The Construction And Preliminary Expression Of M And E Proteins Of Infectious Bronchitis Virus Gx-yl5 Strain In Recombinant Baculovirus

Infectious bronchitis(IB),cause by infectious bronchitis virus(IBV),is a highly contagious and infectious disease posing a persistent and serious threat to the poultry industry.The vaccines commonly used for the prevention of IB are deficient in the safety and efficacy.Therefore,the development of safe and efficient new vaccines is very important for the control of IB.Virus-like particles(VLPs)vaccine is a vacant shell structure automatically assembled from one or more structural proteins of the virus and lacks virus nucleic acid.VLP has advantages of high safety and good immunogenicity.Therefore,it is one of important new vaccines.Currently,the research of IBV's VLPs is very limited.Comparing with other expression systems,baculovirus expression system has good capacity of processing post-translation,simultaneous expression of multiple heterologous proteins.Insect cells are susceptible to suspension culture and conducive to mass production.Baculovirus expression system has been widely used in vaccine development.Studies have shown that the introduction of honey bee melittin(HBM)signal peptide recognized by insect cells can mediate heterologous protein expression and enhance recombinant protein expression and glycosylation,and has a natural protein activity.In the present study,the baculovirus expression system introducted of HBM signal peptide was used for the expression or co-expression of M and E protein of IBV strain GX-YL5,which was the representative and dominant serotype strain in Guangxi in order to lay a foundation for further study on IBV's VLPs.The details are as followings.Firstly,the M and E gene of IBV and HBM signal peptide were amplified by the method of fusion PCR.HBM1-M,HBM2-E and HBM 1-E1 were obtained,cloned to T vector and then digested.After identification,HBM1-M,HBM2-E and HBM1-E1 were subcloned to pFastBacTmDual's PH or p10 promoter,transformed to DH10Bac for transposition.The purified recombinant bacmid containing HBM1-M,HBM2-E and HBM 1-E1 gene were obtained after several times of screen.Secondly,the fusion HBM1-M andHBM2-E were connected to T vector and then digested and subcloned to pFastBacTMDual's PH or p10 promoter,transformed to DH10Bac for transposition.The purified recombinant bacmid rHBM-M-E containing M and E genes was obtained after several times of screen.Thirdly,the recombinant bacmids HBM1-M,HBM2-E,HBM 1-E1 and rHBM-M-E were transfected Sf9 insect cells.Indirect immunoinfluscent assay showed that all four recombinant baculovirus were capable of expressing the corresponding proteins in Sf9 cells.In summary,four recombinant baculovirus expression vectors containing IBV GX-YL5 strains M and E gene were constructed and all the corresponding proteins were expressed successfully in Sf9 insect cells in the present study.Our study will lay a good foundation for the study of M and E protein biological function and further study on IBV's VLPs.The innovations of this study are the first time to co-express M and E gene proteins of IB V by baculovirus expression system with the introduction of HBM signal peptide recognized by insect cells and which laid a foundation for preparation of IBV new vaccines.
