Thirty-two bovine field isolates of bluetongue virus (BTV), 6 field isolates of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) from deer, 4 BTV prototype serotypes (10, 11, 13, and 17), and 2 EHDV prototype serotypes (1 and 2) were coelectrophoresed, using polyacrylamide gels. Field isolates were obtained from various regions of the United States. Analysis of polyacrylamide gels and scattered plots generated for comparison of migration patterns for different isolates within each serotype of BTV revealed wide variation among the individual segments. The BTV serotypes 10 and 11 had more variation, compared with BTV serotypes 13 and 17, especially for migration of genome segment 5. A definitive correlation was not seen between the double-stranded RNA migration profiles on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, geographic origin, herd of origin, or year of collection. One BTV field isolate contained more than 1 electropherotype, with 2 bands at the segment-7 position, and it was further characterized as BTV serotype 11. Segments 2 and 5 of EHDV isolates were more variable in their migration than were the other gene segments. Generally, migration profiles for EHDV double-stranded RNA were more variable, compared with those of BTV isolates. Although a correlation was found between migration profiles and serotype of 2 isolates of EHDV, a study of additional EHDV isolates is required before the diversity of electrophoretic patterns of EHDV can be determined.  相似文献

Potential diagnostic complementary DNA (cDNA) clones of gene segments 2 and 3 from epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 1 (EHDV-1) have been produced. Individual segments of EHDV-1 were isolated, denatured with methylmercury hydroxide, and polyadenylated. The polyadenylated RNA was reverse-transcribed and self-hybridized into duplex structures, and the incomplete ends were repaired. The resulting product was then cloned into the plasmid vector pBR322, using the complementary tailing method. Two clones, 1 from segment 2 (E1-2-10) and 1 from segment 3 (E1-3-16) were isolated, colony-purified, and characterized by cDNA/RNA blot hybridization and endonuclease restriction analysis. The cDNA clones of RNA segment 3 of EHDV-1 cross hybridized with the corresponding segment of EHDV serotype 2 by results of cDNA/RNA blot hybridization, but not with RNA of bluetongue virus serotypes isolated in the United States. After cDNA/RNA dot-blot hybridization analysis of 17 EHDV field strains, the segment-2 clone was found to be serotype-specific, whereas the segment-3 clone was serogroup-specific.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been developed to detect antibodies to epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer virus (EHDV). The assay incorporates a monoclonal antibody to EHDV serotype 2 (EHDV-2) that demonstrates specificity for the viral structural protein, VP7. The assay was evaluated with sequential sera collected from cattle experimentally infected with EHDV serotype 1 (EHDV-1) and EHDV-2, as well as the four serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV), BTV-10, BTV-11, BTV-13, and BTV-17, that currently circulate in the US. A competitive and a blocking format as well as the use of antigen produced from both EHDV-1- and EHDV-2-infected cells were evaluated. The assay was able to detect specific antibody as early as 7 days after infection and could differentiate animals experimentally infected with EHDV from those experimentally infected with BTV. The diagnostic potential of this assay was demonstrated with field-collected serum samples from cattle, deer, and buffalo.  相似文献

The genomes of U.S. bluetongue viruses, an Australian bluetongue virus, and three other related orbiviruses were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The genomes were comprised of ten segments of double-stranded (ds) RNA. Estimates of the molecular weights of the dsRNA segments revealed that the U.S. bluetongue serotypes were remarkably similar. Although the dsRNA profiles of the viruses exhibited common segments, each virus had a distinct dsRNA profile. The usefulness of the genome analysis as a diagnostic tool for identification and for epidemiologic studies is discussed.  相似文献

In the present study, a multiplex RT-PCR-based assay for simultaneous detection and differentiation of North American serotypes of bluetongue (BT) virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus (EHDV) in cell culture and clinical samples was developed. Two pairs of primers (B1 and B4) and (E1 and E4) were designed to hybridize to non-structural protein 1 (NS1) genomes of (BTV-11) and (EHDV-1), respectively. The multiplex PCR-based assay utilized a single tube-PCR amplification in which EHDV and BTV primers were used simultaneously in a multiplex format. The BTV primers generated a 790 base pair (bp) specific PCR product from RNA samples of North American BTV serotypes 2, 10, 11, 13 and 17; whereas EHDV serotypes 1 and 2 or total nucleic acid extract from non-infected baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells failed to demonstrate the 790bp specific BTV PCR product. Likewise, the EHDV primers produced a 387bp specific PCR product from RNA samples of EHDV serotypes 1 and 2, but not from BTV serotypes 2, 10, 11, 13, 17 or from total nucleic acid extract of BHK cell controls.Two pairs of nested primers (B2 and B3) and (E2 and E3), internal to the annealing sites of primers (B1and B4) and primers (E1 and E4), produced a 520bp specific BTV and a 224bp specific EHDV PCR product from BTV and EHDV first amplification products, respectively. These nested amplifications increased the sensitivity of the PCR assay and confirmed the specificity of the first amplified EHDV or BTV PCR products. The described multiplex RT-PCR-based assay could be used to facilitate rapid detection and differentiation of North American BTV and EHDV serotypes and to provide a valuable tool to study the epidemiology of these orbivirus infections in susceptible animal populations.  相似文献

Coding assignments of genome segments 1 and 2 of Chuzan virus strain K-47 were studied in vitro by using rabbit reticulocyte lysates. The double-stranded RNA segment was extracted from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels by a modified crushing and eluting technique. Translation products labeled with [35S]methionine were resolved by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of the products from RNA segments 1 and 2 were estimated to be 98 and 95 kilodaltons, respectively.  相似文献

No major differences in size were observed when both the double-stranded RNA and the polypeptides of the Australian bluetongue virus (BTV) isolate CSIRO 19 (BTV-20) were compared with those of other BTV serotypes such as BTV-10 and BTV-4. Minor capsid polypeptide P6 of both BTV-20 and BTV-4, which electrophoreses as a single band on continuous phosphate buffered gels, in separated into 2 distinct bands on discontinuous glycine-buffered gels. This was not the case with BTV-10. Cross-immune precipitation of BTV-20 with BTV-10, BTV-17, BTV-4 and BTV-3 indicated strong immunological cross-reaction of the group-specific antigen P7 of the different serotypes. There was also some cross-immune precipitation of the serotype-specific polypeptide P2 of BTV-20 and BTV-4. This result is in agreement with the observed cross neutralization of these 2 viruses. The main distinction between BTV-20 and the other BTV serotypes was observed in cross-hybridization experiments. The homology between the nucleic acid of BTV-20 and other BTV serotypes was less than 30%, whereas homology normally found between BTV serotypes is at least 70%. The hybridization products of the different BTV serotypes were analysed by electrophoresis and fluorography. Two main hybrid segments were observed in all heterologous hybridizations with BTV-20 as a compared with 7 hybrid segments in hybridizations between BTV-4 and BTV-10. In order to determine from which genome segment of BTV-20 these 2 hybrid segments were derived, the hybridizations were carried out with individually purified double-stranded RNA segments. These results indicate that the 2 segments of BTV-20 that show the largest homology to corresponding segments of a heterologous BTV serotype are No. 7 and 10.  相似文献

A serogroup-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and isolate identification strategies (restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) and nucleotide sequencing) were developed for the detection of North American isolates of epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). PCR primers (EHDV-pr4, EHDV-pr5) were designed to hybridize to the L3 gene of a North American isolate of EHDV serotype 1. Total nucleic acid was extracted from preparations of infected tissue culture and PCR was performed using a cDNA-PCR kit, according to the manufacturer's specifications. The PCR assay generated a 459 base pair product from North American isolates of EHDV serotypes 1 and 2, while bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes 10, 11, 13, and 17, and cell controls, failed to demonstrate PCR products. Slight modifications allowed for the PCR detection of EHDV-1 and -2 in white-tailed deer blood (Odocoileus virginiatus); PCR fragments were not amplified from uninfected deer blood. A number of restriction endonucleases and sequencing primers were evaluated for their utility in isolate identification experiments. Specifically, REA employing HincII and cycle sequencing with an internal primer (EHDV-1-pr3) proved most successful for identifying isolate-specific genome markers. The techniques presented are expected to prove valuable for rapid and specific detection of possible future EHDV incursions in wild and domestic animal species.  相似文献

The Palyam serogroup-specific antigen, VP7, of Chuzan virus strain K-47 was expressed in insect cells by a recombinant baculovirus. The expressed protein appeared as a single band of 38kDa corresponding to the predicted molecular mass of Chuzan virus VP7 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). In immunoprecipitation analysis, the recombinant VP7 was not only recognized by all polyclonal antibodies against the Palyam serogroup viruses (PALV) tested in this study, but also by antisera to bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 1, epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotypes 1 and 2. However, in Western immunoblot assay, no positive signals were observed between this protein and these antisera, even in the homologous reaction using antiserum to Chuzan virus. These findings demonstrate that the common antigenic determinants on the VP7 proteins of Chuzan virus and the other PALV serotypes are mainly conformational and that the proteins share some epitopes with those of BTV and EHDV beyond the serogroup. No cross-reactivities were detected between Chuzan virus VP7 and antisera to BTV and EHDV in agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and indirect ELISA tests, indicating that the recombinant VP7 is useful as a diagnostic reagent for serological tests of congenital abnormalities of cattle caused by PALV.  相似文献

Genome segment 10 of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 11 UC8 strain was cloned and subsequently hybridized to viral double-stranded RNA extracted from 90 field isolates of BTV serotypes 10, 11, 13, and 17; the prototype strains of BTV 2, 10, 11, 13, and 17; the prototype strain epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotype 1; and 4 field isolates of EHDV serotype 2. The 90 field isolates were obtained from different counties in California, Louisiana, and Idaho during the years 1979, 1980, and 1981. The cloned genetic probe hybridized with all the BTV samples tested, showing different degrees of cross-hybridization at the stringency conditions used in this study. This indicated that BTV genome segment 10 has conserved nucleotide sequences among the BTV serotypes 2, 10, 11, 13, and 17. No cross-hybridization signals were detected between the cloned genome segment 10 of BTV 11 UC8 strain and the prototype strain of EHDV serotype 1 and the field isolates of serotype 2. This probe recognized a wide variety of BTV isolates.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare replication of bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) in pulmonary artery endothelial cells (ECs) obtained from juvenile cattle, sheep, white-tailed deer (WTD; Odocoileus virginianus), and black-tailed deer (BTD; O hemionus columbianus). SAMPLE POPULATION: Cultures of pulmonary artery ECs obtained from 3 cattle, 3 sheep, 3 WTD, and 1 BTD. PROCEDURE: Purified cultures of pulmonary artery ECs were established. Replication, incidence of infection, and cytopathic effects of prototype strains of BTV serotype 17 (BTV-17) and 2 serotypes of EHDV (EHDV-1), and (EHDV-2) were compared in replicate cultures of ECs from each of the 4 ruminant species by use of virus titration and flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS: All 3 viruses replicated in ECs from the 4 ruminant species; however, BTV-17 replicated more rapidly than did either serotype of EHDV. Each virus replicated to a high titer in all ECs, although titers of EHDV-1 were significantly lower in sheep ECs than in ECs of other species. Furthermore, all viruses caused extensive cytopathic effects and a high incidence of cellular infection; however, incidence of cellular infection and cytopathic effects were significantly lower in EHDV-1-infected sheep ECs and EHDV-2-infected BTD ECs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: There were only minor differences in replication, incidence of infection, and cytopathic effects for BTV-17, EHDV-1, or EHDV-2 in ECs of cattle, sheep, BTD, and WTD. It is not likely that differences in expression of disease in BTV- and EHDV-infected ruminants are attributable only to species-specific differences in the susceptibility of ECs to infection with the 2 orbiviruses.  相似文献

Ibaraki virus, which causes a bluetongue-like disease of cattle in Japan, was compared antigenically with the four serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV) found in the U.S. and with the two serotypes of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). No antigenic relationship was found between Ibaraki virus and BTV serotypes 10, 11, 13, and 17 in tests for group or serotype-specific antigens. However, Ibaraki virus and EHDV were related antigenically. The agar gel precipitin and indirect fluorescent antibody tests for group antigens showed two-way cross relationships between Ibaraki virus and EHDV serotypes 1 and 2. The more restrictive serotype-specific neutralization test revealed that antigenic relatedness was stronger between Ibaraki virus and the serotype 2 (Alberta strain) of EHDV than between Ibaraki virus and the serotype 1 (New Jersey strain) of EHDV.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding two of the major inner capsid proteins of Ibaraki virus (IBAV), belonging to epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 2 (EHDV-2) were determined. The L3 RNA segment is 2768 nucleotides in length which encodes VP3 polypeptides of 899 amino acid residues (M.W. 103 kDa). The S7 RNA segment, which encodes the VP7 core protein, is 1162 nucleotides in length and encodes 349 amino acids (M.W. 38 kDa). These RNA segments had the characteristic consensus motifs of Orbivirus RNA segments in termini, namely 5'-GUUAAA... and ...ACUUAC-3'. The comparison of the IBAV L3 and S7 sequences with those of other two EHDV-2 isolates revealed the higher homologies of 93% and 92% against EHDV-2 Australia isolate (EHDV-2AUS) and lower homologies of 80% and 81% against EHDV-2 North America isolate, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis based on L3 and S7 genes also indicated close relationships between IBAV and EHDV-2AUS. KEY WORDS: dsRNA gene, lbaraki virus, inner capsid, VP3, VP7.  相似文献

The nucleic acid and structural proteins of infectious bursal disease virus serotype I (six isolates) were compared with those of serotype II (two isolates). Five of the serotype I isolates originated from chickens, whereas both serotype II isolates were from turkeys. The growth curves of representative isolates of both serotypes were similar, but the latent period and virus yield were different. The seven isolates tested had two segments of double-stranded genomic RNA. The RNA migration patterns of viruses belonging to each serotype were similar, but differences were noticed between the two serotypes. There were differences in the molecular weights of viral proteins (VP) 3 and 4 from the two serotypes, and serotype II isolates lacked VP-2.  相似文献

The physico-chemical structure of African horsesickness virus (AHSV) is compared with that of some of the other members of the Reoviridae, and in particular with that of bluetongue virus (BTV), the type strain of the orbivirus genus. This study adduces evidence of a great similarity between the gel electrophoretic patterns of the polypeptides of AHSV and BTV. The molecular mass values of the 7 AHSV polypeptides range between 0,30 x 10(5) and 1,46 x 10(5) dalton, a variation similar to that of BTV. The close relation between AHSV and BTV is further affirmed by the gel electrophoretic resolution of the AHSV double-stranded RNA genome into 10 segments.  相似文献

African horse sickness virus structure   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
African horse sickness virus (AHSV), of which there are nine serotypes (AHSV-1, -2, etc.), is a member of Orbivirus genus within the Reoviridae family. Both in morphology and molecular constituents AHSV particles are comparable to those of bluetongue virus (BTV), the prototype virus of the genus. The two viruses have seven structural proteins (VP1–7) organized in two layered capsid. The outer capsid is composed of VP2 and VP5. The inner capsid, or core, is composed of two major proteins, VP3 and VP7, and three minor proteins, VP1, VP4 and VP6. Within the core is the virus genome. This genome consists of 10 double-stranded (ds)RNA segments of different sizes, three large, designated L1–L3, three medium, M4–M6, and four small, S7–S10. In addition to the seven stuctural proteins that are coded by seven of the RNA species, four non-structural proteins, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS3A, are coded by three RNA segments, M5, S8 and S10. The two smallest proteins (NS3 and NS3A) are synthesized by the S10 RNA segment, probably from different in-frame translation initiation codons. Nucleotide sequences of eight RNA segments (L2, L3, M4, M5, M6, S7, S8 and S10) and the predicted amino acid sequences of the encoded gene products are also available, mainly representing one serotype, AHSV-4. In this review the properties of the AHSV genes and gene products are discussed. The sequence and hybridization analyses of the different AHSV dsRNA segments indicate that the segments that code for the core proteins, as well as those that code for NS1 and NS2 proteins, are highly conserved between the different virus serotypes. However, the RNA encoding NS3 and NS3A, and the two segments encoding the outer capsid proteins, are more variable between the AHSV serotypes. A close phylogenetic relationship between AHSV, BTV and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), three Culicoides-transmitted orbiviruses, has been revealed when the equivalent sequences of genes and gene products are compared. Recently, the four major AHSV capsid proteins have been expressed using recombinant baculoviruses. Biochemically and antigenically these proteins are similar to the authentic proteins. Since the AHSV VP7 protein is highly conserved among the different serotypes, it has been utilized as a diagnostic reagent. The expressed VP7 protein has also been purified to homogeneity and crystallized for three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The expressed outer capsid proteins, VP2 and VP5, have been purified and used to raise antisera in rabbits. The VP2 antisera neutralize virus infections in vitro indicating the importance of this protein for vaccine development.  相似文献

In 1987 a serological survey of cattle for antibodies (Ab) to bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) was undertaken in British Columbia and southwestern Alberta after infection with the viruses was diagnosed in wild and domestic ruminants in the Okanagan Valley. Of 4610 cattle tested, five had Ab only to BTV, 125 had antibodies only to EHDV and 16 had Ab to both viruses. The Ab were identified as specific for BTV type 11 (BT-11) or EHDV type 2 (EHDV-2). All but one of the seropositive cattle originated in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. The remaining one seropositive animal which had Ab to EHDV-2 was pastured with a bull purchased from the Okanagan Valley.  相似文献
