Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the coding sequences of P30 gene were amplified from a Chinese strain of T. gondii, The amplified gene fragment and plasmid pB220 were digested with EcoRI and BamHI and then ligated. The inserted gene fragment was sequenced by the chain termination method, the reading reveals that nucleotide sequence determined was the same as the P30 sequecne of RH strain pubilished by Burg (1988), except that one base was changed. The recombinant plasmid containing P30 gene was transformed to E. coli DH5α.After temperature inducing culture, the total cellular proteins were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The results show that the p30 gene cloned into the plasmid could express in E. coli, and the expression product had immunogenicity.展开更多

Recombinant bacmid bHIV24 was obtained by transposing a mini-att Tn7 element from the recombinant pFHIV24 to the mini-att Tn7 attachment site on the bacmid by Tn7 transposition functions provided by the helper plasmid. Minipreparation of recombinant bacmid DNA was transfected intoSpodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells to get the recombinant virus. Fresh insect Sf9 cells were infected with the recombinant virus containing p24 to express the target protein. The target protein expressed was analyzed on a 15% polyacrylamide gels and then used as antigen to check HIV-1 positive serum by ELISA. Our positive result shows that the expressed p24 protein could be used as standard antigen for HIV-1 diagnosis by ELISA and other reliable diagnostic methods of HIV-1 infection.展开更多

The PCNA expression in transferred cells was dynamically detected by immunofluo- rescence and RT- PCR techniques. Changes of proliferation activities of cancer cells were assayed by MTT colorim etric and cloning formation m ethods.In the experiment,the antisense eukaryotic vector was successfully constructed and nam ed as p L APSN.After transfection with it for1- 7 days,PCNA protein and m RNA levels in cancer cells were blocked by16 .74 % - 84 .2 1% (P< 0 .0 5 ) and2 3.2 7% - 86 .15 % (P<0 .0 5 ) respectively.The proliferation activities of transferred cells were inhibited by 2 7.91% - 6 2 .0 7% (P<0 .0 1) ,with cloning formation abilities being de- creased by 5 0 .81% (P<0 .0 1) . Itwas concluded that the in vitro proliferation activities of cancer cells could be effectively inhibited by blocking PCNA expression with antisense technique,which could serve as an ideal strategy for gene therapy of bladder cancer.展开更多

The expression library allowed recombinant proteins made in bacteria to be captured by macrophages for presentation to T cells restricted to major histompatibility complex class n. A conserved 36-kilodalton member of the tryptophanaspartic acid repeat family of proteins was identified that was expressed in both stages of the parasite life cycle. A 24-kilodalton portion of this antigen protected susceptible mice when administered as a vaccine with interleukin-12before injection.展开更多

METHODS: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) preC/C gene for the 25 kD HBeAg precursor was cloned into the expression vector pQE30 and the 25 kD HBeAg precursor was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and purified. Its antigenicity for 21 kD mature HBeAg was tested by western blot analysis. RESULTS: Cloned fragments in the expression vector were sequenced and verified to be homogeneous with that of HBV (ayw subtype). Expression of the HBeAg precursor in E. coli under the transcriptional regulation of T5 promoter yielded a soluble cytosolic protein with an apparent molecular mass of 25 kD. Recombinant HBeAg precursor exhibited identical potencies with 21 kD mature HBeAg that reacted with anti-HBeAg antibodies. The purification rate of the expressed HBeAg precursor was up to 89.6% and the yield of purified HBeAg precursor from this procedure was 2.4 mg/L. CONCLUSION: 25 kD HBeAg precursor exhibited biological activity and might play an important role in pathopoiesis of hepatitis B.展开更多
