The application belongs to the field of biological
medicine, and provides a method for promoting transient overexpression of exogenous genes in fish based on PEI40000 and application of PEI40000 in enhancing protection rate of fish hemorrhagic
disease virus DNA vaccine. The PEI40000
reagent provided by the application is convenient to store and stable in property; preparation and application operation are simple; the
reagent can be directly added into a culture medium containing serum; the
cost performance is high, and the
reagent is suitable for large-scale
transfection experiments; the application verifies that the method significantly promotes expression of an exogenous
plasmid in fish, and makes the expression
time effect have a higher overexpression level within 1-10 days; and it is also clear that the application significantly enhances the protection effect of the fish hemorrhagic
disease virus DNA vaccine, and significantly improves the
survival rate of diseased fish, and the effect is more significant than that of the common
adjuvant in the prior art, and the application can become an effective
adjuvant for various
DNA vaccines, and has a wide application prospect.
