Abstract: 【Objective】This experiment was conducted to assess the relationship between the 631 amino acid variations of chicken Mx protein and the disease resistance. 【Method】 Mutant pcDNA3.0-MMx and wild-type pcDNA3.0-Mx plasmids of Mx protein gene of Chinese Langshan chicken were constructed successfully, then the CEF and NIH-3T3 cells were transfected by mutant pcDNA3.0-MMx and wild-type pcDNA3.0-Mx plasmids, respectively. RT-PCR was used to identify the expression of mutant MMx and wild-type Mx genes and the mini-cytopathic effect inhibition assay was used to evaluate the antiviral activity for Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). 【Result】 The recombinant Mx protein protected the CEF cells from NDV infection up to 48-h incubation while the NIH-3T3 cells transfected by pcDNA3.0-MMx were not infected by 60-h incubation with VSV, however, the CEF and NIH-3T3 cells transfected by pcDNA3.0-Mx developed pathological changes during 24-h incubation with the viruses. 【Conclusion】 Recombinant Mx protein could delay the infection of NDV and VSV at single-cell level.
