hNOK抗体的制备及肺癌组织中NOK的表达检测

Preparation of Anti-hNOK Antibodies and Expression Examination of NOK in the Lung Cancer Tissues

摘要:

Novel Oncogene with Kinase-domain (NOK)是一个新的肿瘤相关基因, 其结构上?与受体蛋白相似, 具有一个蛋白激酶结构域。过量表达NOK会导致肿瘤的产生与转移。为了更进一步研究生理状态下NOK的功能, 需要制备NOK特异性的抗体。利用GST融合蛋白制备了人源NOK的多克隆抗体, 并进行了纯化。检测表明所得的抗体具有很高的滴度, 能够特异性检测NOK蛋白的表达。使用该抗体进行了人肺癌组织的免疫组化检测, 发现该抗体能够高效识别组织内源性表达的NOK蛋白, 可为肺癌的诊断提供依据。

Abstract:

Novel Oncogene with Kinase-domain (NOK) is a novel tumor-related gene, coding receptor like protein with a kinase domain. Overexpression of NOK leads to tumorigenesis and metastasis. To further study NOK function in physiological condition, it is necessary to prepare the anti-NOK antibody. In this report, GST fusion protein was adopted to prepare polyclonal antibodies against hNOK. The result showed that the antibodies we generated is with a very high titriation, and can be used for examination of NOK protein by Westernblot. Furthermore, the antibodies were used for immunohistochemistry in lung cancer tissues, and the results demonstrated high expression of hNOK in the tumor tissues. The antibody of hNOK we generated can serve as a diagnostic method for the lung cancer.
