Abstract

OBJECTIVETo establish a RT-PCR system for detecting mRNA expression level of 4 hsp genes in human cells.

METHODSRT-PCR system was established with gene cloning, gene recombination, in vitro transcription and RT-PCR techniques; The detection of expression level of 4 hsp genes in SW13 cell was carried out with this system.

RESULTSIn SW13 cell, hsp70 and hsp90 alpha were typical heat shock induced genes, while hsp60 and hsp90 beta were efficiently expressed and further induced by heat-shock to various extent.

CONCLUSIONSIn our hands novel RT-PCR system can be used to detect mRNA expression level of 4 human hsp genes.
