OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of recombinant human interferon alfa-2a and recombinant human interferon alfa-B/D hybrid against cytopathic and noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV), and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in vitro. SAMPLE POPULATION: Primary bovine testicular cells and Mardin Darby bovine kidney cells. PROCEDURES: To evaluate cytotoxicity, cells were added to serial dilutions of each interferon. To evaluate antiviral activity of each interferon, interferons were serially diluted 1:10, and tissue culture cells were added; virus was then added at 3 time points. Prevention of viral infection by interferon was defined as failure to induce cytopathologic effect for VSV, IBRV, and cytopathic BVDV and failure to detect virus immunohistochemically for cytopathic and noncytopathic BVDV. RESULTS: No evidence of cytotoxicity in either cell line was detected after incubation with interferon alfa-2a or interferon alfa-B/D. However, reduced growth rates of tissue culture cells were detected for each interferon when undiluted interferon was tested. Comparable and profound antiviral activities against cytopathic and noncytopathic BVDV were evident for each interferon. Interferon alfa-2a and interferon a-B/D had comparable antiviral activities against VSV. Neither interferon had antiviral activity against IBRV. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The safety and marked in vitro antiviral activity against noncytopathic BVDV, cytopathic BVDV, and VSV suggest that interferons alfa-2a and alfa-B/D may be useful for treatment of natural disease after infection with these viruses. 相似文献

Immune responses to non-structural protein 3 (NS3) of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) were investigated. cDNA encoding NS3 from type 1a BVDV was used to vaccinate five calves, another five calves remained unvaccinated. Three weeks after final vaccination animals were challenged intranasally with heterologous type 1a BVDV. Anti-NS3 antibodies were detected in only one animal post-vaccination. Partial protection from virus challenge was observed in the vaccinates. Virus was not isolated from nasal mucosa of two vaccinates, and virus clearance from nasal mucosa was faster in the vaccinates compared to the controls. While elevated rectal temperatures were evident in both groups 7 days post-challenge, the mean increase in the controls was twice that observed in the vaccinates. In conclusion, NS3 DNA vaccination induced humoral immunity in one calf, and prevented fever and virus establishment in the nasal mucosa in 2/5 calves, demonstrating the efficacy of NS3 vaccination, which may benefit future development of pestivirus and flavivirus vaccines. 相似文献

The bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strains exist as two biotypes, cytopathic (cp) and noncytopathic (ncp), according to their effects on tissue culture cells. It has been previously reported that cell death associated to cp BVDV in vitro is mediated by apoptosis. Here, experiments were conducted to determine the involvement of the NS3 protein in the induction of apoptosis. The NS3- and NS3Delta50 (deleted from the NH2-terminal 50 amino acids)-cDNA encoding sequences of BVDV NADL cp reference strain were cloned into adenoviral vectors (AdV) from which the BVDV gene of interest could be expressed from a tetracycline-responsive promoter. A549tTA cells infected in vitro with NS3 or NS3Delta50-expressing AdV showed cytopathic changes characterized by cell rounding and detachment, and nucleus chromatin condensation. DNA fragmentation assays, cytochrome c release, and activation of cellular caspases performed on these infected cells clearly correlated with the observed cytopathic changes with apoptosis. The BVDV NS3Delta50-induced apoptotic process was inhibited by caspase-8- and -9-specific peptide inhibitors (Z-IETD-FMK and Z-LEHD-FMK). Furthermore, apoptosis was inhibited in cells expressing the R1 subunit of herpes simplex virus type 2 ribonucleotide reductase (HSV2-R1) or hsp70, two proteins which are known to inhibit apoptosis associated with caspase-8 activation and cytochrome c release-dependent caspase-9 activation, respectively. Given that HSV2-R1, a specific inhibitor of the caspase-8 activation pathway, efficiently suppressed apoptosis and also prevented caspase-9 activation, the overall results indicate that the BVDV NS3/NS3Delta50 induces apoptosis initiated by caspase-8 activation and subsequent cytochrome c release-dependent caspase-9 activation. 相似文献

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection is an important risk factor for development of shipping fever pneumonia in feedlot cattle, and infects but does not cause morphologic evidence of damage to airway epithelial cells. We hypothesized that BVDV predisposes to bacterial pneumonia by impairing innate immune responses in airway epithelial cells. Primary cultures of bovine tracheal epithelial cells were infected with BVDV for 48 h, then stimulated with LPS for 16 h. Expression of tracheal antimicrobial peptide (TAP) and lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP) mRNA was measured by quantitative RT-PCR, and lactoferrin concentrations were measured in culture supernatant by ELISA. BVDV infection had no detectable effect on the constitutive expression of TAP and LAP mRNA or lactoferrin concentration in culture supernatant. LPS treatment provoked a significant increase in TAP mRNA expression and lactoferrin concentration in the culture supernatant (p<0.01), and these effects were significantly (p<0.02, p<0.01) abrogated by prior infection of the tracheal epithelial cells with the type 2 ncp-BVDV isolate. In contrast, infection with the type 1 ncp-BVDV isolate had no effect on TAP mRNA expression or lactoferrin secretion. LPS treatment induced a significant (p<0.001) upregulation of LAP mRNA expression, which was not significantly affected by prior infection with BVDV. These data indicate that infection with a type 2 BVDV isolate inhibits the LPS-induced upregulation of TAP mRNA expression and lactoferrin secretion by tracheal epithelial cells, suggesting a novel mechanism by which this virus abrogates respiratory innate immune responses and predisposes to bacterial pneumonia in cattle. 相似文献

Functional interaction between lymphoid cells and lymphotropic viruses is particularly evident for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in cattle and its closely related virus, the border disease virus (BVDV) in sheep. The most important aspect of acute or chronic phases of BVDV or BDV infection was the host's increased susceptibility to secondary bacterial or viral infection. To study the ability of BVDV to alter the development of the cellular immune responses to concomitant inoculation with T cell-dependent and T cell-independent antigens, lambs were inoculated twice with rabbit RBC and Escherichia coli lipopolysacharide (LPS) and then were infected with a cytopathic strain of BVDV at postinoculation day 3. Leukopenia characterized by lymphopenia developed after BVDV infection. Increased [3H]thymidine incorporation was observed in resting or lectin-stimulated blood mononuclear cells in the first weeks after inoculation in BVDV-infected lambs, but was followed by decreased [3H]thymidine incorporation after the second inoculation for up to 8 weeks after initial inoculation. In contrast, transient decrease of blastogenic responses, associated with toxic effect of LPS, was detected in inoculated noninfected lambs, but was followed by stimulation of cellular immune responses. Inoculated noninfected lambs had good in vitro cellular immune response to rabbit RBC and LPS antigens, whereas lymphocytes from BVDV-infected lambs could not mount lasting cellular immune responses to antigens or BVDV. Results suggest that BVDV infection in lambs modulates the ability of lymphocytes to respond to lectins or antigenic stimuli according to the time after infection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the kinetics of noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) multiplication and synthesis of BVDV specific RNA and proteins in ovine cells (SFT-R) during a one-step growth curve. The virus titre and RNA level were determined by focus-forming assay and real time RT-PCR. The RNA synthesis was detected by Northern blot while synthesis of E2 and NS3 proteins was assayed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The results showed that synthesis of viral RNA is initiated at 4 h, NS3 and E2 proteins are detectable at 6-7 h and the replication cycle is complete at 10-12 h. Additionally, we provide evidence that NS2-3 protein was cleaved in ovine cells early during infection and in proliferated leukocytes of acutely infected sheep. This study showed that synthesis of BVDV RNA and proteins in ovine cells occurs at similar times as found in bovine cells. 相似文献

Antibodies against non-structural protein 3 (NS3, p80) of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) were determined in milk from cows vaccinated with an inactivated BVDV vaccine and compared to serum antibody levels. Animals in one herd were vaccinated with an inactivated BVDV vaccine according to the standard protocol and animals from a second herd with an intensive schedule. Serum and milk samples were tested for BVDV NS3 antibodies using five commercial ELISAs. With a few exceptions, vaccination according to the standard schedule did not induce BVDV NS3-specific antibodies in serum or milk. However, after vaccination according to the intensive schedule, anti-NS3 antibodies were detected for a short time in serum and, to a lesser extent, in milk. Bulk milk was a suitable substrate for BVDV monitoring of herds vaccinated with the inactivated BVD vaccine. 相似文献

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is a major cattle pathogen responsible for a spectrum of symptoms, including reproductive failure. In this paper we investigate how BVDV interacts with the ovary. The viruses' tropism for the pre-ovulatory oocyte was studied by indirect immunohistochemistry. Two monoclonal antibodies, raised against the non-structural protein NS3 and the envelope glycoprotein E2 were used to probe cryo-sections cut from the ovaries of three persistently infected heifers. NS3 and E2 antigens were widely distributed within the ovarian stroma and follicular cells. NS3 was also localised within the proportion of oocytes. Overall 18.7% of the oocyte population had detectable levels of NS3. What is more, the proportion of antigen positive oocytes remained constant (P>0. 05) throughout the different stages of oocyte maturation.In a subsequent study seven cows were challenged with non-cytopathogenic BVDV (strain Pe515: 5x10(6) TCID(50)) to determine the oestradiol and progesterone responses to an acute infection. The sensitivity of the endogenous luteolytic mechanism was also established by analysing plasma prostaglandin F2alpha metabolite (PGFM) levels following an exogenous oxytocin (50 IU) challenge. The inoculation was given 2 days before a synchronised oestrus and was timed to ensure that viraemia occurred during the initial stage of corpora luteal development. Seven cows inoculated with non-infectious culture medium served as control animals and remained BVDV naive throughout the study. The BVDV challenge was followed by leucopenia, viraemia and sero-conversion. The virus also significantly (P<0.01) reduced plasma oestradiol levels between day 6 and day 11 post-inoculation (i.e. between day 4 and day 9 post-oestrus). However, the infection did not alter (P>0.05) progesterone secretion throughout the oestrous cycle or the plasma concentration of PGFM. These data indicate that bovine follicular cells and oocytes are permissive to BVDV at all stages of follicular development. They also show that a transient fall in oestradiol secretion may accompany an acute infection. In conclusion, this work has identified two potential routes through which BVDV can reduce fertility in the cow, namely impairment of oocyte quality and disruption of gonadal steroidogenesis. 相似文献

The acceptance of the fetal allograft by pregnant women and mice seems to be associated with a shift from a Th 1 dominated to a Th 2 dominated immune response to certain infectious agents. The goal of this study was to examine cytokine expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from cattle immune to bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) to determine whether pregnancy also has an influence on the type of immune response in this species. Forty-six heifers and cows between 14 months and 13 years of age were included in this study. Twenty-four were seropositive and 22 seronegative for BVDV. Eleven of the seropositive animals and 11 of the seronegative animals were in the eighth month of gestation, the remaining animals were virgin heifers. PBMC from these animals were analyzed for Interferon (IFN)-gamma and Interleukin (IL)-4 mRNA expression by real-time RT-PCR after stimulation with a non-cytopathic strain of BVDV. Additionally, an ELISA was performed to measure IFN-gamma in the supernatants of stimulated cell cultures. In BVDV seropositive animals, IFN-gamma mRNA levels were significantly higher than in BVDV seronegative animals and there was a significant positive correlation between the changes in IFN-gamma and IL-4 mRNA expression. There was, however, no significant difference in IFN-gamma and IL-4 mRNA levels between pregnant and non-pregnant animals. These results are inconsistent with BVDV inducing a Th1 or Th2 biased immune response. Furthermore, a shift in the cytokine pattern during bovine pregnancy was not evident. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of a modified-live virus vaccine containing bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV-1), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), parainfluenza virus 3, and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) types 1 and 2 to induce neutralizing antibodies and cell-mediated immunity in na?ve cattle and protect against BHV-1 challenge. ANIMALS: 17 calves. PROCEDURES: 8 calves were mock-vaccinated with saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (control calves), and 9 calves were vaccinated at 15 to 16 weeks of age. All calves were challenged with BHV-1 25 weeks after vaccination. Neutralizing antibodies and T-cell responsiveness were tested on the day of vaccination and periodically after vaccination and BHV-1 challenge. Specific T-cell responses were evaluated by comparing CD25 upregulation and intracellular interferon-gamma expression by 5-color flow cytometry. Titration of BHV-1 in nasal secretions was performed daily after challenge. Results-Vaccinated calves seroconverted by week 4 after vaccination. Antigen-specific cell-mediated immune responses, by CD25 expression index, were significantly higher in vaccinated calves than control calves. Compared with control calves, antigen-specific interferon-gamma expression was significantly higher in calves during weeks 4 to 8 after vaccination, declining by week 24. After BHV-1 challenge, both neutralizing antibodies and T-cell responses of vaccinated calves had anamnestic responses to BHV-1. Vaccinated calves shed virus in nasal secretions at significantly lower titers for a shorter period and had significantly lower rectal temperatures than control calves. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A single dose of vaccine effectively induced humoral and cellular immune responses against BHV-1, BRSV, and BVDV types 1 and 2 and protected calves after BHV-1 challenge for 6 months after vaccination. 相似文献

Cell-mediated immunity and CD4(+) cells in particular are important for the resolution of acute infection with non-cytopathic bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV). CD4(+) T cells were shown to recognise virus-infected and non-infectious-protein-pulsed APCs, whereas CD8(+) T cells recognised only virus-infected APCs. T cell recognition was strain cross-reactive and MHC-restricted. Using native and recombinant antigens, we identified the structural glycoprotein E2 and the non-structural protein NS3 as dominant CD4(+) T cell determinants. The repertoire of CD4(+) T cell responses to E2 and NS3 was examined using inbred, homozygous cattle and overlapping synthetic peptides. The repertoire was biased toward conserved regions of NS3 and excluded the hypervariable regions of E2. The number of peptides that were recognised varied between animals but patterns could be distinguished in those animals that shared the same DRB3(*) allele. Of particular interest were: (i) a determinant that was recognised in the context of both DRB3(*) alleles (i.e. DRB3(*)2002 and DRB3(*)0701), (ii) two determinants that were juxtaposed to B cell sites, and (iii) a determinant that had structural analogy with a NS3 epitope previously described for the closely related hepatitis C virus. The minimum stimulatory sequence of the latter, NS3(397-414), was located to residues NS3(400-410). 相似文献

Immunological properties of recombinant classical swine fever virus NS3 protein in vitro and in vivo
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious and often fatal disease of pigs characterised by fever, severe leukopenia and haemorrhages. With vaccines having an importance in disease control, studies are seeking improved protein-based subunit vaccine against the virus (CSFV). In this respect, recombinant viral NS3 protein was analysed for its immunopotentiating capacity, particularly in terms of cytotoxic immune responses. NS3 was effective at inducing in vitro responses, quantified by lymphoproliferation, IFN-gamma ELISPOT, flow cytometric detection of activated T cell subsets, and cytotoxic T cell assays. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CSFV-immune pigs could be stimulated, but not cells from na?ve animals. In addition to the IFN-gamma responses, induction of both CD4+ T helper cell and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL) were discernible--activation of the latter was confirmed in a virus-specific cytolytic assay. Attempts were made to translate this to the in vivo situation, by vaccinating pigs with an E2/NS3-based vaccine compared with an E2 subunit vaccine. Both vaccines were similar in their abilities to stimulate specific immune responses and protect pigs against lethal CSFV infection. Although the E2/NS3 vaccine appeared to have an advantage in terms of antibody induction, this was not statistically significant when group studies were performed. It was also difficult to visualise the NS3 capacity to promote T-cell responses in vivo. These results show that NS3 has potential for promoting cytotoxic defences, but the formulation of the vaccine requires optimisation for ensuring that NS3 is correctly delivered to antigen presenting cells for efficient activation of CTL. 相似文献

Immunity against dengue viruses (DENV) infection may include cellular immune responses which involve in the immunopathology of DENV infection hosts. This study was to establish short-term dengue virus type 2 (DENV2) nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) specific T cells from splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with DENV2 NS1 in vitro, which may be used to identify immunopathologic mechanism of dengue. Nine DENV2 NS1 specific T cell lines were successfully established by using limiting dilution methods and maintained for 20 weeks by re-stimulated with DENV2 NS1, recombinant mouse IL-2 and antigen presenting cell weekly. Phenotypically, these cells were mainly composed of CD3+CD4+ T cells. The culture supernatants of these cells contained large amounts of TNF-α and IFN-γ. Vascular tissue pathological change could be found in the mice adoptive transferred with DENV2 NS1 specific T cells. The results indicate that DENV2 NS1 specific T cells could be established and maintained with syngeneic T cell growth factors in vitro. Meanwhile, DENV2 NS1 specific T cells might contribute to the immunopathology of vascular leakage of dengue. 相似文献
