บทคัดย่อ

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome caused by Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) remains one of the important diseases in swine industry. A vaccine that is safe, effective and also elicit broad immune response against multiple antigens is desirable. In this study, we developed multi-cistronic DNA vaccines capable of co-expressing multiple structural proteins derived from PRRSV. To preserve the structure and function of each antigen protein, we employed self-cleaving 2A peptides to mediate separation of multiple proteins expressed by multi-cistronic genes. Six bi-cistronic genes encoding PRRSV GP5 and M proteins were generated, by which each construct contains different 2A sequences derived from Foot-and-mouth disease virus (F2A), porcine teschovirus-1 (P2A) and Thosea asigna virus (T2A) either with or without furin cleavage site (Fu). Vectored by the mammalian expression plasmid pTH, all six bi-cistronic genes co-expressed the proteins GP5 and M at comparable level. Importantly, all six types of 2A sequences could mediate a complete self-cleavage of the GP5 and M. We next generated tri-cistronic DNA vaccines co-expressing the PRRSV proteins GP5, M and N. All homologous and heterologous combinations of P2A and F2A in tri-cistronic genes yielded a complete self-cleavage of the GP5, M and N proteins. Our study reports a success in co-expression of multiple PRRSV structural proteins in discrete form from a single vaccine and confirms feasibility of developing one single vaccine that provides broad immune responses against PRRSV. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
