To construct Giardia canis virus (GCV) transfection vector.
According to transcriptional start site, replication origin and packaging site of GCV genome (DQ238861), a system was developed for the expression of a foreign gene in this organism by flanking the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene with the fragments of GCV positive-strand RNA. The transcript of the construct was synthesized in vitro with T7 RNA polymerase and used to transfect GCV-infected trophozoites by electroporation.
The recombinant plasmid pGCV634/GFP/GCV2174 was constructed. The expression of green fluorescent protein mediated by GCV transfection vector in Giardia canis peaked at 1 d after electroporation (A490=1.8), and slowly decreased until 14 d post-transfection.
The engineered GCV vector can be successfully used to introduce and efficiently express a heterologous gene in the eukaryotic microorganism.
构建犬贾第虫病毒（GCV）转染载体。
根据GCV基因组（DQ238861）的转录起始位点、复制起点和包装位点，开发了一种通过用GCV正链RNA片段侧翼连接绿色荧光蛋白（GFP）基因，在该生物体中表达外源基因的系统。用T7 RNA聚合酶体外合成构建体的转录本，并通过电穿孔用于转染GCV感染的滋养体。
构建了重组质粒pGCV634/GFP/GCV2174。GCV转染载体介导的绿色荧光蛋白在犬贾第虫中的表达在电穿孔后1天达到峰值（A490 = 1.8），并在转染后14天缓慢下降。
工程化的GCV载体可成功用于在真核微生物中导入并高效表达异源基因。
