[Construction and expression of the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/Ts87 of Trichinella spiralis]
Abstract
Objective: To construct and express DNA plasmid of Trichinella spiralis.
Methods: The BamHI and HindIII enzyme sites and KOZAK sequences were introduced at both ends of Ts87 gene by PCR. Ts87 gene was ligated into pcDNA3.1(+) vector with T4 ligase. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/Ts87 and plasmid pcDNA3.1 were transfected into an eukaryotic cell line COS7 through Lipofectamine, respectively. The BALB/c mice were immunized with the purified plasmid DNA pcDNA3.1/Ts87 through two routes: intramuscular injection and gene-gun injection.
Results and conclusion: The pcDNA3.1/Ts87 was expressed both in COS7 and in the BALB/c mice.
