Conglutinin, a soluble pattern recognition receptor of innate immune system in bovines is known for its potential defensive activity against microorganisms either by direct agglutination in the presence of calcium or by acting as opsonin. In the present study, sheep (Ovis aries) conglutinin encoding neck and carbohydrate recognition domain (rSCGN) was expressed in theE coliBL21 expression host. The recombinant conglutinin revealed molecular weight of 27 kDa in SDS PAGE and also in western blotting using antibuffalo conglutinin polyclonal serum. The protein was characterized further for its functional activity in various assays. In ELISA based sugar and LPS binding assay, the rSCGN revealed its high binding activity toward N-acetyl glucosamine andE. coliLPS in the presence and the absence of calcium ions, respectively. Hemagglutination of chicken red blood cells caused by Newcastle disease virus was not inhibited in the presence of rSCGN as it lacked complete collagenous region present in the native protein. In virus neutralization test, the recombinant protein was found to reduce multiplication of bovine herpes virus-1 propagated in MDBK cells. This prokaryotically expressed 27 kDa recombinant sheep conglutinin can serve as antigen in future studies to develop sandwich ELISA for assessing the level of native conglutinin in sheep serum.
