Abstract:
Background: The importance of viral protein-2 (VP2) of canine parvovirus (CPV) in binding to human cancer cells, production of veterinary vaccines and diagnostic kits has motivated several researches on producing this protein. Objectives: Our purpose was to construct recombinant bacmid shuttle vectors expressing VP2 of CPV using Bac-to-Bac baculoviral expression system. Materials and Methods: Mini-Tn7 transposones engineered in pFastBac1 donor vectors were used to construct expression cassettes of GFP and CPV-VP2. The plasmids were transferred into E. coli DH10Bac competent cells. Site-specific transposition of the genes into bacmid was accomplished using helper plasmid. Occurrence of Transposition was confirmed via PCR using specific primers and PUC/M13 universal primers. The recombinant bacmid DNAs were transfected into Sf9 cells using cationic lipids to generate new recombinant baculoviruses expressing GFP and CPV-VP2. GFP and VP2 expressions were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and western analysis, respectively. Results: Cloning, subcloning and recombination processes of both GFP and VP2 were accomplished and verified. Accuracy of transfection process was confirmed by GFP fluorescence microscopy.VP2 expression was verified by SDS-PAGE and western analysis. Conclusions: Two Bac-to-Bac expression systems were designed to produce recombinant VP2 and GFP in insect cells.
