We investigated the effect of a mixed herb-enriched diet obtained from pomegranate Punica granatum, Dalmatian chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, and mastic-leaved prickly-ash Zanthoxylum schinifolium on innate immune mechanisms (e.g., phagocytosis activity, respiratory burst activity, alternative complement activity, lysozyme activity, and disease resistance) of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus against the scuticociliate Philasterides dicentrarchi. All experimental groups were challenged with P. dicentrarchi (1 x 10(5) ciliates/mL) through intraperitoneal administration of the pathogen (50 microL) on day 1. On day 7, the infected groups were fed 0, 5, 50, and 100 mg/kg of the enriched diets. The innate immune parameters, cumulative mortality, and relative percent survival (RPS) were assessed at weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Administration of 50 or 100 mg/kg of the herbal-enriched diet enhanced immunity throughout the experimental period. However, at the 5-mg/kg dosage, the enriched diet did not enhance the innate immune estimates at any time. At doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg, administration of the diet preceding the challenge with P. dicentrarchi decreased the percentage cumulative mortality in the experimental groups and thereby increased RPS values. This study reports that administration of 50 or 100 mg/kg mixed herbal-enriched diet could positively influence the innate immune response to P. dicentrarchi and enhance the health status of olive flounder with respect to this microbe.  相似文献

Research on intraspecific variation in ciliates is scarce, and in scuticociliate parasite of fish, virtually nonexistent. In this study, seven isolates obtained from turbots affected by scuticociliatosis in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula (northwest Spain and southwest Portugal) were morphologically and genetically characterized to investigate the intraspecific divergence in these amphizoic ciliates. The isolates were stained with ammoniacal silver carbonate and examined in an optical microscope; all were found to have the typical morphological characteristics described for Philasterides dicentrarchi (syn. Miamiensis avidus). Sixteen biometric characteristics of the seven isolates were used in a canonical discrimination analysis (CDA) to select a subset of those that best identified each isolate. Discriminant analysis indicated that the OPK3 width, length of the PM2, length of the buccal field, the body width, L:W ratio, the body length, the OPK1 width and the distance between OPK2 and OPK3 were the most important morphological variables for discriminating the isolates. The first three canonical functions accounted for 86% of the total variance. The scatter plots of the first two canonical variables grouped and separated the P. dicentrarchi isolates into five clusters. Flow cytometry analysis of isolates also indicated intraspecific polymorphisms among P. dicentrarchi isolates. Nuclear markers (a 349-bp and a 390-bp fragment of 18S rRNA and β-tubulin genes) and a 398-bp of the mitochondrial cytocrome oxidase subunit I (Cox1) gene were then used to investigate the intraspecific genetic variation in P. dicentrarchi. Haplotype analysis and neighbour-joining phylogenies of nucleotide sequences of seven isolates revealed a high degree of intraspecific genetic variation among the isolates. Analysis of Cox1 and β-tubulin genes revealed six haplotypes (and clusters) in both cases; however, analysis of the 18S rRNA gene revealed only two haplotypes. The results show clear intraspecific variation at morphological and genetic levels in the scuticociliate P. dicentrarchi, and verify the suitability of mitochondrial (Cox1) and nuclear (β-tubulin) genes for detecting intraspecific genetic variation within populations of scuticociliates that infect cultured turbot. The existence of this intraspecific variation must be taken into account in the design of an effective vaccine to control scuticociliatosis.  相似文献

The present study investigated the immunostimulatory effect of Korean mistletoe Viscum album extract (KM-E) on innate immune response in kelp grouper Epinephelus bruneus against Philasterides dicentrarchi. Kelp grouper were divided into four groups of 25 each and fed with 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% enriched diets with Korean mistletoe extract (KM-E). After feeding for 30 days, the fish were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 100 μl of P. dicentrarchi (4.2 × 10(7)ciliates/ml) to study the immune responses at weeks 1, 2, and 4. The respiratory burst activity did not significantly enhance when fed with 0.5% and 1.0% supplementation diets on week 1 when compared to control diet. On weeks 2 and 4, the respiratory burst activity significantly increased with 1.0% and 2.0% diets. The phagocytic activity significantly enhanced with 1.0% and 2.0% diets, but not with 0.5% diet at any time. When fed with 1.0% KM-E-diet the lysozyme activity did not significantly vary at any week whereas with 1.0% and 2.0% diets it was significantly enhanced. The total protein level significantly increased with 1.0% and 2.0% KM-E-diets from weeks 1 to 4 as compared to control. The present study suggests that 1.0% or 2.0% KM-E-supplementation diet positively enhances the innate immune response in E. bruneus against P. dicentrarchi infection.  相似文献

Scuticociliatosis is a disease of fish induced by ciliated parasites of the genus Scuticociliatida. It has been described in sea horses (Hippocampus sp.), flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus), and turbots (Scophthalmus maximus). Here we present a case study of a population of sea dragons chronically infected with scuticociliates identified as Philasterides dicentrarchi by histopathology and PCR. Beginning in 2004, over a period of 19 months, 10 sea dragons (Phycodurus eques and Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) were found dead in an aquarium of the Zoological Garden Basle, Switzerland. Clinically, the animals showed only faint symptoms of disease over a short period of time. At necropsy, macroscopic lesions were confined to the skin with multiple, often hemorrhagic, ulcerations. Histologically, epidermal ulcers were associated with necrosis and inflammation of the underlying dermis and musculature. Numerous ciliates, with a morphology consistent with scuticociliates, were present in these lesions. In several animals these ciliates had invaded blood vessels and were detected in gills and internal organs including kidney, thyroid gland, and central nervous system (CNS). In these organs, mild degenerative lesions and inflammatory reactions were evident. The ciliates were identified as Philasterides dicentrarchi based on small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSUrRNA) gene sequences obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Our report shows that scuticociliate infections of sea dragons can develop into a systemic infection and that both species of sea dragons can be affected.  相似文献

Oral-vaccine microspheres based on formalin-inactivated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 (AP-1) antigens and enteric-coated polymers were prepared using a co-spray drying process. We evaluated using this for a peroral vaccine. We measured specific-antibody titers and protection from challenge in mouse and pig models. In mice (24 per group), a subcutaneous aluminum-adjuvant vaccine or oral vaccination with three doses of AQ6-AP microspheres provided similar protection against intranasal challenge with 5 x 10(8) colony-formation units (cfu) of AP-1 bacterial culture broth. Two weeks after four oral vaccinations with 600 mg of AQ6-AP microsphere acetate solution (containing formalin-inactivated AP-1 antigens of 1.0 x 10(10) cfu bacterial broth), pigs (9 per group) were challenged intranasally with 1 ml of AP-1 bacterial culture broth (5 x 10(9) cfu). The clinical signs, percentage of pig survival ratio, lung lesion areas, and microscopic examinations indicated that the oral AQ6-AP vaccine provided more protection than vaccinating pigs intramuscularly with AP-1 aluminum vaccine.  相似文献

The protective activity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae inactivated vaccine prepared from sedimented whole cells and cell-free culture supernates was evaluated experimentally using hysterectomy-produced, colostrum-deprived pigs in which mycoplasmal pneumonia had been induced. The culture supernate vaccine containing less than 10(1) colour-changing units (CCU)/0.2 ml of M. hyopneumoniae significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the percentage of lung lesions compared to controls (3.2 +/- 3.9 vs. 12.2 +/- 2.2%), whereas the sedimented whole cells vaccine containing 10(10) CCU/0.2 ml of organisms provided variable protection (18.7 +/- 16.5 vs. 12.2 +/- 2.2%). Serum from the pigs vaccinated with culture supernate reacted with six protein bands of 97, 89, 65, 46, 42 and 41 kDa by immunoblot analysis. From these results, we conclude that vaccination with culture supernate of M. hyopneumoniae can provide protection against M. hyopneumoniae infection and that these antigens in the culture supernate may be closely related to the reduction of lung lesions.  相似文献

The objectives of the present studies were 1) to develop a culture system that has the positive effect of serum on granulosa cell attachment and allows subsequent expression of hormonal effects in serum-free medium and 2) to determine the effect of insulin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), estradiol (E2), and growth hormone (GH) on growth, steroidogenesis, and(or) protein synthesis of bovine granulosa cells. Cells from small (1 to 5 mm) and large (greater than 8 mm) follicles were collected from cattle and cultured for either 4 or 6 d. When cells from small follicles were cultured, insulin (5 micrograms/ml) increased (P less than .05) cell numbers (cells x 10(5)/well) severalfold compared with controls. Alone, EGF (10 ng/ml), FSH (200 ng/ml), LH (200 ng/ml), E2 (2 micrograms/ml), or GH (0 to 1,000 ng/ml) had no effect on cell numbers. However, when included with insulin, 30, 100, and 300 ng/ml of GH increased (P less than .05) granulosa cell numbers on d 4 of culture. Insulin alone increased (P less than .05) progesterone production (ng.10(5) cells-1.24 h-1) by severalfold on d 4, but EGF, FSH, LH, or GH alone had no effect and E2 inhibited progesterone production. In the presence of insulin, FSH and GH (100 ng/ml) increased (P less than .05) progesterone production on d 4 of culture, whereas EGF (10 ng/ml) elicited a decrease (P less than .05) in production. In cells from both sizes of follicles, GH (300 ng/ml) increased synthesis of cellular proteins (greater than 10 kDa). In cells from only large follicles, LH (200 ng/ml) decreased synthesis and secretion of proteins (greater than or equal to 3.5 kDa). These results support the hypothesis that GH may have direct effects on bovine ovarian function.  相似文献

The present study examined the effects of pre-treatment of pig oocytes with different concentrations (0-50 microM) of calcium ionophore A23187 (CaA) on their activation, development and penetration in vitro. Although untreated oocytes were not activated and did not cleave in culture, high proportions of treated oocytes did so and 20% of oocytes developed to the blastocyst stage when treated with 6.25 microM CaA for 2 min. However, these proportions were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner. When inseminated in vitro with 1 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml, the penetration rate of oocytes treated with 6.25 microM CaA was similar to that of untreated oocytes. However, fewer oocytes treated with 12.5 and 50 microM CaA were penetrated than untreated oocytes. On the other hand, the proportion of monospermy of oocytes treated with 6.25 microM CaA was higher than the values in oocytes not treated or treated with 50 microM CaA. The time required for zona dissolution of oocytes treated with 6.25 and 12.5 microM CaA was not different from that in untreated oocytes, but oocytes treated with 50 microM CaA required a longer time than untreated oocytes, indicating that zona solubility by protease does not reflect penetrability of oocytes in vitro. When oocytes were inseminated with different concentrations (1-10 x 10(6) cells/ml) of spermatozoa, the highest penetration rate was observed at 1 x 10(6) cells/ml in untreated oocytes and a similar result was obtained in oocytes treated with 6.25 microM CaA. There was no difference in the rate of monospermy in untreated oocytes among different concentrations of spermatozoa, but in treated oocytes, higher proportions of monospermy were observed at 0.5-5 x 10(6) than 10 x 10(6) cells/ml. At 1 x 10(6) cells/ml, the proportion of monospermy was higher in treated than untreated oocytes. These results suggest that pre-treatment of pig oocytes with 6.25 microM CaA, an appropriate concentration, inhibits polyspermic penetration in vitro when insemination occurs with spermatozoa at a concentration of 1 x 10(6) cells/ml.  相似文献

A temperature sensitive (ts) vaccine strain designated ts-11 was selected after exposure of a low passage culture of the immunogenic Australian field isolate (strain 80083) of Mycoplasma gallisepticum to 100 mg/ml of N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Viable counts (assayed as colour changing units (CCU)/25 microliters) of a thawed stock culture of ts-11 were typically log10 3 to log10 5 higher when incubated at 33 degrees C (the permissive temperature) than duplicate viable counts incubated at 39.5 degrees C (the restrictive temperature). Doses of approximately 2 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 caused no gross lesions or loss of egg production when inoculated into the air sacs of susceptible chickens and no clinical or pathological signs of sinusitis when inoculated into the infraorbital sinuses of susceptible turkey poults, whereas the parent strain 80083 was demonstrably pathogenic. However, 1 of 10 poults inoculated intra-abdominally with approximately 2 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 did show signs of mild airsacculitis. Eight-week-old pullets were vaccinated by eye drop with up to 1.4 x 10(7) CCU of ts-11 and simultaneously subjected to several stressful management practices, without apparent ill effects. Administration by coarse aerosol of 5 ml of ts-11 vaccine/25 day-old broilers, with or without 25 doses of infectious bronchitis virus vaccine caused no obvious signs of respiratory disease. The non virulent ts phenotype was maintained after 3 passages of strain ts-11 in chickens. Chickens vaccinated 3 weeks previously with ts-11 or with strain 80083 were placed in contact with susceptible chickens for a period of 2 weeks.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is still a significant threat facing the Egyptian poultry industry. In this study, eight very virulent IBD viruses (vvIBDV), originating from acute IBD outbreaks recorded in lower and upper Egypt, were studied with respect to their ability to replicate in cell culture, antigenicity and immunogenicity of classic vaccine. Six continuous cell lines and one primary cell culture were tested for replication of the vvIBDVs. None of the vvIBDV isolates could be adapted to BGM-70, Vero, BHK, RK-13 or MDBK cell lines or chicken embryo fibroblast cells after six blind passages. Serological typing with three neutralizing monoclonal antibodies showed antigenic variation among vvIBDVs. The immunogenicity induced by graded doses of classic-intermediate vaccine in both IBD-resistant (Mandarah) and susceptible (Gimmizah) Egyptian chickens was investigated. The protection of the tested doses was evaluated by measurement of the serological response and resistance to vvIBDV challenge 10 days post vaccination. Similar antibody responses to the vaccine were generated over a wide (100-fold) dose range. It was concluded that single vaccination, by eye drops, with classic-intermediate vaccine (1 x) could protect chickens against clinical disease and mortality. However, the immune responses generated by 1 x, 10 x or 100 x vaccine doses did not protect against bursal damage following challenge. This finding points to the highly invasive nature of the prevailing vvIBDVs in Egypt.  相似文献

Development competence and pregnancy rate of in vitro-produced (IVP) dromedary embryos were studied in two culture systems: (i) semi-defined modified medium (mKSOMaa) and (ii) co-culture using camel epithelial oviducal cells. Five hundred and three cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) were selected, allowed to mature, fertilized and cultured in vitro (38.5 degrees C; 5% CO2, maximum humidity > 95%, with concentration of oxygen of 5% for semi-defined medium and 20% for co-culture cells). Maturation was accomplished by incubation in TCM-199 medium supplemented with 10% heat-treated foetal calf serum (FCS), 10 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 1 microg/ml follicle-stimulating hormone, 1 microg/ml oestradiol and 500 microM cysteamine for 30 h. In vitro fertilization (IVF) was performed using fresh semen (0.5 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml in modified TALP solution). Fertilized COCs were denuded by vortexing, then cultured in either mKSOMaa (10% heat-treated FCS was added 24 h post-IVF), under 5% O2 and 90% N2 (group 1; n = 249) or with dromedary epithelial oviducal cell monolayers in TCM-199 with 10% heat-treated FCS under 20% O2 (group 2; n = 254). The rate of cleavage was significant higher (p < 0.05) for group 1 (63%, 156/249) than for group 2 (51%, 130/254). No significant difference was found between the two groups in the rate of development to blastocyst (21% vs 16.5%) and their hatchability (21% vs 14%). Pregnancy rates were similar for the first 60 days. However, all pregnancies were lost after 60 days with the exception of two of six (33%) from recipients of hatched blastocysts from group 1. We conclude that both systems support in vitro production of dromedary embryos by in vitro maturation (IVM)/IVF of oocytes. However, embryos obtained by culture in the semi-defined medium (mKSOMaa) appear to have a better in vivo development ability.  相似文献

The association between quarter somatic-cell counts (QSCCs) of milk and the risk of clinical mastitis (CM) was investigated in a 1-year study on three dairy herds in Somerset, UK. The three herds had 95-130 milking cows and an annual mean bulk milk somatic-cell count (BMSCC) of <150 x 10(3)cells/ml. The farms were visited every 4-6 weeks at morning milking when quarter-milk samples were collected. The farmers recorded all cases of CM and were trained to collect sterile milk samples from affected quarters, before treatment for bacteriology.The three herds had CM incidence rates of 25.4, 55.2, and 67.6 quarter-cases per 100 cow-years. Escherichia coli and Streptococcus uberis were cultured from approximately 50% of cases. QSCC was categorised and the risk of CM occurring in the month after the QSCC was examined using multilevel models to account for the correlated nature of the dependent data. Three models were developed: one for all cases of CM, one for those caused by coliforms and one for those caused by S. uberis. When all cases of CM were considered, quarters with somatic-cell count (SCC) 21-100 x 10(3)cells/ml had reduced odds (OR=0.60, P=0.06) and quarters with SCC >200 x 10(3)cells/ml has over three time the odds (OR=3.7, P<0.01) of CM compared with QSCC 1-20 x 10(3)cells/ml. When only coliform CM were investigated, quarters with SCC 6-200 x 10(3)cells/ml had reduced odds of coliform CM (OR=0.47, P=0.04) compared with QSCC 1-5 x 10(3)cells/ml, and SCC >200 x 10(3)cells/ml were not significantly different from the baseline. Finally, when S. uberis CM were investigated, quarters with SCC >200 x 10(3)cells/ml had more than three times the odds of S. uberis CM compared with QSCC 1-20 x 10(3)cells/ml (OR=3.73, P<0.01). QSCC <21 x 10(3) and >200 x 10(3)cells/ml are associated with increased odds of CM in the following 4-6 weeks; this association may be pathogen specific.  相似文献

Four-week-old poults obtained from avian pneumovirus (APV) antibody-free parents were vaccinated with different serial 10-fold dilutions of cell culture-propagated APV vaccine. The birds were vaccinated with 50 microl into each conjunctival space and nostril (total of 200 microl). Each poult of each group was vaccinated in groups that received doses of 4 x 10(4), 4 x 10(3), 4 x 10(2), 4 x 10(1), or 4 x 10(0) 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) of APV vaccine, respectively. Respiratory signs were seen between 3 and 12 days postvaccination (PV) in the poults that were vaccinated with 4 x 10(4), 4 x 10(3), and 4 x 10(2) TCID50, respectively. In these groups, APV was detected from swabs collected at 5 days PV and seroconversion was detected at 2 wk PV. The groups that were originally vaccinated with 4 x 10(1) and 4 x 10(0) TCID50 developed mild clinical signs after vaccination, but neither virus nor antibody was detected PV. At 2 wk PV (6 wk of age), birds from each group, along with five unvaccinated controls, were challenged with APV. Upon challenge, the 4 x 10(4) and 4 x 10(3) TCID50 groups were protected against development of clinical signs and were resistant to reinfection. The group previously vaccinated with 4 x 10(2) TCID50 developed clinical signs after challenge that were considerably milder than those seen in the groups that had previously been vaccinated with lower doses or no virus. Even though 4 x 10(2) TCID50 vaccine dose administered by intranasal ocular route resulted in infection, incomplete protection resulted with this pivotal dose. Upon challenge, the 4 x 10(1) and 4 x 10(0) TCID50 groups exhibited milder disease signs than those seen in the challenged unvaccinated controls. In these groups, APV was detected in preparations of swabs collected at 5 days postchallenge (PC) and seroconversion was detected at 2 wk PC. These results indicate that the dose of APV vaccine that causes protection is higher than that required to produce infection.  相似文献

Effectiveness of 2 concentrations of a monovalent vaccine containing Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis was evaluated for protection of heifers from infection with type hardjo-bovis. Nine heifers were given 2 doses of low-dose vaccine (8.32 x 10(8) cells/dose); 9 heifers were given 2 doses of high-dose vaccine (8.32 x 10(9) cells/dose); and 1 steer and 1 heifer were maintained as nonvaccinated controls. Groups of vaccinated cattle were challenge-exposed with serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis at 7 (n = 6), 11 (n = 6), or 15 (n = 6) weeks after completion of vaccination. All cattle were challenge-exposed by conjunctival instillation of 1 x 10(5) hardjo-bovis cells on 3 consecutive days. Both control and all vaccinated cattle became infected and shed serovar hardjo type hardjo-bovis in their urine. Leptospires were detected in 15 of 16 (94%) urine samples from control cattle and in 124 of 143 (87%) samples from vaccinated cattle. Leptospires were detected in kidneys of 17 of 18 vaccinated cattle and 2 of 2 control cattle and in the uterus or oviducts of 13 of 18 vaccinates and the 1 control heifer.  相似文献

The lymphocyte transformation (LT) test was performed using duck blood lymphocytes stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), lentil lectin (LC), Roman snail lectin (HP), peanut agglutinin (PNA), Bandeiraea simplicifolia seed lectin (BSS), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), horseshoe crab lectin (HSC), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells were cultured in microtitre trays, at 41.6 degrees C, 8 x 10(5) cells in 200 microliters medium (= 4 x 10(6) cells/ml) supplemented with 10% pooled duck serum. Mitogens were added at final concentrations of 0.1-100 micrograms/ml and triplicate cultures at each concentration were harvested daily for scintillation counting 6 hr after addition of 1 microCi [3H]thymidine. Three patterns of response were observed. The responses to Con A, LC, HP and HSC were greatest at high mitogen concentrations (40-100 micrograms/ml) throughout the 7 days of culture. With PHA, PNA, WGA and LPS maximum stimulation was obtained at 3-5 days, at which time the cells were responding to lower concentrations of mitogen than were required at other times during the experiment. The response to BSS and PWM showed increasing sensitivity to lower concentrations of mitogen during the first 3 days of culture and then stimulated most strongly at 2-10 micrograms/ml in cultures harvested after 4-7 days. Cells from two ducks were cultured for 3 and 5 days with selected concentrations of these mitogens; the results confirmed the variation in response to different mitogens. It is possible that these patterns of response are the outcome of stimulating different populations of duck lymphocytes.  相似文献

A study was conducted to elucidate hormonal control of ketogenesis and glycogen deposition in primary cultures of porcine hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were isolated from pigs (54-68 kg) by collagenase perfusion and seeded into collagen-coated T-25 flasks. Monolayers were established in medium containing fetal bovine serum for 1 day and switched to a serum-free medium for the remainder of the culture period. Hepatocytes were maintained in DMEM/M199 containing 1% DMSO, dexamethasone (10(-6) or 10(-7) M), linoleic acid (3.4 x 10(-5) M), and carnitine (10(-3) M) for 3 days. On the first day of serum-free culture, insulin was added at 1 or 100 ng/ml and glucagon was added at 0, 1, or 100 ng/ml. Recombinant human leptin (200 ng/ml) was added during the final 24 h; medium and all cells were harvested on the third day. Concentrations of acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate (ketone bodies) in media and glycogen deposition in the cellular compartment were determined. Ketogenesis was highly stimulated by glucagon (1 and 100 ng/ml) and inhibited by insulin. In contrast, glycogen deposition was stimulated by insulin and attenuated by glucagon; high insulin was also associated with a reduction in the ketone body ratio (acetoacetate:beta-hydroxybutyrate). High levels of dexamethasone stimulated ketogenesis, but inhibited glycogen deposition at low insulin. Culture of cells with leptin for 24 h, over the range of insulin, glucagon, and dexamethasone concentrations had no effect on either glycogen deposition or ketogenesis. These data suggest that while adult porcine hepatocytes are indeed sensitive to hormonal manipulation, leptin has no direct influence on hepatic energy metabolism in swine.  相似文献

This study was performed to isolate a vaccine strain of S. aureus from clinical or subclinical mastitis and to choose the most optimal adjuvant for immune response of alpha toxin and capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of field strain. Of thirty strains of S. aureus isolated from milk of clinical or subclinical mastitis, V112 strain isolated from milk of gangrenous mastitis was used in this vaccine. Twenty one of rabbits were allocated into 5 groups based on adjuvants and immunized twice every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. This vaccine was composed of alpha toxin (10 hemolytic units) and formalinized whole cells (1 x 10(11) cells/ml. Five rabbits received PBS solution as a control group. The highest antibody titers against alpha toxin and CPS were observed in dextran sulfate- and aluminium hydroxide-adjuvant group at 8 weeks after immunization, respectively. These results of the study showed that one adjuvant could not induce strong and long-term immune response of alpha toxin and CPS antigens. Therefore, the use of combined adjuvants in subunit vaccine may be useful and feasible.  相似文献

To determine a suitable source of tumor cells that would readily adapt to in vitro growth, attempts were made to culture lymphoid tumor cells in soft agar from several neoplastic organs from chickens with lymphoid leukosis. Of 10 tumors from 7 chickens, cells from only two--both from enlarged bursae--were grown successfully. The remaining 8 tumors failed to propagate. The two cell lines thus established have been propagated by serial passage for more than two years in continuous culture. The two cell lines grow as single, free-floating cells in suspension. Morphologically they are usually round, about 8-10 microns in diameter, and have the characteristics of lymphoblastoid cells. They propagate to a maximum concentration of about 1-2 X 10(6)/ml and release infective virus of subgroup A to titers as high as 10(7) TCID/ml. Their leukosis/sarcoma virus susceptibility phenotype is C/E. Lymphoid tumors developed on chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) of 10-day-old embryonated eggs of the BK line 7 days after inoculation, whereas no tumors developed on CAMs from the 15I line.  相似文献

A classical live attenuated sheep pox vaccine was prepared using the Ranipet strain of sheep pox virus (SPV) at the 50th passage in a secondary lamb testicular cell system. The TCID50 and RD50 were 10(9.63)/ml and 10(9.51)/ml. respectively. The SID50 of SPV challenge virus was 10(5)/ml. The vaccine was found to have no adverse effects in laboratory animals, and was safe and effective in SPV seronegative lambs. In the field, 660 sheep were vaccinated with an immunizing dose containing 1 x 10(2) TCID50. Randomly selected vaccinated sheep mounted good cell-mediated immunity and humoral responses as measured by glucose utilization test and serum neutralization test, respectively, for the study period of 6 months.  相似文献
