Objective: To construct recombinant vector pcDNA3 functioning as a eukaryotic expression vector and carrying the CD41 -42 mutation responsible for human ~ -thalassemia. The locus control region (LCR), which consisting of HS2, HS3, and the CD4I -42 mutation -containing fragment were used as the target fragments, respectively. This work provides the foundation for the building of ccll model and a transgenic mouse model for the gene therapy of human [3 -thalassemia. Methods: DNA extraction was performed in eight 13 -thalassemia patients who were confirmed to carry the homozygons CD4I -42 mutation. The specific primers were designed for PCR am- plification of 13- globin gene LCR and CD41 -4 mutation- containing fragment. The amplified products were directionally inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1. The positive recombinant vector was screened by restriction enzyme analysis and PCR identification. Results: Specific LCR and CD41 -42 mutation - containing fragment were amplified, with the length of approximately 5.5 kb and 2. 1 kb respectively. Restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing results indicated that the recombinant vector contained the 13 - globin gene LCR and CD41 -42 mutation -containing fragment, which were cloned successfully at the desired position. Conclusion: The recombi- nant vector carrying human [3 -globin gene LCR and CD41 -42 mutation- containing fragment is successfully constructed.
