Abstract
Snakehead rhabdovirus (SHRV) is different from other fish novirhabdoviruses such as viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), and hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) in that it replicates at high temperatures. Therefore, the delivery of foreign proteins to fish living at high water temperature would be possible by using recombinant SHRVs. In the present study, to evaluate the possible use of SHRV as a vehicle for foreign proteins delivery, we generated a recombinant SHRV that contains an enhanced-GFP (eGFP) gene between nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P) genes (rSHRV-A-eGFP), and another recombinant SHRV expressing two heterologous genes by inserting an eGFP gene between N and P genes, and mCherry gene between P and M genes (rSHRV-AeGFP-BmCherry). Epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells infected with the recombinant SHRVs showed strong fluorescence(s), suggesting the possible availability of recombinant SHRVs for the development of combined vaccines by expressing multiple foreign antigens.
