In this study, two kinds of plasmids have been used, one can express the HIV-1 main structure proteins, Gagpol and Env, and the other contains an antibiotic gene. The two kinds of plasmids have been cotransfected into 293 cells. A stable cell line that can express Gagpol and Env proteins efficiently and lastingly has been screened. It has been confirmed that Gagpol and Env proteins in the cell culture supernatant can be self-assembled into virus-like particles. The authors have detected the secretion of VLPs in the cell medium, defined the peak of the secretion, and followed and monitored the stability of expression.展开更多
