0.05).Thirty-four cases of newly diagnosed children with CR rate was 88.2% (30 cases).Which the expression of PRAME gene,WT1 gene were both positive and negative groups of children with CR rates were 62.5% and 100.0%,there was no significant difference between the 2 groups(P

Cloning of human preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma gene and its expression in E.coli / 医学研究生学报

Objective: To clone and express the preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) gene in E.coli. Methods: The cDNA encoding human PRAME gene was extracted from human AML cell line HL-60 and amplified by RT-PCR, then the PRAME gene was inserted into plasmid PGEM-T-easy. After sequenced, it was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-2 to construct a clone with high level expression and the recombinant plasmid was cloned in E.coli. Results:The protein product reached the highest level at 5 h after IPTG induction. Conclusion: Since PRAME is only expressed at low levels in a few normal tissues and encodes an antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes, while expressed at high levels in patients with leukemia, it might be a new targeting candidate for tumor immunotherapy.
