Abstract: 【Objective】 The polyclonal antibody of cyclophilin A (Cyp-A) was prepared, in order to provide a basis for revealing the mechanism of mucosal immune response in Bactrian camel.【Method】 The coding region was selected from the Cyp-A gene sequence of Bactrian camel in GenBank (accession No.:XM_010969543.1).The extracellular sequence without signal peptide was intercepted and optimized its base, and the recombinant plasmid pET-28a-Cyp-A was constructed by connecting it with pET-28a (+) vector.The recombinant plasmid pET-28a-Cyp-A was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) competent cell to induce expression.After optimizing the induction conditions, the expression of the recombinant protein was identified by SDS-PAGE.Then the recombinant protein was purified and used to immunize rabbits to prepare rabbit anti-Bactrian camel Cyp-A polyclonal antibody.The antibody titer and specificity were detected by ELISA and Western blotting, respectively.HE and SABC immunohistochemical staining methods were used to observe the location of Cyp-A using self-made polyclonal antibody.【Result】 The recombinant plasmid pET-28a-Cyp-A was mainly expressed in the form of inclusion body.The size of Cyp-A protein was about 17 ku.The optimal induction conditions were 0.7 mmol/L IPTG and 8 h.The optimal elution concentration of the protein was 5 mmol/L imidazole.By ELISA and Western blotting detection, the titer of rabbit anti-Bactrian camel Cyp-A polyclonal antibody was 1:64 000, which could specifically recognize the recombinant protein Cyp-A.HE and SABC immunohistochemical staining results showed that Cyp-A polyclonal antibody could only specifically stain M cells in ileum follicular associated epithelium (FAE).【Conclusion】 The rabbit anti-Bactrian camel Cyp-A polyclonal antibody with high titer and specificity was successfully prepared, which could be used to specifically recognize M cells in ileum of Bactrian camel.
