The coding sequence (CDS) fragments of porcine RIG-I (GenBank: EU126659), melanoma differentiation–associated protein 5 (MDA5) (GenBank: EU006039), mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) (GenBank: EU082069), TBK1 (GenBank: EU091339), IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) (GenBank: KC860781), and IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) (GenBank: EU294309) with an additional hemagglutinin (HA) tag at the C terminus of each CDS were obtained using the gene synthesis method and cloned into pcDNATM3.1/myc-His(-)A vector (Invitrogen) to yield the HA-tagged expression plasmids of these innate immune molecules. The CDS for HA tag was as follows: 5′-TACCCATACGACGTCCCAGACTACGCT-3′. All the constructed expressing plasmids were analyzed and verified by DNA sequencing. The porcine IFN-β–promoter-luciferase reporter plasmid was generated by our laboratory previously (24 ). The pRL-TK Renilla luciferase reporter plasmid was kindly provided by Professor Hongbing Shu (Wuhan University, China) (25 (link)).

The full-length porcine RPSA, VIM, ESD, and TPM4 cDNAs were amplified from PK-15 cells and constructed into pcDNATM3.1/myc-His(–)A vector (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to generate plasmids expressing Myc-tagged RPSA (Myc-RPSA), VIM (Myc-VIM), ESD (Myc-ESD), and TPM4 (Myc-TPM4), respectively. The Flag-VP1 expressing plasmid was constructed previously by our laboratory (3 (link)). A series of Flag-tagged truncated VP1 constructs (Flag-VP1-Δ1-35, Flag-VP1-Δ30-65, Flag-VP1-Δ60-95, Flag-VP1-Δ90-125, Flag-VP1-Δ120-155, Flag-VP1-Δ150-185, Flag-VP1-Δ180-214, Flag-VP1-1-115, Flag-VP1-115-214, and Flag-VP1-37-188) were generated by site-directed mutagenesis PCR, as described previously (41 (link)). All of the constructed plasmids were sequenced and analyzed to ensure the accurate insertion of the target genes into the vector plasmids. Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) was used as the transfection reagent. All of the transfection experiments were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The full-length porcine EGR1 cDNA fragment was cloned into a pcDNATM3.1/myc-His(-)A vector (Invitrogen) to construct a Myc-tagged EGR1 eukaryotic expressing plasmid (Myc-EGR1, including a C-terminal Myc tag). The constructed plasmid was analyzed and verified by DNA sequencing. A series of plasmids expressing HA-tagged type I IFN pathway-related proteins [including MDA5, RIG-I(CARD), VISA, TBK1, IRF3 and IRF7], and the IFN-β promoter luciferase reporter plasmids and control plasmid Renilla luciferase pRL-TK were kindly provided by Hongbing Shu’s Laboratory (Zhou et al., 2014 (link); Li D. et al., 2016 (link)). The plasmids were transfected into cells using OPTI-MEM medium and the Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) reagent according to the manufacture’s protocol.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
