摘要

Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is one of the most important viral infections affecting swine. In the present study, the complete genome of the cell culture-adapted lapinized Indian Classical Swine Fever virus (CSFV) was cloned into the pBR322 vector using an improved method. The viral RNA was amplified by RT-LA PCR into two overlapping fragments of ~ 6.5 kb and 5.8 kb sizes, and cloned separately into the pTZ57R/T vector. To generate CSFV full-length cDNA, the segments were fused utilising a restriction endonuclease region located within the overlapping region. The complete genome was then cloned into the pBR322 vector and designated as pBR/T7-CSFV. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by PCR, restriction enzyme analysis, and nucleotide sequencing. The full-length cDNA backbone of CSFV can serve as a reverse genetics model with the T7 promoter and can be used for creating recombinant viruses and for developing a DIVA strategy for CSFV. This study describes a modified method for full-length amplification of an Indian CSFV isolate and cloning it into the pBR322 vector.
