Plasmid

Part:BBa_K5322030

Designed by: Xinquan Zhou   Group: iGEM24_NJTech-China   (2024-10-01)


Programmed Cell Death 1 Ligand 1 [Mus musculus] Expression System

Usage and Biology

In the context of intestinal inflammation, the presence of CD8+ T cells often leads to an immune hyperreactivity. To downregulate the immune response at the site of inflammation, we plan to utilize the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint to inhibit the activity of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells. For the purpose of facilitating further experiments, we selected mouse PD-L1 (BBa_K5322033) and conducted codon optimization, designing the plasmid pET29a-J23119-RBS-PD-L1 (Mus)-T7, as illustrated in the figure below.

Construction of the plasmid

The sequence of J23119-RBS-PD-L1 (Mus)-T7 was sent to a company for synthesis. After two weeks, the company returned results indicating that random mutations occurred during the process of recombining the fragment with the vector and introducing it into Escherichia coli. Given the uncertainties associated with these random mutations, we decided to abandon this approach.
