Bacteria flagellins play an important role during infection and induction of the host immune response. Thus, flagellin proteins are an ideal target for vaccines. We amplified the complete flagellin subunit gene （tTaA） from V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802. We then cloned and expressed the gene into Escherichia coli BL21 （DE3） cells. The gene coded for a protein that was 62.78 kDa. We purified and characterized the protein using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and Anti-His antibody Western blotting, respectively. Our results provide a basis for further studies into the utility of the FlaA protein as a vaccine candidate against infection by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In addition, the purified FlaA protein can he used for further functional and structural studies.展开更多

After digestion with restriction endonuclease, the target fragment was subcloned into the multi-clone sites of the eukaryotic vector. The constructed vector was verified by enzyme digestion and sequencing,and the product expressed was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence methods.RESULTS: The full-length mCD40L-cDNA was successfully cloned into the eukaryotic vector through electrophoresis,and mCD40L gene was integrated into the genome of infected H22 cells by RT-PCR. Murine CD40L antigen molecule was observed in the plasma of mCD40L-H22 by indirect immuno-fluorescence staining.CONCLUSION: The recombined mCD40L eukaryotic expression vector can be expressed in H22 cell line. It providesexperimental data for gene therapy and target therapy ofhepatocellular carcinoma.展开更多
