Immunodetection and purification of recombinant human heat shock protein 47

Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is a protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum, with interaction specific to its substrate namely collagen. Recombinant human HSP47 gene (hhsp47) was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) and grown in Luria-Bertani (LB) growth medium. Protein expression was carried...
