摘要: PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to clone a c-DNA fragment hepatitis C virus in eukaryotic expression vector and measure the efficacy humoral immune responses mice inoculated with recombinant plasmid. This an attempt lay foundation for HCV nucleic acid vaccine development future. METHODS: A BK146, type 1b, sub-cloned into pMT3. HepG2 COS cells were transfected construct, named pMT3-BK146. mRNA proteins studied by reverse transcribed polymerase chain reaction, radio Immunoprecipitation (RIPA) immunofluorescence (IFA). DNA construct injected footpad BALB/c antibody response tested enzyme immunoassay indirect immunofluorescence. RESULTS: transiently plasmid pMT3-BK146 showed RT-PCR, RIPA when Balb/c able generate specific ELISA IFA. CONCLUSIONS: cloned express core protein. also elicit mice. can be initial step towards potential infection.
