To explore the biofunctions of human B7-H3 on activated T lymphocyte,the gene of human B7-H3 encoding the extracellular region (IgV-like and IgC-like domains) was obtained by RT-PCR from human lung cells and subcloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-5X-3 to express glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein.A 49 kD fusion protein (named as GST/hB7-H3 hereafter) was induced by IPTG and purified by standard methods reported in prokaryotic system.In the presence of the first signal imitated by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody,T lymphocyte proliferation was observed by incubating purified T cells with soluble GST/hB7-H3 fusion protein by MTT assay.The concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-10 in the supeatants of T cells were determined by ELISA.The results showed that the GST/hB7-H3 protein produced in bacteria had modest biological activities to proliferate the T lymphocyte and enhance IFN-γ as well as IL-10 secretion.
