Aim: To analyze YZ-2, a novel protein associated with cerebral ischemia and prepares its polyclonal antibody.
Methods: According to the bioinformatics analysis and prediction of the possible high structure, hydrophilicity and antigenicity of YZ-2, a 22-amino acid residue partial peptide of YZ-2 was synthesized. The synthesized peptide was then used to immunize. And the properties of anti-YZ2 were analyzed by ELISA and Western blot.
Results: The hydrophilicity and antigenicity were predicted by methods of bioinformatics. The polyclonal antibody of YZ-2 was successfully obtained and its specificity and sensitivity were conformed by ELISA and Western blot.
Conclusion: By the bioinformatics analysis and prediction, the hydrophilicity and antigenicity of YZ2 were analyzed. The antibody of YZ-2 was successfully obtained.
