Abstract. A rainbow trout population of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus carriers was studied over a one-year period using both homogenization and co-cultivation for virus isolation. The percentage of virus-yielding fish was high between March and June, but declined during the latter part of the year. This was diametrically opposite to the trend in the serum antibody levels indicating that the marked humoral immune response resulted in a very significant reduction in the virus titres. The highest isolation rate was obtained from the kidneys after co-cultivation underlining the very high sensitivity of this method for virus detection. Virus was occasionally isolated from the faeces indicating that this may well be a possible avenue for horizontal transmission of the virus. No virus was ever detected in gonadal tissue; the mechanism of vertical transmission of the virus is still very poorly understood. 相似文献

Abstract. Two populations of channel catfish were examined for the presence of channel catfish virus (CCV) by use of a nucleic acid probe. In one population of 22 fish with no history of CCV, viral DNA was found in every liver. These fish had previously been examined by a technique involving co-cultivation of their leucocytes with catfish tissue culture cells. The co-cultivation method had identified virus in 10 of these fish. The second fish population consisted of 14 adults that had survived a CCV outbreak in 1980. Of the 14 fish, 11 showed positive indication of CCV DNA. The tissue distribution of the CCV differed from fish to fish. All fish from the first group and one fish from the second group showed some alterations in the DNA banding patterns expected from pure CCV DNA. This might be indicative of modifications in the genomic structure of the CCV DNA when the virus is latent in a fish. 相似文献

Abstract. The serological relationships of five strains of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were examined by cross-neutralization, cross-fluorescent antibody (FA) and cross-immunodiffusion (ID) tests. Few serological relationships among these strains were observed by the cross-neutralization test, which is consistent with previous studies. Some cross reactions were observed by the FA test when antisera were reacted with cells infected with heterologous strains of IPNV. However, close antigenic relationships were demonstrated among these strains of IPNV by using the ID test when antisera to each strain of IPNV were titrated with their respective or heterologous antigens. The results of the present study showed that substantial antigenic relationships exist among the strains of IPNV examined. It is suggested that strain specific antigens which can be detected by virus neutralization and FA tests might exist on the surface of the virion. The FA test proved to be a useful method for detecting viral antigens of several strains of IPNV in tissue culture cells since monovalent antiserum reacted with homologous and heterologous IPNV antigens. 相似文献

Juvenile Atlantic cod (10 g) were infected with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) by intraperitoneal injection and cohabitation. Fish showed no signs of disease but IPNV could be re-isolated from kidney tissue for up to 12 weeks. On weeks 2, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 12 following infection, kidney leucocytes were fractionated on Percoll gradients, and cells separated into plastic adherent and non-adherent cell populations after overnight incubation. IPNV was detectable in lysates of both cell populations and in supernatants by culture in CHSE-214 cells. Wells containing 10(5)-10(6) macrophages had an IPNV TCID(50) of about 10(3)/well and in serially diluted macrophages the minimum number of cells required to detect virus ranged from 10(1) to 10(4). These data indicate that about one in 10(4) macrophages were infected and the mean number of virus/infected cell was about 10. Replication of IPNV in the macrophages was low as the titre of the virus in macrophage lysates did not increase between days 1 and 3 of culturing the macrophages, but virus was released into the supernatant over this time. 相似文献

The level of infection by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) of kidney macrophages from 12 asymptomatic carrier Atlantic salmon post-smolts was studied. Kidney leucocytes were fractionated on 34/51% Percoll gradients, allowed to adhere to plastic wells overnight, washed to remove non-adherent cells and cultured for up to 7 days with or without renewal of medium on day 3. On day 1, supernatants were harvested, macrophages were counted, lysed and IPNV in the supernatants and lysates was titred in chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) cells. The multiplicity of infection ranged between 1:2.2 and 1:7.4 (virus:macrophages). On day 3, the titres of IPNV in macrophage lysates decreased and in wells where the medium was renewed on day 3, IPNV was no longer detectable on day 7. In the supernatants, one fish was positive for IPNV on day 1, four fish on day 3 but none were detectably positive on day 7. In parallel wells in which the medium was not renewed, on day 7 IPNV was detected in macrophage lysates of three fish and the supernatants were also IPNV positive in two of these fish. This suggests that virus might be shed from infected macrophages and then reinfect other macrophages. When macrophages were serially diluted in wells and cultured for 24 h, IPNV could be cultured from macrophage lysates of wells containing between two and 70 macrophages. These results indicate that a very high proportion of the adherent kidney macrophages must be infected with very few non-replicating virions. 相似文献

Abstract. A panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were raised against infeetious panercretic mecrosis virus (IPNV) associated with lake trout. salvelinus namaycush (Walwaum). (LT-IPNV) in Cornwall Lake Alberta, for LT-IPNV epietope analysis and comparison with other Canadian IPNV isolates. All the MAbs reacted with IPNV VP2 polypeptide in western blot and 10 MAbs were neutralizing. Both conformation and sequence dependent epitopes were found to be present on the IPNV VP, protein. The antibodies reeognized different epitopes on VP, protein in reeiproeal bloeking ELISA. Twelve MAbs reeognized common epitopes present on LT-IPNV and IPNV from Aretic char. Salvelinus alpinus (L.), (AC-IPNV) in binding and neutralization assays. Three MAbs reacted only with LT-IPNV indicating that it has distinct epitopes, and thus clerly differentiaing it from AC-IPNV isolated from the adjacent Northwest Trritories.Only two MAbs bound to Ja and BCI-IPNV isolate and none of the MAbs neutralized these two IPNV isolates. LT-IPNV was found to be distinct isolate, more colosly related to AC-IPNV and Canda -2 than to Ja-IPNV from alberta or other isolates in Canda. Additionally, the panel of MAbs could differnciate all the propsed Canadian IPNV scrotypes, namely C1. C2. C3 and Ja. 相似文献

Abstract. A double antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is described. The sensitivity of the assay reached 102 TCID50 per 0·1 ml of culture fluid. The specificity of anti-IPNV sera and of the assay was confirmed by agar-gel immunodiffusion, by the direct immunoperoxidase technique for the deletion of IPNV in tissue cultures and by the ELISA inhibition test. High values of specific inhibition (over 90% at serum dilutions 1:40–1:2560) and low values of non-specific inhibition (8·4% at serum dilution 1:160) demonstrated the quality of the rabbit anti-IPNV serum. The results of ELISA agreed well with those of virological examinations. The potential of ELISA for investigations of a large series of field samples is discussed. 相似文献

A flow cytometric virus-binding assay that directly visualizes the binding and entry of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and virus haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) to several cell lines was established. The highest efficiency of binding was shown by the BF-2 cell line and this was used to study, at the attachment level, the interactions of these cells with salmonid fish viruses in coinfections, and to further determine if the earliest stage of the viral growth cycle could explain the previously described loss of infectivity of IHNV when IPNV is present. Our results demonstrated that IPNV binds to around 88% of cells either in single or dual infections, whereas IHNV attachment always decreased in the presence of any of the other viruses. VHSV binding was not affected by IPNV, but coinfection with IHNV reduced the percentage of virus-binding cells, which suggests competition for viral receptors or co-receptors. Internalization of the adsorbed IHNV was not decreased by coinfection with IPNV, so the hypothetical competence could be restricted to the binding step. Treatment of the cells with antiviral agents, such as amantadine or chloroquine, did not affect the binding of IPNV and VHSV, but reduced IHNV binding by more than 30%. Tributylamine affected viral binding of the three viruses to different degrees and inhibited IPNV or IHNV entry in a large percentage of cells treated for 30 min. Tributylamine also inhibited IHNV cytopathic effects in a dose-dependent manner, decreasing the virus yield by 4 log of the 50% endpoint titre, at 10 mm concentration. IPNV was also inhibited, but at a lower level. The results of this study support the hypothesis that IHNV, in contrast to VHSV or IPNV, is less efficient at completing its growth cycle in cells with a simultaneous infection with IPNV. It can be affected at several stages of viral infection and is more sensitive to the action of antiviral compounds. 相似文献

This study investigates the occurrence and distribution pattern of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) within the pancreas, liver, kidney and spleen of naturally infected cultured rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), using immunohistochemistry (IHC). A nested PCR was also employed to confirm the presence of the virus in the pooled tissues of the specimens. All the examined tissues except spleen were immunohistochemically positive for IPNV, but staining intensity and distribution pattern varied. The kidney tubules had the most intense and widespread staining by IHC, indicating a specific tissue tropism at least for this particular serotype. The nucleotide sequence had the greatest identity with the Sp serotype confirming the presence of the nucleic acid of IPNV in the pooled tissues. Based on the present findings, it could be concluded that the absence of lesions consistent with infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) disease in the H&E‐stained sections cannot rule out the presence of the IPNV, and the use of an alternative rapid confirmatory method such as IHC with formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded tissue sections is helpful for the final diagnosis of IPN in rainbow trout. 相似文献

Abstract. A dot-blot hybridization test has been developed for the detection of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in infected fish. For this purpose, cloning of the dsRNA of the West Buxton strain of IPNV was carried out. Two cDNA clones (WB and A4) were characterized for use as diagnostic probes and corresponded to IPNV genome segments A and B. respectively. Clone WB1, with an insert of 812 base pairs, showed an 87 and 77% nuclcotidc sequence homology with the corresponding sequences of Jasper and N1 strains, respectively. Clone A4, with an insert size of 596bp, presented a nuclcotidc sequence homology of 90 and 80% with the corresponding sequences of the Jasper and Sp strains, respectively. Both probes were able to detect 15 ng of purified dsRNA, and were highly efficient in detecting the RNA of American IPNV strains. However, the A4 probe was less effective than WB1 in hybridizing to RNA from European and Spanish strains of IPNV. Both probes detected IPNV RNA in cells 4–8h post-infection with the homologous West Buxton strain, 8–12h post-infection with other American strains and 24h post-infection with the European strains of IPNV. The method was less sensitive in detecting IPNV RNA directly in infected fish tissues. However, the present authors obtained a 100% effectiveness to detect viral RNA in cells inoculated with fish tissues confirmed by conventional diagnostic methods as being infected with IPNV. Therefore, the hybridization test is appropriate if combined with conventional diagnostic procedures, e.g. applying the dot blot hybridization test on tissue cultures 12–24 h after inoculation with infected fish tissue homogenates. 相似文献

Abstract. An infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) carrier stock of Atlantic salmon parr (100 g) was divided between two tanks and inoculated experimentally with tissue homogenate containing the aetiologic agent of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) and non-ISA tissue homogenate (control), respectively. Plasma and kidney samples from ISA-infected and control fish were taken twice weekly for 25 days. In the kidney samples, IPNV was quantified by a plaque assay. In plasma, anti-IPNV antibodies were measured using an indirect ELISA. The ISA-infection did not seem to activate the IPNV-infection. Neither the proportion of fish with IPNV or anti-IPNV antibodies, nor the IPNV titre or level of anti-IPNV antibodies showed any specific trend during the study. Independently of ISA, IPNV was detected in 54 out of 132 fish (41%), while 71 out of 195 fish (36%) had plasma antibodies against IPNV. No association was found between detection of IPNV, and presence or level of anti-IPNV antibodies in individual fish. 相似文献

Two populations of Atlantic salmon broodstock, previously identified as infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) carriers, were screened for IPNV at the time of stripping. Four hundred and ten broodfish were individually sampled of which 91 were detected as IPNV positive by virus culture of sonicated kidney homogenates combined with gonadal fluid, but none tested positive by the blood leucocyte assay. Thirty fish identified as IPNV carriers prior to maturation by the blood leucocyte assay were used in a separate study to compare non-destructive vs. destructive testing methods at stripping. IPNV was not detected using the blood leucocyte method at the time of stripping. RT-PCR and real-time PCR assays failed to detect IPNV from 13 blood samples, the virus was not isolated from milt (0/14) or sonicated ovarian fluid cell pellets (0/16) and only three fish tested positive by the standard culture of kidney homogenates. A third study of Atlantic salmon broodfish compared the IPNV isolation rates prior to maturation with the isolation rates at spawning during 1999-2001. In each year the percentage of IPNV-positive broodfish was significantly lower than in the pre-broodstock sample. While in pre-broodfish samples IPNV was detected by the blood leucocyte assay, no culture isolations or PCR positives were detected from non-destructive samples of the same individual broodfish at stripping. A consistent finding was that even for the kidney assay, the percentage of IPNV-positive fish in carrier populations was higher in pre-broodstock than in broodfish at stripping. These results indicate that destructive kidney sampling is still the most sensitive method for detecting IPNV carrier Atlantic salmon broodfish and that a change in IPNV carrier-status occurs during the maturation period. 相似文献

Previous work in our group has identified the scavenger endothelial cells (SECs) of heart endocardium in cod, Gadus morhua L., as the major site for elimination of both physiological and foreign macromolecular waste from the circulation. The present study was undertaken to establish the role of cod SECs in the clearance of virus. We focused on infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) as it is a well-known virus with a broad host range, and causes significant economic losses in the salmon industry. Our results showed that cod SEC cultures infected by the IPNV produce high titres of new virus. Ligand-receptor inhibition experiments suggested that the virus did not enter the cells through any of the major endocytosis receptors of cod SECs. Yet, the infection lowered the capacity of the cells to endocytose ligands via the scavenger receptor. Inhibitors of receptor recycling and vesicle acidification did not affect virus infectivity. The finding that SEC cultures prepared from 25% of the cod produced high titres of IPNV without being infected in the laboratory, suggests that SECs of cod may serve as reservoirs for IPNV in persistently infected cod. 相似文献

Abstract. The exact cellular site of replication of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in carrier fish is unknown. In order to determine if IPNV replicates in trout leucocytes, we purified leucocytes from normal (non-carrier) trout and separated the cells into an adherent and a non-adherent population. IPNV replicated in less than 0-01 % of the adherent leucocytes with a yield of about 400 p.f.u./cell. IPNV also became associated with less than 0.07% of the non-adherent leucocytes; either IPNV did not replicate in these cells or the yield was, at best, only a few p.f.u./cell. Trout persistently infected with IPNV (carrier fish) were tested for the presence of IPNV in leucocytes by co-cultivating with a sensitive fish cell line; this same population of trout was also tested for IPNV by organ sampling using standard methods. Ninety-eight per cent of the trout were positive for IPNV by organ sampling, but only 75 % yielded IPNV from leucocytes. Thus a blood sample from a living fish can be used to detect the presence of IPNV. 相似文献

Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a very serious viral disease in terms of its impact on production of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., fry and post‐smolts. Post‐smolts of Atlantic salmon were injected with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and cohabited with naive fish to produce natural infection. Cohabitant fish were sampled every 2 days, up to day 36 post‐infection (p.i.). From 90 cohabitant fish, 11 (12.2%) were positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The first detection of IPNV by IHC occurred on day 16 p.i. which coincided with the onset of mortality in this group. Besides the pancreas, the liver was found to be a key target organ for IPNV. For the first time, the virus was observed in the islets of Langerhans and in the kidney corpuscles of Stannius which suggests that the virus could affect the fish’s metabolism. The liver of two fish, which showed the most widespread presence of IPNV by IHC, had a pathology including focal necrosis and widespread presence of apoptotic hepatocytes, many of which did not stain for virus by IHC. Up‐regulation of cytokine gene expression was found only in the IHC‐positive (IHC+ve) fish and reflected the level of infection as determined by IHC positivity of the liver. In most fish, interferon (IFN), Mx, γIFN and γIP were up‐regulated in liver and kidney, while only IFN and Mx were up‐regulated in gill. IL1β and TNFα were not induced in any tissue. The gill showed variable levels of constitutive expression of IL1β and γIFN. The two fish with liver pathology had the highest level of IFN expression, especially relative to the level of Mx expression, in the liver compared with the other IHC+ve fish which did not have a liver pathology. The results suggest that following widespread infection of hepatocytes, the cells may over‐produce IFN, resulting in apoptosis of neighbouring cells with subsequent death from liver failure. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal (IP) injection, cohabitation and immersion routes of infection were used to determine if Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua (L.), of 1 and 3 g are susceptible to infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN). Mortalities of cod injected IP were significantly higher when challenged with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) than with phosphate buffered saline. This is the first report of Atlantic cod mortalities caused by IPNV. Fish challenged by cohabitation had significantly higher mortalities than the controls, but mortalities of Atlantic cod challenged with IPNV by immersion were not significantly different from controls. Titres of IPNV in the tissues of infected fish were sometimes very high (range 102 –1010 infectious units per gram of tissue) suggesting virus replication and titres of fish that died were generally higher than those of fish which survived. However, the relatively low mortality rates when challenged by cohabitation and immersion (20% and 17%, respectively), compared to the IP injection challenge (100%) suggest that 1 and 3 g cod have low susceptibility to IPN when challenged by more natural routes. These data strongly suggest that the cause of death of experimentally challenged cod was IPNV and further histological evidence for this came from 1 g cod challenged IP with IPNV in which the pancreas showed severe necrosis and heavy immunostaining for IPNV coincidentally with the peak of mortalities. 相似文献
