Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In autoimmune neuropsychiatric diseases, neurotransmitter receptors and ionic channels are known to be targeted by autoantibodies that destruct neural tissues. In an attempt to establish a detection systems for autoantibodies, we produced these proteins in Escherichia coli. Of several proteins tried, two subunits for the glutamate receptor, GluN1-1 and GRIA2, and a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, nAchR-alpha7 were successfully produced in large amount. We are now trying to find out media to dissolve these recombinant proteins and optimal conditions to integrate them into nanofibers.
