Περίληψη:
Thymosin β10 (43 amino acids) was synthesized following the Fmoc-solid-phase strategy, using a new p-cyanotrityl resin. This resin shows enhanced acid stability compared with the usual trityl ester resins, thus providing selective peptide synthesis with high yield and purity. Crude Tβ10 was purified with gel filtration and semi-preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The purified synthetic peptide was shown to co-elute with recombinant Tβ10 in an analytical RP-HPLC system. The amino acid analysis data were in agreement with those reported for the literature primary structure of natural Tβ10. The electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) data showed almost identical average mass (Mr,exp)-values for the synthetic or the recombinant product, which were in agreement with the molecular mass calculated on the basis of the proposed primary structure for the peptide. Furthermore, the synthetic Tβ10 exhibited similar immunochemical characteristics compared with the recombinant material in an in vitro ELISA test using rabbit polyclonal anti-Tβ10 antiserum.
