Pseudo-infectious yellow fever viral particles (YFV-PIVs) have been used to study vaccines and viral packaging. Here, we report the development of a packaging cell line, which expresses the YFV prM/E proteins.
HEK293 cells were transfected with YFV prM/E and C (84 nt) genes to generate HEK293-YFV-PrM/E-opt. The cells were evaluated for their ability to express the heterologous proteins and to package the replicon repYFV-17D-LucIRES, generating YFV-PIVs.
The expression of prM/E proteins was confirmed, and the cell line trans-packaged the replicon for recovery of a reporter for the YFV-PIVs.
HEK293-YFV-prM/E-opt trans-packaging capacity demonstrates its possible biotechnology application.
伪感染性黄热病毒颗粒(YFV-PIVs)已被用于研究疫苗和病毒包装。在此,我们报告了一种表达YFV prM/E蛋白的包装细胞系的开发。
将YFV prM/E和C(84个核苷酸)基因转染至HEK293细胞中,以产生HEK293-YFV-PrM/E-opt。评估这些细胞表达异源蛋白以及包装复制子repYFV-17D-LucIRES以产生YFV-PIVs的能力。
证实了prM/E蛋白的表达,并且该细胞系对复制子进行了反式包装,以回收YFV-PIVs的报告基因。
HEK293-YFV-prM/E-opt的反式包装能力证明了其在生物技术方面的潜在应用。
