Objective Production of autotoxin protein in sf9 insect cells with biological activity. Methods Autotaxin cDNA was cloned into pFastBacTMHTA from melanoma cell by extraction of total RNA using TRIzol method and RT-PCR. Bacmid-ATX is isolated from transformed competent bacterial DH10 which carries Bac genomic sequences and transfected into sf9 using lipofectamine 2000. Recombinant ATX virus was amplified in sf9 and further used for infection and expression of ATX protein. Two step purification product using HistrapTMHP and Hiload 16/600 Suerdex 200pg was determined for lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity. Results Correct insertion of PCR fragment is confirmed by BamH I/Xho I digestion and sequencing. ATX virus can infect sf9 and induced enzymatic activity. Column purification and SDS-PAGE resulted 95% in purity and 6mg/liter in yield with significant lysoPLD activity. Conclusion ATX Baculovirus was successfully constructed that can infect sf9 cells and express active lysoPLD. Production of active ATX can be used for crystalography studies and screening for small pharmaceutical inhibitors.

Objective:To develop a two-step method for purification of monoclonal antibody rhTF243 protein from mouse ascites by using hydrophobic charge induction chromatography(HCIC) and affinity chromatography with protein A sepharose CL-4B.Methods:The ascites was first purified by HCIC after centrifugation and filtration.Then the fraction containing the protein of interest was directly purified by affinity chromatography with protein A sepharose CL-4B.Results:The purity of the obtained monoclonal antibody was up to 97% with recovery of 73% and of high activity.Conclusion:The method for purification of monoclonal antibody is developed using HCIC and Protein A affinity chromatography and the obtained antibodies are of high purity and activity.
