Construction of the eukaryotic expression plasmid containing lvgA gene flanked with CpG motifs of Legionella pneumophila and its expression in NIH3T3 cells

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid containing IvgA gene flanked with CpG motifs of Legionella pneumophila for its expression in NDOT3 cells. Methods IvgA gene flanked with CpG motifs of Legionella pneumophila was amplified by PCR. The PCR products was inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3. 1/myc-his (+) to construct the recombinant plasmid pclvgA/CpG, which was subsequently transfected into NIH3T3 cells via lipofection. Immunofluorescence analysis was carried out to detect the transient expression of the plasmid in the cells. Results Sequence analysis showed that the recombinant plasmid pclvgA/CpG contained the lvgA/CpG fragment with a length of 657 bp, encoding a protein of 27.7 Ku. Immunofluorescence analysis identified the transient expression of the recombinant plasmid pclvgA/CpG in NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion The IvgA gene flanked with CpG motifs of Legionella pneumophila has been constructed successfully, and the transient expression of the recombinant plasmid pclvgA/CpG can be detected in NIH3T3 cells.
