Construction of mammalian cell expression vector of human CD154 gene from active peripheral blood mononuclear cell and analysis of its sequence / 免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective　To obtain mammalian cell expression vector of human CD154 gene. Methods　A 820 bp cDNA fragment was amplified by RT-PCR method from total RNA of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell（PBMC） activated with 10 ng／mL PMA and 1 μg／mL PHA for 8 hours. The fragment was cloned into pcDNA3.1（＋） plasmids.The cloned insert was identified by double digestion of the recombinant plasmid with restriction enzymes BamH Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ and sequenced by Sangers-dideory-mediated chain termination. Results　This cDNA fragment included 820 bp entire coding region and a part of the 3 non-coding region. The recombinant mammalian cell expression vector of pcDNA3.1（＋）／hCD154 was constructed， the sequence of the insert was identical to the published sequence encoding human CD154 antigen. Conclusion　The recombinant mammalian cell expression vector of pcDNA3.1（＋）／hCD154 was successfully constructed.
