Abstract:
Objective To construct an infectious full-length cDNA clone of enterovirus 71(EV71)and develop a technological platform for study on vaccine development as well as molecular virology of EV71.Methods According to the nucleotide sequence of EV71 strain 085 isolated in China,four pairs of primers were designed for amplification of four end to end overlapping subgenomic cDNA fragments,the cDNA fragments were directional cloned into pBluescript SK(+)vector,and the virus genome cDNA clone was obtained by ligation orderly.The rescued virus of parental strain 085 from RNA transfected host cells was identified by RT-PCR,IFA,titration as well as transmission electron microscope(TEM)after the transcription of the full-length cDNA clone in vitro.Results The full-length cDNA clone was constructed successfully,and the typical CPE was observed after its transcription into Vero cells.The rescued virus with 20-30 nm in diameter can not only be neutralized by EV71 special anti-serum but also react with anti-EV71 monoclonal antibody that virus infected cells stained with FITC can be detected by IFA.After amplification from the total RNA extraction of virus infected cells by RT-PCR with EV71 special primers,the 226 bp products can be detected.The growth curve showed that the rescued virus can propagate in Vero cells stably with a titer of 4.5 ～6.0 lgCCID50/ml during 8 passages.The plaque formed by rescued virus is identical as parental virus in morphology but smaller in size.Conclusion An infectious full-length clone of EV71 was developed successfully,which will be used for further study on pathogenesis and vaccine development of EV71.
