Abstract  To prevent the vesicular stomatitis virus ( VSV) disease , using a panel of recombinant VSV (E1764A , S1827A , Y1650A , and F1691A) that were defective in mRNA cap methylation as vaccine to inoculate five‐week‐old BALB/c female mice through oral route with 1 × 106 PFU , the pathogenicity and immunogenicity of these viruses were determined . The result showed that recombinant S 1827A , Y1650A , F1691A were attenuated in mice and E1764A was still pathogenic to mice . The immunized mice were challenged with wild type VSV . Mice immunized with S1827A and Y1650A trigged a high level of neutralizing antibody and were protected from virulent challenge . Taken together , the results above demonstrated that methyltransferase ( MTase)‐defective VSV ( S1827A and Y1650A) were not only attenuated in animals , but also exhibited excellent immunogenicity . Therefore , MTase‐defective viruses will be good live vaccine candidates against VSV .

重组甲基转移酶致弱水疱性口炎病毒的致病性与免疫原性

为了研究有效的水疱性口炎病毒疫苗,控制水疱性口炎疾病的蔓延,用甲基化能力致弱的重组水疱性口炎病毒VSV‐E1764A ,VSV‐S1827A ,VSV‐Y1650A 和VSV‐F1691A 作为疫苗,通过口腔灌服途径将1 × 10 PFU 的重组病毒接种5 周龄BALB/c 小鼠,研究以上重组病毒的致病性和免疫原性.结果表明:重组病毒VSV‐S1827A ,VSV‐Y1650A 和VSV‐F1691A 对小鼠的致病性减弱,而VSV‐E1764A仍然具有较强的致病性;免疫后的小鼠用野生型水疱性口炎病毒( VSV) 进行攻毒,发现VSV‐S1827A和VSV‐Y1650A 能够诱导高水平的中和抗体,从而保护小鼠免于攻击.总之,甲基化酶致弱的水疱性口炎病毒VSV‐S1827A 和VSV‐Y1650A 不仅对动物的致病性减弱,而且表现出良好的免疫原性;因此,甲基化酶致弱的水疱性口炎病毒可能成为有良好开发前景的活疫苗.
