Abstract:

According to the sequence of canine interferon-α (CaIFN-α) gene published in GenBank,primers were designed,synthesized and introduced EcoRⅠand HindⅢ restriction sites.Using canine liver DNA as a template,CaIFN-α gene was amplified by PCR,then the gene was cloned into pBV220 and pET-32a(+) expression vector,and transformed into the BL21(DE3) expression system.Recombinant fusion protein was analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.Protein was purified and the antiviral activity was detected by MDCK/VSV cytopathic inhibition assay.The results showed that pBV220-α-IFN recombinant protein has a low activity,but the activity of pET32a-α-IFN recombinant protein was up to 2.56×106 U/mL.This study laid a foundation for production of highly active IFN.

Key words: canine; interferon-α; prokaryotic expression; antiviral activity
