Construction and identification of lentiviral vector over-expressing Staphyloco-ccus aureus enterotoxin C3 / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To construct the lentiviral vector over-expressing Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin C3 and detect the expression of target gene in vitro.Methods:SEC3 gene were amplificatied by polymerase chain rcaction( PCR).The GV365 lentiviral vectors were digested by AgeⅠenzyme,which was linked to SEC3 gene and then constructed the GV365-SEC3 lentiviral vetor.Positive clones of vectors were identificd by PCR.Then the positive lentiviral vectors were transfected into 293T cells for lentivirus package.The expression of lentiviral vectors was tested by observating cell fluorescence and Western blot.The virus titer was determined by HIV-1 p24 ELISA.Results: SEC3 gene was amplified and successfully bound to the GV365 lentivirus vectors.The sequences of the recombinant plasmid were confirmed correct by PCR and DNA scqucncing.A large mass of green fluorescent cells were observed after transfecting.And the resulting size of 29 kD protein band of protein electrophoresis, which was consistent with the target gene protein.Viral vector titer was 5×108 TU/ml by ELISA detection.Conclusion: Lentiviral vector over-expressing Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin C3 was successfully constructed,laid the foundation of observing its effect and mechanism against to tumor in vivo and in vitro for later research.
