Abstract
This study aimed to construct a eukaryotic expression plasmid containing the G250/MN/CA IX (G250) and human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) genes, and to detect the expression of these proteins in vitro by recombinant plasmids in eukaryotic cells. pORF-hGM-CSF and pcDNA3.0-G250 were used as the template to amplify G250 and hGM-CSF by routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The two PCR products were cloned into the eukaryotic vector pVAX1, in order to construct a recombinant plasmid pVAX1-G250-hGM, and the plasmid was transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 cells. The protein expression was then determined by immunocytochemistry, atomic force microscopy, ELISA and Western blotting. DNA sequencing showed that the cloned G250 and hGM-CSF sequences were consistent with the reported Gene Bank ones. Moreover, a high expression was noted following recombinant plasmid transfection of the G250 and hGM-CSF proteins. Thus, the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1-G250-hGM containing G250 and hGM-CSF was constructed, allowing for the investigation of the anti-G250 antigen vaccine and immune response mechanisms of biological immunotherapy in renal cell carcinoma.
