The invention discloses a trans-complementary
system for producing South African foot-and-mouth
disease virus-like particles with transcription and replication capabilities and application of the trans-complementary
system. The trans-complementary
system comprises a
cell line stably transfected with an SAT2FMDV P1
gene and an FMDV-
mCherry replicon plasmid, and can be used for producing South African type 2
foot and mouth disease virus-like particles (SAT2FMDV trVLPs) with transcription and replication capabilities. Due to the defect of internal
nucleic acid of SAT2FMDV trVLPs, only single-round
infectivity exists, safety is high, and
biosafety degradation can be achieved. Therefore, the invention also utilizes SAT2FMDV trVLPs to simulate natural
virus to establish a serum trace
neutralization test system, and replaces the traditional evaluation test of the
neutralizing antibody of foot-and-mouth
disease positive serum or vaccine immune serum in clinic, so that the SAT2FMDV
serum neutralization test can be safely and efficiently completed under the condition of a
biosafety secondary laboratory. The invention provides an efficient and safe
virology tool, and has huge potential and practical value in the aspects of reducing
biological safety risks and simulating SAT2FMDV
live virus research.
