To construct a eukaryotic expression vector encoding human nasopharyngeal carcinoma anti-idiotype antibody single chain fragment (ScFv) gene G22, and to identify its expression in rectal cancer cells (CMT-93).
The G22 gene was ligated into the sites of EcoRI and NotI of eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+). After the identification and DNA sequencing, the recombinant plasmid pc DNA3.1(+)-G22 was stably transfected into CMT-93 cells, and the expression of G22 was detected by Western blot, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining.
Restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing showed that the recombinant plasmid contained the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma anti-idiotype antibody ScFv gene G22. Transfection experiment verified that G22 gene could be expressed in CMT-93 cells in the right way.
The eukaryotic expression vector containing the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma anti-idiotype antibody ScFv gene G22 is successfully constructed and expressed, which is the basis for further study of its DNA vaccine.
