construction and production of foxp3- fc (igg) dna vaccine/fusion protein

چکیده
background: it seems that the success of vaccination for cancer immunotherapy such as dendritic cell (dc) based cancer vaccine is hindered through a powerful network of immune system suppressive elements in which regulatory t cell is the common factor. foxp3 transcription factor is the most specific marker of regulatory t cells. in different studies, targeting an immune response against regulatory cells expressing foxp3 and their removal have been assessed. as these previous studies could not efficiently conquer the suppressive effect of regulatory cells by their partial elimination, an attempt was made to search for constructing more effective vaccines against regulatory t cells by which to improve the effect of combined means of immunotherapy in cancer. in this study, a dna vaccine and its respective protein were constructed in which foxp3 fused to fc(igg) can be efficiently captured and processed by dc via receptor mediated endocytosis and presented to mhcii and i (cross priming). methods: dna construct containing fragment c (fc) portion of igg fused to foxp3 was designed. dna construct was transfected into hek cells to investigate its expression through fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. its specific expression was also assessed by western blot. for producing recombinant protein, foxp3-fc fusion construct was inserted into pet21a vector and consequently, escherichia coli (e. coli) strain bl21 was selected as host cells. the expression of recombinant fusion protein was assayed by western blot analysis. afterward, fusion protein was purified by sds page reverse staining. results: the expression analysis of dna construct by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy showed that this construct was successfully expressed in eukaryotic cells. moreover, the foxp3-fc expression was confirmed by sds-page followed by western blot analysis. additionally, the presence of fusion protein was shown by specific antibody after purification. conclusion: due to successful expression of foxp3-fc (igg), it would be expected to develop vaccines in tumor therapies for removal of regulatory cells as a strategy for increasing the efficiency of other immunotherapy means.

متن کاملConstruction of the Chimeric HSP70 - E7 Vector and Evaluation of its Protein Production
Background and Aims: Since the produced recombinant proteins by molecular genetics techniques commonly have some limitations in the application, chimeric protein are introduced. Chimeric proteins have found widespread application for the study of protein folding, structure stability, function and immunogenisity. Methods: According to the known Immunomodulatory effect and structure of HSP70 mole...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
The crystal structure of rabbit IgG-Fc.
We report the structure of the Fc fragment of rabbit IgG at 1.95 A (1 A=0.1 nm) resolution. Rabbit IgG was the molecule for which Porter established the four-chain, Upsilon-shaped structure of the antibody molecule, and crystals of the Fc ('Fragment crystallisable') were first reported almost 50 years ago in this journal [Porter, R. R. (1959) Biochem. J. 73, 119-126]. This high-resolution analy...
