摘要
利用PCR、Western blot、免疫组化、免疫金标电镜、Southern blot从DNA水平、蛋白水平分析干扰素诱导后Mx-Cre转基因小鼠肝组织中Cre重组酶的表达及其表达产物的活性。在对Mx-cre转基因小鼠基因组中整合有cre基因进行确定后,通过干扰素诱导Mx-cre转基因小鼠表达Cre重组酶,结果表明转基因小鼠肝细胞核和细胞质中均有Cre重组酶的表达,并在超微水平进一步证实。将含表达的Cre重组酶的肝细胞核抽提液加入到带有loxP位点的DNA中进行重组,分析证明Mx-Cre转基因小鼠表达的Cre重组酶具有重组活性,从而建立了体外检测Mx-Cre转基因小鼠表达的Cre重组酶活性的方法。
The Cre recombinase and its activity in C57-TgN(Mx-Cre) transgenic mice is studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunogold electron microscopy and Southern blot. C57-TgN(Mx-Cre) transgenic mice harbouring cre gene in genomic DNA is demonstrated by PCR, and these mice which are induced by INF- αlb could express Cre recombinase, which is confirmed by Western blot. With immunohistochemistry, we find that the Cre recombinase expresses in hepatocyte cytoplasm and nuclear of C57-TgN(Mx-Cre) transgenic mice. Cre recombinase expressed in hepatocyte cytoplasm and nuclear is further confirmed by immunogold electon microscopy. And it is supported that the Cre recombinase which is created from C57-TgN(Mx-Cre) transgenic mice induced by INF-αld b can direct DNA recombination reaction in vitro. All evidence leads us supporting the view that the Cre recombinase expressed in C57- TgN(Mx-Cre) transgenic mice has activity. Thus we find a method to detect the activity of Cre recombinase in vitro.
