Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), a member of the Coronaviridae family has become increasingly probelmatic in the pig farming industry. Currently, there are no effective, globally applicable vaccines against PEDV. Here, we tested a recombinant PEDV vaccine candidate based on the expression of the core neutralising epitope (COE) of PEDV conjugated to polymeric immunoglobulin G scaffold (PIGS) in glycoengineered plants. The biological activity of COE-PIGS was demonstrated by binding to C1q component of the complement system, as well as the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) The recombinant COE-PIGS induced humoral and cellular immune responses specific for PEDV after both systemic and mucosal vaccination. Altogether, the data indicated that PEDV antigen fusion to poly-Fc could be a promising vaccine platform against respiratory PEDV infection.
猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)是冠状病毒科的成员,在养猪业中已变得越来越成问题。目前,尚无针对PEDV的有效、全球适用的疫苗。在此,我们测试了一种重组PEDV候选疫苗,该疫苗基于在糖工程植物中表达与聚合免疫球蛋白G支架(PIGS)缀合的PEDV核心中和表位(COE)。COE-PIGS的生物活性通过与补体系统的C1q成分以及抗原呈递细胞(APC)表面结合来证明。重组COE-PIGS在全身和黏膜接种后均诱导了针对PEDV的体液和细胞免疫反应。总之,数据表明PEDV抗原与多聚Fc融合可能是对抗呼吸道PEDV感染的一个有前景的疫苗平台。
