稳定表达含HBV多表位短肽的杂合HBc颗粒的重组NS-1细胞株的筛选与鉴定

目的建立稳定表达含HBV多表位短肽的杂合HBc颗粒的重组NS-1细胞株。方法将以HBV多表位复合基因取代脊区基因的杂合HBc真核表达质粒转染NS-1细胞,经G418及亚克隆筛选高表达阳性细胞株,并以RT-PCR、ELISA、间接免疫荧光及Western blotting等方法检测、鉴定重组细胞表达产物。结果筛选所得稳定表达细胞株经RT-PCR、ELISA、间接免疫荧光及Western blotting等方法检测均呈阳性反应,而阴性对照及空白对照未出现相应阳性反应。结论筛选获得稳定表达含HBV多表位短肽的杂合HBc颗粒的重组细胞株,命名为NS/HBc-Mep。为建立HBc-Mep特异的cELISA及CTL活性测定等实验方法提供可靠的靶细胞。

Establishment and identification of recombinant NS-1 cell strain that stably expresses chimeric HBc containing HBV multiepitope short peptides

Objective To establish recombinant NS-1 cell strain that is capable of stable expression of chimeric HBc particle containing HBV multi epitope short peptides. Methods The recombinant plasmid, pHBc-Mep, was transfected into NS-1 cells via Lipofectamine, and the recombinant cell strain was screened with G418 and subclone screening. The expression products of the cells were examined by RT-PCR, ELISA, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blotting. Results The results of RT-PCR, ELISA, IFA and Western blotting demonstrated that the recombinant protein HBc-Mep was expressed in the screened cells after continuous cloning for 3 times, but not in cells transfected with pcDNA3.1 or nontransfected cells. Conclusion The recombinant cell strain stably expressing chimeric HBc particle containing multi epitope short peptides of HBV, designated as NS/HBc-Mep, has been established successfully.
