The target protein appeared as a single peak when eluted by 300 mmol/l imidazole in affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis and gel-filtration HPLC on a TSK-GEL G2000SWxl column revealed that recombinant CAT L was highly purified, and the molecular weight was about 28 kd with purity greater than 95%. The activity assay with Z-Phe-Arg-MCA as a substrate indicated that the recombinant CAT L could combine with its endogenesis inhibitor of Cystatin at a 1.. 1 ratio, and thus took on the biological activity of cysteine protease. Balb/C mice were immunized by the purified protein to obtain antiserum, and ELISA showed that the titer of CAT L antiserum was higher than 1.. 512000. Western blotting showed that the CAT L polyclonal antibody was highly specific for recognizing recombinant CAT L protein expressed in prokaryotic cells. Immunohistochemistry analysis indicated that this antibody also recognized endogenous CAT L protein expressed in the hepatopancreas, muscle, small intestine, heart, and spleen of Jian carp. Based on these results, the polyclonal antibody obtained in this study could be used to detect CAT L expression and distribution in different tissues of fish based on protein level.
