Abstract

Abstract: C-strain (also known as HCLV strain) of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a lapinized live attenuated vaccine against classical swine fever (CSF). However, C-strain lacks the capacity for the serological differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA). The purpose of this study is to insert the gene encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into CSFV C-strain to construct a reporter virus, and to provide a virus tracing tool for basic research of C-strain, and also to provide a method for constructing C-strain marker vaccine. Here, we constructed and characterized two reporter viruses based on C-strain. One is the reporter virus rHCLV-EGFP, which expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fused in frame with the N^pro protein. The other one is the chimeric reporter virus rHCLV-N^pro(SM)-EGFP in which the N^pro gene is replaced with the counterpart of the highly virulent CSFV Shimen (SM) strain in the context of C-strain. The researchers identified the rescued reporter viruses by ELISA kit for CSFV antigen, observing the fluorescence directly and detecting the EGFP protein by Western blot, as well as evaluated the biological characteristics of these two reporter viruses in cells and rabbits. The antigens of the two reporter viruses were positive by ELISA. The reporter virus rHCLV-EGFP remained viable but not fluorescent, containing an intact EGFP gene but expressed as an N^pro-EGFP fusion protein with unexpected size. Interestingly, the EGFP fluorescence was restored in the chimeric reporter virus rHCLV-N^pro(SM)-EGFP. The experiment in cells showed that the two reporter viruses had similar growth characteristics to the parental virus and retained genetic stability. Furthermore, the animal experiment in rabbits revealed that rHCLV-N^pro(SM)-EGFP exhibited similar biological properties to the parental virus C-strain, while rHCLV-EGFP lost the ability to induce the fever response of C-strain in rabbits. In this study, the chimeric reporter virus rHCLV-N^pro (SM)-EGFP is able to be used as the reporter virus of C-strain. It can be used for virus tracing to study the replication process of the C-strain and the interaction between the virus and cells. The chimeric reporter virus also has the potential for a marker vaccine, which has the DIVA capability by detecting the anti-EGFP antibody.
