FAS is a typeⅠ integral membrane protein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) receptor family and tranduces a cell death signal.The aim of this study was to prepare recombinant FAS antigen and its antibodies for the research of its functions in the future.In this work,the DNA fragments of extracellular domain of human FAS molecule were amplified by PCR method,and then cloned into PGEM T vector.After DNA sequencing,it was cloned into GST fusion protein expressive vector PGEX KG,then recombinant plasmid pKG hFAS was constructed and introduced into E.coli .GST hFAS fusion protein was expressed at the induction of IPTG.By affinity chromatography with glutathione sepharose 4B,GST hFAS fusion protein was purified.By thrombin cleavage and second affinity chromatography,GST protein was removed and recombinant human FAS protein was purified.Recombinant GST FAS and purified FAS extracellular protein could be recognized by anti hFAS monoclonal antibody sc 714 G.With purified FAS as antigen,anti FAS polyclonal antibodies were prepared.Anti FAS Ab could induce apoptosis of U937 cells.
