[Objective] The aim was to construct a recombinant pseudorabies virus expressing canine distemper virus H gene and investigate its biological characters.[Method] H gene of canine distemper virus（CDV）strain Onderstepoort was produced by RT-PCR,inserted into pcDNA3.1（＋）vector to construct a expression cassette,which was then subcloned into transfer vector p8AA,prior to the insertion of LacZ expression cassette.The resulting new transfer vector was named as p8AAZH.Subsequently,p8AAZH was co-transfected with the genome of pseudorabies virus（PRV）Bartha-K61 into BHK-21 cells to enable gene recombination and virus package,and the virus solution was collected as cytopathic effect occurring.A series of procedures including blue plaque purification,PCR identification,observation under electron microscope and Western blot were carried out to screen the recombinant pseudorabies virus and identify the protein expression of target gene.Meanwhile,growth curve of the recombinant virus was determined in BHK-21 cells.[Result] The H gene had been inserted into the genome of Bartha-K61 strain,and RPRV-H was the same as Bartha-K61 in the one-step growth curve and cytopathic effect in BHK-21 cells.[Conclusion] The recombinant pseudorabies virus was constructed,and the insertion of H gene did not influence proliferation of recombinant virus,which laid a foundation for development of recombinant canine distemper virus vaccine.
[Objective] The paper aimed to construct a new T vector based on plasmid pUC19 digested with Xcm Ⅰ. [Method] Two complementary oligonucleotide chains containing two Xcm Ⅰ sites were synthesized. After denaturation and renaturation,the adaptor was cloned into plasmid pUC19 between the Hind Ⅲ and BamH Ⅰ sites. The new plasmid,pUC19-HB-T vector,was digested with Xcm Ⅰ to derive a T-vector with 3′ end overhanging a T base. [Result] The constructed pUC19-HB-T vector was efficient in cloning PCR products,with an efficiency of 95% at least. [Conclusion] A new Xcm Ⅰ-based pUC19-HB-T vector was constructed,which could be applied to cloning of PCR products and other microbiology operations.
