    Abstract:

    Objective Human SCARB2 was identified as the functional receptors of EV71 in vitro,so establish more higher infection ability transgenic mice by establishment of hunman SCARB2 transgenic mice in present study.Methods The transgenic vector was constructed by inserting the human SCARB2 gene under the CMV promoter and then were subjected to establish transgenic mice by microinjection. The genotype of transgenic line was identified by PCR and the expression level of target protein was detected by Western blot. Viral load in the tissues of transgenic mice was detecte by immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR. Results One line of transgenic mice in C57BL/6J background with high levels of SCARB2 expression in skeletal muscle and brain was identified. Upon infection with EV71,the virus burden of 4 to 5 times in muscle and brain of transgenic mice were significantly higher than that of wild type mice.Conclusion hSCARB2 is a functional receptor of EV71 in vivo,as expression of it could promote the infection of EV71 on transgenic mice.
