AcNPV 와 BmNPV의 배양세포주에서의 동시감염에 의해 선발된 재조합 바이러스 RecS-A6는 그 다각체 외부 형태가 모바이러스와 다를뿐만 아니라 배양 세포주에 따라서도 그 형태에 차이가 있었다. 이러한 다각체의 특징적인 형태가 나타나는 요인을 다각체 단백질 유전자를 중심으로 조사한 결과 RecS-A6는 AcNPV 와 BmNPV의 다각체 단백질 유전자를 모두 갖고 있는 것이 확인되었으며, 또한 RecS-A6의 다각체를 단백질 전기영동하여 분석한 결과 RecS-A6의 다각체를 단백질 전기영동하여 분석한 결과 AcNPV와 BmNPV의 다각체 단백질이 모두 다각체 형성에 이용되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Constructions of a transfer vector and a recombinant baculovirus using the thymidine kinase gene of the Herpes simplex virus type 1 strain F (HSV -1) were carried out. Newly cloned transfer vector, pHcgXIIIB, was constructed by insertion of the glycoprotein gX gene signal peptide sequence of Pseudorabies virus into the baculovirus vector pHcEV-IV. The gX sequence was inserted just downstream from the promoter for the polyhedrin gene of the Hyphantria cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HcNPV). HSV-1 thymidine kinase(tk) gene (1.131 kb) was used as a candidate gene for transferring into the baculovirus expression system. The tk gene was inserted into a BamHI site downstream from the gX sequence-promoter for the polyhedrin gene in the pHcgXIIIB transfer vector and was transferred into the infectious lacZ-HcNPV expression vector. Recombinant virus was isolated and was named gX-TK-HcNPV. The recombinant virus produced a 45 kDa gX-TK fusion protein in Spodoptera frugiperda cells, which was confirmed by Western blot analysis. Microscopic examination of gX-TK-HcNPV-infected cells revealed normal multiplication. Fluorescent antibody staining indicated that the gX-TK fusion protein was present in the cytoplasm. These results indicated that the transfer vector successfully transferred the gX-tk gene into the baculovirus expression system.

We have generated a novel baculovirus genome which can be maintained in Escherichia coli that facilitates the rapid and efficient generation of recombinant baculovirus expression vectors. To make $Occ^{+}$ recombinant expression vectors, polyhedrin gene under the control of p10 promoter was inserted to bAcGOZA and this genome was designated bApGOZA. As in bAcGOZA, bApGOZA lacks a portion of the essential ORF1629 gene, but includes a mini-F replicon and selectable kanamycin-resistance marker, This occasion-producing activity of bApGOZA can be used very conveniently for its oral infectivity to insect larvae in mass production of foreign protein and insecticides.

A chitinase cDNA named CHT1 was cloned from the hard tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, and the enzymatic properties of its recombinant proteins were characterized. The CHT1 cDNA encodes 930 amino-acid (aa) residues including a 22 aa putative signal peptide, with the calculated molecular mass of the putative mature protein 104 kDa. The E coli-expressed rCHT1 exhibited weak chitinolytic activity against $4MU-(GlcNAc)_3$. The rCHT1 protein with higher activity was obtained using recombinant Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV), which expresses rCHT1 under polyhedrin promoter. These findings suggest that the rCHT1 expressed in baculovirus-mediated Sf 9 cells has a high activity than E coli-expressed rCHT1.

In the present study, whispovirus immediate early 1 promoter (ie-1) was used to initiate surface expression of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein of Egyptian H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) by using the baculovirus expression vector system. The HA gene and whispovirus ie-1 promoter sequence were synthesized as a fused expression cassette (ie1-HA) and successfully cloned into the pFastBac-1 transfer vector. The recombinant vector was transformed into DH10Bac competent cells, and the recombinant bacmid was generated via site-specific transposition. The recombinant bacmid was used for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-9) insect cells to construct the recombinant baculovirus and to induce expression of the HA protein of H5N1 AIV. The recombinant glycoprotein expressed in Sf-9 cells showed hemadsorption activity. Hemagglutination activity was also detected in both extra- and intracellular recombinant HAs. Both the HA and hemadsorption activities were inhibited by reference polyclonal anti-H5 sera. Significant expression of the recombinant protein was observed on the surface of infected insect cells by using immunofluorescence. SDS-PAGE analysis of the expressed protein revealed the presence of a visually distinguishable band of ~63 kDa in size, which was absent in the non-infected cell control. Western blot analysis confirmed that the distinct 63 kDa band corresponded to the recombinant HA glycoprotein of H5N1 AIV. This study reports the successful expression of the HA protein of H5N1 AIV. The expressed protein was displayed on the plasma membrane of infected insect cells under the control of whispovirus ie-1 promoter by using the baculovirus expression vector system.

In order to express recombinant porcine TGF-${\beta}1$ protein in a baculovirus expression system the entire TGF-${\beta}1$gene containing extra amino acids at the N terminus was cloned into pFBa and pFBb of the Bac-To-$Bac^{TM}$ baculovirus expression system. One of the clones contained 106 extra amino acids and was designated pFBa-106 TGF-${\beta}1$, and the other had 28 extra amino acids and was designated pFBb-28 TGF-${\beta}1$. The orientation of the gene was identified with restriction enzyme mapping and PCR with internal TGF-${\beta}1$ primers. Sf-9 cells were infected at a m.o.i. of 10 by the recombinant viruses generated from the two expected sizes of 55 kD and 46.4kD. these precursor forms of TGF-${\beta}1$ with a polyclonal antibody against human TGF-${\beta}1$. No mature form of TGF-${\beta}1$ protein was detected on SDS gels and an immunoblot indicated that TGF-${\beta}1$ precursor is not properlu processed in insect cells.

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.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract diseases in infancy and early childhood. Despite its importance as a pathogen, there is no licensed vaccine against RSV yet. The attachment glycoprotein (G) of RSV is a potentially important target for protective antiviral immune responses. Recombinant baculovirus has been recently emerged as a new vaccine vector, since it has intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and good bio-safety profile. Methods: We have constructed a recombinant baculovirus-based RSV vaccine, Bac-RSV/G, displaying G glycoprotein, and evaluated immunogenicity and protective efficacy by intranasal immunization of BALB/c mice with Bac-RSV/G. Results: Bac-RSV/G efficiently provides protective immunity against RSV challenge. Strong serum IgG and mucosal IgA responses were induced by intranasal immunization with Bac-RSV/G. In addition to humoral immunity, G-specific Th17- as well as Th1-type T-cell responses were detected in the lungs of Bac-RSV/G-immune mice upon RSV challenge. Neither lung eosinophilia nor vaccine-induced weight loss was observed upon Bac-RSV/G immunization and subsequent RSV infection. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that intranasal administration of baculovirus-based Bac-RSV/G vaccine is efficient for the induction of protection against RSV and represents a promising prophylactic vaccination regimen.
