RESUMO
Objective To construct a recombinant human adenovirus type 3 ( HAd3 ) vector ex-pressing one major epitope of dengue virus type 1.Methods The gene encoding the envelope protein (304-314 aa) of dengue virus type 1 was inserted into the hypervariable region 1 ( HVR1 ) of HAd3 hexon by using overlap PCR.The recombinant gene was cloned into the shuttle plasmid, then linearized with AsisⅠrestriction enzyme and co-transformed into Escherichia coli BJ5183 strains with the digested backbone plas-mid for homologous recombination.The recombinant plasmid pBRAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 was transfected into AD293 cells to rescue recombinant adenovirus strains (rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1).ELISA and Western blot as-say were performed to evaluate the humoral responses induced in BALB/c mice after the immunization with rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 strains.Results The recombinant adenovirus strains were successfully rescued. ELISA and Western blot assay showed that the antibodies in serum sample could recognize dengue virus type 1 strains.Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus strains expressing the epitope of dengue virus type 1 were successfully constructed.This study provided evidence for the development of multivalent vaccines against dengue virus.
RESUMO
Medical cell biology is a very important course for medical international students. It is a new challenge for medical colleges to carry out the international students curricula in English. In order to successfully accomplish the teaching of cell biology course ,the teachers in Teaching and Research Section of Medical Cell Biology and Genetics in Guangzhou Medical University made the following preparation before class:choosing or compiling English teaching material,writing English teaching plan,making English PPT and trial teaching before lass. Meanwhile,they improved the teaching links in theoretical teaching and experimental teaching and emphasized on students' feed-back,which provided references for teaching of medical cell biology course.
