Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to construct a lentiviral vector containing pir-b gene, and to detect the expression of pir-b gene in 293T cells. The open reading frame (ORF) of pir-b gene from the mRNA of mouse was cloned, then inserted into a sequencing vector. The pir-b gene was subcloned into the transfer plasmid of the lentivirus system, which was transfected together with the packaging plasmids into 293T cells by Lipofectin 2000, thereafter, the supernatant was collected and concentrated to transfect 293T cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression of the exogenous PIR-B after 293T cells were infected by the virus, while the lentivirus harboring egfp gene was packaged as the control group. The result indicated that the ORF of the pir-b gene was successfully cloned, the sequence of which was consistent to that was expected and the PIR-B protein could be expressed in 293T cells normally. It is concluded that the lentiviral vector containing pir-b gene was constructed successfully, which would contribute to illustrating the important role of pir-b gene in the immunological regulation.
