摘要:

制备抗小鼠Cabs1(Calcium-binding and spermatid-specific protein 1)多克隆抗体,以便进一步利用小鼠模型解析Cabs1蛋白在精子变形与精子功能调控中的功能。以密码子的简并性和偏好性为原则,优化小鼠Cabs1基因编码序列,构建重组表达载体ET-30a(+)/Cabs1,原核表达系统表达重组蛋白,免疫新西兰大白兔获得血清,通过亲和纯化得到Cabs1多克隆抗体。Western Blot、免疫荧光实验验证抗体的应用价值。结果显示,获得了高效价、特异性识别Cabs1的多克隆抗体。Western Blot、免疫荧光实验发现小鼠Cabs1蛋白开始表达于长型精子阶段,在成熟精子中主要定位于顶体和主段。同时进一步发现该抗体还可以识别人Cabs1蛋白。此外,Cabs1抗体也可以识别天然未变性的Cabs1蛋白,用于鉴定和研究Cabs1蛋白的互作复合物。制备的抗体解决了目前商业化的Cabs1抗体均不能识别小鼠来源的Cabs1蛋白的问题。

Abstract:

This study aims to prepare anti-mouse Cabs1(calcium-binding and spermatid-specific protein 1)polyclonal antibody contributing to further analyze the Cabs1 functions in the regulation of spermiogenesis and sperm function in mice. The mouse Cabs1 gene coding sequence was optimized based on the codon degeneracy and usage bias. Next,the recombinant expression vector ET-30a(+)/Cabs1 was constructed to express recombinant protein. The recombinant protein was subcutaneously immunized New Zealand white rabbit to produce serum,and the Cabs1 polyclonal antibody was obtained by affinity and purification. Western blot and immunofluorescence experiments verified the application value of antibodies. As results,polyclonal antibodies with high titer and specificity for Cabs1 were obtained,and the results by Western blot and immunofluorescence experiments revealed that Cabs1 protein of the mouse began to be expressed in elongating spermatid and mainly located in the acrosome and the flagellar principal piece. This antibody also could be used to immunological recognition for human Cabs1. In addition,our Cabs1 antibody also recognized naturally un-denatured Cabs1 protein,suggesting that this antibody could be employed to identify and study the interaction complexes of Cabs1. In conclusion,the prepared antibody solves the problem that the commercial Cabs1 antibodies cannot recognize the mouse Cabs1 protein.
