The 499 survival embryos after microinjection were then transferred into pseudopregnant recipient mice and 216 F 0 pups were born. The analysis of PCR and Southern blot hybridization showed that, of the 216, 6 (2 females and 4 males) were integrated with foreign DNA in their genomes, giving an integration frequency of 3% (6/216). Two F\-0 female transgenic mice could express hFⅨ protein in their milk and the content was over 100 ng/mL as measured with ELISA. The biological activities of hFⅨ in the milk of two F\-0 mice were 44 67% and 79 43%, respectively.展开更多

However, this system is costly, laborious and tim-cosuming. In 1994,Johanna et al. reported that secretion of a foreign protein, human growth hormone (hGH),in milk had been achieved after direct introduction of the cDNA into the mammary gland ofgoats by replication-defective retroviral vector. In that work, the in vivo expression of展开更多

These retroviral vectors were transfected into an amphotropic packaging cell line, PA317 cells, by electroporation, and a human iibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080 cells, was used to assay the factor Ⅸ-virus titers of these four virus-producing PA317 cells, which ranged from 2×10~4 to 5×10~5 cfu/ml. The factor Ⅸ proteins produced by bulk population of four virus-producing PA317 cells were determined by ELISA. Results showed that LTR promoter directed the highest production of factor Ⅸ at the rate of 584 rig/10~6 cells/24h, while SV40 early promoter and MT promoter directed about 10 and 20 times less production of factor Ⅸ than LTR promoter. The highest expressed retroviral vector XL-Ⅸ was used to infect a line of展开更多

In addition to the previously constructed retroviral vectors XLIX, LNCIX and GINaCIX, GlNaMCIX with hFIX driven by muscle creatine kinase (MCK) enhancer and human cytomegalovirus (CMV) was constructed, based on the retroviral vector GINa. These four retroviral vectors were used to transduce mouse my-oblasts C2C12. With ELISA assays, it has been found that the expression levels of human clotting factor IX detected in those transduced C2C12 cells are GlNaMCIX】GlNaCIX】 LNCIX】XLIX. Mixed colonal cells transduced with GlNaMCIX expressed hFIX protein at the level of 640 ng/106 cell every 24 h. The modified C2C12 cells transduced with GlNaMCIX were implanted into skeletal muscle of the hindlegs of C3H mice; a stable expression of hFIX was detected and lasted for 35 d, with a maximum level of 206 ng/mL plasma. The regulation of hFIX cDNA expression in myoblasts was discussed and it was strongly展开更多

Factor Ⅸ is synthesized in liver hepatocytes where it undergoes complex vitamin K-dependent post-translational modifications which are essential for the activation of factor Ⅸ. Recently, several groups have cloned factor Ⅸ cDNA and reported that, in the presence of vitamin K, active factor Ⅸ could be secreted in human and mouse fibroblasts,展开更多

Infected fibroblasts capable of synthesizing and secreting high levels of biologically active human factor Ⅸ protein were selected and embedded in a collagen matrix. The latter was surgically implanted into rabbits as autografts or allografts. Human factor Ⅸ protein was detected in the plasma of all the grafted rabbits, and its expression has been maintained for more than 10 months at the time of writing. In addition, we have improved and simplified the method of implantation from surgically grafting the tissue-like matrix to the injection of the infected cell-collagen mixture subcutaneously. Using the latter method, human factor Ⅸ in rabbits injected with RSF-N2CMVIX reached a peak of 480 ng/ml plasma, and its expression has continued for展开更多

The expressional frame of pCMVⅨ was examined by PCR and Southern blotting among 41 progenies. There were 2 (4%) mice being integrated with hFⅨ gene into chromosomes. 4.6 ng/mL of hFⅨ protein was expressed in plasma of one mouse, which was tested by ELISA. We demonstrated that building of transgenic animals by spermatogonial stem cells is an efficient method. Meanwhile, it has also been proved to be an alternative choice for mammary gland bioreactor.展开更多

Largequantity of recombinant adeno-associated viral particles (rAAV/ hFⅨ) was prepared by the HSV/AAV hybrid helper virus method. Southern dot blot assay and QC-PCR indicated that the titer of the virus was 3.6×1012 v.g./mL. It demonstrated that this method can effectively overcome the hurdles of mass production of AAV vector. Followed by anintramuscular injection of viral vectors (7.5×1011 v.g./mouse) in the quadriceps femoris, an elevation of human Factor Ⅸexpression in the plasma of hemophilia B mice was detected (387 ng/mL) and persisted more than 12 weeks. The level of anti-virus antibody in plasma aligned with the Factor Ⅸexpression curve. The QC-PCR method is easier and moreaccurate than traditional dot hybridization fordetermination of the titer of recombinant adeno-associated virus. Moreover, there are no HSV particles existing inproduced AAV assayed by RT-PCR. AAV is the only virus that has been amplified from AAV-injected muscle by PCR.展开更多
