Construction, characterization and stability analysis of infectious clone of live attenuated dengue virus type 4 Ban18HK20 strain
Objective
To construct a stable infectious clone of live attenuated dengue virus (DENV) type 4 Ban18HK20 strain for better understanding the virulence determinants of DENV and improving the development of chimeric vaccines.
Methods
Specific primers were constructed according to the genome of Ban18HK20 strain and used to subclone six cDNA fragments, which were linked into a high-copy plasmid pSPTM to obtain a stable full-length cDNA clone of DENV. RNA was transcribed from the full-length cDNA in vitro and electrotransfected into Vero cells to recover the virus. Biological characteristics of the recovered virus were identified using plaque assay, indirect immunofluorescence assay, growth kinetics test and pathogenicity study in mouse brain. Genetic stability of the virus passaged 15 generations was studied using RT-PCR amplification.
Results
Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis indicated that the infectious clone was constructed successfully. The recovered virus was consistent with the parental virus in terms of plaque morphology, DENV E protein expression, growth characteristics and pathogenicity in mouse brain. Sequencing analysis showed that the recovered virus had the same genome sequence as the parental virus with good hereditary stability.
Conclusions
A stable infection clone of Ban18HK20 was constructed and a reverse genetics technology platform for DENV research was established.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology established in 1981. It is one of the series of journal sponsored by Chinese Medical Association. The aim of this journal is to spread and exchange the scientific achievements and practical experience in order to promote the development of medical microbiology and immunology. Its main contents comprise academic thesis, brief reports, reviews, summaries, news of meetings, book reviews and trends of home and abroad in this field. The distinguishing feature of the journal is to give the priority to the reports on the research of basic theory, and take account of the reports on clinical and practical skills.
