ORF2 gene of porcine circovirus type 2 cloned by PCR was ligated to the expression vector pEGFP-N1, which contains enhanced green fluorescent protein （EGFP） report gene, the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-N1-ORF2 was constructed successfully and was transfected into pre- pared duck myocardial cells （DMCs） by lipofectin. According to the result, the fluorescence expression was directly detected with fluorescence microscope, and the expression of ORF2 were analyzed by RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assay （IFA） respectively. About 48 h after transfection, green fluorescent can be observed on transfected cells ： T-PCR and IFA were positive. This indicated that ORF2 gene of PCV2 was expressed efficiently in transfected duck myocardial cells.展开更多
