摘要
从一名丙型肝炎病人的外周血单个核细胞（ＰＢＭＣ）中分别克隆了前体和成熟人白细胞介素－１８（ｈＩＬ－１８）的基因，并应用大肠杆菌表达系统（ｐＱＥ－３０），成功地表达了重组ｈＩＬ－１８的前体和成熟蛋白。从人ＰＢＭＣ中提取总ＲＮＡ，用ｐｏｌｙ（Ｔ）８－１２反转录成ｃＤＮＡ，再以ＰＣＲ扩增出特异ＤＮＡ 片段。利用Ｅ．ｃｏｌｉ表达载体ｐＱＥ－３０，构建分别表达ｈＩＬ－１８前体和成熟蛋白的的重组质粒ｐＱＥＩＬ１８ｐ 和ｐＱＥＩＬ１８ｍ ，转化Ｅ．ｃｏｌｉＭ１５后，经ＩＰＴＧ诱导，表达出相对分子质量分别为２４ＫＤ和１９ＫＤ的重组蛋白，表达量占菌体蛋白的３０％ 和３５％ 。序列测定证实，ｈＩＬ－１８前体蛋白基因长５８２ｂｐ，成熟蛋白基因长４７７ｂｐ。经金属螯合层析纯化，获得了高纯度的表达蛋白。生物学活性鉴定，重组成熟蛋白能显著刺激Ｃｏｎ
The cDNAs encoding precursor and mature human interleukin 18 was amplified from total RNA of a hepatitis C virus carriers peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT PCR respectively. Two recombinant plasmids pQEIL18 p and pQEIL18 m were constructed by cloning cDNA of IL 18 p and IL 18 m into pQE 30 vector.By induction of IPTG, the E.coli M15 harbouring the two kinds of constructs expressed recombinant proteins with molecular weight 24KD and 19KD, respectively. Both proteins were purified with Nickel chelate affinity chromatography. The recombinant mature IL 18 induced INF γ production of Con A stimulated PBMC.
