为评价重组腺病毒融合表达猪瘟病毒(CSFV)E0和E2蛋白的免疫保护效果,本研究以CSFV基因组为馍板.应用RT—PCR扩增E0和E2蛋白的编码基因,通过pET-32a载体将E0和E2基因串联,形成pET—E0-E2重组质粒用KpnI和NotI双酶切pET—E0-E2得到E0-E2融合基因,定向亚克隆于宇梭载体pAdTrack—CMV中,采用“两步转化法”在细菌内同源重组,构建携带E0-E2基因的重组腺病毒转移载体质粒pAdEasy—E0-E2,经PacI酶切线性化后转染人胚胎肾细,Ig(HEK293),成功包装出重组腺病毒(rAd—E0-E2),PCR和westernblot捡测表明,E0-E2基因已重组于昧病毒基因组中并获得表达将rAd—E0-E2接种于小鼠和猪,并通过ELISA进行抗体检测另外,将tAd—E0.E2经肌肉2次(间隔7d)免疫接种6周龄~7周龄猪,3周后用10 3TCID50 CSFV石门株攻毒结果表明,rAd-E0-E2免疫组6/7头存活,各组织器官带毒时间不超过10d,而非重组腺病毒rAd—CMV免疫组和空白对照组全部死亡,各组织器官均能分离到CSFV,结果提示,rAd—E0-E2能使免疫猪抵抗CSFV强毒攻击,为进一步研制猪瘟基因工程疫苗提供了实验依据.
A recombinant adenovirus rAd-E0-E2 fusion-expressing the E0 and E2 gene of atypical classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was constructed by cloning CSFV E0 and E2 genes into the adenoviral shuttle plasmid pAdTrack-CMV and transfected into 293 cells. The integration of E0-E2 gene in the recombinant adenovirus genome was confirmed by PCR, and the expression of E0-E2 protein in 293 cells was detected by western blot. Pigs were administered with rAd-E0-E2 intramascularly two times at a 7 days interval followed by challenge with 10 3 TCID50 of CSFV Shimen strain 3 weeks later. The results showed that 6/7 of the pigs vaccinated with rAd-E0-E2 were protected, and the persistence of CSFV in organs was less than 10 days. None of the pigs vaccinated with the human adenovirus (rAd-CMV) and DMEM survived. These results demonstrated that the recombinant adenovirus rAd-E0-E2 constructed in this study could induce effective protection in pigs against CSFV challenge, which provided a reference for the development of CSF genetic engineering vaccine.
