Abstract:
Objective:To express and purify His-FAPαc fusion protein and to generate rabbit anti-mouse FAPα polyclonal antibody,which was used to analyze FAPα expression in tumor cells,Fibroblast cells and tumor stroma.Methods:A prokaryotic expression plasmid of pET28a(+)-FAPαc constructed by our laboratory was transformed into BL21.The expression of His-FAPαc protein was induced by IPTG.The anti-mouse FAPα polyclonal antibody was obtained by immunizing rabbits with purified His-FAPαc protein.The quality of the antibody was identified by Western blot and ELISA.Whether FAPα expression in mouse tumor cells,fibroblast cells and tumor stroma was also analyzed using the antibody.Results:His-FAPαc fusion protein was specifically combined with rabbit anti-mouse FAPα polyclonal.The polyclonal antibody was of high titer with high specificity.It could recognize FAPα expression in mouse embryo fibroblast cells and tumor stroma.Conclusion:The rabbit anti-mouse FAPα polyclonal antibody could recognize FAPα expression in mouse embryo fibroblast cells and tumor stroma.Therefore,providing a tool to study the role of FAPα in tumor generation,promotion and metastasis.It also establishes a foundation of further anti-tumor research.
