Article Abstract
Objective: To prepare polyclonal antibody against invariant chain of Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) (MDIi) and identify its reaction with MDIi extracted from tissues of Muscovy duck.
Methods: MDIi was amplified by PCR and used to construct the prokaryotic expression vector of pET-32a/MDIi by linking with the plasmid of pET-32a. Then pET-32a/MDIi was transformed into E.coli Rosetta to induce the prokaryotic expression. After identified by SDS-PAGE, prokaryotic expression products were further purified from running gel of SDS-PAGE and injected into mice to prepare polyclonal antibody against MDIi. The titer and specificity of the polyclonal antibody against MDIi were analyzed by indirect ELISA and Western blotting, respectively. The intensity of reaction between the polyclonal antibody and MDIi extracted from tissues of Muscovy duck was also identified by indirect ELISA.
Results: The prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a/MDIi was successfully constructed. About 40 kD recombinant proteins of MDIi were confirmed to be expressed in the form of inclusion body in Rosetta. Polyclonal antibody against MDIi with a titer of 1:128 000 was obtained from the immunized mice and its high specificity was demonstrated by Western blotting. The titer of reaction between the polyclonal antibody and MDIi was 1:32 000.
Conclusion: The polyclonal antibody against MDIi was successfully prepared with a high titer and specificity. It has a strong immune reaction with MDIi extracted from tissues of Muscovy duck.

Lead (Pb) contamination, a kind of heavy metal pollution, severely impacts organism growth and reproduction. Although vitellogenin (Vg) has been studied in many species, its characteristics in the pest Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau) (Acari: Acaridae) remain unknown. In this study, the full-length Vg gene of A.

NSG-SGM3 humanized mouse models are well-suited for studying human immune physiology but are technically challenging and expensive. We previously characterized a simplified NSG-SGM3 mouse, engrafted with human donor CD34 hematopoietic stem cells without receiving prior bone marrow ablation or human secondary lymphoid tissue implantation, that still retains human mast cell- and basophil-dependent passive anaphylaxis responses. Its capacities for human antibody production and human B cell maturation, however, remain unknown.

Anti-Aβ antibodies are important tools for identifying structural features of aggregates of the Aβ peptide and are used in many aspects of Alzheimer's disease (AD) research. Our laboratory recently reported the generation of a polyclonal antibody, pAb2AT-L, that is moderately selective for oligomeric Aβ over monomeric and fibrillar Aβ and recognizes the diffuse peripheries of Aβ plaques in AD brain tissue but does not recognize the dense fibrillar plaque cores. This antibody was generated against 2AT-L, a structurally defined Aβ oligomer mimic composed of three Aβ-derived β-hairpins arranged in a triangular fashion and covalently stabilized with three disulfide bonds.

Background: In autoimmune disease it is not understood how self-reactive B cells escape immune tolerance checkpoints to produce pathogenic autoantibodies.
Objective: In patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by IgM autoantibodies against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the sulphated trisaccharide CD57, we aimed to test the hypothesis that B cells making the autoantibody escaped tolerance by acquiring lymphoma driver somatic mutations.
Methods: Deep single-cell RNA, DNA, flow cytometric and antibody specificity analysis of blood from three patients with MAG neuropathy.
The interaction of antirenalase antibodies with full-length recombinant human renalases RNLS1 and RNLS2, as well as fragments of these proteins encoded by alternative exons 9 and 10 and expressed as fusion proteins with dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in Escherichia coli cells has been investigated. In this study we used custom made polyclonal antibodies to the full-length recombinant RNLS1 (amino acid residues (aa) 1-342), created at our request, as well as commercially available monoclonal antibodies to the renalase fragment (aa - 18-342), specific for the RNLS1 isoform and its C-terminal sequence encoded by exon 9. According to Western blot analysis, the antibodies interacted not only with recombinant RNLS1 and RNLS2 preparations, but also with fusion proteins containing C-terminal sequences specific for these isoforms (DHFR-RNLS-9ex and DHFR-RNLS-10ex).
