摘要
Objective: To construct eukaryotic expression vector containing B7-1/GFP geneand study its expression in osteosarcoma cell line LM8. Methods: By using gene cloning technique, eukaxyotic expression vector pEGFP-C1 was used to construct the murine B7-1 recombinant plasmid (pEGFP-C1/B7). Recombinant plasmid was transfected into LM8 cells with liposome and was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and DNA sequencing. The expression of the fusion protein was detected using fluorescence microscope and Western blot analysis. Results: The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C1/B7 was successfully constructed, which was confirmed by DNA sequencing, RT-PGR and restriction enzymes analysis. The green fluorescent protein could be detected in the transfected LM8 with fluorescence microscope. The expected B7-1 and green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Conclusion: The eukaryotic expression vector containing B7-1/GFP gene was constructed successfully, and it could be expressed in LM8 after transfection.
