A simple method for the production of specific antiserum to protein encoded in cloned genes. Immunization with precipitin lines
1987
Abstract A simple technique for raising specific antisera to protein encoded by cloned genes is described. The procedure involves preparation of an antiserum to Escherichia coli β-galactosidase and the use of that serum to immunoprecipitate a fusion protein in a crossed immunoelectrophoresis gel followed by immunization with fusion protein precipitin arcs. An antiserum was prepared against protein encoded by an open reading frame in a dispersed repeated DNA sequence found in the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei . This serum recognized a polypeptide doublet of 33.5 and 32.5 kDa on immunoblots prepared from extracts of T. brucei . The method described should be applicable to other investigations where an immunochemical reagent against protein encoded by a cloned gene is desired.
