The invention discloses a
recombinant baculovirus for expressing heat-resistant
HN protein of the
Newcastle disease virus as well as a preparation method and application of the
recombinant baculovirus. The
virus strain is preserved in China Center for Type Culture Collection, the preservation address is Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, and the preservation number is CCTCC NO: V202044. The preparation method of the ecombinant baculovirus comprises the following steps of carrying out
point mutation on an HN
gene of a
Newcastle disease virus non-heat-resistant LaSota strain, including G49E, R269S,G293E, R353Q and G494D, inserting the mutated HN
gene into a baculovirus
genome, and carrying out virus rescue to obtain the
recombinant baculovirus rAC-HN-N5 strain. The
virus strain can efficientlyexpress
mutant HN protein. Compared with wild-type
HN protein of the LaSota strain, the
mutant HN
protein has the
advantage that the
thermal stability is obviously enhanced. The
mutant HN
protein expressed and purified by utilizing the recombinant baculovirus rAC-HN-N5 strain can be used for preparing a heat-resistant
subunit vaccine for the
Newcastle disease, so that the dependence of the vaccine on a
cold chain is reduced, and a new thought is provided for the development of the
subunit vaccine with
high heat stability.
