Aim: To prepare polyclonal antibodies against RelA protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Methods: RelA gene segment was inserted into pET-32a(+) and the recombinant protein RelA was expressed in E.coli under IPTG induction.The protein was purified and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.Polyclonal antibody to RelA was got by immunizing rabbits with the protein. Quality and quantity of the antibody was identified.

Results: RelA gene segment was successfully inserted into pET-32a(+) and recombinant protein RelA was obtained.The polyclonal antibody to RelA had a good specificity, and the titer reached more than 1:6 400.

Conclusion: RelA recombinant protein and rabbit anti-RelA polyclonal antibody with high specificity were obtained, which provided good tools for further studying functional characterization of RelA.

Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) injections combined with Anastrozole are increasingly used to treat adolescent idiopathic short stature (ISS), warranting further research. This study evaluated their effects on height, growth rate and adverse reactions in 72 adolescents with ISS treated at our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. Patients were divided into a control group (rhGH alone) and a study group (rhGH + Anastrozole).

Objective The prevalence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains is exacerbating the global burden of tuberculosis (TB), highlighting the urgent need for new treatment strategies for TB. Methods The recombinant adenovirus vaccine expressing cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) phosphodiesterase B (CnpB) (rAd-CnpB), was administered to normal mice via mucosal immunization, either alone or in combination with drug therapy, to treat Mtb respiratory infections in mice.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of antibodies in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).

Pectin is a complex plant heteropolysaccharide whose structure and function differ depending on its source. In animal feed, breaking down pectin is essential, as its presence increases feed viscosity and reduces nutrient absorption. Soybean meal, a protein-rich poultry feed ingredient, contains significant amounts of pectin, the structure of which remains unclear.
