Abstract

Objective: To construct the eukaryotic expression vector that express human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) gene for making highly express in mammalian cells. Methods: Extract totally RNA from the induced human fetal lung (HFL) cell line. HGM-CSF cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and then directionally subcloned into the HindIII and EcoRI site on the pcDNA3.1 plasmid, which was controlled by the CMV promoter, to form the recombinant expressing vector pcDNA3.1-GM-CSF. Results: The PCR amplification was identified and the sequence was analyzed, the results showed that hGM-CSF was properly inserted into the vector and the sequence was correct.
