Sequences encoding full-length EDC-3, CGH-1 and a 37 kDa fragments of EDC-4 (sequence: NAEDSGDDLF-(314 amino acids)- QKCLVSLVSQ) were individually cloned into pSMT3 plasmid (N-terminal 6XHis-SUMO). Each construct was expressed in and pu- rified from BL21(DE3) cells. Two mg of proteins were used in four rounds of rabbit injection (Capralogics, Cambridge Massachusetts) and a total of three bleeds were collected and characterized.
