Description

Vaccine Development Applications

Recombinant SPDV structural polyproteins have been tested as vaccine candidates:

  • A salmonid alphavirus replicon expressing the IPNV (Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus) polyprotein (pSAV/PP) induced moderate protection (30–50% survival) in Atlantic salmon against IPNV challenge .

  • DNA vaccines encoding structural genes reduced PD outbreaks by >50% in Norwegian aquaculture .

  • Co-expression of the 6K protein with structural genes rescued infectivity in Δ6K mutants, highlighting its indispensability .

Recombination and Attenuation Mechanisms

Studies using recombinant SPDV constructs revealed:

  • Genetic stability: Introducing mutations in nsP2 (e.g., I435V) attenuated viral replication but retained immunogenicity .

  • Homologous recombination: Deletion variants (e.g., Δ6K) recombined with helper plasmids in vivo to produce infectious virus, mimicking natural evolutionary processes .

Challenges and Future Directions

  • Temperature sensitivity: Recombinant SPDV produced at 14°C showed higher pathogenicity than those grown at 10°C, suggesting environmental influences on virulence .

  • Immune evasion: Subtype-specific variations (SAV1–SAV6) complicate cross-protective vaccine design .

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference in order notes for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: Standard shipping includes blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires advance notice and incurs additional charges.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50% and can serve as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on various factors including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function
The recombinant Salmon pancreas disease virus structural polyprotein forms an icosahedral capsid (T=4 symmetry) comprised of 240 copies of the capsid protein. This capsid is enveloped by a lipid membrane containing 80 spikes, each composed of E1-E2 heterodimer trimers. The capsid protein binds viral RNA near its ribosome binding site, facilitating translation post-genome release. It possesses autocatalytic protease activity, cleaving itself from the nascent structural protein. Following self-cleavage, transient ribosome association precedes viral RNA binding and rapid icosahedral core particle assembly. The resulting nucleocapsid interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of the spike glycoprotein E2 at the cell membrane, leading to budding and virion maturation. During infection, virions attach to target cells and undergo clathrin-mediated endocytosis, fusing with the host endosomal membrane. This releases the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm, initiating uncoating (potentially triggered by capsid-ribosome interaction) to make the genomic RNA accessible. The protein specifically inhibits interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1)-dependent signaling during viral entry, evading innate immune detection before gene expression. The polyprotein provides the signal sequence for E3/E2 precursor translocation to the host endoplasmic reticulum. Furin-cleaved E3 remains associated with E1, maintaining E1's pH protection during secretory pathway transport. Following virion release, E3 is gradually released extracellularly. E2 participates in viral attachment by binding to the cell receptor, originating as a p62 precursor. Furin processing at the cell membrane before budding yields the E2-E1 heterodimer (unstable at low pH); p62 processing is a later step, preventing premature E1 fusion activation. E2's C-terminus, initially transmembrane, undergoes palmitoylation-induced reorientation from lumenal to cytoplasmic, crucial for budding via capsid protein interaction. The 6K protein, a constitutive membrane protein, is involved in glycoprotein processing, cell permeabilization, and virion budding. It disrupts calcium homeostasis (likely at the endoplasmic reticulum), causing cytoplasmic calcium elevation. Its lipophilic nature suggests a role in lipid selection for interaction with glycoprotein transmembrane domains, influencing bilayer deformability for budding. E1, a class II viral fusion protein, remains fusion-inactive while bound to E2 in mature virions. Endosomal acidification post-cell attachment and endocytosis dissociates the E1/E2 heterodimer, triggering E1 trimerization and fusion activity, leading to nucleocapsid release into the cytoplasm. Efficient fusion necessitates cholesterol and sphingolipids in the target membrane, optimally around one cholesterol molecule per two phospholipids, and specifically requires sterols with a 3-beta-hydroxyl group.
