    Abstract: A hybrid polypeptide can be used to prepare a Met-rich protein includes: a histidine tag region; a solubility promoter region adjacent to the histidine tag region; a methionine-rich region, wherein the solubility promoter region is between the histidine tag and the methionine-rich region; and at least one cleavage site between the solubility promoter region and the methionine-rich region, such that cleavage produces a methionine-rich polypeptide. A method of producing a MetO-rich polypeptide includes: cleaving the Met-rich region from the hybrid polypeptide to produce the Met-rich polypeptide; and oxidizing a plurality of methionine residues in the Met-rich polypeptide to form the MetO-rich polypeptide. A method of immunizing a subject against MetO-containing proteins can use the MetO-rich polypeptides to produce anti-MetO antibodies.
