Construction of a eukaryotic expression vector,pEGFP-C2-hTim-3,and establishment of a 16HBE cell line stably transfected with a plasmid containing human Tim-3
Objectives To screen cell lines derived from the human respiratory tract for expression of Tim-3in order to lay the foundation for elucidation of the potential association between Tim-3and respiratory tract diseases;to construct a eukaryotic expression vector,pEGFP-C2-hTim-3,for further study of the function of human Tim-3(hTim-3);and to transfect pEGFP-C2-hTim-3and pEGFP-C2 into 16HBE cells and screen for positive clones in order to facilitate further study. Methods The human bronchial epithelial cell line...
