Here, we selectively target antibodies against a specific member of a highly conserved family of proteins by immunizing animals with their most divergent regions followed by removing cross reactive antibodies by pre-adsorption.
The nuclear receptor subfamily 4 (NR4A) is composed of 3 related proteins sharing a DNA binding domain (DBD) and a ligand-binding domain (LBD). The nuclear receptor related 1 protein (Nurr1 or NR4A2) plays a key role in the maintenance of the dopaminergic system. Dopamine dysfunctions associated with the Nurr1 gene include Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia and manic depression among others. Furthermore, recent evidence indicates that Nurr1 is also expressed in other brain areas such as the hippocampus and plays critical roles for learning and memory. The other members of the family are nerve growth factor IB (Nur77 or NR4A1) and neuron-derived orphan receptor 1 (NOR1 or NR4A3). To help investigate the precise functional roles of Nurr1 in dopaminergic and other brain region-related neuronal dysfunctions antibodies devoid of cross-reactivities against Nur77 and NOR1 were needed. Since the proteins are more divergent in their LBDs than in their DNA binding domains immunization with purified LBDs should yield antibodies specific for Nurr1 with minimal reactivities against Nur77 and/or NOR1. Although anti-Nurr1 antibodies were successfully generated these showed significant immunoreactivity against the other members of the family. Affinity chromatography over immobilized Protein A followed by pre-adsorption against immobilized Nur77 and NOR1 LBDs yielded Nurr1 specific antibodies free of cross-reactivity. Here, we selectively target antibodies against a specific member of a highly conserved family of proteins by immunizing animals with their most divergent regions followed by removing cross reactive antibodies by pre-adsorption. The goal of the protocol is to increase polyclonal antibodies specificity through pre-adsorption against cross-reactive antigens.
转录因子Nurr1基因和它的同系物(Nur77的和NOR1)属于核受体亚家族4A(NR4A)1。它们还孤儿受体,因为它们的内源性配体尚未得到确认。 Nurr1的于1992年首次克隆并虽然已知在脑中表达2,其用于开发和维护中脑多巴胺神经元的基本作用是揭示基因敲除小鼠的研究3。另外,它的维修中脑多巴胺神经元的重要作用由一个条件性敲除研究4最近被证实。由于这些优雅的研究显示对中脑多巴胺神经元Nurr1基因的关键作用,许多随后的研究主要集中在中脑多巴胺神经元和多巴胺相关的神经退行性疾病,帕金森氏病(PD)5。
值得注意的是,Nurr1的表达不仅在中脑多巴胺(MDA)的神经元,而且在二节脑区2,这表明它可具有在许多非DA领域,这强烈地受到最近的研究显示,Nurr1的起着各种大脑功能的重要作用的支持功能作用。对于实施例,它表明存储器诱导活动,如学习,或其它海马依赖性任务导致上调Nurr1的表达在海马6,7。此外,击倒在海马Nurr1的表达足以削弱长期存储器和/或突触可塑性8-11,强烈暗示Nurr1基因在许多脑区域起着不同的作用。因此,为了进一步理解Nurr1的的细胞类型特异性和亚细胞表达,理想的是使用Nurr1基因特异性抗体,其不表现出任何交叉反应性,以它的同系物Nur77的或NOR1。本文介绍了一种预吸附协议产生Nurr1的特异性抗体和现在的其他数据显示出其特异性。
注意:下面引用的所有解决方案的组合物所用的材料/设备表中找到。
1,蛋白A柱抗体纯化
2.偶合LBD蛋白质来AminoLink耦合树脂
3.阻止遗址尚存
4.净化Nurr1的特异性抗体
纯化的抗Nurr1的抗体5.基于ELISA的分析
蛋白质的比较例A纯化柱Nurr1的特异性抗体用蛋白A纯化的抗Nurr1的抗体然后通过Nur77的LBD和NOR1 LBD列通路示于图1。如可以看到的,蛋白A纯化的Nurr1的抗体表现出强结合到Nurr1的LBD。但是,它也表现出显著结合Nur77的LBD,并NOR1 LBD。当蛋白A纯化的Nurr1的抗Nur77的LBD和NOR1 LED,纯化Nurr1的抗体表现出特异性结合Nurr1的LBD检测不到结合Nur77的LBD或NOR1发光二极管,表明其交叉反应性Nur77的和NOR1是最后?...
此协议的成功依赖于纯蛋白质的提出对感兴趣的蛋白家族的特定成员的抗体鉴定的可用性。没有必要纯化使用蛋白A / G,直到它被明确规定,有显著交叉反应通过ELISA和Western印迹的抗体。
如文中所述,它避免悬浮蛋白(S)以被交联,以在含胺缓冲液如Tris或甘氨酸列是重要的。此外用于交联的最佳蛋白浓度必须根据经验来确定。太在柱上的蛋白质,可能会导致空间位阻,而太?...
