This invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically to a method for preparing neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipid
transport protein and its
antibody. Specifically, using pET23a(+) as the
expression vector, the NGAL
gene with six His tags fused to its N-terminus under
promoter control is introduced into *E. coli* for induced expression. After purification using a Ni Focurose 6FF column and a
molecular sieve column, tag-free
NGAL protein with a purity ≥95% is obtained. Subsequently, the
NGAL protein is used to repeatedly immunize Japanese rabbits, and serum is collected after each immunization. Qualified serum is screened using a two-dimensional
agar diffusion assay, and then purified using the aforementioned
antigen to prepare an
antigen affinity purification column, yielding a highly active NGAL polyclonal
antibody. The high-purity recombinant NGAL of this invention not only possesses activity but is also low-cost, not limited by raw materials, and can be
mass-produced, possessing potential and wide-
ranging application value in clinical and
in vitro diagnostics.
