To develop DNA vaccine for Legionella pneumophila.
PAL gene of Legionella pneumophila was amplified with PCR. The amplified DNA was ligated to pcDNA3.1(+) vector. The recombinant plasmid, which was identified by restriction analysis, PCR and sequence analysis, was named pcDNA3.1-PAL. The NIH3T3 cells were transfected with the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-PAL by Lipofection. Transient and stable expression products of the PAL gene were detected by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR.
The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-PAL expressed PAL protein in the eukaryotic cell NIH3T3.
This study has built a foundation for the development of PAL gene DNA vaccine for Legionella pneumophila.
研发嗜肺军团菌DNA疫苗。
采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增嗜肺军团菌的PAL基因。将扩增的DNA连接到pcDNA3.1(+)载体上。经限制性酶切分析、PCR及序列分析鉴定后的重组质粒命名为pcDNA3.1-PAL。采用脂质体转染法将重组质粒pcDNA3.1-PAL转染至NIH3T3细胞。通过免疫荧光和逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测PAL基因的瞬时和稳定表达产物。
重组质粒pcDNA3.1-PAL在真核细胞NIH3T3中表达PAL蛋白。
本研究为嗜肺军团菌PAL基因DNA疫苗的研发奠定了基础。
