Abstract
Objective To investigate genetic stability of P3 strain of Vero cell derived inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine.Methods The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of E protein of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) P3 strain at different culture period including the mouse brain one passage seed,master seed,working seed the vaccine lot in addition to its 5 passages lot were determined,while the E gene and protein sequences were compared with JEV wide stain (AF036919) from the GenBank.Furthermore,the master seed,working seed,vaccine lot and its 5 passages lot of P3 stain were determined for virus titer,antigen concentration and the vaccine potency.Results The E gene and protein sequences of the above 5 passages of vaccine strain prepared for JEV vaccine showed no difference with homologies of 100%.When the 5 passages of vaccine stain compared with those JEV wide stain (AF036919),the gene sequence at E9,E10,E324,E330,E1223,E1338 showed difference with homologies of 99.73%.No silent mutation were investigated except the amino acid mutation at aE408 (L→S) but was no virulence-associated sites with homologies of 99.80%.The virus titers of the master seed,working seed,vaccine lot and its 5 passages lot of P3 stain were higher than 8.0 lgLD50/ml,while the antigen concentrations and the vaccine potency showed no difference.Conclusion The virus seed bank of P3 strain for Vero cell derived inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine showed high genetic stable.
