title: [The expression of fusion protein GST-GP302 in E.coli and its preparation of rabbit anti-serum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To express fusion protein of GST and vWf binding domain(GP302) of platelet GPIbalpha in E.coli and its preparation of rabbit anti-serum.
  
  
  METHODS
  GP302 gene was inserted into pGEX-4T-1. The recombinant vector was identificated by restriction endonuclease digestion analysis. Fusion protein GST-GP302 was expressed in E.coli via IPTG induction. The rabbit antibody against GST-GP302 was prepared by using renatured GST-GP302 as immuneogen and the specificity of polyclonal antibody was identified by Western blot.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The restriction endonuclease digestion analysis of recombinant plasmid demonstrated that the GP302 gene had been exactly inserted into pGEX-4T-1. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the ralative molecular mass(M(r)) of the fusion protein was about 59 000. ELISA analysis proved that the titer of rabbit serum against GST-GP302 was 10(-5). The polyclonal antibody specifically bound to purified platelet GPIbalpha.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The preparation of polyclonal antibody against GP302 peptide provides an usefal reagent for the detection of platelet GPIbalpha.
