FluID- Blood Detection
Coding sequence for Human haemoglobin A. Haemoglobin is the tetrameric protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen. It is composed of four polypeptide chains, which in adults consist of two alpha (a) globin chains and two beta (b) globin chains. In blood plasma, haptoglobin binds free haemoglobin released from red blood cells, inhibiting its oxidative activity. The haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex can then be removed by the reticuloendothelial system which is a part of the immune system. Despite this, haemoglobin is still found free in the blood plasma at a concentration of up to 0.1g/l and this is what we hope to detect. .

Characterisation of haemoglobin beta following SEC (size exclusion chromatography). A) The sample of concentrated fractions containing haemoglobin beta from nickel affinity purification was loaded onto a SEC column and the protein was eluted. B) 10µl of each fraction corresponding to the two observed peaks was mixed with 10µl of laemmli buffer and loaded onto a SDS gel (12.5% acrylamide). The bands observable on the gel are in line with the expected size of haemoglobin beta - 16kDa. C) Western blotting was then carried out against an anti-his antibody to confirm the presence of hHHB- His.

Characterization of Human haptoglobin following nickel affinity FPLC. A) Chromatogram showing the purification profile of the His-tagged Human haptoglobin. The fractions corresponding to the two peaks observed on the chromatograph were further analysed western blotting. B) 10µl of the fractions A8-A10 were mixed with 10µl of laemmli buffer and samples separated by SDS-PAGE (12.5% acrylamide) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and probed with an anti-His antibody. The western blot shows successful production of hHHB – His (expected size 45kDa).
