Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bioengineering, in particular to a preparation method of a self-pre-stained fluorescent protein Marker. BACKGROUND

[0002] Protein marker is a standard of protein molecular weight size, which is widely used in protein electrophoresis. It is a mixture of proteins or polypeptides with different molecular weight sizes.

[0003] The existing protein Marker development has experienced four development stages of ordinary Marker, pre-stained Marker, exposure Marker and fluorescent protein Marker. Among them, ordinary protein Marker has no dye molecules or marker molecules, and the molecular weight size is exactly the size of the original protein. In the early stage, the protein size can be accurately judged. However, the ordinary Marker cannot be seen during the electrophoresis process, and can only be seen after being dyed together with the target protein, so it cannot play a reference role in the experimental process.

[0004] Pre-stained Marker is a protein (or polypeptide) in ordinary protein Marker, which is covalently coupled with a blue or other color dye after chemical modification. The appearance of pre-stained protein Marker brings great convenience to Western Blot. Researchers can determine the approximate position of the target band according to the size of the blue (or other color) protein Marker on the membrane after membrane transfer, so as to cut and process the membrane.

[0005] Exposure Marker is a mixture of luminescent protein Marker and pre-stained protein Marker with different proportions, which can specifically bind to primary antibody or secondary antibody, so that the final Marker band will appear in the developed picture together with the target protein, avoiding deviation when comparing the picture and the membrane. The preparation process becomes complicated. The exposure pre-stained protein Marker is a fusion protein covalently coupled with active dye remazol, so as to realize the purpose of the same protein being luminescent protein and pre-stained protein. It can combine IgG derived from human, rat, mouse, rabbit and other species, or anti-rabbit and mouse secondary antibody, and indicate the approximate position of the protein during the electrophoresis process and after membrane transfer.
