Abstract: 【Objective】 Tembusu virus BZ-2010 strain was continuously passaged in specific-pathogen-free embryonic (SPF) eggs in order to select a live attenuated vaccine candidate of good safety and immunogenicity properties. 【Method】 Tembusu virus BZ-2010 strain was cultured for 120 passages in SPF eggs. The safety of the 120th passage viral strain was evaluated with 1-day-old SPF ducklings and 30-week-old egg-laying ducks. The property of virulent return of VC2 viral strain was evaluated with 1-day-old SPF ducklings. The neutralizing antibodies were detected after the 18-week-old breeding ducks were immunized with VC2 strain. The protective effects were evaluated after the 25-week-old breeding ducks were immunized with VC2 strain. E gene and NS4A gene of BZ_2010 and VC2 strains were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. 【Result】 The average death time of SPF eggs was shortened by passage virus and viral titer was increased with the escalation of passage times in SPF chicken embryonic eggs. ELD50 of the 20th virus was 10-5.3/0.1mL and ELD50 of the 120th virus was 10-5.8/0.1mL.The viral titer reached the plateau at passage 80 and remained unchanged further passages. The experimental ducks showed no clinical symptoms after 1-day-old ducklings and 30-week-old breeding ducks were immunized with VC2 strain by subcutaneous injection and by intramuscular injection, respectively. The results showed that VC2 strain had a good safety. No symptoms appeared in 1-day-old ducklings in which VC2 strain were cultured for 5 passages. 1-day-old ducklings were infected with the 5th tissue suspension and no symptoms were observed in liver pathological section by microscope. The results showed that VC2 strain had a good stability. Sequence analysis revealed that the E protein of Tembusu VC2 evolved amino acid changes in positions 86, 157, 189, 301, and 302, respectively. The NS4A protein of Tembusu VC2 only had one amino acid change in position 54 in that phenylalanine was replaced by Leucine. The level of antibodies rose very quickly, reached the plateau at the 4th week and remained a long time. Ducks were challenged by TMUV virulent strain at 2 and 50 weeks after immunization with VC2 strain in the experimental group. There was no symptom, normal stool, and regular egg production in the vaccinated group after challenge of virulent strain. The results showed that VC2 strain could provide complete protection for the challenge of TMUV virulent strain.【Conclusions】 An attenuated strain of TMUV with good immunogenicity and high safety was acquired through serial passages of SPF chicken embryos. The level of antibodies rose very quickly and remained a long time after immunization of the VC2 attenuated strain. The toxicity attack experiments showed that VC2 could provide complete protection for the challenge of TMUV virulent strain.
