摘要
目的获得IL-18全长cDNA序列,研究IL-18在大肠杆菌中的表达。方法利用RT-PCR方法从人外周血单个核细胞中扩增出人白细胞介素(hIL-18)的cDNA,以Sanger双脱氧法测序。进而构建了含recA启动子的表达载体PMONhIL-18,并在大肠杆菌JM101中表达,制备包涵体,并用SDS-PAGE分析表达产物。结果RT-PCR扩增出约500bp片段,SDS-PAGE示一约18kD的蛋白,与预期分子量相符,表达量占菌体蛋白的20%。结论IL-18在recA启动子下获得了高效表达,IL-18位于细胞包涵体内。
Objective To obtain the cDNA of human interleukin-18(hIL-18) for the study of its expression.Methods The human IL-18 cDNA was obtained from human PBMC by RT-PCR. The cDNA was sequenced and cloned into the expression vector containing rec A promoter. The recombinant protein was expressed in E. coli strain JM101 and the inclusion body was separated and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Results A 500bp DNA fragment was obtained by RT-PCR. The sequence of the cDNA was consistent with the published hIL-18 cDNA. After induction with nalidixic acid, SDS-PAGE showed a new protein with the molecular mass of 18kD. The yield of hIL-18 was about 20% of the total cellular protein. Conclusion hIL-18 was highly expressed under the rec A promoter and the expressed hIL-18 was mainly in the inclusion body.
