摘要： Duck enteritis virus (DEV) can cause an acute, contagious and lethal disease of many species of waterfowl. An infectious bacterial artificial chromosome clone of DEV vaccine strain pE1 (pDEV-EF1) has been constructed in our previous study. Based on pE1, a recombinant mutated clone pDL (pVP26CFP-gCRFP), which carries a red fluorescent protein (mRFP) gene fused to the viral envelope protein gC in combination with a cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) gene fused to the viral capsid VP26, was constructed by two-step Red/ET recombination and the recombinant virus rDL (rVP26CFP-gCRFP) was rescued from chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) by calcium phosphate transfection. Western blot analysis revealed that VP26-CFP and gC-mRFP were both expressed in fusion forms in rDL-infected CEFs, and subcellular localization study showed that gC-mRFP was mainly localized in whole cell at 36, 48 h post infection (p.i.); and then mostly migrated to the cytoplasm after 60 h.p.i., ; whereas VP26-CFP was localized in the nucleus in all stages of virus infection. Additionally, viral particles at different stages of morphogenesis (A capsids, B capsids, C capsids) were observed in virus-infected cells by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that exogenous gene insertion has no effect on virus assembly. This study has laid a foundation for visually studying localization, transportation of DEV capsid proteins and envelope glycoproteins as well as virus assembly, virion movement and virus-cell interaction.
