The invention discloses an avian
flavivirus NS1 trans-complementary pseudovirus
system and application thereof. According to the pseudovirus
system disclosed by the invention, a BHK21
cell line for stably expressing USUV-NS1
protein carrying a V5
label, namely a BHK21-NS1 stably transfected
cell line, is constructed by utilizing a
lentivirus packaging method; meanwhile,
deletion mutation is introduced into the NS1
protein of USUV, infectious clone plasmids are constructed, and the 157th-251st
amino acid of the NS1
protein is deleted by the
deletion mutation. The infectious clone
plasmid is transfected with a BHK21-NS1 stably transfected
cell line, so that the trans-complementary
virus USUV-
delta NS1 which can be rescued and proliferated only in the BHK21-NS1 stably transfected cell line is obtained. The USUV-deltaNS1 trans-complementary
virus is subjected to continuous passage on a BHK21-NS1 cell for 10 generations, so that the TMN-deltaNS1
virus with high yield is obtained, and complete
live virus is not generated by recombination in the passage process. Therefore, the avian
flavivirus NS1 trans-complementary pseudovirus
system disclosed by the invention can be used as a tool to be applied to USUV vaccine preparation and related
antibody evaluation.
