摘要
目的RT-PCR扩增、克隆SARS冠状病毒N蛋白基因。方法根据GenBank数据库中TOR2株的全基因组序列,利用Primer Premier 5.0软件设计引物RT-PCR巢式扩增SARS冠状病毒的N基因,PCR产物克隆后进行测序鉴定。结果序列分析表明,pMD18-T载体中已成功重组了N基因。结论N蛋白基因的扩增、克隆成功,为N蛋白的表达、N蛋白结构与功能的研究奠定了基础。
Objective To amplify and clone the N g en e of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus. Method Using prim er Premier 5.0 software, two pairs of nested PCR primers were designed to amplif y the N gene. After purification, the amplified products were cloned into pMD18 -T vectors, and the positive clones with the inserted fragments were identified by sequence analysis. Results The amplified products was about 1 375 bp in leng th, and sequence analysis demonstrated that the N gene fragments had been succe ssfully inserted into pMD18-T vectors. Conclusion The successful amplification a nd cloning of N gene facilitates further investigation of the expression of the N protein and study of its structure and functions.
