摘要 In order to confirm the existence of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO) gene in swine,and to clone the novel gene followed by the molecule structure properties and expression pattern analysis,the porcine mRNA sequences homologous to human IDO were obtained from GenBank database by bioinformatics method.By using RT-PCR,the IDO gene was cloned from porcine endothelial cell line and the accuracy of the nucleic acid sequence was confirmed,and the expression pattern of the gene was detected.The three-dimensional structure model of porcine IDO was built referring to the tertiary structure of human IDO using biological sequence analysis software and database.The results showed that the porcine IDO was identified by sequencing.The nucleotide sequences were confirmed as a novel gene after submitted to Genbank.Porcine IDO was expressed in the lung,thymus,epididymis and anterior chamber with a basic level,however in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) the IDO gene was highly expressed.The three-dimensional structure model of porcine IDO was similar to that of human IDO.It was suggested that identification of the structure information of porcine IDO is essential to further investigate the immunologic function of the gene.Study of IDO on NK cells-mediated xenograft rejection will be a novel therapeutic target for the development of xenotransplantation.
