Abstract The genes encoding Mycobacterium tuberculosis Hsp65 and IL-2 were cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 and transformed to E.coli DH5a. Then, the positive recombinant plasmid Hsp65-IL-2-pcDNA 3.1 was selected and transfected to P815 cells (H-2 d) whose genetic background was identical to that of BALB/c mice. In this way, one positive cell clone was selected by G418, and the specific mRNA of the fusion protein was detected by RT-PCR. By immunofluorescence technique (IFT) the P815 cells transfected with recombinant plasmid showed strong fluorescence, indicating the expression of fusion protein in this cell. It is apparent that a stable cell line expressing M.tuberculosis Hsp65 and IL-2 proteins in P915 cells is obtained, which may be used as the optimal target cell for CTL experiment.
