一种新型的双功能体内突变检测系统的建立

将含有两个LacI靶基因的穿梭质粒pMCLacI/neo整合入小鼠的基因组中 ,建立一种能同时分析体内表达基因和沉默基因的双功能的新型体内突变检测系统 ,使在体内比较分析不同组织、器官中表达基因和沉默基因的突变谱和突变率成为可能。486个经显微注射过 pMCLacI/neo质粒的C5 7BL/ 6小鼠的受精卵 ,分别移植入 18只假孕母鼠的输卵管中 ,产下 32只存活小鼠 ,进一步检测证实 :(1)有 5只小鼠在基因组中整合有 pMCLacI/neo基因 ;(2 )该质粒中的两个LacI靶基因 ,只有一个表达 ;(3)能有效地从小鼠基因组中回收 pMCLacI/neo基因。因此 ,成功建立了pMCLacI/neo的转基因小鼠品系 ;可以将该小鼠用于整体动物水平研究表达基因和沉默基因突变机制的模型 ;该模型为一种具有双功能的新型体内突变检测系统

A Novel Bifunctional in vivo Mutation Detection System

A shuttle plasmid pMCLacI/neo with two copies of LacI was integrated into mouse genome and a novel system which could detect in vivo mutation of both expression and silence genes was constructed, enabling the comparative analysis of their mutation spectra and mutant frequencies. 486 fertilized eggs from C57BL/6 mice with microinjected pMCLacI/neo plasmid were transferred into oviducts of 18 pseudo-pregnant mice, and 32 alive offsprings were screened and identified by using PCR and Southern blotting. Genomes of 5 mice had pMCLacI/neo plasmid integrated, as verified by Southern blot after the PCR screening. Only one of the two LacI in pMCLacI/neo was in expression state; and this established a model, that the status in vivo of both gene expression and silencing could be simulated. This kind of mice might be used as a novel bifunctional mutation detection system in vivo.
