title: [Cloning and expression of VEGF receptor Flt-1 gene in S. lividans TK24].
abstract: Using RNA extracted from human umbilical vein endothelium cell as a template, the gene VEGF receptor Flt-1 was amplified by RT-PCR. Recombinant plasmid pSGLgpp-F was constructed and was transformed into S. lividans TK24. With the detection of SDS-PAGE and Western blot, a specific band being same to the reports near 63.6 kd was found. The results showed sFlt-1 was successfully expressed in S. lividans. The result of the binding assay of receptor-ligand for sFlt-1 showed sFlt-1 has the biological activity of binding with its ligand VEGF.
