Popis: In this study, the strong promoter of CMV was introduced in place of the 5' LTR U3 of EIAV to improve the expression level of the molecular clone and to promote the rescue efficiency of the virus. We demonstrated that the EIAV infectious clone pCMV3-8 have a strong capacity to rescue EIAV by viral RT activity assay, Western blotting and TEM. Taken together, these results indicate that pCMV3-8 could be used for genetic manipulation of EIAV and can be applied to the researches on the mechanism of viral replication and attenuated EIAV vaccine.
