Cloning and Expression of a Novel Gene Fragment CG 14 Related to Spermatogenesis in E. coli

Based on previous work, a novel gene fragment CG 14 related to spermatogenesis was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX 3X. After restriction analysis,PCR identification and DNA sequencing, the positive clone was induced by IPTG. The expected protein was expressed in fusion form with a high yield. The expression product was purified by glutathione Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and digested by factor Xa. Western blotting showed that the approximate molecular weight of the final product was 8 kD. Rabbits were immunized with the fusion protein, the specific antibody against the target protein was raised.
