چکیده

Background: The production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli is one of the most valuable achievements in biotechnology, with many therapeutic and diagnostic applications; however, the aggregation and misfolding of proteins that result in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies is a disruptive factor in this process. Various solubilization and refolding methods can be used to improve recombinant protein conformation. In this study, we applied a dilution method with a refolding buffer to produce a native form of soluble immature mouse TGF-β۱. Materials and Methods: The TGF-β۱ cDNA which encodes the protein without the signal peptide, was cloned into the pET۲۱-b (+) vector. The target protein was expressed by the transformation of E. coli BL۲۱ cells with the plasmid. The resulting inclusion bodies were solubilized and then diluted in the refolding buffer to make a protein with native structure. Results: Following PCR of the recombinant plasmid with T۷ primers, electrophoresis and sequencing of the amplified product indicated ۱۰۰% identity of the target sequence with the murine TGF-β۱ gene. Finally, the protein solubility and immuno-reactivity were confirmed a ۴۴ kDa protein which conducted with the anti-TGF-β۱-specific polyclonal antibody on a western blot. Conclusion: Our dilution method and refolding buffer effectively converted aggregated immature mouse TGF-β۱ to a soluble and immuno-reactive form.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
