Objective To construct a fused gene of H 2K b and green fluorescent protein, and analyze the expression of fused K b GFP in living cells. Methods A fusion gene composed of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and murine class I MHC molecule H 2K b cDNA was constructed by standard cloning technology. Northern blot and Western blot analysis were used to evaluate the expression of the fused gene. Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to monitor the distribution of green fluorescence. Results Laser scanning confocal microscopy clearly revealed that the chimeric K b GFP molecules were mostly expressed on the membrane surface as the natural counterpart. Furthermore, the extracellular portion of the expressed K b GFP conjugate can be recognized by a monoclonal antibody specific for folded K b molecule, implying the correct folding and assembly of GFP tagged K b molecules. K b GFP can be transiently and stably expressed in mammalian cells. Conclusion The GFP tag does not interfere with the natural assembly and transport of K b molecule, and K b GFP can act as a potential tool to learn more about antigen presentation by class I MHC molecules in living cells.
