Abstract:
Objective To construct a recombinant human adenovirus type 3 ( HAd3 ) vector ex-pressing one major epitope of dengue virus type 1.Methods The gene encoding the envelope protein (304-314 aa) of dengue virus type 1 was inserted into the hypervariable region 1 ( HVR1 ) of HAd3 hexon by using overlap PCR.The recombinant gene was cloned into the shuttle plasmid, then linearized with AsisⅠrestriction enzyme and co-transformed into Escherichia coli BJ5183 strains with the digested backbone plas-mid for homologous recombination.The recombinant plasmid pBRAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 was transfected into AD293 cells to rescue recombinant adenovirus strains (rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1).ELISA and Western blot as-say were performed to evaluate the humoral responses induced in BALB/c mice after the immunization with rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 strains.Results The recombinant adenovirus strains were successfully rescued. ELISA and Western blot assay showed that the antibodies in serum sample could recognize dengue virus type 1 strains.Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus strains expressing the epitope of dengue virus type 1 were successfully constructed.This study provided evidence for the development of multivalent vaccines against dengue virus.
