The Screen of Inhibitors of Grass Carp Hemorrhage Virus from a Phage Displayed Random Peptide Library
Abstract: Screening inhibitors of GCHV 873 (Grass Carp Hemorrhage Virus)to inhibit its replication in CIK cells in vitro ,the biotinylated intact virion of GCHV was used to react on a random sequenced peptide library of 9 amino acids fused on protein Ⅲ of filamentous phage fUSE5 .After 3 rounds of affinity selection,immuno screening and ELISA,16 positive clones were selected using CsCl gradient purified virus particles, 6 of them inhibited the replication of GCHV in CIK cells in vitro and decreased the TCID 50 of GCHV from 10 -10 to 10 -5 .These findings open possibility of identifying virus proteins or epitopes as targets for antiviral agents.
