METHODS: Labeled streptavidin biotin(LSAB) method of immunohisto-chemistry was used to study 33 HCC tissue specimens. RESULTS: Most HCC tissues and adjacent histological normal hepatocytes expressed HLA-I antigens,TAP,and B7, expression of B7 was especially strong,and there was no significant difference between them (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The MHC class I presentation pathway in primary hepatocellular carcinoma may not be abnormal or dysfunctional,and CTL could kill these tumor cells. Thus, it is suitable and practicable to design and construct CTL vaccine against HCC.展开更多
目的:构建携带小鼠MHCII类分子反式激活因子(MHC class II molecule transactivator,CIITA)突变体基因的腺病毒,并观察腺病毒介导该基因的表达情况以及表达产物的体外功能。方法:采用常规分子生物学方法从IFN-γ诱导后的BALB/c小鼠腹腔...目的:构建携带小鼠MHCII类分子反式激活因子(MHC class II molecule transactivator,CIITA)突变体基因的腺病毒,并观察腺病毒介导该基因的表达情况以及表达产物的体外功能。方法:采用常规分子生物学方法从IFN-γ诱导后的BALB/c小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞中获得IV型CIITA cDNA;利用重叠延伸PCR法构建CIITA突变体基因,并克隆入表达载体pIRES;采用pAdEasy-1系统获得具有感染能力的、携带CIITA突变体基因的缺陷型重组腺病毒(Ad-CIITAm)和空载对照病毒(Ad-GFP),并经大量扩增、纯化及滴度测定;将Ad-CIITAm和Ad-GFP分别感染HeLa细胞和Raji细胞,流式细胞术观察对诱导型和组成型HLA-DR分子表达的影响。结果:成功克隆了小鼠CIITA突变体基因,并构建了携带小鼠CIITA突变体基因的重组腺病毒Ad-CIITAm;经流式细胞术证实感染Ad-CIITAm的Hela和Raji细胞较感染Ad-GFP的细胞,其表面HLA-DR分子的表达均受到明显的抑制。结论:本实验证实了重组腺病毒介导表达的小鼠CIITA突变体在体外能够有效地抑制MHCII类分子的表达。展开更多
