چکیده

Interleukin (IL)-33 is the latest member of IL-1 cytokine family. In this study, the cloning, expression, purification, and polyclonal antibody preparation of mouse IL-33 were described. The coding region of IL-33 mature protein was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-44. The recombinant protein, IL-33 containing a hexahistidine tag in the C-terminal, was expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed soluble protein was purified by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography using Ni2+-nitrilotriacetic acid agarose. The rabbits were immunized with the purified recombinant protein. The obtained antiserum was precipitated by saturated ammonium sulfate and then purified by Protein A affinity chromatography. The sensitivity and specificity of the antibodies were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistry. The high titer (1 : 32000) polyclonal antibodies with high specificity were obtained by immunizing rabbits with the purified recombinant protein. Significant expression of IL-33 was seen in mouse liver and lung tissues determined with the anti-IL-33. The production of the polyclonal antibody against IL-33 provides a good tool for studying the biofunctions of IL-33.

Peptide based polyclonal antibody production against bovine rotavirus non structure protein4 (NSP4)

The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4), is a multi functional protein that play key role in both viral morphogenesis and cytopathic effect associated with cell death. However, the complete biological effect of NSP4 remains to be clarified. Since to obtain further knowledge about this protein there is a need for recognizing antibody and there is no commercial antibody against this protein,...

Tissue Distribution of 125I-human Nonspecific Polyclonal IgG in Normal and Induced Inflammation Mice

Many different radiolabeled antibodies have been used for radioimmunotherapy and radioimmunoscintigraphy of human diseases in animal experiments. In order to study the in vivo tissue distribution of antibody, we labeled human nonspecific polyclonal IgG with Na125I using chloramine-T method. An animal model was developed by injecting turpentine in the posterior left thigh of Balb/c mice. Tissue ...
