Construction of an infectious cDNA clone of Culex flavivirus, an insect-specific flavivirus from Culex mosquitoes

Culex flavivirus (CxFV) is an insect-specific flavivirus that has recently been detected in various Culex spp. mosquitoes worldwide. Here, we report the successful construction of a full-length infectious cDNA clone of a Tokyo strain, CxFV-NIID21. The full-length CxFV-NIID21 cDNA was cloned into the low-copy-number plasmid pMW119, which was stably amplified in Escherichia coli . Transfection of a mosquito cell line with in vitro -transcribed RNA from the cDNA clone resulted in the production of recombinant progeny virus with growth properties, cytopathogenicity, and virion morphology similar to the parental virus. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Virology Springer Journals

Abstract

Culex flavivirus (CxFV) is an insect-specific flavivirus that has recently been detected in various Culex spp. mosquitoes worldwide. Here, we report the successful construction of a full-length infectious cDNA clone of a Tokyo strain, CxFV-NIID21. The full-length CxFV-NIID21 cDNA was cloned into the low-copy-number plasmid pMW119, which was stably amplified in Escherichia coli . Transfection of a mosquito cell line with in vitro -transcribed RNA from the cDNA clone resulted in the production of recombinant progeny virus with growth properties, cytopathogenicity, and virion morphology similar to the parental virus.
