Abstract:
Objective To obtain and construct eukaryotic expression vector of hBD
2.To examine the expression of hBD
2 in L929 and observe the antimicrobial activity of recombinant hBD
2.
Methods The total RNA was isolated from human cervical carcinoma tissue and hBD
2 cDNA fragments were obtained by RT-PCR amplification with specific primers,and inserted into pCAGG vector.The expression of hBD
2 in L929 was examined by RT-PCR,the antimicrobial activity of recombinanthBD
2 was assessed by Kir by-Bauer disc agar diffusion test.
Results It was proved that we successfully cloned the cDNA of hBD
2 and constructed its recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pCAGG-hBD
2.Recombinant hBD
2 in supernate showed antimicrobial activity.
Conclusion Recombinant expression vector of hBD
2 could be effectively expressed in L929,and the recombinant hBD
2 in supernate showed obvious antimicrobial effects toward some standard bacteria lines.
