RESUMO
In order to explore the possibility of human adenovirus infection with tree shrews,the neutralizing antibody ti-ters of five kinds of human adenoviruses (HAdv)in the serum of tree shrews were analyzed.The levels of Ad3,Ad4,Ad7, Ad14 and Ad55 neutralizing antibody were detected by virus neutralization test.The results showed that the positive rate of four adenoviruses in group B were higher than Ad4 in group E,and the positive rates respectively were Ad14 (55.88%),Ad3 (47.06%),Ad55 (29.71%),Ad7 (14.71%)and Ad4 (8.82%).The antiserum mainly mixed with Ad3,Ad14 and Ad55 anti-body.Five species of human adenovirus can be naturally infected with tree shrews.Tree shrews are used as experimental ani-mals to establish human adenovirus infection model is alternative.
RESUMO
The limitation of traditional Ad vectors result in wide application of capsid-incorporation of antigens into adenovirus capsid proteins, but usually it can't rescue virus successfully when we engineered the hypervariable regions (HVRs) of hexon in adenovirus serotype 3(Ad3) vector. So we deleted or retained some amino acids in HVR1, HVR2, HVR5, HVR7 predicted by bioinformatics, constructed recombinant Ad3 vector pBRAddeltaE3GFP-mHexon, and transfected it into AD293 cell to confirm the influence on the virus rescue. These data of amino acids that can be deleted or retained in the HVRs of Ad3 vector should provide operating foundation for antigen capsid-incorporation strategy in human adenovirus serotype 3, and also lay the groundwork for application of expressing foreign antigens in the hexon of human adenovirus serotype 3 as a platform of multivalent vaccine vectors.
