Abstract:

This study was aimed to explore the use of baculovirus expression system to secrete peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) F gene protein and use it as subunit vaccine. The gene fragment encoding F protein of PPRV was cloned into the baculovirus pFastBac Ⅰ transfer vector with a honeybee melittin signal peptide.The constructed F-pFastBac was transformed into Escherichia coli DH10Bac,resulting the recombinant baculovirus DNA (F-Bacmid) which was confirmed by blue-white plaque assay and antibiotic resistance selection.The F-Bacmid was then transfected into Sf9 insect cells by the cellfectin transfection reagent.The recombinant F protein was expressed in High Five cells in the serum-free medium.The SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis of recombinant protein showed that the protein could be expressed in insect cells and secreted into the culture medium. For the immunogenicity study,the recombinant protein was then inoculated into BALB/c mice, the results showed that the recombinant protein was able to stimulate B cells to produce special antibodies. In conclusions,the recombinant baculovirus expressing F protein of PPRV were successfully constructed.This study applied a basis for the development of PPRV subunit vaccine.
