目的:制备适当粒径的壳聚糖纳米粒,并连接质粒,评价该壳聚糖纳米粒对该质粒的结合能力与保护作用,为进一步研究重组纳米疫苗的免疫效果提供基础。方法:采用离子交联法制备成pIRES-TH-FL-壳聚糖纳米粒复合物,用紫外分光光度计检测纳米颗粒对质粒的包埋率;经琼脂糖凝胶电泳分析纳米载体与质粒的结合能力及对该质粒的保护作用;通过喷金电镜观察其大小形态;另用zata电位仪测定粒径和zeta电位;最后用Western blot实验鉴定其在真核细胞中的表达情况。结果:紫外分光光度计检测到该壳聚糖纳米质粒的包埋率为99.28%,琼脂糖凝胶电泳结果显示壳聚糖纳米粒能保护该质粒免受DNaseⅠ的降解。制得的壳聚糖纳米质粒粒径为300 nm左右,zeta电位为32.4 mV。Western blot证实,该纳米质粒能转染293T细胞并表达目的融合蛋白。结论:本实验成功制备了粒径适当且分布均匀的壳聚糖纳米质粒,并能够在体外实现有效表达。
