pubmed:abstractText
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a primary pathogen responsible for bovine enteric, respiratory and reproductive failure. A genetic region is encoding the p80 (NS3) of BVDV as the most conserved protein among Pestiviruses. BVDV infection in cattle induces NS3 specific lymphocyte proliferation and humoral responses. To generate a DNA vaccine against BVDV, the gene for BVDV-NADL NS3 was cloned into an eukaryotic expression vector of Semiliki Forest virus (pSFV-1). Quadriceps muscles of BALB/c mice were injected with recombinant DNA generated statistically significant cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activity (CTL) and cell mediated immune (CMI) responses against cytopathic and noncytopathic BVDV. Whereas, the BVDV-NS3 did not generate neutralizing antibodies against BVDVin mice. pSFV-1-NS3 DNA was subjected to in vitro transcription into mRNA. The mRNA was transfected into baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21) and Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells (MDBK). The recombinant cells were used in the detection of DNA antigen responses by immunological assays. This report establishes the ability of BVDV-NS3 DNA inoculation to induce a strong cellular immune responses in mice.
