Description
Summary:•The DNA vaccine pVAX1-EU-ORF3-ORF5 were constructed based on the European LV strain.•GP3 could enhance humoral- and cell-mediated immune responses to GP5.•These two proteins delivered by a vaccine can synergistically induce immunity against PRRSV.•Quil A may be useful as an adjuvant for improving the protective efficiency of DNA vaccination against PRRSV in pigs. The European (EU) type of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has recently emerged in China. In this study, three recombinant DNA vaccines, pVAX1-EU-ORF3-ORF5 (coexpressing EU type PRRSV GP3 and GP5), pVAX1-EU-ORF3 and pVAX1-EU-ORF5, were constructed and evaluated for their abilities to induce humoral and cellular responses as well as to protect piglets against homologous virus challenge. All piglets were given booster vaccinations at 21 days after the initial inoculation and then challenged 14 days later. Pigs inoculated with pVAX1-EU-ORF3-ORF5 developed significantly higher (P
