초록

선천성 면역은 숙주의 물리적 방어벽을 뚫고 침입하는 감염성 질병 원인균에 대항하는 첫 번째 방어로서 아주 중요한 역할을 한다. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL 또는 mannan-binding protein, MBP)은 혈청 내에 존재하는 면역성 단백질로서 감염 후 즉시 유발되는 acute phase response의 특정 단백질이다. MBL 단백질은 세균, 바이러스, 곰팡이, 기생충 등의 탄수화합물 구조에 결합하여 식균 작용을 돕거나 보체경로를 활성화 시킨다. MBL 단백질은 C-말단이 탄수화물을 인식하는 도메인이며, 연결 목 부위와 콜라겐 부위로 구성되어 있다. 혈청 내의 MBL 농도가 낮으면 높은 빈도로 면역결핍현상이 관찰된다고 알려져 있다. MBL 단백질의 기능과 유전에 대해 많은 연구가 되어져 왔으나 아직 MBL 단백질 복합체 등에 대한 연구는 많이 이루어져 있지 않다. 따라서 MBL 연구에 필수적인 MBL cDNA 제조와 재조합 단백질의 합성, 그리고 재조합 단백질을 항원으로 사용하여 polyclonal antibody를 생산한 연구 결과를 보고하는 바이다. 본 연구결과로 획득한 MBL cDNA, 재조합 단백질과 anti-MBL 항체는 앞으로의 MBL 연구에 절대적으로 필요한 도구가 될 것으로 생각된다.

The innate immune system is important for the first line of host defence against infectious agents, which have penetrated the mechanical barriers. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL or mannan-binding protein, MBP) is a serum protein that is synthesized in the liver as a part of the acute phase response. MBL binds to carbohydrate structures presented by a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. MBL is synthesized as a monomer that has a carboxy-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain, a neck region and a collagen region. Low MBL level was reported to be the most frequent immuno-deficiency syndrome. Although extensive studies have yielded detailed information on the structure of MBL, functions of the MBL complex are not fully understood yet. We, here, present cloning process of MBL cDNA from the rat liver and production of truncated recombinant MBL protein using a bacterial expression system in order to produce anti-MBL polyclonal antibody. Anti-MBL polyclonal antibody was raised in a New Zealand rabbit and its affinity was tested against recombinant protein using western blot technique. MBL cDNA, recombinant protein and anti-MBL antibody could be used as great arsenals to dissect cellular biochemistry of MBL.
