The sCTLA-4 Expression of Fusion Protein
1. the structure of integrative gene expression vector
PUC18[sCTLA-4/Fc with aforementioned structure] and pUC18[sCTLA-4/ joint/Fc] correct clone is inoculated in the 20ml liquid LB substratum that contains penbritin, 37 ℃ of overnight incubation, with the Midi plasmid DNA extracting and purifying test kit extracting plasmid DNA of Promega company, each get about 30 micrograms of plasmid DNA.
Use Nhe I and Xho I (Phamarcia) (10U/ μ l) digestion pUC18[sCTLA-4/Fc respectively], pUC18[sCTLA-4/ joint/Fc] and expression plasmid pMSG (Phamarcia).37 ℃ of reactions of endonuclease reaction are spent the night.Enzyme is cut product and carry out isolation identification on 0.8% agarose electrophoresis, is about the fragment of 1500bp with the gel recovery test kit recovery size of Promega company.
Use T4 dna ligase (10U/ μ l) sCTLA-4/Fc or sCTLA-4/ joint/Fc to be connected to the Nhe I and the Xho I site of pMSG carrier respectively.
According to ordinary method (seeing Sambrook etc., 1989) connection gained reorganization pMSG transformed into escherichia coli DH5a bacterial strain, and on the IPTG/X-Gal plate culture medium, carry out blue hickie screening.Respectively get 12 of hickies and be inoculated in and extract plasmid after 37 ℃ of cultivations of LB liquid nutrient medium and carry out enzyme as previously mentioned and cut evaluation, every kind of fusion gene obtains 4 segmental clones of insertion with correct size at least, as candidate clone.
Carry out dna sequencing with two in the above-mentioned candidate clone.According to sequencing result, confirm to insert the in full accord of fragments sequence and design respectively.The correct clone of gained is remembered work: pMSG[sCTLA4/Fc respectively], pMSG[sCTLA4/ joint/Fc].
2.CHO transformation and expression
Get the coli strain that has above-mentioned 2 kinds of reorganization pMSG, be inoculated in the 2xYT liquid nutrient medium that 500ml has added penbritin respectively, 37 ℃, the 260rpm concussion was cultivated 16 hours.With " Ultrapure Plasmid Purification Kit " extracting plasmid DNA of Qiagen company, extractive process is carried out according to the specification sheets that producer provides.
Use the liposome transfection Chinese hamster ovary celI, the transfection reagent box is available from Invitrogene company.Get the pMSG[sCTLA4/ joint/Fc of above-mentioned purifying during transfection respectively], pMSG[sCTLA4/Fc] plasmid 100 micrograms carry out transfection as the DNA sample to Chinese hamster ovary celI, the transfection schedule of operation is carried out according to the specification sheets of producer.
Chinese hamster ovary celI after the transfection is through continuous 3 months methotrexate (MTX) screening, and to 10 μ M, per two weeks increase a concentration to its concentration from 0.05 μ M, and the consumption of each MTX is about previous 2 times, concrete visual cell's growing state and deciding.Cell cultures is carried out according to routine, and substratum is: 15% foetal calf serum (Gibco)+RPM1640/DEME.In 37 ℃, 5%CO
