Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus의 Nucleocapsids의 형성과 Polyhedra Occlusion Bodies의 형성을 Spodoptera frugiperda 세포에 감염된 후 3 일째 된 것을 관찰하였다. 1. A. californica NPV는 Spodoptera 세포의 핵내에서 분열복제되어 Nucleocapsid를 형성하여, 외투막을 얻은 후에 Polyhedra Occlusion Bodies 로 함입 되었다. 2. A. californica NPV가 감염된 세포의 핵은 팽창되어 핵막이 세포질까지 거의 신장되어 있었다. 3. Polyhedra Occlusion Bodies의 형성은 NPV로 감염된 세포에서 작은 엉성한 단백질 또는 Polypeptides가 점진적으로 커지면서 바이리스들이 함입되면서 더욱 덩치가 커지게 되고, 세포질내에 NPV 바이러스들이 없어지면 Polyhedra는 외부에 매끈한 막을 형성하는 것이 관찰되었다. 4. Polyhedra Occlusion Bodies의 형태는 바이러스 다발이 함입되어 있는 상태에 따라서 다양하였다. 5. Polyhedra 에 있는 바이러스 다발들은 외투막을 가지며 바이러스사이에도 기저물질이 존재하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus(AcNPV) L-1주의 extracellular nonoccluded virion (NOV)을 보관하는 방법을 연구하였다. AcNPV NOVs을 Spodoptera frugiperda cell line에 감염을 시킨 후에 배양액을 원심분리하여 AcNPV NOVs가 들어 있는 상등액을 취하여 $4^{\circ}C$에서 약 11년간 보관하였다. 보관되어 있는 AcNPV NOV을 Spodoptera frugiprda cell line에 재감염하여 관찰한 결과 NOVs의 감염과 증식이 정상적이었으며, NOV의 역가가 $8.9 \times 10^7$pfu/ml에서 $3.8 \times 10^5$pfu/ml로 떨어졌을 뿐이다. 또한 HindIII와 EcoRI 제한효소로 AcNPV genome DNA을 절단하여 패턴을 조사한 결과 DNA제한 효소 패턴은 변하지 않았다. 즉 AcNPV NOVs는 $4^{\circ}C$에서 보존하면 10년 이상 안정성이 있고, 취급이 용이하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

To construct transformed Bm5 cells, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV)IE1 gene, an immediate early viral gene was firstly used in this study. AcNPV IE1 gene, which shares on 95.3% uncleotide sequence homology with Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) IE1 gene, was isolated and cloned into pBluescript. Neomycin gene from pKO-neo was inserted under the control of the IE1 promoter to yield pAcIE1-neo. The plasmid pAcIE1-neo was transfected into Bm5 or Sf9 cells, and neomycin-resistant cells were selected in TC100 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1 mg/$m\ell$ G418 for two weeks. Individual clones were picked and each was amplified for further characterization. The genomic DNA from neomycin-resistnt cells was isolated and characterized by PCR using AcNPV IE1 gene-specific primers and by Southern blot analysis using neomycin gene probe. We concluded that AcNPV IE1 gene was functional in B. moridrived Bm5 cells as well as Spodaptera frugiperda-derived Sf9 cells to produce stably-transformed insect cells.

Baculoviruses base vectors come to be regarded as methods for in vivo gene delivery and transient expression to the silkworm. In the case of silkworm, B. mori, two types of baculoviruses, AcNPV (Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus) and BmNPV (Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus), are potentially applicable as vectors. Recently, AcNPV showed promising results with some silkworm strains despite different host-specificities. We searched for a highly-permissive silkworm strain in the B. mori stocks of Kyungpook National University that could produce high levels of recombinant protein. Seventy strains were screened using the recombinant AcNPV/BmA3-Luc virus. Based on the measured luciferase activity, the strains could be divided into three groups, high-, middle-, and low-permissive strains, according to their relative recombinant protein expression levels. At 48 hours post-injection, the luciferase activity in the high-permissive strains was 500-fold greater than that of the low-permissive strains. At 72 hours post-injection, a significant elevation in luciferase activity was observed in the hemocytes of all strains. Then, based on the above results, the High Permissive Strain (HPS) S10 and the Low Permissive Strain (LPS) S39 were pick up and was carried out Dot blotting, RT-PCR and Real time PCR.

Autographa californica 핵다각체병 바이러스(AcNPV)의 다각체 단백질과 Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt) cryIA(c) 내독소 단백질의 융합단백질을 생산하는 새로운 재조합 바이러스를 제작하고, 곤충세포주(Spodoptera frugiperda 9)에서 발현된 융합단백질의 특성을 분석하였다. Bt kurstaki HD-73의 cryIA(c) 내독소 단백질 유전자의 N-발단 AcNPV의 완전한 다각체 단백질 유전자의 앞쪽에 융합함에 의하여 또는 다닥체 단백질 유전자내의 제한효소 HindII부위에 삽입함에 의하여 다각체 단백질 유전자의 프로모터 조절하에 도입하였다. 이렇게 작성된 재조합 바이러스를 각각 Btrusl 또는 BtrusII라고 명명하였다. BtrusI은 분명히 단일 전사체를 보임에도 92kDa의 융합 단백질과 다각체 단백질의 두 단백질을 생산하였다. 또한 Btrusl에 의해 만들어진 융합 단백질은 다각체를 형성하지 않았다. 한편, BtrusII에 의해 감염된 곤충세포주에서는 33kDa의 다각체 단백질은 보이지 않았고 단지 융합 단백질만 생산하였으나 다각체는 형성하지 않았다. 따라서 Btrusl에 의해 생산된 융합 단백질의 독성을 조사하기 위하여, Btrusl으로 감염된 곤충세포주를 2령 누에(Bombyx mori)에 접종한 결과 융합 단백질에 의한 독성이 관찰되었다. 결론적으로 다각체 단백질과 Bt cryIA(c) 내독소 단백질에 의한 융합 단백질이 독성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

숙주범위가 서로 다른 Autographa californica NPV(AcNPV)와 Bombyx mori NPV(BmNPV)를 Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9) 또는 Bombyx mori(BmN-4)의 세포에 동시감염(coinfection)시킨 후, 숙주범위가 확장된 재조합 바이러스를 Sf9세포에서 10종 BmN-4세포에서 2종씩 플라크 순화하여 선발하였다. 각 재조합 바이러스 DNA의 제한효소 분석결과는 한번 이상의 재조합이 일어났음을 보여주었다. 재조합 바이러스 RecB-8의 전자현미경 관찰결과는 다각체의 모양이 모바이러스인 AcNPV나 BmNPV와는 전혀 다른 정사면체 모양이었으며 또한, 모바이러스와는 달리 virion이 다각체에 거의 매립되어 있지 않은 특징을 보였다.

Teh baculovirus gp64 glycoprotein is a major component of the envelope of budded virus (BV) and has been shown that it plays an essential role in the infection process, especially virus-cell membrane fusion. We have cloned Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (AcNPV) gp64 protein were examined for membrane fusion activity by using a synchtium formation assay under various conditions. The optimal conditions required for inducing membrane fusion are 1) form pH 4.0 to 4.8 2) 15 min exposure of cells to acidic pH 3) at least 1 .mu.g of gp64 cloned plasmid DNA per 3 * 10$^{6}$ cells 4) and an exposure of cells to acidic pH at 72 h post-transfection. In order to investigate the role of hydrophobicity of the gp64 glycoprotein for the membrane fusion, the two leucine residues (amino acid position at 229 and 230) within hydrophobic region I were substituted to alanine by PCR-derived site-directed mutagenisis and the membrane fusion activity of the mutant was anlaysed. The gp64 glycoprotein carrying double alamine substitution mutation showed no significant difference in fusion activity. This result suggested that minor changes in hydrophobicity at the amino acid position 229 and 230 does not affect the acid-induced membrane fusion activity of the gp64 glycoprotein.

A novel recombinant baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (ACNPV) producing the green fluorescent polyhedra was constructed and characterized. The recombinant virus was stably produced fluorescent polyhedra in the infected cells and the morphology of the polyhedra was nearly similar to that of wild-type AcNPV. For the production of the fluorescent polyhedral the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was introduced under the control of polyhedrin gene promoter of AcNPV by translational fusion in the front and back of intact polyhedrin gene. The recombinant baculovirus was named as CXEP, As expected, the 93 kDa fusion protein was expressed in the CXEP-infected cells. Interestingly, however, the cells infected with CXEP also showed a 33 kDa protein band as cells infected with wild-type AcNPV. The results of Southern blot analysis and plaque assay suggested that two types of baculoviruses expressing the GFP fusion protein or only native polyhedrin were formed through homologous recombination between two polyhedrin genes in the same orientation. Thus, this system can be applied for the production of recombinant polyhedra with foreign gene product of diverse interest.

Transformation efficiency, virus multiplication and foreign gene expression were characterized in the insect cells transformed with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) immediate early 1 gene (IE1). Transformation efficiency of insect cells by AcNPV IE1 gene vector horboring foreign gene was approximately 8-fold higher in the Sf9 cells transformed previously with AcNPV IE1 gene than in the normal Sf9 cells. Virus multiplication and foreign gene expression of recombinant baculovirus in the Sf9 cells transformed with AcNPV IE1 gene were similar to those of the normal Sf9 cells. These results suggest that transformed cells displaying foreign gene product by using AcNPV IE1 gene promoter will be useful for the diverse applications of insect cells.
