利用反向遗传操作技术产生ZJI株鹅源新城疫病毒

利用反向遗传操作技术,将ZJI株鹅源新城疫病毒全基因组cNDA克隆(NDV3GM122)和含该毒株NP、P及L基因的3个表达载体(pCI-NP、pCI-P与pCI-L)共转染BSR-T7/5细胞;同时,将NDV3GM122与含新城疫病毒La Sota毒株NP、P及L基因的3个表达载体(pCIneoNP、pCIneoP与pCIneoL)进行共转染。通过间接免疫荧光实验(Indiectimmunofluorescence assay,IFA)以及接种鸡胚后进行血凝(Hemagglutinin,HA)与血凝抑制(Hemagglutinininhibition,HI)试验、RT-PCR扩增和电镜观察,结果均证实全基因组cDNA克隆NDV3GM122与La Sota毒株表达载体共转染组产生了有血凝性的鹅源新城疫病毒,而NDV3GM122与ZJI株表达载体共转染组暂未检测到有血凝性的病毒。ZJI株鹅源新城疫病毒的拯救成功为对该病毒进行功能基因组研究和疫苗的研制等后续工作打下了基础。

Generation of Newcastle disease virus strain ZJI isolated from an outbreak in the goose using reverse genetics technique

The full-length cDNA clone, NDV3GM122, and the three helperplasmids pCI-NP, pCI-P and pCI-L of Newcastle disease virus strain ZJI isolated from an outbreak in the goose were cotransfected into BSR-T7/5 cell expressing T7 RNA polymerase. Meanwhile, the full-length cDNA clone NDV3GM122 and the three helperplasmids, pCIneoNP, pCIneoP and pCIneoL which were derived from NDV strain La Sota, were also cotransfected into the cell, respectively. Indiect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was performed 48 to 96 hours post-transfection using NDV HN-specific monoclonal anbtibody (McAb) 6B1 and bright stainings were found in the transfectants, indicating that the full-length clone was functional and the HN protein was expressed. The transfected cell and the supernatant were mixed well and thereafter the mixture was inoculated into specific pathogen free (SPF) chicken eggs. The allanotoic fluid of the injected eggs gave a positive hemagglutinin(HA) titer ranging from 16 to 32 in the secondary passage and increased to 128 in the third passage, which was same to the level of parent wild-type virus. The allantoic fluid containing the recovered NDV was analyzed in hemagglutination inhibition(HI) test by using McAb 6B1 and the specific inhibition was found. The typical morphology of the produced NDV was detected in the electronic microscope. The results mentioned above demonstrated that infectious NDV of strain ZJI was successfully generated, which laid good foundation for the further related research.
