title: Construction of recombinant adenoviral vector of annexin II.
abstract: Annexin II is a member of the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins expressed in vascular endothelium. Recently this molecule was reported to play a role in control of fibrinolysis on the endothelial surface. To examine the role of annexin II in vascular endothelium critically, we developed a recombinant adenoviral vector containing the annexin II cDNA. A full-length annexin II cDNA was inserted into a shuttle vector, pAdRSV4, and co-transfected into 293 cells with a replication-deficient type 5 adenovirus, pJM17. Resulting plaques were isolated and checked for protein expression. The verified clone (AdRSV-ANII) was further analyzed. Characterization of this vector will facilitate the investigation of the mechanism of fibrinolysis on vascular endothelium.
