Plasmid design and protein production. (a) Vector constructs of the non-optimized (top) and optimized (bottom) CBhEqIL-1ra-pTRs-ks plasmids (left) and the CMVEqIL-1ra-pTRs-ks plasmids (right). Specific base pair sequence changes were made in the optimized IL-1ra gene (without affecting the protein sequence) so that the protein would be produced more efficiently by the scAAV construct. (b) IL-1ra production in transduced 293 cells. IL-1ra production was assessed in 293 cells transduced with 2 µg/cm of optimized and non-optimized equine IL-1ra plasmid constructs. CMV, cytomegalovirus; IL, interleukin; scAAV, self-complementary adeno-associated virus.
