Construction and expression of eukaryotic expression plasmid vector of mice CTLA4-Fc fusion gene

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression plasmid of mice cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen4 ( CTLA4) Fc fusion gene, and detect its expression in the cells of 293T, and lay the foundation for the subsequent study of the antitumor mechanism of CTLA4-Fc in mice. Methods Gene-specific primers which were used as bridge and template for each other were designed using Gene Runner software. The CTLA4 fusion gene fragment was amplified by overlap PCR with primers; after digesting by restriction endonuclease, the CTLA4 fusion gene fragment was inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector of pcDNA3.1(+)/Fc (Mouse IgG2a) to construct the expression plasmid of CTLA4-Fc; the clones were confirmed by colony-PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. The protein level of the fusion gene was identified by ELISA in 293T cells. Results The eukaryotic expression vector encoding fusion gene of CTLA4-Fc has been constructed successfully. A 1 200 bp band for the CTLA4-Fc recombinant gene and a 568 bp band for CTLA4 were observed and confirmed by colony PCR and restriction enzyme digestion on agarose gels. The positive recombinant colonies were cultured in liquid LB medium and sent the bacterial solution to the company for sequencing, and the DNA sequence was 100% homologous with in CTLA4-Fc of mouse in GenBank.The expressionof plasmid CTLA4-Fc was examined by ELISA in 293T cells. Conclusion The eukaryotic expression plasmid of CTLA4-Fc was correctly cloned in pcDNA3.1(+)/Fc (Mouse IgG2a) plasmid and expressed in 293T cells.In this study, the CTLA4 gene sequence was amplified by overlapping PCR technology, which can quickly obtain the target gene amplification products and improve the success rate of the experiment.
