携带绿色荧光蛋白基因的逆转录病毒载体的构建及其介导的T细胞基因转移研究

Construction of the Retroviral Vector Carrying the Green Fluorescent Protein Gene and Its Application in Mediating Gene Transfer into T Cells

为了构建含绿色荧光蛋白(greenfluorescentprotein,GFP)基因的逆转录病毒载体和研究逆转录病毒对T细胞的感染能力,利用亚克隆技术将磷酸甘油酸激酶启动子(phosphoglyceratekinasepromoter,PGK)基因和GFP全长cDNA插入逆转录病毒载体pLXSN,采用磷酸钙沉淀法将重组载体转染PA317包装细胞,G418筛选出抗性克隆,收集滴度最高的病毒上清感染NIH3T3和T细胞,在倒置荧光显微镜下观察GFP表达情况。结果表明;重组逆转录病毒载体转染PA317包装细胞后,可在荧光显微镜下观察到GFP的表达。G418筛选后,含GFP的逆转录病毒可感染原代培养的T细胞。结论:逆转录病毒载体能够快速、稳定地将外源基因转移至T细胞,可作为介导T细胞基因转移的重要工具。

To construct retroviral vector carrying green fluorescent protein （GFP）gene, and determine whether T cells can be infected by retrovirus, the phosphoglycerate kinase （PGK） promoter gene and GFP full-length cDNA were subcloned into the retroviral vector pLXSN. The recombinant vector was transfected into PA317 packaging cells by DNA-calcium phosphate coprecipitation. The G418 resistant clones were selected, then NIH3＂I3 cells and T cells were infected by the culture supematant of the retrovirus containing GFP. The results showed that GFP expression in packaging cell line PA317 was detectable under fluorescence microscope, which demonstrated that the GFP retrovirus were able to infect T cells. It is concluded the retrovirus vectors can introduce a foreign gene into T cells efficiently and can be used as important tools to deliver gene into T cells.
