A recombinant fowlpox virus expressing the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) protects chickens against challenge NDV

The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene from the Beaudette C strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been expressed in a recombinant fowlpox virus vector. The HN gene, under the control of the vaccinia p7.5 promoter, was inserted into a nonessential gene in the terminal inverted repeats of fow...

Zusammenfassung:The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene from the Beaudette C strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been expressed in a recombinant fowlpox virus vector. The HN gene, under the control of the vaccinia p7.5 promoter, was inserted into a nonessential gene in the terminal inverted repeats of fowlpox virus. Expression was demonstrated in tissue culture, a protein of the correct size for fully glycosylated HN protein being recognized by an HN-specific monoclonal antibody on Western blots. When the recombinant fowlpox virus was inoculated into chickens by intravenous or wing-web routes, antibody which recognizes HN from purified NDV virions wasinoculated. Protective immunity to NDV was generated in the chickens; at the highest dose of vaccine 100% of the chickens tested were protected against challenge with a virulent strain of NDV.
