目的构建和表达人类疱疹病毒8型(HHV-8)K8.1基因真核表达载体。方法聚合酶链反应(PCR)法从HHV名感染细胞BCBL-1细胞总DNA中扩增HHV名K8.1全长基因;克隆入真核表达载体pcDNA3.1(+);将重组K8.1+pcDNA3.1真核表达载体转染人胚肾细胞293细胞,提取总RNA,反转录PCR(RT-PCR)检测重组K8.1+pcDNA3.1真核表达载体在293细胞中的mRNA。结果经测序,克隆的K8.1基因序列与GenBank中登记的K8.1基因100%同源;RT-PCR法检测在约370bp位置出现条带,与预期的369bp大小一致。结论HHV-8K8.1基因真核表达载体构建成功,并可在293细胞中表达。
Objective To construct the recombinant of eukaryotic expression vector containing K8.1 gene from human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and explore its expression in eukaryotie cell. Methods The full-length gene (HHV-8 K8.1 ) was amplified from HHV-8 infected BCBL-1 cells with polymerase chain reaction(PCR). K8.1 DNA fragments were cloned into eukaryotic vector[ peDNA3.1 ( + ) vector]. 293 cell was transfected with recombinant of K8.1 and pcDNA3.1 ( + ) vector, and total RNA was extracted, mRNA of the recombinant of K8.1 and pcDNA3.1 ( + ) vector in 293 cell was determined by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results The sequence of cloned K8.1 gene was 100% homology with K8.1 gene registered in GenBank. A band about 370 bp as expecting(369 bp) was visible when total RNA of 293 cells was detected with RT-PCR. Conclusion The eukaryotic expression vector of HHV-8 K8.1 has been constructed, and can be expressed in 293 cell.
