Abstract: The goldfish pTgf2-EF1α-EGFP transposon vector was reconstructed by insertion of artificial synthesized multiple colning sites(MCS). In order to examine its effectiveness, the recombinant vectors of pTgf2-EF1α-MCS-EGFP and pTgf2-EF1α-MCS-MIPS--EGFP containing the exogenous gene, Myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase(MIPS)were injected into 1-2 cells of zebrafish embryos. Both fluorescence observation of GFP and PCR detection of exogenous gene sizes verified the effectiveness of the reconstructed vector, in spite of slight differences in fluorescent strength of GFP. Moreover, the reconstructed vector has a higher integration efficiency(31.4%)in the genome of zebrafish based on the results. The successful construction of recombinant expression vector displays goldfish Tgf2 transposon can mediate exogenous gene expression in zebrafish and it would be useful to Tgf2 transposon in gene function research of fish.
