E(rns) glycoprotein, along with E(1) and E(2), is one of the three envelope glycoproteins of classical swine fever virus (CSFV). E(rns) is a heavily glycosylated protein involved in several functions, including virus attachment and entry to target cells, production of neutralizing antibodies, and virulence. The role of added glycans to CSFV strain Brescia E(rns) on virus virulence was assessed in swine. A panel of virus mutants was constructed and used to investigate whether the removal of each of seven putative glycosylation sites in the E(rns) glycoprotein would affect viral virulence in swine. Only N269A/Q substitution rendered attenuated viruses (N1v/N1Qv) that, unlike BICv and other mutants, produced a transient infection in swine characterized by mild symptoms and decreased virus shedding. Notably, N1v efficiently protected swine from challenge with virulent BICv at 3 and 21 days post-infection suggesting that glycosylation of E(rns) could be modified for development of CSF live-attenuated vaccines.

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is an ancient pathogen that continues to pose a threat to animal agriculture worldwide. The virus belongs to the genus Pestivirus and the family Flaviviridae. It causes a multisystemic disease that affects only pigs and is responsible for significant economic losses.

Classical swine fever (CSF) remains one of the most economically significant viral diseases affecting domestic pigs and wild boars worldwide. To develop a safe and effective vaccine against CSF, we have constructed a triple gene-deleted pseudorabies virus (PRVtmv)-vectored bivalent subunit vaccine against porcine circovirus type 2b (PCV2b) and CSFV (PRVtmv+). In this study, we determined the protective efficacy of the PRVtmv+ against virulent CSFV challenge in pigs.

A previous study proved that vGPE mainly maintains the properties of classical swine fever (CSF) virus, which is comparable to the GPE vaccine seed and is a potentially valuable backbone for developing a CSF marker vaccine. Chimeric viruses were constructed based on an infectious cDNA clone derived from the live attenuated GPE vaccine strain as novel CSF vaccine candidates that potentially meet the concept of differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) by substituting the glycoprotein E of the GPE vaccine strain with the corresponding region of non-CSF pestiviruses, either pronghorn antelope pestivirus (PAPeV) or Phocoena pestivirus (PhoPeV). High viral growth and genetic stability after serial passages of the chimeric viruses, namely vGPE/PAPeV E and vGPE/PhoPeV E, were confirmed in vitro.

Article Synopsis
- - Interferon (IFN) is a crucial antiviral cytokine that plays a key role in the immune response against viral infections by activating signaling pathways that lead to its expression when pathogens are detected.
- - Pestiviruses, which significantly impact the livestock industry, have evolved strategies to evade the immune response mediated by IFN, making their control challenging.
- - The envelope glycoproteins Erns and Npro of pestiviruses inhibit IFN production; Erns cleaves viral RNAs to block IFN signaling, while Npro degrades the transcription factor IRF-3 to suppress the immune response.

To develop the new classical swine fever (CSF) vaccine candidate with differentiating infected vaccinated animals (DIVA) characteristics, a chimeric CSF virus (CSFV) was constructed based on an infectious cDNA clone of the CSF vaccine C-strain. The 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs) and partial E2 region (residues 690-860) of the C-strain were substituted with the corresponding regions of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) to construct the chimeric cDNA clone pC/bUTRs-tE2. The chimeric virus rC/bUTRs-tE2 was generated by several passages of pC/bUTRs-tE2-transfected PK15 cells.
