Construction of a Recombinant Infectious Clone of HCoV-OC43

ABSTRACT Objective: To construct an infectious clone of HCoV-OC43 carrying the green fluorescent protein reporter gene. Methods: The whole genome sequence of the HCoV-OC43 infectious clone carrying the green fluorescent protein reporter gene was designed and synthesized into 32 segments. The segments were then assembled into 8 fragments by fusion PCR. Recombinant plasmids were obtained by reverse genetics using transformation-associated recombination cloning in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into HEK-293T cells for virus rescue. The virus rescue was confirmed by infecting cells with the collected supernatants from transfected cells. Results: HCoV-OC43 recombinant virus carrying the green fluorescent protein was successfully rescued from infectious clone transfected cells. Conclusion: HCoV-OC43 infectious clone carrying the green fluorescent protein can be obtained using transformation-associated recombination cloning method. The infectious clone provides an effective tool in basic and applied research on human coronaviruses.
