Abstract

Background

The adenovirus vector has been widely studied for vaccines and gene therapies. During the production of the adenovirus vector, a high virus titer is desired to obtain enough virus. The adenovirus vector has been widely studied for the vaccinations and gene therapies, where a high virus titer is desired to obtain sufficient quantities of the virus. For an adenovirus vector-based vaccine, suppression of antigen expression during production would improve the virus titer during production.

Objective

This study aimed to construct an adenovirus vector with lacO-regulated antigen expression using the SARS-CoV-2 spike as a transgene model, which would improve the adenovirus titer during production.

Methods

The lacO expression cassette was designed and prepared as a synthetic gene in pUC57. The lacO expression cassette was then subcloned into pShuttle-CMV. The SARS-CoV-2 spike gene was then inserted into the pShuttle-CMV harboring lacO to generate pShuttle-lacO_S and pShuttle-lacO-intron_S. Recombinant pShuttle was then used to generate a recombinant adenovirus genome using BJ5183 pAdeasy-1. Transfection of the I-linearized adenovirus genome into AD293 and HEK293 cells was used to generate adenovirus primary stock for 14 days of incubation.

Results

Recombinant adenovirus genomes, pAdeasy-lacO_S and pAdeasy-lacO-intron_S, were successfully generated and characterized using I restriction and PCR. In the production of adenovirus primary stocks, the adenovirus titer produced in AD293 cells was higher than in HEK293 cells. The primary stock titer of AdV_lacO-intron-S was higher than AdV_lacO-S and AdV_S titers.

Conclusion

Production of adenovirus with lacO and spike gene, either with or without intron, was successful with a higher titer as compared to AdV_S titer.
