Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to fields including utilization of insect resources, biotechnology and development of medicine and veterinary medicine, and is suitable for screening of various insects. Background technique
[0002] As the most diverse organisms on the earth, insects have the characteristics of fast reproduction and wide adaptability. Except for the ocean, insects are distributed in all ecological environments. Since the 19th century, insects have been studied as immune defense systems, and studies have shown that antimicrobial proteins play a key role in insect humoral immune responses (Boman, 2003; Kimbrell, 2001; Hoffmann et al., 1992; Hultmark, 1993). The existing insects that still exist on the earth have survived the fierce competition for survival. During the long-term evolution process, they have enhanced their ability to resist the infection of various pathogenic bacteria, which screens insects with antibacterial effects for us. Antimic...
Examples
Embodiment 1
[0048] Embodiment 1, a method for constructing and screening an insect-derived antimicrobial protein / peptide gene library, the following steps are performed in sequence:
[0049] 1. Construction of cDNA expression library
[0050] On the basis of extracting insect mRNA, proceed according to the steps specified in the operation guide of the corresponding kit.
[0051] Isolate total RNA from whole or specific organs (tissues) of insects (species can be selected), and obtain poly(A) by purifying mRNA kit + RNA. Using cDNA synthesis kit, Synthesis kits and Gigapack III cloning kit, follow the instructions of the kit to perform each step to construct a cDNA expression library. (kits can be purchased from various biological companies)
[0052] 2. Screening of cDNA library
[0053] (1) Preparation of SOLR bacteria solution
[0054] Burn the inoculation ring on the alcohol lamp until red, dip a small amount of Escherichia coli SOLR glycerol bacteria in the Kan + Streak on th...
