Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod borne alphavirus of the family Togaviridae. CHIKV is a reemerging virus for which there is no safe prophylactic vaccine. A live attenuated strain of CHIKV, CHIK181/25, was previously demonstrated to be highly immunogenic in humans, however, it showed residual virulence causing transient arthralgia.
In this study, we demonstrate the complete inactivation of CHIKV181/25 by 1,5 iodonapthyl azide (INA). No cytopathic effect and virus replication was observed in cells infected with the INA-inactivated CHIKV. However, a reduction in the INA-inactivated CHIK virus-antibody binding capacity was observed by western blot analysis.
INA completely inactivated CHIKV and can further be explored for developing an inactivated-CHIKV vaccine.
基孔肯雅病毒(CHIKV)是一种虫媒传播的甲病毒,属于披膜病毒科。CHIKV 是一种新出现的病毒,目前尚无安全的预防性疫苗。此前,CHIKV 的一种减毒活株 CHIK181/25 在人类中表现出高度的免疫原性,但仍有残余的毒力,导致短暂的关节痛。
在这项研究中,我们证明了 1,5 碘代萘基叠氮化物(INA)可完全使 CHIKV181/25 失活。感染 INA 灭活 CHIKV 的细胞未观察到细胞病变效应和病毒复制。然而,通过 Western blot 分析观察到 INA 灭活的 CHIK 病毒-抗体结合能力降低。
INA 完全使 CHIKV 失活,可进一步探索用于开发灭活 CHIKV 疫苗。
