Gene Synthesis> | The substituted PERV env (mPERV) and PERV env (PERV) of the N-terminal baculovirus gp64 signal sequence and the C-terminal gp64 partial tran- script were synthesized using a commercial vendor (Genscript, Scotch Plains, NJ). | Get A Quote |
PERV is a major virus concerning xenotransplantation study. However, the interesting part is that PERV is present in all kinds of pigs without pathogenicity and immune response. Furthermore, since pig cells have receptors for PERV, the gene delivery system using PERV envelope is highly likely to develop into an excellent viral vector in pigs. We developed a recombinant baculovirus with a modified surface for expressing the porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) envelope. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection is a severe concern in the porcine industry due to reproduction failure and respiratory symptoms. GP5 and M proteins are major immunogenic proteins of PRRSV. Using PERV-modifie... More
