In order to construct the recombinant bovine hepervirus-1 (BHV-1) which expressed foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) VP1 gene, we constructed a BHV-1 gE gene transfer vector by inserting the synthetic VP1 gene of FMDV (O/China/99) under the immediate-early promoter of cytomegalovirus.
The mixtures of parental virus (BHV-1/gE(-)/LacZ+) DNA and transfer vector was transfected into bovine turbinate cells using calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. Then the propagated viruses were harvested. The recombinant BHV-1 (designated BHV-1/gE(-)/VP1) was obtained by selection for white virus plaques.
PCR results showed that VP1 gene was successfully inserted into the genome of BHV-1/gE(-). The expression of VP1 in infected cells was proved by indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting.
The research provided a basis for development of BHV-1 vector vaccines for FMD and other important bovine infectious diseases.
为构建表达口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)VP1基因的重组牛疱疹病毒1型(BHV-1),我们通过将FMDV(O/China/99)的合成VP1基因插入巨细胞病毒的立即早期启动子下,构建了一个BHV-1 gE基因转移载体。
使用磷酸钙介导的转染方法,将亲本病毒(BHV-1/gE(-)/LacZ+)DNA与转移载体的混合物转染到牛鼻甲细胞中。然后收获增殖的病毒。通过选择白色病毒斑获得重组BHV-1(命名为BHV-1/gE(-)/VP1)。
PCR结果表明VP1基因成功插入BHV-1/gE(-)的基因组中。间接免疫荧光试验和蛋白质印迹法证实了VP1在感染细胞中的表达。
该研究为开发用于口蹄疫和其他重要牛传染病的BHV-1载体疫苗提供了依据。
