Cloned cDNA derived from the genome of the virulent type 2 bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain NY'93/C was sequenced and served for establishment of the infectious cDNA clone pKANE40A. Virus recovered from pKANE40A exhibited growth characteristics similar to those of wild-type BVDV NY'93/C and proved to be clinically indistinguishable from the wild-type virus in animal experiments. A virus mutant in which the RNase residing in the viral glycoprotein E(rns) was inactivated, revealed an attenuated phenotype. The plasmid pKANE40A represents the first infectious cDNA clone established for a type 2 BVDV and offers a variety of new approaches to analyze the mechanisms of BVDV-induced disease in cattle.
对源自强毒2型牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)NY'93/C株基因组的克隆cDNA进行测序,并用于构建感染性cDNA克隆pKANE40A。从pKANE40A中回收的病毒表现出与野生型BVDV NY'93/C相似的生长特性,并且在动物实验中证明其在临床上与野生型病毒无法区分。一种病毒突变体,其中存在于病毒糖蛋白E(rns)中的核糖核酸酶失活,表现出减毒表型。质粒pKANE40A是为2型BVDV建立的首个感染性cDNA克隆,为分析BVDV诱导牛发病的机制提供了多种新方法。
