Tetracycline stringent controlled eucaryon expression vector

Abstract

The invention provides a tetracycline strictly controlled eukaryotic expression vector. Following DNA elements including hCMV, rtTA2-M2, IRES, EGFP-Puro, element (Luc) of coding luciferase and Ptetbi-RFC are respectively introduced and are used for the expression and screening of exogenous interest genes in eukaryotic cells. The vector is strictly controlled by Tet or Dox after being transfected. And the expression level of the genes is quantitatively regulated through the amount of the added Tet or Dox. The expression level of the interest genes can be indirectly detected through the detection of the activity of Luc luciferase. The transfection efficiency of the vector can be completed through the detection of the proportion of green fluorescyte. The stably transfected cells are sorted by a flow cytometry. Thus, the expression of the interest genes is ensured to be simple and convenient. And in a stable cell line obtained through screening, the interest genes are integrated with a host genome. The tetracycline strictly controlled eukaryotic expression vector has long stable expression characteristics and advantages.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and relates to a eukaryotic expression carrier strictly regulated by tetracycline, in particular to the convenient recombination of exogenous genes of different interests into the carrier, and the screening of positive cells transfected with the carrier. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of functional genomics research requires a tightly regulated gene expression system, so that the expression of foreign genes in host cells can be precisely regulated, so that their functional research can proceed smoothly. In recent years, the gene expression system regulated by tetracycline (Tet) has been widely used. Tet-induced expression systems are divided into two types: one is the Tet-closed type, and the other is the Tet-opened type. The former is constitutively expressed in the absence of Tet and its derivative doxycycline (Dox), and is regulated in the presence of Tet or Dox...

Regulated and liver-specific tamarin alpha interferon gene delivery by a helper-dependent adenoviral vector.J Virol.79:6772-6780), but the problem is that the replacement of the target gene regulated by Tet or Dox is inconvenient; for example, after high-throughput To obtain a lot of interest genes to be detected by using the method of screening, it is necessary to design a recombination scheme according to the sequences and restriction sites of different genes, and use traditional restriction metho
