baculoviral co-expression of ha, na and m1 proteins of highly pathogenic h5n1 influenza virus in insect cells
Authors
abstract
conclusions: the recombinant baculovirus constructed in this work has proper characteristics to produce h5n1 influenza virus-like particles in sf9 cells. results: restriction map of pfastbacihnm1 plasmid confirmed the fidelity of the clone. the pcr carried out on the recombinant bacmids as template indicated that a proper homologous recombination has occurred between pfastbacihnm1 donor plasmid and the bacmid. following the transfection of new recombinant bacmids to sf9 cells, cytopathic effects were observed which indicating the successful packaging of recombinant baculovirus. protein analysis of the infected sf9 cells showed that all target proteins were efficiently expressed at the same time. background: highly pathogenic h5n1 influenza virus is causing damages to the poultry industry and is responsible for loss of human lives. vaccination is the most effective method to prevent and control influenza infections. recombinant virus-like particles (vlps) by baculovirus expression vector system have been suggested as a promising platform for new viral vaccines. objectives: in this study we constructed a recombinant baculovirus that was potent to express influenza structural proteins; haemagglutinin (ha) and neuraminidase (na) as well as matrix protein (m1) which is essential to generate immunogenic vlps in insect cells. materials and methods: a triplet cassette providing simultaneous and independent expression of ha, na and m1 genes of avian influenza virus (a/indonesia/5/05(h5n1)) was designed and subjected to synthesis. the cassette was then cloned into pfastbac1 plasmid and then transformed in to competent escherichia coli dh10bac cells and the recombinant bacmids were produced following the homologous tn7 site-specific transposition. this construction was verified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and then transfected into sf9 insect cells to package new recombinant baculovirus expressing complex proteins of the interest.

Baculoviral Expression of Influenza A Virus (H1N1 New Caledonia) Neuraminidase in Insect Cells
Background and Aims: Each year, the influenza virus causes moderate to severe infections with a high prevalence throughout the world. Accordingly, an influenza vaccine that ensures protection with only a single dose would be a much more cost effective approach to influenza prophylaxis. Generation of Influenza non-replicating virus-like particles (VLP) in baculoviral expression system is an attr...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 previously known to infect only birds was also found to infect human, causing disease and death. Continuous outbreaks of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza A resulted in an urgent effort to improve treatments, vaccines, and diagnosis to lower the threat of an influenza pandemic. Control measures and continuous surveillance aimed at reducing exposur...

In the February 2006 in two wetlands in northern Iran, the mortality among wild swans was observed. Paralysis was the most prominent feature of the disease. Histologically, diffused necrosis of acinar cells in pancreas, degeneration and necrosis of some neurons in central nervous system (CNS), sever necrotic and hemorrhagic enteritis, foci of haemorrahge and myocardial cell necrosis in the he...

To determine resistance of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus to chlorination, we exposed allantoic fluid containing 2 virus strains to chlorinated buffer at pH 7 and 8, at 5 degrees C. Free chlorine concentrations typically used in drinking water treatment are sufficient to inactivate the virus by >3 orders of magnitude.
