Constructin and Appraisement of Fusion Gene Eukaryon Expression VectorpcDNA3/HSVⅡ TK/Angiostatin

Objective To amplificate,clone and sequence the thymidine kinase (TK) gene of herpes simplex virusⅡ(HSVⅡ); to construct and appraise the fusion gene eukaryon expression vector, pcDNA3/HSVⅡ TK/angiostatin. MethodsThe Hep2 cells were infected by HSVⅡ Sav strain. HSVⅡ genomic DNA was purified from the Hep2 cells suspension and used as template to run PCR for TK gene amplification. The amplified products were cloned into PC DNA3 vector and sequenced. The vector pcDNA/HSVⅡ TK was cut by endonuclease. The gained TK gene was cloned into eukaryon expression vector. pcDNA3/angiostation, which had been constructed. ResultsCoding region of HSVⅡTK gene consisted of 1 128 bp except stop code, it encoded 376 amino acids.After cutting the new vector by endonuclease Hind Ⅲ and BamH Ⅰ,we gained the following gene fragment: 1000 bp (TK) and 700 bp (angiostation).Conclusion The fusion gene eukaryon expression vector， pcDNA3/HSVⅡ TK/angiostatin has been constructed.
