title: [Study of fusion protein and attachment glycoprotein of Nipah virus expressed in recombinant baculovirus].
abstract: In this study, Recombinant baculoviruses rBac-NF and rBac-NG were generated for expressing F and G proteins Nipah virus (NiV) . The expression of recommbinant G (rNG) and F (rNF) protein in rBac-NF and rBac-NG infected cells were confirmed by western-blot. Both rNG and rNF showed sensitive and specific antigenic reaction to rabbit serum anti-Nipah virus in indirect immunofluorescence detection and indirect ELISA. Immunization with rBac-NF and rBac-NG infected insect cells elicited G ad F protein specific antibody responses in mice. Furthermore, the G ad F specific antibodies could neutralize the infectivity of the VSVdeltaG* F/G, the NiV F and G envelope glycoproteins psudotyped recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Virus expressing green fluorescence protein. The results demonstrated F and G protein expressed by the recombinant baculoviruses could be safe economic diagnostic antigens for the surveillance and monitoring of NiV and promising subunit vaccines for the prevention of NiV.
