Abstract: This research, through prokaryotic expression to get intended spider dragline silk protein to prepare specific antibody, would lay the foundation for detecting its expression in eukaryotic cell. Using plasmid pGEX-2T as original vector, we constructed the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-S into the MCS(multiple clone sites)of an artificial synthesized spider dragline silk protein gene inserted. Then we induced the expression of the recombinant plasmid pGEX-S in Escherichia coli competent cells B21 with the utilization of IPTG. Recombinant protein was purified by the means of GST-tag-specific affinity to gain S-GST protein. The specific antibody was prepared by immunizing mouse CDⅠ. After immune collect serum, ELISA was employed. The expression vector pGEX-S coding sequence is right after analysis. The western blot show the recombinant protein band appears at 41 kD. ELISA results indicated that two of mouse A and F have better immunoreactivity. The study proved the successful preparation of specific polyclonal antibody through prokaryotic expression.
