Abstract: The aims of the experiment was to optimize the prokaryotic expression system of σC protein,prepare polyclonal antibody against σC protein of novel duck reovirus (NDRV),and evaluate the titer of the antibody.The σC gene of NDRV-DH13 strain was amplified by RT-PCR,ligated into pET-30a(+) and pET-32a(+) expression vector,constructed prokaryotic expression plasmid,which were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) and the expression of the σC protein were induced by IPTG.The proteins expression were analyzed by SDS-PAGE.The recombinant protein without His tag was purified by digestion,and the recombinant protein with His-tagged was purified by Ni-NTA column.Then the polyclonal antibody was obtained from rabbits which had been immunized by the purified protein without His tag.Anti-His-labeled mAb and NDRV-σC positive serum were used as primary antibodies to evaluate antibodies specificity,the antibodies titer was detected by indirect ELISA (iELISA).SDS-PAGE results showed that the molecular weight of the expression on recombinant proteins were 34 and 37 ku respectively,the proteins were highly expression.Western blotting showed that they had the specific reaction and the prepared antibodies had higher affinity with σC protein,the titer were about 1:25 600 by iELISA detection.This study successfully constructed and optimized the prokaryotic expression system of the polyclonal antibody against σC protein,laid a foundation for the further study of σC protein and the research of genetically engineered vaccine.
