Construction of fusion expression vector AR-GFP and its expression in Hek293 cells / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM:To construct a hAR and GFP fusion gene vector and to observe the AR-GFP gene expression in Hek293 cells. METHODS: A recombined vector pcDNA3.1/myc-HisA-AR-GFP (pH-AG) was constructed by gene engineering technique. The recombined vector was transfected into Hek293 cells using calcium phosphate. RESULTS: AR-GFP fusion protein was successfully expressed in Hek293 cells without biologic activity, which was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy and Western blotting. CONCLUSION: The Hek293 cells transfected by AR-GFP fusion gene can express its protein successfully. However, it is not a cellular model for ARI screening.
