The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and particularly relates to application of an eEF1D
protein in preparation of a
medicine for preventing or treating foot-and-mouth
disease virus infection. The invention finds that the expression of the eEF1D mRNA is increased and the content of the eEF1D
protein is reduced after the foot-and-mouth
disease virus infection, namely, the eEF1DmRNA and the eEF1D
protein can be used as detection markers for the foot-and-mouth
disease virus infection and are used for evaluating whether the foot-and-mouth disease virus infection occurs or not;secondly, the eEF1D protein can remarkably reduce the
structural protein VP1 of the foot-and-mouth disease virus, the expression of mRNA of the foot-and-mouth disease virus and the
titer of the foot-and-mouth disease virus, remarkably inhibits the replication of the foot-and-mouth disease virus, and can be used for preventing or treating the infection of the foot-and-mouth disease virus; and finally, after knocking down the eEF1D protein, the expression of the foot-and-mouth disease virus
structural protein VP1 is promoted, and the expression of the foot-and-mouth disease virus mRNA and the virus
titer are improved. Therefore, the eEF1D protein can be knocked down in a production
cell strain through a
genetic engineering means, and a
cell line with better performance than that of the foot-and-mouth disease
virus vaccine produced by the existing production
cell line is obtained and is used for producing foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccines.
