Objective: To construct the expression vectors of GPC-3 CTL epitope.
Methods: The HBsAg gene with three different EYILSLEEL (EYI) sites was named EYI1, and another with one EYI replacing CTL epitope FLG or SIL of pcHBsAg were named EYI2 and EYI3, respectively. All the three DNAs were amplified by SEOing PCR from pcHBsAg plasmid and linked into pBSSK+ vector to construct Pbssk/EYI1, pBSSK/EYI2, and pBSSK/EYI3. The three plasmid were identified by PCR, double digestion and sequencing, and the fragments with EYI1-3 were obtained by double digestion and then inserted into pcDNA3.1+ vector.
Results And Conclusion: PCR, enzyme digestion and sequence analysis confirmed successful construction of the eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA-EYI1/HBsAg, pcDNA-EYI2/HBsAg, pcDNA-EYI3/HBsAg, which facilitate further studies of the GPC3-HBsAg multiple peptides vaccine for HBV infection.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the prevalent cancers in the world with a high recurrence rate. In recent years, different researches have focused on designing efficient multi-epitope peptide vaccines against HCC. In designing these vaccines, over-expressed antigens in HCC patients, such as α- fetoprotein (AFP) and glypican-3 (GPC-3), have been employed.

Background: Glypican 3 (GPC-3) is an oncofoetal protein that is expressed in most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). Since it is a potential target for T cell immunotherapy, we investigated the generation of functional, GPC-3 specific T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
Methods: Dendritic cells (DC) were derived from adherent PBMC cultured at 37 degrees C for 7 days in X-Vivo, 1% autologous plasma, and 800 u/ml GM-CSF plus 500 u/ml IL-4.
