Construction and identification of the recombinant pCD-Eg95 plasmid of Echinococcus granulosus / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To construct and identify the recombinant pCD-Eg95 plasmid of Echinococcus granulosus. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from hydatid cyst protoscoleces shattered by supersound. The Eg95 coding gene was amplified by RT-PCR, and then was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3.1 to construct the recombinant pCD-Eg95 plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was electroporated into E. coliBL21(DE3) strain. Results: The 471 bp Eg95 coding gene was successfully amplified, and the recombinant pCD-Eg95 plasmid was successfully constructed, which was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion and PCR. Conclusion: The results could provide the basis for the further research of the nucleic acid vaccine of Echinococcus granulosus.
