Abstract
Both current live, attenuated, and killed virus vaccines for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) have their limitations. Here, we report the development of a BVDV subunit vaccine by (i) the expression of a secreted form of a recombinant E2 glycoprotein using BHK21 cells and (ii) determination of the immune responses in mice. The E2 glycoprotein was modified by deletion of the C-terminal transmembrane anchor domain and fusion to a V5 epitope tag. This allowed detection using anti-V5 monoclonal antibodies together with simple purification of the expressed, secreted, form of E2 from the cell media. Furthermore, we genetically fused green fluorescent protein (GFP) linked to E2 via a Thosea asigna virus 2A (T2A) ribosome skipping sequence thereby creating a self-processing polyprotein [GFP-T2A-BVDV-E2trunk-V5], producing discrete [GFP-T2A] and [E2trunk-V5] translation products: GFP fluorescence acts, therefore, as a surrogate marker of E2 expression, BALB/c mice were inoculated with [E2trunk-V5] purified from cell media and both humoral and cellular immune responses were observed. Our antigen expression system provides, therefore, both (i) a simple antigen purification protocol together with (ii) a feasible strategy for further, large-scale, production of vaccines.
