1.3拷贝C基因型HBV转基因小鼠的制备及检测

Preparation and identification of 1.3 copies C-type HBV transgenic mice

目的制备1.3拷贝C基因型HBV转基因小鼠,为乙肝的防治提供较好的动物模型。方法采用受精卵显微注射法,制备1.3拷贝C基因型HBV转基因小鼠;采用PCR、ELISA、荧光定量PCR和免疫组化方法检测HBV基因在转基因小鼠体内的整合、复制和表达情况。结果共注射受精卵2282枚,成活2024枚,注射成活率88.7%。共移植假孕雌鼠72只,59只怀孕,假孕雌鼠妊娠率81.9%。共产下F0代小鼠185只,PCR检测共有19只整合阳性,阳性率10.3%。血清荧光定量PCR结果显示,其中6只小鼠有HBV DNA复制,拷贝数为102~103拷贝/ml;经传代产下F1代小鼠96只,PCR检测HBV DNA阳性33只,阳性率34.4%。血清荧光定量PCR结果显示,其中10只小鼠有HBV DNA复制,拷贝数为102~103拷贝/ml;F0代和F1代小鼠随机分别各取3只进行肝脏和肾脏HBsAg免疫组化检测结果均为阳性,且肾脏表达高于肝脏。结论 1.3拷贝C基因可以在上述制备成功的C型HBV转基因小鼠体内复制和表达,并且可以遗传给下一代。

Objective To prepare 1.3 copies C-type HBV transgenic mice for providing a better model for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B.Methods The HBV transgenic mice were generated by microinjection of 1.3 copies C-type HBV genome into the pronucleus of FVB /N zygotes.PCR,ELISA,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the integration,replication and expression of HBV gene in the transgenic mice.Results Tow thousand two hundred and eighty-two fertilized eggs were injected and a total of 2024 survived.The survival rate of injection was 88.7%.The injected eggs were transplanted into 72 pseudo pregnant female mice,among which 59 became pregnant.The pregnancy rate was 81.9%.One hundred and eighty-five F0 offsprings were produced with 19 positive mice as detected by PCR,and the positive rate was 10.3%.RT-PCR revealed that HBV DNA replication of 102-103 copies/ml existed in serum of 6 mice.Ninety-six F1 offsprings were produced,of which 33 were positive for HBV DNA replication as detected by PCR,the positive rate was 34.4%.RT-PCR showed that HBV DNA replication was observed in 10 mice with 102-103 copies/ml.Three mice were randomly chosen from each of F0 and F1 generations to detect the HBsAg expression in livers and kidneys by immunohistochemistry.The results showed that HBsAg expressed in both livers and kidneys,and it was stronger in kidneys than in livers.Conclusion The 1.3 copies C-type HBV gene can not only replicate and express in the transgenic mice produced,but it also can be transmitted to the next generation of these mice.
