Abstract:
This paper is aimed to investigate the transcription and expression of BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA fusion gene vaccines in vivo in mice. The reconstructed plasmids (BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA) which were developed previously in our laboratory were injected into the skeletal muscles of BALB/c mice at 14d intervals for three cycles. The transcription and expression of BCR-ABL and staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in injection site were detected using RT-PCR and immunohistological methods. The BCR-ABL/SEA mRNA and protein could be identified in the injection site of BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA vaccinated mice. The reconstructed BCR-ABL-pIRES-SEA plasmids can effectively express gene production in the skeletal muscles of mice and have the common features of DNA vaccine.
