Abstract
Introduction Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes high abortion rates in gestating sows and stillbirths, as well as high piglet mortality, seriously jeopardizing the pig industry in China and worldwide. Methods In this study, an infectious clone containing the full-length genome of NADC34-like PRRSV was constructed for the first time using reverse genetic techniques. The gene was amplified segmentally onto a plasmid, transfected into BHK-21 cells, and the transfected supernatant was harvested and transfected into PAM cells, which showed classical cytopathic effects (CPE). Results The virus rJS-KS/2021 was successfully rescued which could be demonstrated by Western Blot and indirect immunofluorescence assays. Its growth curve was similar to the original strain. Replace the 5'UTR and 3'UTR of rJS-KS/2021 with 5'UTR and 3'UTR of HP-PRRSV (strain SH1) also failed to propagate on MARC-145. Discussion In this study, an infectious clone of NADC34-like was constructed by reverse genetics, replacing the UTR and changing the cellular tropism of the virus. These findings provide a solid foundation for studying the recombination of different PRRSVs and the adaption of PRRSVs on MARC-145 in the future.

Zhang H, Ren J, Li J, Zhai C, Mao F, Yang S, Zhang Q, Liu Z, Fu X. Comparison of heterologous prime-boost immunization strategies with DNA and recombinant vaccinia virus co-expressing GP3 and GP5 of European type porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in pigs. Microb Pathog 2023; 183:106328. [PMID: 37661073 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2023.106328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Vaccination is principally used to control and treat porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. This study investigated immunogenicity and protective efficacy of heterologous prime-boost regimens in pigs, including recombinant DNA and vaccinia virus vectors coexpressing PRRSV European genotype (EU) isolate GP3 and GP5: group A, pVAX1-EU-GP3-GP5 prime and rddVTT-EU-GP3-GP5 boost; group B, rddVTT-EU-GP3-GP5 prime and pVAX1-EU-GP3-GP5 boost; group C, empty vector pVAX1; group D, E3L gene-deleted vaccinia virus E3L- VTT. Vaccine efficacy was tested in an EU-type PRRSV (Lelystad virus strain) challenge pig model based on evaluating PRRSV-specific antibody responses, neutralizing antibodies, cytokines, T lymphocyte proliferation, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, clinical symptoms, viremia and tissue virus loads. Plasmid DNA was delivered as chitosan-DNA nanoparticles, and Quil A (Quillaja) was used to increase vaccine efficiency. All piglets were boosted 21 days post the initial inoculation (dpi) and then challenged 14 days later. At 14, 21, 28 and 35 dpi, groups A and B developed significantly higher PRRSV-specific antibody responses compared with control groups C and D. Two weeks after the boost, significant differences in neutralizing antibody and IFN-γ levels were observed between groups A, C, D and B. At 49 dpi, groups A and B had markedly increased peripheral blood CD3+CD4+ T cell levels. Following virus challenge, group A showed viremia, but organ virus loads were lower than those in other groups. Thus, a heterologous prime-boost vaccine regimen (rddVTT-EU-GP3-GP5 prime, pVAX1-EU-GP3-GP5 boost) can improve humoral- and cell-mediated immune responses to provide resistance to EU-type PRRSV infection in vivo.

Cao Z, Chen J, Li L, Liu J, Tong W, Zhou Y, Tong G, Wang G, Gao F. A rescued NADC30-like virus by reverse genetic manipulation exhibits moderate virulence and a promising application perspective. Virus Res 2022; 316:198801. [PMID: 35550390 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2022.198801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
NADC30-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which is highly homologous to the NADC30 strain isolated in the United States. The NADC30-like PRRSV was first reported in 2014 in China, where it spread and gradually caused an epidemic. Currently, growing research has shown that NADC30-like strains have greater propensity to recombine with other PRRSV strains, particularly the PPRSV vaccine virus used clinically, making the prevention and control of PRRSV highly complex. To carry out an in-depth molecular biology and virulence analysis, a full-length infectious clone of the NADC30-like strain was successfully constructed and rescued by reverse genetic manipulation. The rescued virus, rZJqz, was indistinguishable from its parental virus, ZJqz21, based on virological characteristics. Further animal experiments demonstrated that rZJqz retained similar pathogenicity and induced the typical clinical symptoms and viral shedding observed in the ZJqz21 challenge model. Together, these results provide a useful tool for further study of the biological characteristics and pathogenicity of NADC30-like strains. Moreover, these findings also provide a solid foundation for studying the recombination of different PRRSVs and developing new and effective universal vaccines in the future.
