[ Method] Leukocytes separated from canine whole blood were stimulated by concanavalin for 20 h, and then total RNA was extracted. According to the sequence of canine IL-2 gene published in the GenBank, a pair of primers was designed. After PCR am- plificetion, the target fragment was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a. The recombinants were transformed into the host bacteria BL21. After IPTG induction, the expression products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. [ Result] A 500 bp band with the expected size appeared in the RT-PCR products. After the pMD18-T-IL2 was identified by double digestion, an approximately 500 bp fragment was produced, which indicated successful cloning of the gene. After the pET-28a-lL2 was identified by restriction enzyme digestion and PCR, a 500 bp fragment was produced, which indicated successful construction of the expression vector. As revealed by the SDS-PAGE analysis, a protein band with molecular weight of about 20 kDa appeared. [ Conclusion] The canine IL-2 gene was cloned and expressed.展开更多

[ Method ] RT-PCR amplification was used to obtain H and F protein genes; TA cloning and subclonlng techniques were used to construct the cloning plasmids（pMD-18T-H and pMD-18T-F） and recombinant expression plasmids（pET28a-H and pET28a-F） ; SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting were adopted to verify whether the target proteins were successfully expressed. [ Result] The recombinant expression plasmids pET28a-H and pET28a-F containing H and F protein genes of Canine distemper virus isolated from a mink were successfully constructed, and both the expressed H and F proteins with respectively relative molecular mass of 31 400 and 38 200 produced positive reac- tion with the CDV standard positive serum. [ Conclusion] The H and F proteins expressed in prokaryotic cells were the same with the natural ones in terms of reac- togenicity, which can be utilized for diagnosis of a CDV＇s infection or for an epidemiological investigation. Meanwhile, they also provide a basis for developing ge- netically engineered subunit vaccines.展开更多

This study aimed to investigate the influences of HBV genotypes on the anti-viral therapeutic efficacy of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in chronic hepatitis B patients, and to determine the relationship between HBV genotypes and levels of viral replication or gene variations. METHODS: The chronic hepatitis B patients who were treated with IFN-alpha were selected randomly. Anti-viral therapeutic efficacy was monitored in these patients. The HBV genotypes were detected by PCR microplate hybridization ELISA. The levels of serum HBV-DNA were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR. HBV gene variation at pre-C and basic core promoter (BCP) regions were assayed by gene chip technology. RESULTS: Genotypes B and C were predominant in 94 chronic hepatitis B patients. A, E and F genotypes were not found in these patients. The HBV-DNA levels of genotype C and mixed genotypes were significantly higher than those of genotype B. The response to IFN-alpha in patients with genotype B was markedly better than in those with genotypes C and D, and the complete response to IFN-alpha was only observed in genotype B. The response to IFN-alpha in patients with mixed genotypes was the least sensitive. The negative transition of HBeAg was correlated with variations in the HBV pre-C and BCP regions in patients with partial or no response to IFN-alpha. The variation rates of HBV pre-C and BCP regions were clearly higher in genotype C than in genotype B. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that HBV genotype is correlated with the serum levels of HBV-DNA, HBV gene variations and therapeutic efficacy of IFN-alpha. The regular detection of HBV genotypes in the clinic will be of benefit for disease prognosis and planning of anti-viral therapeutic strategies.展开更多
