Abstract:
Large scale preparation of human IL-2 mRNA was obtained from human spleen cells stimulated with PHA+TPA at the peak of IL-2 mRNA transcription. Full length of IL-2 mRNA was translated in wheat germ extract to produce bioactive IL-2 (tIL-2). The IL-2 mRNA was about 14 S depending on the 7 M Urea-SDS-PAGE, and recovried from gel and translated in vitro. The elute curve of tIL-2 was the same as that of recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2) and natural IL-2 (nIL-2), the molecular weight of tIL-2 was about 14.000 dalton. The translational process of IL-2 mRNA in vitro was inhibited when RNA was cultured with RNase or translated product was cultured with proteinase, proving a standard in-vitro translation.
