The application provides a method for constructing an immortalized bovine nasopharyngeal
tonsil epithelial
cell line and application, and belongs to the technical field of
cell engineering. The healthy yellow bovine nasopharyngeal
tonsil is used as a material, and the primary epithelial cells are separated by
enzyme digestion. The 3rd to 4th generation cells are taken, infected with SV40 T
lentivirus (MOI=80), and screened by 1.5 μg / mL
puromycin to obtain a stable immortalized
cell line. The cell line is continuously passaged to the 50th generation and still stably expresses SV40LT
protein and epithelial specific markers CD326, CD324 and KRT8, maintains a typical pavement stone-like morphology, normal proliferation and no
malignant transformation. Infection experiments show that the cell is
highly sensitive to FMDV, supports efficient replication, and the
virus titer can reach 10 7.5 TCID 50 / mL. The application overcomes the defects of the existing immortalized bovine nasopharyngeal
tonsil epithelial
cell model, such as limited source, large batch difference, low sensitivity and poor persistence, and provides a stable and reliable
in vitro model for the research of foot-and-mouth
disease prevention and control related mechanisms,
drug screening and vaccine development.
