- Abstract
- A gene encoding attacin E, an inducible antibacterial protein from Hyalophora cecropia pupae, was cloned into the pRSETB Escherichia coli expression vector under the control of the T7 promoter. The resulting vector, pRSETBAtt, produced a fusion protein in E. coli JM109 of attacin with an N-terminal peptide containing six histidine residues in tandem. Fusion attacin was purified from cell lysates (6-9 mg l(-1)) by Ni2+-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Purified attacin protein was used as antigen to produce polyclonal antibody to detect attacin expressed in transgenic apple. Antibody capture immunoassay and immunoblot assays indicated that polyclonal antisera derived from fusion attacin had specific immunoreaction against attacins in the hemolymph of immunized pupae and attacin expressed in transgenic apple lines similar to native attacin antisera. Attacin expressed in transgenic apple could be quantified using immunoblot assays with the fusion attacin polyclonal antibody.
