abstract

interferon gamma (ifn-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining t helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. in this study, the bovine ifn-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue rna using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). ifn-γ cdna was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcdna3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (cmv)promoter. the predicted amino acid (aa) sequence of bovine ifn-γ compared with corresponding knownsequence from bovine (bos taurus) was 100% identity and with ovine, caprine, camel, lama, equine, canine,feline, human, mice and chicken cytokine was 95, 95, 86, 83, 77, 75, 75, 61, 44 and 35%, respectively. invitro expression of recombinant bovine ifn-γ (rboifn-γ) and secretion to culture medium was confirmed by elisa test. maximum expression of rboifn-γ occurred at 96 and 144 h after transfection in cos-7 cells.these results showed that pcdna3.1 expression vector and cos-7 cells transfected by diethylaminoethyl(deae)-dextran allowed the high level expression of bovine ifn-γ gene and the release of protein insupernatant of cell culture.

Cloning and high level expression of bovine interferon gamma gene in eukaryotic cells (COS-7)

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining T helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. In this study, the bovine IFN-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue RNA using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IFN-γ cDNA was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter. The pred...

Cloning and Expression of VP2 Gene of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Eukaryotic Cells

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an economically important viral disease of chickens with worldwide distribution which suppresses the immune system of young chickens. VP2 is the major host-protective protein of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The encoding region of VP2 protein was PCR amplified from a plasmid containing a cDNA fragment of large genomic segment of IBDV, strain D78. Thi...

Cloning and secretory expression of VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus in eukaryotic cells

VP2 gene coding region of a vaccinal strain (D78) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was clonedin a eukaryotic expression vector, pSec Tag2A. The gene was placed downstream of Ig κ chain leadersequence, under the control of human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) immediate early enhancer and promoter. Theconstruct pSec Tag2A-VP2 was transfected in COS-7 cell line and the expression and secretion of...

Cloning and Expression of Human Gamma-Interferon cDNA in E. coli

Prior to the production of human gamma interferon using recombinant DNA technology, it had been producedmainly upon mitogenic induction of lymphocytes in very low amounts, which evidently hamperedits characterization and its medical applications. The recombinant gamma interferons produced in largerquantities in prokaryotic systems retain their biological activities, and can be...

Molecular Cloning and Expression of Human Gamma Interferon (IFN-g) Full cDNA in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells

Background: IFN-g is mostly secreted by activated CD4+ , CD8+ T cells and NK cells. This cytokine has immunomodulatory, anti-cancer and anti-microbial effects and is important for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of chronic infections and cancers. Objective: The purpose of this study was to clone the full cDNA of human IFN-g and express it in CHO cell line. Methods: Lymphocytes from a healt...

CLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI

The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...
