Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly to the construction and application of a genetically attenuated marker vaccine strain rMG7-L-V1291I of Newcastle disease virus genotype VII. Background Art

[0002] Newcastle disease is an acute and highly contagious disease of poultry caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which has caused great economic losses to the poultry industry in China. Commonly used Newcastle disease vaccine strains mainly include LaSota strain and B1 strain, etc. These vaccine strains do not match the genotypes of the main epidemic strains in China. Although they can provide certain immune protection for chicken flocks, they cannot effectively reduce virus excretion, and are prone to cause atypical Newcastle disease symptoms in chicken flocks. Genetically attenuated vaccine strains of genotype VII NDV such as A-VII rDHN3-mF and KBNP-C4152R2L can be used to prevent and control epidemic chicken Newcastle disease and effectively reduce virus excretion in chicken flocks. Among them, A-VII strain has been widely used in the market as an inactivated vaccine, but there is currently no genetically attenuated marker vaccine of genotype VII Newcastle disease.

[0003] The growth performance of NDV is jointly regulated by multiple viral proteins, among which the receptor-binding domain of HN protein, the glycosylation site of F protein, and the functional domain of L protein all play key roles.

[0004] In the prior art, no genetically attenuated marker vaccine strain rMG7-L-V1291I of genotype VII Newcastle disease required to be protected by the present invention has been found. Summary of the Invention

[0247] To further optimize the growth performance of the attenuated marker vaccine against Newcastle disease virus genotype VII (MG7 strain), the present invention screened out the differential sites by comparing the amino acid sequences of the key regions of the F, HN, and L proteins between the MG7 strain and the La Sota strain with good growth performance, and rescued the MG7 mutant virus. By measuring the hemagglutination (HA) titer and virus growth titer of the rescued virus, a mutant virus with significantly better growth performance than the MG7 strain was finally screened out and named rMG7-L-V1291I, with an HA titer of 1:512 and a virus titer of approximately 10 9.5 EID 50 / mL. The results of genetic stability tests and virus virulence determinations showed that this MG7 mutant virus had good genetic stability and was an attenuated strain (the average lethal time of chicken embryos ≥ 120 h, and the intracerebral pathogenicity index of 1-day-old chickens ≤ 0.7).

[0304] 1.4. Construction of MG7 Mutant Plasmids

[0305] Using the pCAGGS-MG7-cDNA whole-genome plasmid as a template, site-directed mutagenesis was performed on the differential amino acid sites of each structural protein of the MG7 strain. The specific method is as follows. First, PCR amplify the upstream and downstream DNA fragments of the mutation site. After gel extraction of the upstream and downstream DNA fragments, mix them in equimolar amounts as a template, and perform Overlap PCR to amplify the full-length DNA mutation fragment (Tables 2 and 3). Double-digest the full-length DNA mutation fragment and the pCAGGS-MG7-cDNA whole-genome plasmid, gel extract the digested plasmid and the target fragment, and use T4 DNA ligase to ligate the digested plasmid and the fragment overnight in a 16°C metal bath. Transform the ligation product into DH5α competent cells. After adding 500 μL of LB liquid medium and culturing at 37°C for 30 min, take an appropriate amount of the culture solution and spread it on an LB solid medium plate (ampicillin-resistant), and culture overnight at 37°C. Pick monoclonal colonies from the solid plate and inoculate them into 5 mL of LB liquid medium (ampicillin-resistant), and culture overnight at 37°C. After the culture is completed, extract the MG7 mutant plasmid in small amounts, and use nucleic acid electrophoresis to identify whether the MG7 mutant plasmid is successfully ligated. Send the suspected successfully ligated MG7 mutant plasmid to the company for sequencing, and use the positive plasmid for the rescue of the MG7 mutant virus.

[0311] 1.5. Rescue of the MG7 mutant virus

[0312] When the density of BHK-21F cells in the cell plate is about 70%, discard the supernatant of the cell culture medium, add 1 mL of Opti-MEM, and pre-infect BHK-21F cells with recombinant vaccinia virus VVT7 (0.01 MOI) for 1 h. Co-transfect BHK-21 cells with the MG7 mutant plasmid and three helper plasmids (pBSK-NP, pBSK-P, and pBSK-L). Place the transfected cell plate in a 37°C cell culture incubator containing 5% CO2 and culture for 72 h. Freeze-thaw the cells in the cell plate once, filter the cell culture through a 0.22 μm filter, and inoculate all of it into 9- to 11-day-old SPF chicken embryos. Place the SPF chicken embryos sealed with wax in a 37°C incubator and continue to incubate for 3 d. After incubating for 3 d, aspirate the allantoic fluid of the chicken embryos for the HA test, and collect the allantoic fluid of the chicken embryos with positive HA test results for sequencing and identification.

[0313] 1.6. Detection of the genetic stability of the MG7 mutant virus

[0314] Dilute the MG7 mutant virus 10-fold with sterile PBS, then inoculate it into 9- to 11-day-old SPF chicken embryos and continuously passage it in the chicken embryos until the 15th passage. Extract the RNA of the MG7 mutant virus at the 5th, 10th, and 15th passages according to the steps of the virus RNA extraction kit instruction manual. Amplify the DNA fragment containing the mutation site by RT-PCR, recover the target fragment by gel extraction, and send it to the company for sequencing. Use SeqMan software to analyze the sequencing results and verify the genetic stability of the MG7 mutant virus. 5

[0315] 1.7 Determination of the virulence of the MG7 mutant virus

[0316] Refer to the WOAH standard and determine the virulence of the MG7 mutant virus through two indicators, MDT and ICPI.

[0323] 1.9 Detection of the replication ability of the attenuated strain in vivo after immunizing SPF chickens

[0324] On the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th days after immunizing SPF chickens, collect throat and cloacal swabs from SPF chickens in each vaccine immunization group, put them into 500 μL of PBS containing double antibodies, shake vigorously and mix well, and then let stand for 30 min. Centrifuge the supernatant of the swab leaching solution and inoculate it into 9 - 11-day-old chicken embryos, inoculating 3 embryos for each dilution gradient, 100 μL / embryo. After incubating in an incubator at 37 °C for 48 h, measure the HA titer of the allantoic fluid of the chicken embryos. If the HA titer ≥ 1:16, the swab is determined to be virus-excreting, and finally calculate the virus excretion rate.

[0325] 1.10 Detection of HI antibody titers after immunizing SPF chickens

[0326] First, add 25 μL of PBS to the hemagglutination plate, then add 25 μL of the detection antigen and serially dilute it 2-fold, then add 25 μL of PBS, and finally add 25 μL of 1% chicken red blood cell suspension. Shake well and let stand for 15 min, and read the HA titer. Prepare 4-unit antigen according to the HA titer of the detection antigen. First, add 25 μL of PBS to the hemagglutination plate, then add 25 μL of the serum to be tested and serially dilute it 2-fold, then add 25 μL of 4-unit detection antigen, shake well and let stand for 15 min, and finally add 25 μL of 1% chicken red blood cell suspension. Shake well and let stand for 15 min, and read the HI titer of the serum to be tested.

[0327] 1.11 Detection of the virus excretion level after challenging SPF chickens

[0328] On the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th days after challenging SPF chickens, collect swabs from SPF chickens in each vaccine immunization group, put them into 1 mL of PBS containing double antibodies, shake vigorously and mix well, and then let stand for 30 min. Continuously dilute the supernatant of the swab leaching solution 10-fold serially and inoculate it into 9 - 11-day-old chicken embryos, inoculating 3 embryos for each dilution gradient, 100 μL / embryo. After incubating in an incubator at 37 °C for 48 h, measure the HA titer of the allantoic fluid of the chicken embryos. If the HA titer ≥ 1:16, the swab is determined to be virus-excreting, and finally calculate the virus content of the swab.

[0329] 1.12 Detection of the virus-carrying situation in various organs after challenging SPF chickens

[0330] On the 3rd and 5th days after immunization and challenge of SPF chickens, 3 SPF chickens in each group were randomly and painlessly sacrificed. Six kinds of organs, namely liver, spleen, kidney, bursa of Fabricius, pancreas and small intestine, were collected, added with PBS containing double antibodies, and then 2 autoclaved steel beads were added. The tissues were homogenized at low temperature for 10 min using a high-throughput tissue grinder. After homogenization, the centrifugal supernatant was taken and serially diluted 10-fold and inoculated into 9- to 11-day-old chicken embryos. 3 embryos were inoculated at each dilution gradient, 100 μL / embryo. After incubation in an incubator at 37 °C for 48 h, the HA titer of the allantoic fluid of the chicken embryos was measured. If the HA titer ≥ 1:16, the organ was determined to contain the virus, and finally the virus content in the organ was calculated.

[0331] 2. Results and Analysis

[0332] 2.1. Rescue and Growth Characteristics Analysis of MG7 Mutant Viruses

[0333] Using the pCAGGS-MG7-cDNA full-genome plasmid as a template, the full-length DNA fragment containing the mutation site was amplified by PCR. After steps such as double digestion, ligation, transformation, and sequencing identification, this study successfully constructed multiple MG7 mutant plasmids.

[0334] The allantoic fluid of chicken embryos with positive HA test results was collected, the rescued virus RNA was extracted, and the target fragment containing the amino acid site mutation was amplified by RT-PCR and sent to the company for sequencing. The sequencing results showed that the amino acid site mutation of the rescued MG7 mutant virus was successful.

[0335] The MG7 mutant virus was serially passaged in 9- to 11-day-old chicken embryos. By measuring the HA titer and virus titer of the MG7 mutant virus, this study finally screened out three mutant viruses with better growth performance than the MG7 strain and named them rMG7-F-N471A, rMG7-HN-G256E, and rMG7-L-V1291I (as shown in Table 5).

[0338]

[0339] 2.2. Genetic Stability Analysis of MG7 Mutant Viruses

[0340] Extract the allantoic fluid RNA of the 5th, 10th, and 15th generations of the rMG7-F-N471A, rMG7-HN-G256E, and rMG7-L-V1291I MG7 mutant viruses, amplify the mutant fragments by RT-PCR and sequence them. The sequencing results showed that the mutant sites of the three MG7 mutant viruses, rMG7-F-N471A, rMG7-HN-G256E, and rMG7-L-V1291I, could be stably inherited after continuous passage to the 15th generation in 9- to 11-day-old SPF chicken embryos, and no reverse mutations occurred (as ​ , ​ and ​ shown).

[0341] 2.3 Virulence analysis of MG7 mutant viruses

[0342] Determine the MDT and ICPI values of the three MG7 mutant viruses according to the WOAH standard. The experimental data showed that the MDT and ICPI values of the three MG7 mutant viruses, rMG7-F-N471A (MDT ≥ 120 h, ICPI = 0.13), rMG7-HN-G256E (MDT ≥ 120 h, ICPI = 0.02), and rMG7-L-V1291I (MDT ≥ 120 h, ICPI = 0), all met the requirements for NDV low virulent strains (as shown in Table 6).

[0344]

[0345] 2.4 Analysis of the in vivo replication ability of MG7 mutant viruses after immunizing SPF chickens

[0346] Detect the replication ability of MG7 mutant viruses in SPF chickens. The results showed that all low virulent strains could replicate in SPF chickens, and the highest virus excretion rates in the larynx and cloaca were observed on the 4th and 6th days after immunization; among them, the virus excretion rate in the rMG7-F-N471A vaccine immunized group was higher than that in the MG7 vaccine immunized group. Therefore, the replication ability of the rMG7-F-N471A mutant strain in SPF chickens was better than that of the MG7 strain (as shown in Table 7).

[0348]

[0349] 2.5 Detection of HI antibody titers after immunizing SPF chickens

[0350] The HI antibody titers in the sera of SPF chickens immunized with each vaccine at different time points after immunization were determined using the MG7 strain as the detection antigen. The results showed that the HI antibody titers in the sera of SPF chickens in each vaccine immunization group continuously increased after immunization and reached the highest level at the 3rd week. The HI antibody titers in the MG7 and its mutant virus vaccine immunization groups were between 1:16 and 1:32. Compared with the MG7 vaccine immunization group, there was no significant difference in the HI antibody titers in the rMG7-F-N471A, rMG7-HN-G256E, and rMG7-L-V1291I vaccine immunization groups( ​ ).

[0351] 2.6. Detection of virus excretion levels and virus carriage in various organs of SPF chickens after challenge

[0352] SPF chickens immunized with the live attenuated vaccine were challenged with the NDV-97 strain on the 21st day after immunization. The results showed that all SPF chickens in the PBS control group became ill and died within 6 days, the protection rate of SPF chickens in the MG7 vaccine immunization group was 90%, and the protection rate of SPF chickens in other vaccine immunization groups was 100% (as ​ shown). The swab titration results showed that compared with the MG7 and La Sota vaccine immunization groups, no virus was detected in the throat and cloacal swabs of SPF chickens in the rMG7-F-N471A and rMG7-HN-G256E vaccine immunization groups, while the virus excretion rate of the swabs in the rMG7-L-V1291I vaccine immunization group was 20%. This indicates that the rMG7-F-N471A mutant strain and the rMG7-HN-G256E mutant strain can provide 100% protection for SPF chickens as live attenuated vaccines and can effectively prevent SPF chickens from excreting the virus (as shown in Table 8).

[0353] Virus titration was performed on the collected various organs. The organ titration results showed that virus could be detected in all organs of the PBS control group; virus could only be isolated from the bursa of Fabricius in the rMG7-F-N471A and rMG7-HN-G256E vaccine immunization groups; virus could be isolated from the spleen, pancreas, and bursa of Fabricius in the rMG7-L-V1291I vaccine immunization group; virus could be isolated from the pancreas, bursa of Fabricius, and kidney in the MG7 vaccine immunization group; virus was distributed in the liver, spleen, pancreas, and bursa of Fabricius in the La Sota vaccine immunization group. The above results indicate that compared with the MG7 and La Sota vaccine immunization groups, the rMG7-F-N471A mutant strain and the rMG7-HN-G256E mutant strain can effectively inhibit virus replication in the organs of SPF chickens as live attenuated vaccines (as shown in Table 9).
