PG - 119-127 LID - S0042-6822(23)00009-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.virol.2023.01.009 [doi] AB - Codon pair deoptimization (CPD) attenuated type I porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Infectious clones covering the full genome of a Korean type I PRRSV (E38) were synthesized, and CPD induced nine synonymous mutants of NSP1 (n = 1) and ORF7 (n = 8). In a trial to rescue live viruses from infectious clones, only four clones with mutations at nt 177 downstream of ORF7 were rescued, which showed a substantial decrease in cellular replication ability. The rescue-failed clones had two common mutation sites with a high minimum free energy and significantly modified RNA secondary structure relative to the original virus. In infected pigs, CPD viruses demonstrated significantly lower replication ability and pathogenicity than the original virus. However, immune response level induced by the attenuated viruses and the original virus was similar. This is the first study to demonstrate that type I PRRSV virulence can be attenuated through CPD application to ORF7. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
