In this report, the N-terminal hydrophobic sequence of envelope glycoprotein gene (orf5) was deleted by PCR. The gene was subcloned into prokaryotic expressing vector pET-28 a(+) , the recombinant plasmid named pET-GP5 was transformed into E.coli cell BL21. SDS-PAGE and Western-blot indicated that the orf5 gene was expressed successfully and the recombinant fusion protein, which was about 20.8kDa, had immunologically reactive activity. The studies lay foundations for further study on the development of vaccines for PRRSV.展开更多

With the established methods, 38 clinical samples from the respiratory disease pigs were detected for the presence of PCV2 and PRRSV. The results demonstrated that 22 samples were positive for PCV2, 27 samples were positive for PRRSV and among the above positive samples, 18 samples were positive for both viruses. The data obtained in the present study indicated that PCV2 and PRRSV maybe play an important role in the course of the development of respiratory diseases.展开更多
