Abstract: The human insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from human tonsil tissue. Sequenced, the IGF-1 cDNA was inserted into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+). The recombinant plasmid pcDNA/I was transferred into HUVEC cells mediated by liposome. The activity of IGF-1 was detected by MTT. The results showed that IGF-1 protein was expressed in HUVEC cells 72 h after gene transference and it had good biological activity to stimulate HUVEC proliferation. pcDNA/I was transferred into 293 cells mediated by liposome. Screened with G418, we got positive cell which can express recombinant protein of IGF-1 stably. Chick charioallantoic membrane(CAM) bioassay show that the recombinant protein has biological activity to promote blood vessel formation.

Key words: insulin-like growth factor-1, gene clone, gene expression
