Abstract:Objective To study biological functions of single chain IL-12 protein,we constructed fusion gene of recombinant human single chain IL-12(hscIL-12) and expressed the fusion gene in mammalian cell.Methods A hydrophobic polypeptide linker (Gly4Ser)3 was used to splice two different gene fragments of p40 and p35 subunits of hIL-12 (hIL-12 p40-linker-p35) by recombinant PCR for constructing rhscIL-12 fusion gene in vitro.After sequencing,rhscIL-12 fusion gene was inserted into pcDNA3.1(+) eukaryotic expressing plasmid and then transfected into COS-7 cell by lipofection.The fusion protein expressed was analysed with Western blot.Results Sequence analysis showed that the splicing order,the direction and the sequence in hscIL-12 fusion gene were completely correct.Expressed hscIL-12 fusion protein in COS-7 cells combined with mouse anti-human IL-12 monoclonal antibody specifically.Western blot showed the appearance of 70 000 u band of fusion protein.Conclusion The result indicates that recombinant PCR is a very effective and reliable method for gene recombination in vitro.
