Live attenuated virus and attenuated tissue culture vaccines are widely used in the fight against ORFV, however, the conventional attenuated vaccine strains have many drawbacks. The aim of this project was to construct a promising contagious ecthyma vaccine strain with safety, high protection efficacy and accessibility by genetic manipulation to against the disease. Using a natural ORFV-GS14 strain as the parental virus, recombinant virus, rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF, with double deletions in the genes encoding the chemokine binding protein (CBP) and granulocyte\/macrophage colony-stimulating factor inhibitory factor (GIF) was generated and characterized <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>. Results showed that the growth kinetics curve of rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF and parental virus was consistent, both reaching plateau phase at 48\u00a0h post infection, which indicated that the double deletion of <jats:italic>cbp<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>gif<\/jats:italic> genes had little impact on the replication properties of the recombinant virus in primary goat testis (PGT) cell cultures compared with the parental virus. The safety of the double gene-deleted virus was evaluated in lambs. The lambs were monitored for 21 days post infection of the recombinant virus and no ORFV associated symptoms were observed in 21 days post-infection except for slight fever and anorexia in 5 days post-infection, and all lambs inoculated with either recombinant virus or PBS exhibited no clinical signs. To assess the protection efficacy of the rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF, groups of four lambs each were inoculated with rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF, rGS14-\u0394CBP, rGS14-\u0394GIF or PBS and challenged by a wild type virulent ORFV strain that was isolated from proliferative scabby lesions tissues of infected goat at 21-day post-inoculation. During 14 days post-challenging, lambs inoculated with rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF all remained healthy with unimmunized group all infected, while the single gene-deleted viruses only protected 40% to 50% animals. These results indicated that the double gene-deleted recombinant virus could provide complete protection against virulent ORFV challenging. In conclusion, the double gene-deleted recombinant virus strain, rGS14-\u0394CBP-\u0394GIF, would be a promising candidate vaccine strains with safety, high protection efficacy and availability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2022.961287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]],"date-time":"2022-09-02T07:06:06Z","timestamp":1662102366000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Construction
