[Construction of adeno-associated virus vector containing human papilloma virus 16 E7 gene and its expression in eukaryotic cells].

OBJECTIVE: To construct recombinant adeno-associated virus vector containing human papilloma virus (HPV) 16E7 gene and identify its effectiveness of expression in eukaryotic cell. METHODS: Recombinant adeno-associated virus particles containing HPV16E7 gene were generated by co-transfection of plasmids pAAV-MCS-E7, pAAV-RC and pAAV-helper into HEK293 cells. The viral particles were collected and purified. The vector titer was measured by southern blot. After the eukaryotic cells were transfected by virus particles, RT-PCR and western blot analysis were performed to identify rAAV expression. RESULTS: The recombinant adeno-associated virus vector containing HPV16E7 gene was correctly constructed. The vector titer measured by southern blot was approximately 1 x 10(11)/ml. After the eukaryotic cells were transfected by the recombinant adeno-associated virus vector, the expression of HPV16E7 gene was identified by RT-PCR and western blot. CONCLUSIONS: Recombinant adeno-associated virus HPV16E7 vector is successfully constructed and can stably express in eukaryotic cells.
