Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an arthropod-borne pathogen that causes an often fatal, hemorrhagic disease in ruminants. Different BTV serotypes occur throughout many temperate and tropical regions of the world. In 2006, BTV serotype 8 (BTV-8) emerged in Central and Northern Europe for the first time. Although this outbreak was eventually controlled using inactivated virus vaccines, the epidemic caused significant economic losses not only from the disease in livestock but also from trade restrictions. To date, BTV vaccines that allow simple serological discrimination of infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA) have not been approved for use in livestock. In this study, we generated recombinant RNA replicon particles based on single-cycle vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectors. Immunization of sheep with infectious VSV replicon particles expressing the outer capsid VP2 protein of BTV-8 resulted in induction of BTV-8 serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies. After challenge with a virulent BTV-8 strain, the vaccinated animals neither developed signs of disease nor showed viremia. In contrast, immunization of sheep with recombinant VP5 - the second outer capsid protein of BTV - did not confer protection. Discrimination of infected from vaccinated animals was readily achieved using an ELISA for detection of antibodies against the VP7 antigen. These data indicate that VSV replicon particles potentially represent a safe and efficacious vaccine platform with which to control future outbreaks by BTV-8 or other serotypes, especially in previously non-endemic regions where discrimination between vaccinated and infected animals is crucial.  相似文献

Broiler minibreeder hens were used to produce monovalent antisera to bacterins prepared from serotypes 1, 3, 4, and 3 X 4 cross (CU strain) of P. multocida and to a polyvalent fowl cholera bacterin containing serotypes 1, 3, and 4. Antiserum to the CU strain (live vaccine) was also produced. Monovalent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate antigens were prepared by separately sonicating each of the strains. Polyvalent plate antigen (Poly 3) was prepared by combining, in equal amounts after sonication, antigens from serotypes 1, 3, and 4. Each antiserum was assayed against its homologous ELISA plate antigen and against all other heterologous plate antigens, including Poly 3. The strongest reactions, as indicated by the highest absorbance values, were observed in homologous ELISAs. The CU strain may be the best monovalent ELISA plate antigen for detecting antibodies formed in response to a commercial polyvalent bacterin and to vaccinations with the live CU strain. Overall, monovalent serotype 1 (strain X-73) antiserum did not react well with any other heterologous ELISA plate antigen, whereas monovalent antisera of serotypes 4 (strain P-1662) and 3 X 4 (CU strain) reacted equally strongly with monovalent serotype 4 ELISA plate antigen. Background binding of negative serum was significantly lower (P less than 0.05) when using CU plate antigen than when using any of the other plate antigens.  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

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

Fowl adenoviruses free of avian adenovirus-associated virus, representing 10 serotypes, were tested for cross-reactivity in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All antigens and antisera prepared in chickens, along with uninfected control antigen and normal chicken serum, were reacted in a checkerboard pattern with ELISA. There was considerable cross-reactivity among all serotypes tested. Homologous reactions were generally, but not always, stronger than heterologous reactions. ELISA was about as sensitive as virus neutralization in detecting antibodies. The high sensitivity plus broad-spectrum reactivity should make ELISA a preferred test for the detection of adenovirus antibodies in poultry flocks.  相似文献

Antigenic relationship of Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) pleuropneumoniae serotype-8 isolates with other serotypes was studied, using tube agglutination, with and without 2-mercaptoethanol, indirect hemagglutination with and without 2-mercaptoethanol, ring precipitation, coagglutination, and immunodiffusion tests. Serotype-8 isolates possessed serotype-specific, group-specific common antigens cross-reactive with serotypes 3 and 6 and species-specific common antigens cross-reactive with other serotypes. Absorption studies were done to study the antigenic relationship of serotype 8 with serotypes 3 and 6. Rabbit antisera against whole-cell (WC) suspensions of reference strains of serotypes 3, 6, and 8 were used for absorption studies with WC and boiled WC suspensions of homologous and heterologous serotypes. Unabsorbed and absorbed sera were tested for antibodies against WC and boiled WC antigen preparations of serotype 8, using various serotests. Absorption studies revealed that serotype-8 strains possessed 2 main types of epitopes, one of which was serotype-specific and did not have cross-reactivity with other serotypes. The second type of epitopes was group specific and was cross-reactive with serotypes 3 and 6.  相似文献

White leghorn and New Hampshire red chickens were inoculated with purified lipopolysaccharides of 14 serotypes of Pasteurella multocida to determine their ability to produce serotype-specific antisera for somatic antigen typing. Specific antisera were made by both breeds of chicken to lipopolysaccharides of serotypes 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 16. No specific antisera were made against lipopolysaccharides of serotypes 2, 5, 7, 12, and 14. Lipopolysaccharides of serotypes 10 and 11 failed to stimulate antibody production. White leghorns were more responsive than New Hampshire red chickens. White leghorn antisera had higher titers to lipopolysaccharides in passive hemagglutination tests and produced more intense precipitin reactions with heat-stable antigens in the gel-diffusion-precipitin test.  相似文献

European Community national reference laboratories participated in two inter-laboratory comparison tests in 2006 to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of their 'in-house' ELISA and RT-PCR assays for the detection of bluetongue virus (BTV) antibodies and RNA. The first ring trial determined the ability of laboratories to detect antibodies to all 24 serotypes of BTV. The second ring trial, which included both antisera and EDTA blood samples from animals experimentally infected with the northern European strain of BTV-8, determined the ability of laboratories to detect BTV-8 antibodies and RNA, as well as the diagnostic sensitivity of the assays. A total of six C-ELISAs, six real-time RT-PCR and three conventional RT-PCR assays were used. All C-ELISAs were capable of detecting the BTV serotypes currently circulating in Europe (BTV-1, 2, 4, 8, 9 and 16), however some assays displayed inconsistencies in the detection of other serotypes, particularly BTV-19. All C-ELISAs detected BTV-8 antibodies in cattle and sheep by 21 dpi, while the majority of assays detected antibodies by 9 dpi in cattle and 8 dpi in sheep. All the RT-PCR assays were able to detect BTV-8, although the real-time assays were more sensitive compared to the conventional assays. The majority of real-time RT-PCR assays detected BTV RNA as early as 2 dpi in cattle and 3 dpi in sheep. These two ring trails provide evidence that national reference laboratories within the EC are capable of detecting BTV antibodies and RNA and provide specificity and sensitivity information on the detection methods currently available.  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

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus serotype Sp was identified by immunohistochemistry in formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The immunoreaction was present in degenerating and necrotic cells in exocrine pancreatic cells. Cross reactions were observed with rabbit antisera against serotypes Sp, Ab, and VR-299 in neutralization tests and western blotting. Immunohistochemically, only Sp antiserum produced positive immunostaining to Sp antigens, whereas antisera to serotypes Ab and VR-299 were negative.  相似文献

Three panels of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were prepared against the spike (S) proteins of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains Arkansas 99, Connecticut 46, and Massachusetts 41. Based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the MAbs were grouped into three categories: 1) group-specific, which reacted with a broad spectrum of homologous and heterologous IBV serotypes; 2) serotype-specific, which reacted only with strains of the homologous serotype; and 3) strain-specific, which reacted "selectively" with only certain strains of homologous and heterologous serotypes. MAbs that displayed serotype specificity were all specific to S1 fractions of the homologous serotype, confirming that epitopes that determine virus serotype are associated with the S1 protein. An excellent correlation was found when the results of IBV serotyping by MAb-based indirect ELISA were compared with those from the conventional virus-neutralization test. This confirms that the MAbs described here will serve as valuable tools in epizootiological studies and serotype-specific diagnosis of IBV infection.  相似文献

Antisera raised in rabbits against the porcine enterovirus strains V13 and T80 produced two precipitin lines in immunodiffusion tests with the homologous crude antigens, and a single precipitin line with each of ten heterologous porcine enteroviruses which were tested, and with poliovirus type 1, coxsackievirus B4 and equine rhinovirus type 1, but not with a bovine rhinovirus. C and D antigens prepared from V13 virus by density gradient centrifugation produced single precipitin lines with V13 antiserum. A single precipitin line was also formed when the heated crude antigens of V13 and T80 viruses were reacted with the homologous antisera, indicating destruction of the D antigen, and these lines fused with those produced by the heterologous viruses. It was concluded that porcine enteroviruses contain C and D antigens, and that the C antigen is responsible for the serological cross-reactivity demonstrated among porcine enteroviruses and other picornaviruses by immunodiffusion.  相似文献

An indirect sandwich ELISA that can detect as little as 8 ng of African horsesickness virus (AHSV) was developed. Viral antigen was captured from suspension using an immobilized monoclonal antibody specific for an epitope on VP7, a protein that is a major constituent of the virus core. Egg-yolk derived chicken IgY directed against AHSV (serotype 3) was used as the secondary antibody. Since IgY and mouse IgG do not cross-react serologically, the secondary antibody was not labelled, but was instead detected with enzyme-coupled sheep antibodies directed against avian immunoglobulins. The assay recognized all nine AHSV serotypes, but not the Cascara isolate of equine encephalosis virus, a related orbivirus that also infects horses. In addition to being able to detect and quantify whole AHSV, the ELISA could show the presence of VP7 produced by recombinant baculoviruses.  相似文献

An indirect immunoperoxidase procedure was developed to detect viral antigens in bluetongue virus (BTV)-infected tissues. Embryonating chicken eggs were infected with BTV serotypes 10, 11, 13, or 17, and the chorioallantoic membranes were subsequently fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. The peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) system was used to examine the infected membranes for the presence of viral antigens. Sheep antisera raised against BTV serotypes 10, 11, 13, and 17 served as the primary antibodies in the PAP procedure. Specific staining was observed when each of these antisera was applied to membranes expressing antigens of homologous and heterologous BTV serotypes. The PAP method was rapid, reliable, and specific in its detection of BTV.  相似文献

The study was aimed to test the immunoreactivity of the VP2 protein of bluetongue virus serotype 1 (BTV-1) in vitro. Based on the published BTV-1 L2 gene of Y863 strain, specific cloning PCR primers were designed and synthesized. The L2 gene was amplified through RT-PCR method and then was purified and cloned into the expressing vector pEASY-Blunt E1. The cloned recombinant plasmids were identified. The positive recombinant L2 plasmid was cloned into BL21(DE3) competent cells to express VP2 protein. The acquired purified recombinant BTV-1 VP2 protein was analyzed through the methods of Western blotting, ELISA and blocking ELISA. The results showed that:BTV-1 VP2 protein was expressed as the inclusion bodies in the pEASY-Blunt E1 vector; 160 and 200 mmol/L glyoxaline were the best condition to wash down the expressed protein. The molecular weight of this purified recombinant protein with N-terminal His-tag was about 105 ku. Through the results of Western blotting, ELISA and blocking ELISA, it had been proved that this recombinant protein could combine with BTV-1 specific antibody and this combination could be blocked by BTV-1 virus. The study showed that the recombinant BTV-1 VP2 protein, expressed through the prokaryotic expression vector pEASY-Blunt E1, possessed good immunoreactivity and this study had established foundation for locating the serotypic epitopes of the BTV-1 VP2 protein.  相似文献

Bovine embryonic kidney cells were infected with bovine herpesviruses (BHV1, 2, or 3), suid herpesvirus 1 (SHV1), or were sham-inoculated. When cytopathic effect was apparent, the cells were solubilized using Triton X-100 detergent. Resulting antigen preparations were tested by 2-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis using bovine fetal serum and antisera directed against BHV1, BHV2, BHV3, SHV1 or a restricted spectrum of BHV1 antigens. Interaction of BHV1 antiserum with BHV1 antigen preparations resulted in 11 precipitation arcs. The same antiserum produced 3 arcs with BHV2, none with BHV3, and 5 with SHV1. The interaction of BHV1 antigen preparations with BHV2, BHV3, or SHV1 antisera failed to produce demonstrable arcs. However, when heterologous antigen or antibody preparations were added to BHV1 homologous 2-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis tests, all 11 BVH1 arcs were modified by BHV1, 2 by BHV2, 4 by BHV3 and 4 by SHV1 preparations. Two antigens were common to the 4 herpesviruses. Antigen preparations were tested for their ability to inhibit virus neutralization by BHV1 antiserum; only the BHV1 preparation was active. Sera were tested for BHV1 neutralizing activity; only BHV1 antiserum and a serum specific for a restricted spectrum of BHV1 antigens were active. A glycoprotein antigen associated with BHV1 neutralization was identified which may be important in the protection of animals against disease.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilising direct binding of capsular polysaccharide antigens to polystyrene immunoassay plates was used to measure sheep antibodies to Pasteurella haemolytica A1, A2 and A6 serotypes. Low level cross reactivity occurred between A2 antigen and heterologous antisera. A strong unilateral cross reaction between A1 antigen and anti-A6 serum was abolished by absorption. These reactions suggest shared capsular antigens between serotypes.  相似文献
