ABSTRACT
We constructed a recombinant plasmid encoding VP1 gene of O type foot-and-mouth disease virus fused to a molecular adjuvant, goat complement C3d gene. The goat C3d gene was cloned and three copies were tandem-linked with the linker (G4S)2 sequence. VP1 gene of O type foot-and-mouth disease virus was linked to three tandem repeats of C3d through the linker sequence and cloned into pUC19 to obtain the recombinant plasmid pUC19-VP1-C3d3. The VP1-C3d3 fusion gene was then subcloned into the eukaryotic vector pcDNA3.1(+) that had been modified to contain the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) leader sequence to obtain pcDNA3.1-tPA-VP1-C3d3. HeLa cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-tPA-VP1-C3d3 by Lipofectamine 2000. Indirect immunofluorescent assay and Western blot assay showed that VP1-C3d3 fusion gene was successfully expressed in HeLa cells. The fusion protein with the expected size 133 kD could be secreted outside the cells. This study laid a good foundation to further research on the novel vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease virus by using goat C3d as a molecular adjuvant to enhance the immunogenicity of VP1.
