Objective: To construct recombinant plasmid of Legionella pneumophila mip gene and detect its expression in NIH3T3 cells.
Methods: mip gene of Legionella pneumophila was amplified by PCR. The amplified DNA was ligated to pcDNA3.1(+) vector. The recombinant plasmid was named pcDNA3.1-mip. NIH3T3 cell was transfected by recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-mip with Lipofection strategy. Transient and stable products of mip gene were detected by immunofluorescence and Western-blot.
Results: It was found that there was high green fluorescence on the cell membrane and inside the cell. It showed that NIH3T3 cell was transfected by pcDNA3.1-mip successfully. Rabbit serum antibody of Legionella pneumophila detected the NIH3T3 cell transfected with pcDNA3.1-mip. There was the protein in relative molecular weight 24 X 10(3), whereas no evidence for the protein in NIH3T3 cell transfected with pcDNA3.1(+) was seen. The protein expression of mip gene was shown.
Conclusion: We have successfully constructed the recombinant plasmid of Legionella pneumophila mip gene and detected the relative molecular weight 24 X 10(3) Mip protein in NIH3T3 cells.

Although the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas system has been extensively developed since its discovery for eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome editing and other genetic manipulations, there are still areas warranting improvement, especially regarding bacteria. In this study, BRD0539, a small-molecule inhibitor of Cas9 (SpCas9), was used to suppress the activity of the nuclease during genetic modification of , as well as to regulate CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). First, we developed and validated a CRISPR-SpCas9 system targeting the gene of .

Background: Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, with its spread intricately linked across human, animal, and environmental sectors. Revealing the antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) flow among the One Health sectors is essential for better control of antimicrobial resistance.
Results: In this study, we investigated regional ARG transmission among humans, food, and the environment in Dengfeng, Henan Province, China by combining large-scale metagenomic sequencing with culturing of resistant bacterial isolates in 592 samples.

Maternal vaccination is essential for safeguarding both mother and foetus from infectious diseases. This study investigated the immunogenicity and efficacy of a maternal ORF-B2L genetic vaccine in a pregnant rat model, focusing on maternal-neonatal immune modulation, placental and neonatal spleen transcriptomics and the underlying mechanisms contributing to neonatal immune development. Female rats received intramuscular injections of either a gene vaccine (GV) containing 200 μg of recombinant ORF-B2L DNA and 50 μg of a subunit protein or an empty plasmid as a control.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-associated gene therapy has been increasingly promising, in light of the drugs progressed to clinical trials or approved for medications internationally. Therefore, scalable and efficient production of recombinant AAV is pivotal for advancing gene therapy. Traditional methods, such as the triple-plasmid transfection of human embryonic kidney 293 cells in suspension culture, have been widely employed but often hampered by low unit yield.
