    Abstract:
    FMDV 2A peptide was introduced as a linker between GP5 and M protein of porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) to allow automatic self-cleavage the polyproteins. This strategy simultaneously displayed the neutralizing action of GP5 protein and cell-mediated immunity of M protein. We put them into the expression cassette of adenovirus vector. The results of RT-PCR, IFA and Western blotting showed that GP5 and M protein were not only expressed correctly, but also self-cleavaged and assemble heterodimers formation. To detect the advantages of rAd-GP5-2A-M, we also constructed some other recombinant adenoviruses (rAd-GP5, rAd-M and rAd-GP5-M) as control. After inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c mice, the four recombinant adenoviruses can induce PRRSV-specific antibodies and cell-mediated immune response, but the level of humoral and cell-mediated immune response against PRRSV induced by rAd-GP5-2A-M is the strongest among the four recombinant adenoviruses. All of these suggested that it is possible to develop one multi-gene engineering vaccine utilizing FMDV 2A peptide, and also provided a novel strategy for developing other viral disease vaccine.
