OBJECTIVE PKHDL1 (the gene for Polycystic Kidney and Hepatic Disease Like-1) had been recently identified, but characteristics of the gene product, Fibrocystin-L (FPC-L), still remain unknown. We therefore produced a rabbit polyclonal antibody hFL-Np to explore the cellular characteristics of this novel protein. METHODS Based on the hydrophobic/hydrophilic analyses, chose a cDNA fragment which encodes 633L-768K amino acids of the FPC-L and amplified it by RT-PCR. The PCR product was then cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-GST. With IPTG induction, the antigen hFL-N was produced and further purified. A rabbit was immunized with the antigen and its antiserum was collected. Applied Western blot with the polyclonal antiserum hFL-Np and validated the antibody specific for FPC-L protein. In addition, also used immunofluorescence staining with hFL-Np to detect the subcellular distribution in cultured HEK293 cells. RESULTS The prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-hFL-N was successfully constructed and a hFL-N antigen was produced in E.coli Rossetta cells. Using the antigen, a polyclonal antibody hFL-Np was produced and the specificity for FPC-L was also proved by biochemistry and cellular assays. Using the antibody, the cellular staining reveals that FPC-L was a cytosolic protein. CONCLUSIONS We produced an anti-FPC-L polyclonal antibody hFL-Np. By biochemistry and cellular characterization, proved that the polyclonal antibody hFL-Np is specific for FPC-L and demonstrated FPC-L is a cytosolic protein. The finding provides a platform for further dissecting FPC-L functions in mammalian development.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
