Abstract: According to the gene sequence of DNA polymerase of Goatpox virus, 5 specific siRNA were synthesized, annealed and cloned into RNAi-Ready pSIREN-RetroQ ZsGreen vector. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli DH5α and identified by sequencing. The siRNAs were transfected into the BHK-21 cells. After infection experiment, siRNA vectors were extracted, and evaluated inhibiting effect of siRNA vectors on the gene of DNA polymerase of the Goatpox virus by real-time quantitative PCR (Q-RT PCR). The results showed that the genes of the DNA polymerase of the Goatpox virus could be inhibited by siRNA vectors with an inhibition rate of 63%~93.8%, as well as inhibition rate of pSI-W2 was the obvious highest and 93.8%. In this study, interference sequences, which were able to inhibit the multiplication of Goatpox virus in vitro, obviously, were screened from BHK-21 cells by RNAi technology, and can facilitate further study on the anti-Goatpox virus transgenic sheep.
