【 Abstract】 Objective To construct a lentiviral expression vector carrying Nogo extra cellular peptide residues 1-40
(NEP1-40) and to obtain NEP1-40 efficient and stable expression in mammalian cells. Methods The DNA fragment of
NEP1-40 coding sequence was ampl ified by PCR with designed primer from the cDNA l ibrary including NEP1-40 gene, and then subcloned into pGC-FU vector with in-fusion technique to generate the lentiviral expression vector, pGC-FU-NEP1-40. The positive clones were screened by PCR and the correct NEP1-40 was confirmed by sequencing. Recombinant lentiviruses were produced in 293T cells after the cotransfection of pGC-FU-NEP1-40, and packaging plasmids of pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression of infected 293T cells was observed to evaluate gene del ivery efficiency. NEP1-40 protein expression in 293T cells was detected by Western blot. Results The lentiviral expression vector carrying NEP1-40 was successfully constructed by GFP observation, and NEP1-40 protein expression was detected in 293T cells by Western blot. Conclusion The recombinant lentivirus pGC-FU-NEP1-40 is successfully constructed and it lays a foundation for further molecular function study of NEP1-40.
