[0063] Construction of infectious clone of avian infectious bronchitis virus IBV-H120

[0064] 1) Primers and gene synthesis

[0065] According to the H120 infectious clone design sequence and rescue strategy, design linear vector amplification primers, point mutation primers, auxiliary plasmid construction primers and identification and detection primers. The primers and genes were synthesized by BGI (Table 1).

[0073] 2) RNA extraction of avian infectious bronchitis virus vaccine strain H120

[0074] Avian infectious bronchitis virus vaccine strain H120 virulent allantoic cavity was inoculated with 9-day-old SPF chicken embryos, and the allantoic fluid of the remaining chicken embryos was harvested ...

[0102] Rescue virus detection

[0103] 1) RT-PCR detection

[0104] Take 200μL of rH120 F5 strain virus liquid and extract viral RNA according to the instructions of Axyprep Body Fluid Virus DNA / RNA Small Extraction Kit. The extracted RNA is dissolved in 40μL RNase-free TE buffer, and 10μL RNA is taken according to Recombinant DNase I (RNase-free) (Takara) Instructions to remove DNA. Using the above RNA as a template, the primers IBV-S1-F / R, IBV-MF / R and H120-3ab-F / R in Table 3.1 are expanded according to the instructions of PrimeScript OneStep RT-PCR Kit Ver.2 Increase S1, M and 3ab genes. RT-PCR products were observed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis Figure 5 , And sent to Huada Gene Company for sequencing. See the sequencing results Image 6 .

[0105] 2) Western blotting detection of M protein

[0106] Inoculate the rH120 F5 and female H120 virus liquids into the cell culture six-well plate monolayer CK cells, adsorb at 37°C for 2h, then change to 2% serum DMEM medium, and pl...

[0112] Rescue the biological characteristics of the virus

[0113] 1) Determination of rH120 virus growth

[0114] Dilute the rH120 F5 virus liquid and the mother virus H120 virus with normal saline, and inoculate 30 10-day-old SPF chicken embryos through the allantoic cavity. 2 EID50 / embryo. The virus allantoic fluid of 5 chicken embryos was harvested at 6h, 12h, 24h, 36h and 48h respectively after inoculation, mixed and aliquoted and stored at -80℃.

[0115] ( Picture 9 ) The results showed that the proliferation trend of rH120 F5 virus was basically the same as that of the female parent strain H120. The overall titer of rH120 F5 was slightly lower than that of the female parent strain H120, and the difference in virus titers was not significant (p>0.05). The strain H120 is basically the same. It shows that rH120 F5, like the female parent strain H120, is highly adapted to chicken embryos.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of animal genetic engineering, and more specifically, relates to a method for constructing an infectious clone of a coronavirus and its application. Background technique [0002] Reverse genetics technology is a method to study the structure and function of viruses by constructing infectious molecular clones of viruses and performing molecular operations at the DNA level. Due to the large genome of coronaviruses, it is difficult to have suitable vectors that can accommodate such a large Genome to get the virus. Therefore, the research of coronavirus genome has been limited to temperature-sensitive mutant strains, defective viruses, and recombinant viruses constructed using targeted RNA homologous recombination technology. Among them, targeted RNA homologous recombination technology was the first to be used in the research of coronavirus reverse genetics. Technology, the reverse genetic manipulation technology of...
