Title: Preparation of rabbit anti-Ganoderma sinensis immunomodulatory protein polyclonal antibody
Abstract: Ganoderma sinensis immunomodulatory protein (FIP-gsi) was a new protein in fungal immunomodulatory protein (FIP) family. Based on the recombinant FIP-gsi expressed inEscherichia coli, the New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with the purity protein to prepare anti-FIP-gsi polyclonal antibody. The efficacy of polyclonal antibody was detected by ELISA and Western blot. The results showed that the anti-FIP-gsi polyclonal antibody with high efficient value and specificity has been successfully preparation, and its efficient value was 1:625,000 detected by indirect ELISA, and a special band had been observed by Western blot method. This study established a method to identify FIP-gsi by immunoblotting, and will lay a foundation for further exploring the immunologic function of FIP-gsi. Key words: Ganoderma sinensis fugal immunomodulatory proteins (FIP-gsi), polyclonal antibody, ELISA, Western blot.
