Abstract:
Objective To obtain Chinese hamsterovary (CHO) cell line expressing human decay accelerating activity (hDAF) stably and to observe the protective effect of hDAF on heterologous cells under the circumstance of complement activation. Methods The eukaryotic expression vector DAF pcDNA3.1 was constructed and then transfected into CHO cells by lipofection. Monoclones of cells expressing hDAF stably were screened by the method of limiting dilution. hDAF expression was detected by flow cytometry. The decay accelerating activity of hDAF was determined by assay of C3 deposition and 51Cr release. Results The expression vector DAF pcDNA3.1 was successfully constructed, and monoclones of cells expressing hDAF were obtained. CHO cells expressing hDAF could decrease C3 deposition and attenuate the killing effect of activation of the complement system. Conclusion We have obtained CHO cell clones expressing hDAF stably, which is helpful for the further studies of the relationship of the structure with the functions of hDAF.
