These DNA viruses are characteristic for their ability in quickly multiplying viral genetic materials without integrating into the genome of plants, which makes them ideal for developing viral vectors for plants bioengineering. Geminivirus-derived vectors can be classified into expression vectors and virus-induced gene silencing（VIGS） vectors. Details of the design, construction, application and improvements of these geminivirus vectors are summarized and discussed.展开更多

Methods: Four recombinant plasmids constructed in- cluded the coding regions for the core protein (pC) and for the core, E_1 and E_2 together (pCE_1E_2), IL- 12 p35 and p40. These plasmids were transfected into mammalian cells to test their protein expression and were injected into the quadriceps muscles of BALB/ C mice for measurement of specific antibodies and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. Results: All the recombinant plasmids were shown to express specific antigens stably in mammalian cells. Codelivery of pIL-12 expression cassettes with pC and pCE_1E_2 in mice resulted in the enhancement of Ag-dependent CTL responses and the reduction of specific Ab response. The CTL activity was: pC= 18.65%±5.71%, pCE_1E_2=20.07%±11.11%, pC +pIL-12=60.11%±17.37%, pCE_1E_2+pIL-12= 67.48%±15.57%, respectively. The average A val- ues of anti-HCV were pC=0.415±0.127, pCE_1E_2= 0.358±0.096, pC+pIL-12=0.210±0.086, pCE_1E_2 +pIL-12=0.258±0.125. Conclusion: Codelivery of pIL-12 with plasmid DNA can enhance the efficacy of immune responses and shift the type of immune responses.展开更多
