Alternative codon usage of PRRS virus ORF5 gene increases eucaryotic expression of GP5 glycoprotein and improves immune response in challenged pigs
Kheyar, Ali; Jabrane, Ahmed; Zhu, Chengru; Cléroux, Patrick; Massie, Bernard; Dea, Serge; Gagnon, Carl A. (2005-07)Pigs exposed to GP5 protein of PRRSV by means of DNA immunization develop specific neutralizing and protecting antibodies. Herein, we report on the consequences of codon bias, and on the favorable outcome of the systematic replacement of native codons ... -
Eucaryotic Expression of the Nucleocapsid Protein Gene of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 and Use of the Protein in an Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay for Serological Diagnosis of Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome in Pigs
Racine, Sébastien; Kheyar, Ali; Gagnon, Carl A.; Charbonneau, Benoît; Dea, Serge (2004-07)The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using a recombinant porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) nucleocapsid protein for the serological detection of PCV2-specific antibodies in pig sera. ...
