Abstract:

Background:The premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. Furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. So, it is necessary to tightly control IFN-γ production during growing and selecting of highly producing clones. Methods: In the present study, we constructed an expression vector, pMPGB43P2(6)K containing the cumate-regulatable expression cassette to high production of human IFN-γ in Chinese Hamster Ovary- Cumate Transactivator (CHO-CTA). The clones were selected in the cumate and without cumate treated medium. Results: Our results showed, induced IFN-γ expression level was about 5 of magnitude higher than the constitive transgenic system. Conclusion: Application of cumate-regulatable expression cassette, which can be switch off and on by cumate, is useful to production of high producer clones and express toxic proteins in animal cells.

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...

Expression and Purification of Human Interferon Gamma Using a Plant Viral Vector

A plant viral vector engineered from an in vivo infectious clone of zucchini yellow mosaic virus(ZYMV) was used to express the human interferon-gamma (INF-γ) in planta. The INF-γ gene was in frame inserted between the P1 and HC-Pro ORFs of the ZYMV vector. The infectious activity of the vector was approved by rubbing the plasmid on Chenopodium quino a and observing local lesions. Individual les...

Ia expression by vascular endothelium is inducible by activated T cells and by human gamma interferon

We have used monoclonal antibody binding, measured by radioimmunoassay, fluorescence flow cytometry, and ultrastructural immunocytochemistry, to measure expression of Ia antigens on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells. Under standard culture conditions, HUVE cells do not express Ia antigens. However, treatment of primary HUVE cultures with phytohemagglutinin induces the expre...

Constitutive expression of interferon gamma-inducible protein 10 in lymphoid organs and inducible expression in T cells and thymocytes

Interferon gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), a member of a family of small proinflammatory chemotactic polypeptides, is expressed in interferon gamma-stimulated keratinocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. Here we report that IP-10 is also expressed by activated but not resting T hybridoma cells, normal T cells, and thymocytes. Although resting lymphocytes did not synthesiz...

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...
