轮状病毒抗原蛋白G3VP7基因在花生中遗传转化的研究

为提高外源蛋白的表达量和简化分离纯化过程,使用植物油体表达载体,以花生子叶节为转化受体,通过农杆菌介导将轮状病毒抗原蛋白G3VP7基因开展遗传转化的研究。从转化植株中随机选取11株表现Kan抗性植株进行PCR检测,结果有6株能扩增出特异性条带,阳性率为54.5%。对转基因植株进一步进行PCR-Southern杂交分析,发现转基因植株中有6株PCR反应呈阳性,其中有3株PCR-Southern杂交有特异性目标带出现。结果表明,外源基因已经整合到了花生基因组上。该研究为以植物为载体生产廉价、高效的植物口服疫苗奠定了基础。

Study on genetic transformation of antigen G3VP7 gene of human rotavirus in peanut

In order to increase the expression level of target gene and to simplify the purifying process of separation and purification, we performed the transgenetic research of antigen VP7 gene into peanut via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The plant binary expression vector is pBOG3VP7 harboring fusion gene oleosin-vp7, which is promoted by ole-promoter. Cotyledon nodes were used as transformation recipients. Transformed individuals were obtained through selection on medium containing 125 mg L-1 Kan. Integration of transgenes was assessed by PCR amplification and PCR-Southern blot hybridization. Taking pBOG3VP7 plasmid as positive control, non-transformed peanut as negative control. 6 plants among 11 plants grown up through seletion medium were detected by PCR and the rate of positive plants is 54.5%. PCR positive plants were further analysed by PCR-Southern blot hybridization. The results showed that 3 plants have DNA bloting bands. The results also showed that the foreign gene was integrated into genome of transformed peanuts. Elevated expression of rotavirus VP7 antigen in transgenic peanuts was a critical factor in the development of efficient and cheap plant oral vaccine.
