Cloning and expression of murine immune interferon cDNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The murine immune interferon (IFN-gamma) gene was cloned and expressed under control of the simian virus 40 early promoter in the monkey COS-1 cell line. A protein is secreted from these cells having the biological, antigenic, and biochemical characteristics of natural murine IFN-gamma. Cloned murine IFN-gamma cDNAs were obtained by using RNA from both mitogen-induced murine spleens and the transfected COS cells, and both code for identical proteins. The mature murine IFN-gamma encoded is 136 amino acids long, 10 amino acids shorter than human IFN-gamma. The nucleotide homology between the murine and human IFN-gamma genes is 60-65%, whereas the encoded proteins are only 40% homologous. Murine IFN-gamma cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli under trp promoter control.

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining T helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. In this study, the bovine IFN-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue RNA using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IFN-γ cDNA was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter. The pred...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI
The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...
متن کاملP38: The Immunoregulatory Effect of Cyclic Dinucleotides on Human Immune Cells
In multiple sclerosis (MS) beneficial effects have been assigned to the interferon (IFN)-I subclass IFN-ß, making its administration a first-line disease-modifying treatment in MS. IFN-I responses can be induced by cyclic-dinucleotide (CDN) triggered activation of Stimulator-of-interferon-genes (STING) and have essential immunomodulatory effects. A beneficial effect of STING activation on...
