Aim: To clone and express CML66 cDNA and to prepare rabbit anti-CML66 antibody.

Methods: cDNA isolated from the testis using RT-PCR was cloned into pGEMT. After sequencing, the cDNA was inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pET32b(+). The recombinant vector was transformed into BL-21(DE3) through electroporation. 6xHis-tagged CML66 expression was then induced by IPTG. The protein was purified through Ni(2+) affinity chromatography column and characterized by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The purified protein was injected into rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibody.

Results: The cloned cDNA sequence was identical with that previously reported. The target protein was successfully purified. And rabbit's anti-serum with high titer was obtained.

Conclusion: We have cloned CML66 successfully, expressed and purified the protein in E.coli.Furthermore,rabbit polyclonal antibody has been obtained.

Vitamin B (cobalamin, herein B) is a key cofactor for most organisms being involved in essential metabolic processes. In microbial communities, B is often scarce, largely because only few prokaryotes can synthesize B and are thus considered B-prototrophs. B-auxotrophy is mostly manifested by the absence of the B-independent methionine synthase, MetE.

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules on the surface of red blood cells play an important regulatory role in the invasion of merozoites of apicomplexan protozoa. Heparan sulfate, a type of GAG molecule, has been identified as an important receptor facilitating the invasion of red blood cells by these parasites. Proteins in the parasite that exhibit strong affinity for heparin may play a pivotal role in this invasion process.

Insights into the diverse roles of the terminal oxidases in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111.

Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, Zürich, 8008, Switzerland.

Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 is an obligate aerobic bacterium which has been isolated from a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient. In CF lungs the environment is considered micro-oxic or even oxygen-depleted due to bacterial activities and limited oxygen diffusion in the mucus layer. To adapt to low oxygen concentrations, bacteria possess multiple terminal oxidases.

Ferritin nanoparticles significantly enhance the immune response to the African swine fever virus p34 protein.

Background: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease, and the core-shell protein p34 is an important antigen that can induce immune responses. The use of ferritin nanoparticles for the orderly and repetitive display of antigens on the particle surface can improve the immunogenicity of subunit vaccines. Here, we used the SpyCatcher/Spytag system to conjugate ferritin nanoparticles with the p34 protein (F-p34).

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.
