Abstract: Objective: To construct a eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(-)-humanin. Methods: The recombinant plasmid pGEMEX-1-humanin was digested with restriction endonucleases BamH I and Hind III and the humanin gene fragments, about 100 bp length, were obtained. Then the humanin gene fragments were inserted into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(-) and the recombinant plasmids pcDNA3.1(-)-humanin were identified by sequencing. Results: Recombinant plasmid DNA successfully produced a band which had the same size as that of the humanin positive control. The sequence of recombinant plasmids accorded with the Humnain gene sequence. Conclusions: A eukaryotic expression plasmid of humanin was successfully constructed.
