ABSTRACT
Cell migration regulated by Thrombospondin 2 (THSB2) is important for the development of pulmonary artery remodeling, but the mechanism by which THBS2-mediated cell migration regulates the development of pulmonary artery remodeling in broiler ascites syndrome (AS) is unclear. In addition, the lack of chicken THBS2 antibodies makes it difficult to study the mechanism in depth. In our study, we used recombinant gene technology, protein purification, and other techniques to obtain mouse anti-chicken THBS2 antibody and analyze its expression in broilers, ascites broilers and other animals. The results showed that we immunized mouse with recombinant THBS2 protein and obtained an antibody titer of 1204,800, and the addition of astragalus polysaccharide as an immunomodulator during immunization significantly increased the titer of the antibody. Western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence results showed that the THBS2 was significantly down-regulated in the ascites broiler. The THBS2 antibody we prepared can also detect THBS2 protein in duck, mouse, goat, and rabbit tissues. These results provide a foundation for further investigation of the role of THBS2 in pulmonary artery remodeling in broiler ascites syndrome and a powerful tool for studying the role of THBS2 in AS.
