Objective To clone three isoforms of apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) cDNA, to express and purify the corresponding proteins. Methods The cDNA encoding apoE3 was cloned by the method RT PCR from total human liver RNA. Site directed mutagenesis was used to obtain the cDNA encoding apoE2 and apoE4 isforms. These three cDNAs were subcloned into pT7 PL expressing the target protein as a (His)6 tagged fusion. The purified proteins were gained by Ni NTA column. Results These three sequences were confirmed by comparison with GenBank. 6×His fusion proteins (...
