ABSTRACT
To enhance the DNA immunogencity of PRRSV ORF5 gene, CpG sequence and the universal helper T cell antigen epitope (PADRE) sequence were inserted between the decoy epitope and the neutralizing epitope. At the same time, site-mutations were introduced at N33 and N51 to diminish the coverage effect to epitope B from the polysaccharides. Subsequently, the modified ORF5 gene (MORF5) and PRRSV ORF6 gene were cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.0 under the control of two CMV promoters, respectively. With indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western-blot the expression in vitro of the two genes was confirmed, then six-week-old Balb/C mouse were immunized with the modified expression plasmid pcDNA-M5A-6A. The non-modified expression plasmid pcDNA-5A-6A, the blank eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.0, living attenuated vaccine and inactivated vaccine were used as controls. The PRRSV specific neutralizing antibodies and the T cell proliferation response were elevated with virus neutralization assay and MTf method. Results indicate that the modified plasmid pcDNA-M5A-6A can elicit not only higher titer of neutralizing antibodies in a rapid time, but also more vigorous T cell proliferation response compared with the non-modified plasmid pcDNA-5A-6A and commercial vaccines, indicating that DNA vaccine pcDNA-M5A-6A maybe a promising candidate for PRRS prevention.
