Verification of H5 gene expression from H5-recombinant fowlpox viruses co-expressing host cytokine using indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT)
Fowlpox virus (FWPV) has been used in vaccine development against avian influenza virus (AIV) by the expression of the AIV haemagglutinin (HA) gene. Recombinant FWPV (rFWPV) vaccines can be improved by co-expression of interleukins (IL) that can act as immunostimulatory mo...

| description | Fowlpox virus (FWPV) has been used in vaccine development against avian influenza
virus (AIV) by the expression of the AIV haemagglutinin (HA) gene. Recombinant FWPV
(rFWPV) vaccines can be improved by co-expression of interleukins (IL) that can act as
immunostimulatory molecule. Prior to any field applications, rFWPV ability to stably express HA and
IL genes in cells and its efficacy to induce immune response needs to be verified. Thus, the
objective of this study is to verify the H5 gene expression from rFWPV-H5 and rFWPV-H5-IL-15 via
indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) method. Firstly, freshly prepared chicken
embryonic fibroblast (CEF) cells were infected with recombinant viruses and wild type
fowlpox virus served as a negative control. After overnight incubation, the cells were
overlaid with H5 primary antibodies raised in rabbits for 2 hours. Counter-staining was
done using fluorescein (FITC)- conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody raised in goats.
Phase-contrast fluorescence microscopy showed faint green fluorescence signals in rFWPV-H5 and
false positive in rFWPV-H5-IL-15 when ab21292 H5 primary antibody was used. Bright
green fluorescence signals were exhibited in both recombinants, but not negative
controls, when ab62587 H5 primary antibody was used, indicative of successful H5 recombinant
protein expression. |
