Abstract
The preparation of recombinant human HSP70 and its presenting-antigen function were investigated. Cultured in glucose-free M9ZB medium and induced with IPTG and lactose at a final concentration of 0.02 mmol/L and 5 mmol/L respectively, the engineered bacteria carrying expression vector of human HSP70 gene expressed rHSP70 at an efficiency fo 60%. After the purification with DEAE ion-exchange chromatography, HSP70 with a purity of higher than 90% was obtained. The purified product could bind tumor-antigen peptide in vitro, and the binding was identified by native PAGE containing 5% glycerol. HSP70-peptide complex could activate lymphocytes to produce specific cytotoxicity to tumor cells, suggesting that the recombinant human HSP70 could be used as an antigen-presenting reagent in tumor therapy.
