Abstract: In order to express and purify phosphoglyceric kinase (PGK) of Mycoplasma haemocanis, and prepare its polyclonal antibodies, the information of PGK gene sequence was obtained from the published Mycoplasma haemocanis genome on NCBI. The modified PGK gene sequence was synthesized chemically according to the prokaryotic cells-preferred codon, and inserted into pET32a(+). The constructed recombinant plasmid pET32a(+)-pgk was transformed to E. coli BL21(DE3)competent cells, and induced with IPTG. The expression product was detected by Western-blot, and then purified by Ni-affinity purification column. The purified recombinant protein was used to immune Kunming mice and to produce the polyclonal antibodies. The serum antibody titer was determined by indirect ELISA. The results showed that recombinant plasmid pET32a(+)-pgk was constructed correctly, and successfully expressed in BL21. The relative molecular mass of recombinant protein was about 60 ku. And the protein was existed in both inclusion bodies and supernatant. The high-purified recombinant protein was obtained by Ni-affinity purification column, and the prepared mice antiserum reached a titer of 1:51 200.
