abstract

introduction: in recent years, influenza viruses have caused moderate to severe infections all around the world while so far there is no influenza vaccine that can protect people with only one dose of injection. in this regard, producing a universal vaccine based on virus-like-particles (vlp) could be an ideal approach.  methods: in this study, the full-length orf of influenza hemagglutinin (ha) gene from influenza a virus of h9n2 subtype was amplified by rt-pcr using specific primers to produce ha cdna. the amplicon was cloned firstly into a t/a cloning vector and then was subcloned into a pfastbacdual donor plasmid through sali/hindiii restriction sites.  the recombinant ha-pfastbacdual vector was transferred to escherichia coli dh10bac cells, to insert the ha gene into the bacmid dna via a site-specific transposition process. the recombinant bacmid was then extracted and further analyzed by pcr.  results: our data indicated that the ha-containing recombinant bacmid was constructed successfully using the transposition mechanism between pfastbacdual-ha and the bacmid. conclusion: the recombinant baculovirus construct in this work had proper characteristics to be used in production of h9n2 vlp in sf9 insect cell line in the future studies.

construction of recombinant bacmid dna encoding influenza virus a (h1n1) hemagglutinin gene

objective: influenza virus a (h1n1) is an important subtype of the influenza respiratory viruses, which has important worldwide implications. hemagglutinin (ha), an important viral antigen, is responsible for binding to human cell receptors leading to an onset of the disease process. considering the critical role of viral attachment, this study focuses on the extraction and cloning of ha and it...

Construction of a Recombinant Bacmid DNA to Express Influenza Virus Matrix Protein1 (M1) in Insect Cell Line

Background and Aims: Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. Several studies have reported that the influenza VLPs produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. Due to crucial role of matrix M1 protein in assembly and budding of Influenza particles, in all VLPs structures, M1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...

Construction of Recombinant Bacmid DNA Encoding Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Fusion Protein Gene

Background and Aims: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. Vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. F gene open reading frame (ORF) from NDV is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. The F glycoprotein on the surf...

Bacillus subtilis as a Host for Recombinant Hemagglutinin Production of the Influenza A (H5N1) Virus

Abstract Background and Aims: Influenza A(H5N1) viruses  circulating in animals might evolve and acquire the ability to spread from  human to human and thus start a pandemic. Hemagglutinin (HA) has been shown to play a major role in binding of influenza virus to its target cell and the main neutralizing antibody responses elicit against this region. Recent studies have shown that...
