The sequence starting from the 5’ untranslated region of 18nt to 32nt in HCV core coding region was cloned and then the encephalomyocarditis virus (ECMV) IRES sequence in the commercial vector pIRES was substituted to construct a new vector pCVIR. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) coding genes were inserted up-stream and down-stream of IRES sequence. The fluorescence intensity of GFP and HBsAg were determined by flow cytometry and ELISA respectively., thus, the expression efficiency of the two vectors, pCVIR and pIRES could be compared. The experimental results showed that the vector pCVIR could translate the GFP and HBsAg genes down-stream of its HCV IRES sequence more efficiently without impairing the expression of genes up-stream of IRES sequence than the vector pIRES.It is concluded that a new eukaryotic bi-cistronic expression vector containing HCV IRES was constructed successfully by the method described above.展开更多
