Abstract:
AIM: To prepare recombinant human spermine oxidase (SMO) and polyclonal antibody against human SMO by gene recombination techniques. METHODS: Human SMO cDNA was amplified from total RNA of A549 cells through reverse transcription PCR. The cDNA was then cloned into pET-15b to construct SMO prokaryotic expression vector. After transforming, the vector was induced to express recombinant SMO by IPTG in E. coli BL21 (DE_3). Recombinant SMO was purified by Ni-NTA resin under denaturing condition and then was dialyzed to renature. The enzyme activity of recombinant SMO was analyzed by chemical fluorescent method. SMO polyclonal antibody was prepared by using recombinant human SMO protein purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as antigen to inoculate rabbit intradermally. The titer and specificity of anti-sera were determined by ELISA, Western blot and Immune Cell Chemistry. RESULTS: Purified and dialyzed recombinant human SMO has the specificicity of oxidizing the spermine. The polyclonal antibody has high titer and specificity against human SMO. CONCLUSION: This research established a method for prokaryotic expression, purification and polyclonal antibody preparation of human SMO. The method lays a foundation for the future functional research of SMO.
