Here we describe a method for the recovery of a bipartite infectious cDNA clone system for ZIKV. Previously described clones for ZIKV suffer from either attenuation or require the addition of introns, making plasmids larger and preventing rescue in insect cells. Infectious virus can be recovered using the two-plasmid clone system in either mammalian or insect cells (data not shown). In addition, virus recovered from this system behaves similarly to wild-type virus in several cell lines, in an immunocompromised mouse mode...

Il virus Zika (ZIKV; Family Flaviviridae : Genus Flavivirus ) è un flavivirus dalle zanzare che è arrivato in Brasile nel 2013-14 ed è stato successivamente associato ad un massiccio focolaio di malattia febbrile che si è diffuso in tutte le Americhe 1 . Inoltre, ZIKV è stato collegato a gravi conseguenze della malattia, come la sindrome di Guillain-Barré negli adulti e la microcefalia nei feti e nei neonati 2 . Poco noto su ZIKV prima della sua diffusione rapida nell&#39;emisfero occidentale. Ciò comprendeva la mancanza di strumenti molecolari, ostacolando così la ricerca meccanicistica. Gli strumenti molecolari per i virus, come i cloni infetti cDNA, facilitano il vaccino e lo sviluppo terapeutico antivirale e consentono la valutazione dei fattori genetici virali correlati alla patogenesi virale differenziale, alla risposta immunitaria e all&#39;evoluzione virale. I cloni infettivi di Flavivirus sono noti per essere altamente instabili nei batteri dovuti alla crI promotori prokaryotici yptici presenti nei loro genomi 3 . Sono stati utilizzati diversi approcci per migliorare questo problema; Incluso l&#39;inserimento di ripetizioni tandem a monte delle sequenze virali 4 , la mutazione di sequenze 5 di promoter prokaryotiche presunte, suddividendo il genoma in plasmidi multipli 6 , vettori di numeri a bassa copia (compresi i cromosomi artificiali batterici) 7 , 8 e l&#39;inserimento di introni nel genoma virale 9 . Un sistema a tutta lunghezza senza modifiche è stato descritto per ZIKV; Tuttavia, questo clone sembrava essere attenuato nella coltura cellulare e nei topi 10 . Altri gruppi hanno introdotto gli introni nel genoma ZIKV, consentendo la distruzione di sequenze instabili nei batteri che possono essere splicate in cellule di mammiferi in vitro per la produzione di virus infettivo 11, 12 . Inoltre, un sistema basato su PCR intitolato Infectious-Subgenomic-Amplicons è stato usato con successo per salvare il prototipo MR766 ceppo di ZIKV 13 . L&#39;approccio qui descritto non richiede sequenze straniere, ma disturba il genoma nella regione di elevata instabilità usando plasmidi multipli, precedentemente impiegati con successo con la febbre gialla 6 , i dengue 14 , 15 e i virus del West Nile 16 . Inoltre, l&#39;aggiunta della sequenza ribozima di epatite D alle terminazioni genomiche virali facilita la creazione di un&#39;autentica 3 &#39;estremità senza la necessità di aggiungere un sito di linearizzazione. Inoltre, entrambi i plasmidi sono costruiti in un vettore di numero di copie basse (pACYC177, ~ 15 copie per cellula) per mitigare ogni tossicità residua 17 . Il virus recuperato mostra un profilo di crescita comparabile aVirus parenterale in curve di crescita in vitro in 8 linee cellulari comprendenti una varietà di tipi di cellule derivanti da entrambi i mammiferi e dagli insetti e ha mostrato identici profili patogeni nei topi e nelle infezioni, diffusione e velocità di trasmissione nelle zanzare 18 . Qui abbiamo un protocollo che descrive come coltivare i plasmidi infetti del clone, generare in vitro l&#39; RNA virale a piena lunghezza (il genoma virale) e recuperare il virus infettivo nella coltura cellulare. In primo luogo, descriviamo la propagazione di plasmidi in batteri o amplificazione senza batteri usando l&#39;amplificazione del cerchio di rotolamento (RCA). Successivamente, mostriamo come i due plasmidi vengono digeriti e successivamente legati insieme per generare virus a piena lunghezza. Infine, descriviamo la produzione di RNA trascritto e la sua successiva elettroporazione in cellule Vero, seguita da una titolazione del virus recuperato ( Figura 1 ). L&#39;approccio descritto è rapido, permettendo perR recupero di scorte di virus infettive in 1-2 settimane.

rescue and characterization of recombinant virus from a new world zika virus infectious clone

I cloni infetti cDNA consentono la manipolazione genetica di un virus, facilitando così il lavoro sui vaccini, la patogenesi, la replicazione, la trasmissione e l&#39;evoluzione virale. Qui descriviamo la costruzione di un clone infettivo per il virus Zika (ZIKV), che attualmente sta causando uno scoppio esplosivo nelle Americhe. Per evitare la tossicità per i batteri che è comunemente osservato con i plasmidi derivati ​​da flavivirus, abbiamo generato un sistema a due plasmidi che separa il genoma al gene NS1 ed è più stabile di quelli a piena lunghezza che non possono essere recuperati con successo senza mutazioni. Dopo la digestione e la legatura per unire i due frammenti, l&#39;RNA virale a piena lunghezza può essere generato mediante trascrizione in vitro con T7 RNA polimerasi. Dopo l&#39;elettroporazione di RNA trascritto nelle cellule, è stato recuperato il virus che ha mostrato simili cinetica di crescita in vitro e fenotipi di virulenza e infezione in vivo nei topi e nelle zanzare rispettivamente.

Il protocollo qui descritto consente di recuperare il virus Zika derivato dal clone infettivo. La manipolazione del sistema clone infettiva a due plasmidi è semplice quando viene eseguita con cura, rispetto alle versioni a piena lunghezza che sono altamente instabili (dati non mostrati). Dopo la digestione e la legatura dei due pezzi distinti, il RNA ricoperto viene prodotto usando la trascrizione in vitro con la T7 polimerasi, che viene poi elettroporato in cellule Ve...
