Expression of envelope glycoprotein (E) of Japanese encephalitis virus by recombinant vaccinia virus.
Vaccinia virus recombinants inserted with cDNA clones of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus envelope glycoprotein (E) gene were constructed. The E gene product was detected in the recombinant virus-infected BHK21 cells by immunofluorescence (IF) and Western blotting. The intensity of IF observed was higher by the recombinant of the TK promoter--P7.5 promoter--inserted cDNA construct than by the P7.5 promoter--TK promoter--inserted cDNA construct. The E gene product was hardly detected by the recombinant carrying the TK promoter only upstream to the inserted cDNA, although the glycoprotein E mRNA had been transcribed.
