title: [Construction of DNA vaccines containing C3d-P29 against Newcastle disease].
abstract: After cloning the C3d cDNA of AA broilers using the liver mRNA source, a pair of primers were designed to subclone the P29 gene to the pUC19 plasmid. Several tandems of P29 were constructed in the pUC19 plasmid using a pair of isoschizomers-BamH I and Bgl II. The pUC- P29.n was igested to get the gene of P29.n that was then cloned to pCDNA3.1 (+) plasmid. After this, the F Gene of Newcastle Disease Virus was cloned through RT-PCR and inserted into the upstream of the P29.n that was in the pCDNA-P29.n, and the DNA vaccines containing F gene against NDV with C3d-P29 as molecular adjuvant were constructed. Several groups of Specefic Pathogen Free chickens were injected with these recombinant plasmids. The pCDNA-F-P29.4 and pCDNA-F-P29.6 group had higher HI antibody titers than the pCDNA-F group. The pCDNA-F-P29.4 and pCDNA-F-P29.6 group's HI antibody titers did not achieve titers as high as the inactive vaccine group. However, they all provided protection against the lethal F48E9 virus challenge.
