B7- 1 cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription polyrnerase chain reaction (RT - PCR) and recombined to retroviral vector PLXSN. Calcium phosphate - DNA precipation was used to transfect PLB7SN into packaging cells PA317 . Human leukemia cells K562 and HL60 were infected with higher titer of virus. B7 - 1 gene expression was confirmed by PCR.
