Abstract:

Objective: To clone, express and identify the gene of Gal d 3 in eggs. Methods: The total RNA was extracted from eggs, and the gene of Gal d 3 was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into pMD18-T for sequencing. Then the interesting gene was subcloned into pET-28a for expression. After purification of the recombinant protein, its IgE-binding capacity was determined by Western blotting. Results: The gene of Gal d 3 in eggs is obtained by clone, which has 2118 bp and encodes 705 amino acids. This isoelectric point of the encoded protein is 6.5 with a molecular weight of 76000. Conclusion: The main allergen gene Gal d 3 in eggs is successfully cloned and expressed in this study, and this recombinant protein shows good IgE-binding capacity.
