Cloning and Mutagenesis of the Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68 Genome as an Infectious Bacterial Artificial Chromosome
Open accessAbstract
Gammaherpesviruses cause important infections of humans, in particular in immunocompromised patients. Recently, murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infection of mice has been developed as a small animal model of gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis. Efficient generation of mutants of MHV-68 would significantly contribute to the understanding of viral gene functions in virus-host interaction, thereby further enhancing the potential of this model. To this end, we cloned the MHV-68 genome as a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) in Escherichia coli . During propagation in E. coli , spontaneous recombination events within the internal and terminal repeats of the cloned MHV-68 genome, affecting the copy number of the repeats, were occasionally observed. The gene for the green fluorescent protein was incorporated into the cloned BAC for identification of infected cells. BAC vector sequences were flanked by loxP sites to allow the excision of these sequences using recombinase Cre and to allow the generation of recombinant viruses with wild-type genome properties. Infectious virus was reconstituted from the BAC-cloned MHV-68. Growth of the BAC-derived virus in cell culture was indistinguishable from that of wild-type MHV-68. To assess the feasibility of mutagenesis of the cloned MHV-68 genome, a mutant virus with a deletion of open reading frame 4 was generated. Genetically modified MHV-68 can now be analyzed in functionally modified mouse strains to assess the role of gammaherpesvirus genes in virus-host interaction and pathogenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
