The present invention belongs to the field of
interferon genetic engineering, and discloses recombinant pigeon
alpha interferon and its application in the preparation of medicines for resisting pigeon paramyxovirus infection. The present invention constructs recombinant pigeon
interferon piINF 5, realizes efficient expression and purification in CHO
cell expression
system, significantly prolongs its half-life and improves stability. Recombinant pigeon
interferon piINF 5 has no toxic effect on DF1 and VERO cells, and can effectively stimulate the transcription level of interferon-stimulated genes, can significantly inhibit the replication of pigeon paramyxovirus, reduce viral copy number and
hemagglutination value.
In vivo animal
attack experiment shows that the recombinant pigeon interferon piINF 5 can well protect pigeons from the
attack of pigeon paramyxovirus, and the
survival rate reaches 80%, and there is no detoxification in the first five days after the
attack, and only 20% of animals have detoxification in the later stage. The present invention provides an efficient and stable new
drug selection for the treatment of pigeon paramyxovirus
disease, with good commercial application prospects.
