title: [Ectopic expression of human brain derived neurotrophic factor gene in fibroblasts].
abstract: The full-length sequence encoding hBDNF was inserted down into the enhancer-promotor regulatory element of Colia1 to construct minigene Colia1-BDNF. The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pSCEPBFCAT was transfected into human fetal tendon fibroblasts in culture to realize ectopic expression of hBDNF gene in fibroblasts. The results of immuno-dot blot, Elisa and Western hybridization confirm that the expression protein with apparent molecular weight 27 kDa in pSCEPBFCAT transfected fibroblasts possesses antigen activity specific for the antibodies to BDNF.
