Methods Total RNA was extracted from the whole body of Psilgramma menephorn with Trizol and mRNA was purified with Oligo (dT) Spin-Column. And dscDNA was synthesized through reverse transcription. After blunting, the cDNA fragments were ligated with EcoRⅠ adapters. Then the cDNAs were digested by XhoⅠ, and the fragments less than 400 bp were removed by using GHROMA SPIN-400 column. The remaining fragments longer than 400 bp were ligated with Uni-ZAP XR vector. The recombinants were packaged in vitro and a small portion of the packaged phage was used to infect E.coli XL1-Blue MRF′ for titration. The recombinants were examined by color selection. The size of cDNA inserts and the diversity of library were analyzed by PCR. The library was screened using SPT positive sera from patients with Psilgramma menephorn allergy repeatedly. Results The cDNA expression library consisting of a 5×105 recombinant bacteriophages was constructed with the recombinant ratio of 67%. The average length of recombinant exogenous inserts was about 1.49 kb. Five positive cDNA clones were obtained. Conclusion The constructed cDNA expression library shows appropriate contents and size of cDNA fragments and the related genes of Psilgramma menephorn major allergens were harbored successfully, which lays the foundation for the positive clone identification and further analysis.展开更多
