Abstract: 【Objective】To prepare polyclonal antibodies of component genes from glideosome, gap45, gap50, myo A, and mlc were cloned and expressed in prokaryotic system. 【Method】 Rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) was used to amplify the full lengths of gap45, gap50, myo A, and mlc. The partial or complete open reading frames (ORF) of those genes were further inserted into prokaryotic expression vector and then transformed into BL21 (DE3) pLys to express by inducing with IPTG. The purified fusion proteins, with MagneGST™ Protein Purification System, were injected into rabbits to produce polyclonal antibodies. Specificities and titers of the polyclonal antibodies were determined by ELISA assay. 【Result】The full-length cDNAs of gap45, gap50, myo A, and mlc, were 664, 1 391, 2 538, 773 bp and open reading frames (ORF) were 567, 1 194, 2 514, and 606 bp in size. The polyclonal antibodies prepared had good specificities and the titers were more than 1:25 600.【Conclusion】In the present study, the full length of four component genes of B. motasi glideosome were amplified and their polyclonal antibodies were obtained, which will provide important biological materials for screening and identifying candidate antigens of vaccination and diagnosis, drug targets as well studying invasion mechanism of Babesia in the future.
