The invention provides a PK-15
cell line capable of stably expressing porcine Mx2
protein as well as preparation and application of the PK-15
cell line. The PK-15
cell line capable of stably expressing porcine Mx2
gene is constructed through a lentiviral
vector system. A specific primer is designed according to the
nucleotide sequence of the porcine Mx2
gene in a GeneBank
database, recombinant
lentivirus plasmids are constructed after target genes are amplified, HEK293
T cell packaging
lentivirus is transfected by utilizing a three-
plasmid system, PK-15 cells are infected by the obtained recombinant
lentivirus, and the PK-15 cell line for stably expressing the porcine Mx2
gene is obtained through
puromycin screening. Experimental results show that the PK-15 cell line PK-15-poMx2 capable of stably expressing the porcine Mx2
protein is successfully constructed by the method disclosed by the invention. Compared with normal PK-15 cells, the expression quantity of Mx2 in the porcine Mx2 stable expression cell line is remarkably increased, and the porcine Mx2 stable expression cell line has an inhibiting effect on replication of PRV (Porcine Reproductive
Virus). Therefore, the successful construction of the cell line for stably expressing the porcine Mx2
protein provides an important tool for deeply exploring the functional characteristics and the antiviral action mechanism of the porcine Mx2 protein.
