Formation of Virus-Like Particles of the Dengue Virus Serotype 2 Expressed in Silkworm Larvae.
Molecular Biotechnology 2019 August 32
To explore virus-like particles formation of dengue virus serotype type 2 (DENV-2) structural proteins of, C, prM, E were expressed in silkworm larvae using recombinant Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedroviruses (BmNPV). Each recombinant BmNPV bacmid coding the 2C-prM-E polypeptide and E protein fused with the signal peptide of bombyxin from B. mori was injected into silkworm larvae. The expressed proteins were collected from hemolymph and fat body, and purified using affinity chromatography. E protein was observed at 55 kDa. The DENV virus-like particles (DENV-LPs) with a diameter approximately 35 nm was observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunogold-labelling TEM analysis. The binding of each partially purified proteins to heparin, one of receptors for DENV was confirmed. DENV-LPs were secreted in silkworm larval hemolymph even still low amount, but the E protein and heparin binding function were confirmed.
