Abstract  

Objectives: To express human Nek2 protein by prokaryotic expression system, optimize expression conditions and purify Nek2 protein and prepare anti-Nek2 polyclonal antibody.Methods: The fragment of Nek2 gene was constructed on the prokaryotic expression vector pET30a(+) and transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3).Expression of the recombinant protein was induced with IPTG and the conditions such as induction temperature, IPTG inducer concentration and induction time were optimized.The protein was purified by staining with 250mmol/L KCl after 12% SDS-PAGE, and the purified Nek2 protein was identified by mass spectrometry.Polyclonal antibody was prepared by immunizing BALB/c mice with purified Nek2 protein, and the titer and specificity of polyclonal antibody was detected by ELISA, Western blot and immunofluorescence assays.Results: The recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid pET30a(+)-Nek2 was constructed and the recombinant human Nek2 protein was mainly expressed in the form of inclusion bodies.Optimal induction conditions were 28℃,180r/min,IPTG concentration 0.2mmol/L and 32h induction for expression of recombinant protein.The purified protein by mass spectrometry was Nek2 protein, and the concentration of the purified Nek2 protein was 1.35mg/ml.The purified Nek2 protein was used to immunize mice. The titer of polyclonal antibody was greater than 1:243 000 and the polyclonal antibody exhibited a perfect antigenic specificity.Immunofluorescence assay showed that Nek2 was mainly localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus.Conclusion: The recombinant Nek2 protein was used to obtain a anti-Nek2 polyclonal antibody with perfect antigenic specificity.
