Abstract
Wnt16 is a member of the nonclassical wnt signaling pathway. Recently, a large number of studies have shown that wnt16 is related to the development of hematopoiesis and skeleton in zebrafish. To elucidate the mechanism of wnt16 in regulation of hematopoiesis, the whole ORF (open reading frame) sequence of wnt16 gene in zebrafish was amplified by RTPCR (reverse transcription PCR), and the eukaryotic expression vector pCAGGSP7/wnt16 was constructed. Then BALB/c female mice immunized with the expression vector to generate antiWNT16 specific polyclonal antibody in zebrafish. The results showed that the antiWNT16 antiserum prepared by immunizing DNA could specifically recognize WNT16 protein. The successful preparation of zebrafish WNT16 antibody lays an important foundation for further study.
