There is no effective antiviral treatment for severe EV71 infections and no vaccine is available. The objectives of this study were to design and construct a DNA vaccine against Enterovirus 71 using the viral capsid protein (VP1) gene of EV71 and to verify the functionality of the DNA vaccine <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The VP1 gene of EV71 from two local outbreak isolates were amplified using PCR and then inserted into a eukaryotic expression vector, pVAX1. The 3.9 kb recombinant constructs were transformed into competent <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> cells and the positive clones were screened and selected using PCR analysis, restriction digestion analysis and DNA sequencing. The constructs were then tested for protein expression in Vero cells. Subsequently, in the <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> studies, female Balb\/c mice were immunized with the DNA vaccine constructs. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and virus neutralizing assay were performed to detect the presence of anti-VP1 IgG in mice and its neutralizing effect against the EV71.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The pVAX1 vector was successfully cloned with the VP1 gene from each of the isolate (S2\/86\/1 and 410\/4) in the correct orientation and in-frame. The DNA vaccine constructs with the VP1 gene were shown to be expressed in a cell-free <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> expression system. The VP1 protein was successfully expressed in the mammalian cell line and was detected using RT-PCR, Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) and western blotting. The anti-VP1 IgG levels in mice immunized with the DNA vaccine constructs increased after the first booster but declined following the second booster. The anti-VP1 IgG in the mice immunized with the DNA vaccine constructs exhibited neutralising activity against EV71.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The promising results obtained in the present study have prompted further testing to improve the expression and immunogenicity of this potential EV71 DNA vaccine.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1479-0556-5-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,30]],"date-time":"2007-04-30T15:53:58Z","timestamp":1177948438000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":98,"title":["DNA vaccine constructs against enterovirus 71 elicit immune response in mice"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Wong Siew","family":"Tung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sazaly Abu","family":"Bakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zamberi","family":"Sekawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rozita","family":"Rosli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"38_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.11.1.202","volume":"11","author":"P Muir","year":"1998","unstructured":"Muir P, Kammerer U, Korn K, Mulders MN, Poyry T, Weissbrich B, Kandolf R, Cleator GM, van Loon AM: Molecular typing of enteroviruses: current status and future requirements.
