Abstract: To seek out proteins which interact with structural proteins of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in Vero E6 cells and study the mechanisms of viral infection.We created a Vero E6 cDNA yeast hybrid library. The total RNA of Vero E6 was extracted using Trizol method, and double strands cDNA was synthesized by SMART technique. We created a Vero E6 cDNA library by using homologous recombination in yeast. The results showed that the titer of cDNA library was 9.7×108 CFU with the average of inserted fragments about 1.6 kb, and the recombination rate was 87%. These data indicated that the yeast two-hybrid cDNA library of Vero E6 was successfully constructed and might be useful for screening the host proteins interacting with structure protein of PEDV.
