Feline calicivirus capsid protein expression and capsid assembly in cultured feline cells.
The capsid protein of feline calicivirus (FCV) was expressed by using plasmids containing cytomegalovirus, simian virus 40, or T7 promoters. The strongest expression was achieved with the T7 promoter and coinfection with vaccinia virus expressing the T7 RNA polymerase (MVA/T7pol). The FCV precursor capsid protein was processed to the mature-size protein, and these proteins were assembled in to ...
متن کاملThe cloning, sequencing and expression of a major antigenic region from the feline calicivirus capsid protein.
RNA purified from the feline calicivirus (FCV) F9 vaccine strain was used to prepare a cDNA library in the expression vector lambda gt11. The library was screened for expression of FCV antigen using a rabbit antiserum prepared against purified FCV. A 330 bp cDNA clone was identified and used as a probe to obtain a larger overlapping clone of 1369 bp. Comparative sequence analysis with the CFI a...
متن کاملCold argon-oxygen plasma species oxidize and disintegrate capsid protein of feline calicivirus
Possible mechanisms that lead to inactivation of feline calicivirus (FCV) by cold atmospheric-pressure plasma (CAP) generated in 99% argon-1% O2 admixture were studied. We evaluated the impact of CAP exposure on the FCV viral capsid protein and RNA employing several cultural, molecular, proteomic and morphologic characteristics techniques. In the case of long exposure (2 min) to CAP, the reacti...
متن کاملAnalysis of feline calicivirus capsid protein genes: identification of variable antigenic determinant regions of the protein.
Three isolates of feline calicivirus (FCV) designated NADC, KCD and CFI/68 were compared for biochemical, serological and genetic variation within the capsid protein gene. The M(r) of the capsid protein from purified virions was approximately 66,000 for the NADC virus isolate, which differed slightly from the relative mobilities of the purified capsid proteins of the KCD and CFI/68 isolates. Po...
متن کاملLocation of monoclonal antibody binding sites in the capsid protein of feline calicivirus.
We report the localization of three monoclonal antibody (MAb) binding sites in the capsid protein of feline calicivirus. Gene fragments were generated by restriction enzyme digestion or the polymerase chain reaction, and expressed as beta-galactosidase fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. These chimeric molecules were screened using three MAbs. A non-neutralizing MAb recognized a region within ...
