Four pregnant heifers were immunized by the intramammary route with killed or live Streptococcus agalactiae vaccine, and a 5th heifer was vaccinated by the intramuscular route with killed vaccine. Antibody in the colostrum from vaccinated and non-vaccinated glands was compared. Antibacterial glands was compared. Antibacterial antibody titers of the 4 immunoglobulin classes were determined by indirect fluorescent antibody assay. Although the content of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), IgG2, and IgM in the colostrum from the vaccinated glands was not substantially different from the nonvaccinated glands, IgA content was considerably greater in the former. Antibody specific to S agalactiae was isolated from all colostrum samples. The mouse passive protection test and Ouchterlony analysis were used to demonstrate the presence of type-specific antibody to Ia strain used for vaccination. The passive mouse protection test also was useful to compare the protective capacity of specific S agalactiae, type Ia, antibodies of immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgM, and IgA. Increased protective capacity of IgM and IgA over IgG1, on a weight basis, was demonstrated. The present study indicates that S agalactiae preparations, when introduced into the mammary gland, can give rise to local antibody synthesis in the vaccinated glands. 相似文献

A sensitive 4-layers ELISA test for determination of antibodies against the pathogens of Streptococcus agalactiae in cows' milk was used for diagnosis of mastitis, with the aim to broaden these methods. Antigen was linked on the solid phase in the form of the whole bacteria, and milk was tested, diluted in the ratio of 1:10. Antigen bound-specific antibodies were labelled with pig antibodies against bovine immunoglobulins and in the next layer with rabbit antibody conjugated with peroxidases against pig immunoglobulins. After test visualisation and reading on the photometre, the results were given in the positivity per cent as a 100-multiple of the proportion of absorbance of the unknown sample and the positive control after subtraction of the negative control. Milk was examined in 36 dairy cows from three various breeding herds by that method. The samples were parallelly examined bacteriologically and cytologically. In the milk of dairy cows with positive S. agalactiae finding, the main level of antibodies expressed a positivity per cent, was 15.0%, while in bacteriologically negative animals it was only 6.2%. The dairy cows were divided into 8 groups, characterizing various stages of mastitis, according to the results of the individual treatments. 相似文献

Specific detection by PCR of Streptococcus agalactiae in milk. 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
The aim of this study was to develop a simple and specific method for direct detection of Streptococcus agalactiae from cow's milk. The method was based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using species-specific and universal primers derived from the 16S rRNA gene. The amplification product was verified by restriction endonuclease digest and sequencing. Specific identification was proven on a collection of 147 S. agalactiae isolates of bovine and human origin. In addition, 17 strains belonging to different bacterial species that potentially can be found in milk samples also tested negative. The PCR developed was used for direct detection of S. agalactiae in milk, using for the first time with gram-positive bacteria the nucleic acid-binding properties of diatomaceous earth. The test, which has high specificity, high sensitivity (100 cfu/mL), and can be carried out in less than 24 h, represents an innovative diagnostic tool for the detection of S. agalactiae in milk. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Stable mycoplasma antigens for the indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) were prepared employing glutaraldehyde treated sheep erythrocytes sensitized with Mycoplasma agalactiae subsp. bovis and Mycoplasma bovigenitalium antigens. Employing these antigens mycoplasma antibodies were detected in sera from cattle which had mastitic symptoms due to natural infection with either M. agalactiae subsp. bovis or M. bovigenitalium. A total of 200 cows from four herds were examined at varying intervals for the presence of M. agalactiae subsp. bovis and for the detection of antibody using growth inhibition and IHA tests. Mycoplasmas were isolated from 37 animals. Growth inhibiting antibody was detected from 56 of the 200 animals. In the IHA tests, antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:80 were detected in 148 animals, 76 of these having antibody titers greater than or equal to 1:160, while sera of 116 normal control animals had no growth inhibiting antibody and none had IHA antibody titers greater than 1:40. M. bovigenitalium was isolated from the milk of three of 26 animals in a fifth herd during an outbreak of mastitis. Growth inhibiting antibodies were demonstrated in the sera of ten of the 26 animals. However, the IHA test detected antibody titers of greater than or equal to 1:160 in 13 animals and of 1:80 in one of the 26 animals. To determine the specificity of the IHA tests, M. agalactiae subsp. bovis and M. bovigenitalium antigens were reacted with rabbit hyperimmune typing sera produced against 12 species of bovine mycoplasmatales. Homologous antisera showed IHA antibody titers of 1:1280 and 1:2560 against M. agalactiae subsp. bovis and M. bovigenitalium respectively, whereas heterologous antisera showed IHA antibody titers of less than or equal to 1:20. Also eight type-specific bovine antisera were reacted with M agalactiae subsp. bovis and M. bovigenitalium antigens in homologous and heterologous tests. Homoogous reactions showed IHA antibody titers greater than or equal to 1:320, whereas heterologous reactions showed IHA titers of less than or equal to 1:20. This IHA test promises to be useful for the detection of bovine mycoplasma antibodies in sera from cattle infected with M. agalactiae subsp. bovis or M. bovigenitalium. Thes test is sensitive, reproducible and specific and the technique is relatively simple and rapid. The antigens were stable for at least seven months. 相似文献

Comparisons were made among rapid latex agglutination tests and conventional biochemical tests used to identify Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus. Ninety-eight streptococci and 149 staphylococci isolated from bulk tank milk were tested. Sensitivity and specificity for the latex agglutination test used for identification of Str agalactiae were 97.6 and 98.2%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for the latex agglutination test used for identification of S aureus were 90.2 and 67.5%, respectively. Of 25 staphylococci considered false-positive by the latex agglutination test, 14 (56%) were considered tube coagulase-positive. Fifteen staphylococci considered false-positive by latex agglutination test had biotypes representative of S hyicus of S xylosus. 相似文献

Ingestion and killing of Streptococcus agalactiae by bovine granulocytes in the presence of natural opsonins 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated the presence of naturally acquired antibodies against Streptococcus agalactiae in normal bovine serum (NBS). In milk wheys, ELISA values were much lower than in sera. Pre-colostral calf serum (PCS) was shown to lack antibodies to type II and III S. agalactiae. The opsonic requirements of 10 human and 10 bovine strains were investigated by evaluating the phagocytosis-induced reduction of the incorporation of radiolabeled thymidine by streptococci. Antibodies present in NBS were required for the efficient ingestion of both human and bovine isolates type II by bovine granulocytes. Three out of five type III bovine isolates were opsonized in the absence of specific antibodies (opsonization by PCS) and type II and III bovine isolates did not require complement opsonization. By contrast, inactivation of complement reduced phagocytosis of human isolates and only one type III strain of human origin was opsonized by PCS. These findings suggest that human isolates had higher opsonic requirements. The phagocytic killing of 6 type III strains (5 mastitis isolates and the reference typing strain) was investigated. Opsonization by normal serum enabled bovine blood granulocytes to ingest and kill S. agalactiae. Nevertheless, greater than or equal to 35% of bacteria remained viable at the end of the phagocytosis incubation in 10% NBS. Heat treatment of serum decreased the efficacy of killing for only 3 of the 6 tested strains. An IgG2 fraction of normal adult bovine serum promoted active ingestion, which was still increased in the presence of PCS. Normal wheys displayed large variations in their ability to promote ingestion of S. agalactiae by blood granulocytes. The promoting effect was systematically less than that of serum from the same cow, and this can be related to the lower ELISA values found in wheys. 相似文献

A panel of 13 monoclonal antibodies from different hybridomas was produced against a novel salmonella fimbrial antigen expressed predominantly by Salmonella enteritidis strains. The specificity of the monoclonal antibodies to this antigen (SEF14) was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified SEF14, immune electron microscopy and, with 11 monoclonal antibodies, the identification of a repeating protein subunit (14,300kDa) on the antigen. Blocking-ELISA with the monoclonal antibodies identified epitopes in at least three, non-overlapping clusters which appeared evenly distributed on SEF14 in immune electron microscopy. The use of the monoclonal antibodies in direct-binding ELISA on a range of salmonella serotypes suggested that the epitopes on SEF14 are highly conserved and were expressed by all the S enteritidis strains examined; some strains of S dublin and the only strain of S moscow available were the only other serotypes that expressed SEF14. A latex agglutination reagent based on a monoclonal antibody was developed and used to test for SEF14 on 280 strains (representing 120 serotypes in 24 serogroups of salmonellae) that had been grown on Sensitest agar for 18 hours at 37 degrees C. All S enteritidis strains (64) and most S dublin strains (28 of 33) produced SEF14 as did the two strains representing S blegdam and S moscow. SEF14 was not detected in any other strains of serotypes from serogroup D or from any other serogroup examined. 相似文献

Studies are described in which hybridoma technology is used to produce a variety of reagents for the characterization and manipulation of the bovine humoral immune system. Selected members of a set of murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) specific for each of four major isotypes of bovine Ig constant regions, one specific for anti-bovine Ig constant regions as well as one specific for anti-bovine light chains are discussed. Interspecific fusion of bovine lymphocytes with the established mouse cell line, SP2/0 was used to produce a collection of stable hybridomas among which were found secretors of bovine IgG1, IgG2, IgM, IgA and bovine light chain. Interspecific fusion of SP2/0 with lymphocytes from a multiparous Holstein four days post immunization with Streptococcus agalactiae yielded MAb with specificity for the immunizing antigen. One of these hybridomas, LHRB 19.17, which displayed a particularly stable secretory phenotype, was used as an immunogen for the production of a library of murine monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies. Competitive antigen binding analysis showed that 15 of the 24 anti-LHRB 19.17 idiotype antibodies isolated blocked the binding of the idiotype to its nominal antigen and so were candidates for evaluation as antigen mimics. Some of the ways in which monoclonal anti-idiotypes in particular, and monoclonal in general, might be of use in problems of animal disease are discussed. 相似文献

Streptococcus agalactiae mastitis persists as a significant economic problem for the dairy industry in many countries. In Denmark, the annual surveillance programme for this mastitis pathogen initially based only on bacteriological culture of bulk tank milk (BTM) samples, has recently incorporated the use of the real-time PathoProof Mastitis PCR assay with the goal of improving detection of infected herds. The objective of our study was to estimate the herd sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of both tests of BTM samples using latent class models in a Bayesian analysis while evaluating the effect of herd-level covariates on the Se and Sp of the tests. BTM samples were collected from all 4258 Danish dairy herds in 2009 and screened for the presence of S. agalactiae using both tests. The highest Se of PCR was realized at a cycle threshold (Ct) cut-off value of 40. At this cut-off, the Se of the PCR was significantly higher (95.2; 95% posterior credibility interval [PCI] [88.2; 99.8]) than that of bacteriological culture (68.0; 95% PCI [55.1; 90.0]). However, culture had higher Sp (99.7; 95% PCI [99.3; 100.0]) compared to PCR (98.8; 95% PCI [97.2; 99.9]). The accuracy of the tests was unaffected by the herd-level covariates. We propose that screenings of BTM samples for S. agalactiae be based on the PCR assay with Ct readings of <40 considered as positive. However, for higher Ct values, confirmation of PCR test positive herds by bacteriological culture is advisable especially when the between-herd prevalence of S. agalactiae is low. 相似文献

Six monoclonal antibodies were raised in mice against purified cytozoite extracts of Sarcocystis gigantea and S. tenella from sheep. Each monoclonal antibody was evaluated for specificity by enzyme immunoassay, immunoblotting and immuno-electron microscopy using homologous and heterologous antigenic preparations. All six monoclonal antibodies exhibited good species-specificity when reacted against crude soluble cystozoite antigens in enzyme immunoassays. However, only two monoclonal antibodies (IgM and IgG2a) exhibited reactivity in Western blots against specific protein bands. Both reacted against S. gigantea antigens of 100,000, 43,000 and 39,000 molecular weight. Neither monoclonal antibody reacted against the heterologous species S. tenella. Ultrastructural studies performed with colloidal-gold conjugated antisera revealed that both monoclonal antibodies reacted against antigens located around micronemes and amylopectin granules in S. gigantea cystozoites. Another monoclonal antibody (IgGI) reacted only against microneme determinants in S. tenella cystozoites. In contrast, polyclonal sheep and rabbit immune sera cross-reacted against a wide range of cystozoite antigens. 相似文献

Samples from the mammary tissue of 14 lactating goats (12 naturally infected and two experimentally infected) were examined for the presence of Mycoplasma agalactiae. A monoclonal antibody (5G12) was applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded sections and labelled by the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) method. Histological examination of tissue sections revealed strong immunoreactivity in all animals included in the study. Mycoplasma agalactiae antigen was mainly detected in the cellular debris at the periphery of purulent exudates present within lactiferous sinuses, and lactiferous and interlobular ducts. In addition, M. agalactiae organisms appeared in the cytoplasm of the epithelium of ducts, and in infiltrating macrophages and neutrophils within the ducts, alveoli, interstitial tissue and regional lymph node sinuses. It is concluded that this monoclonal antibody-based immunohistochemical technique is an efficient and specific method for the post-mortem detection of M. agalactiae in cases of clinical mastitis as well as being a useful tool for the study of the route of infection and cellular types involved during mastitis caused by this organism. 相似文献

Development of a system for genetic and molecular analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
DNA-DNA hybridisation was used to compare the genetic relation of human and bovine strains of Streptococcus agalactiae. All strains showed significant homology under very stringent hybridisation conditions. The extent of relatedness did not correlate with the serological type. It was demonstrated that the S faecalis transposon Tn916 could be inserted randomly into the S agalactiae chromosome when introduced by conjugation. The ability of Tn916 insertion to cause genetic changes in S agalactiae was confirmed by identification of a mutation in lactose and trehalose fermentation associated with acquisition of the transposon. This system should be useful in genetic analysis of the pathogenicity of S agalactiae. 相似文献

Large-scale streptococcal outbreaks occurred continuously in tilapia farms of China from 2009 to 2011. The objective of this study was to characterize the prevalent strains of tilapia streptococci from the main cultured areas of China through species specific PCR and pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). A total of 105 prevalent strains were isolated from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Fujian provinces between 2006 and 2011, 85 of which were identified as Streptococcus agalactiae while the rest were all identified as Streptococcus iniae. The prevalent stains in 2006 and 2007 were S. iniae (94.7%, 18/19), with S. agalactiae account for only 5.3% (1/19); The prevalent strains in 2009 and 2011 however changed to S. agalactiae (97.7%, 84/86), with only 2.3% (2/86) was S. iniae. Of these 105 strains, a total of 13 PFGE types (A-M) were characterized, among which D, F, G and K genotypes were predominant, accounting for 81.90% (86/105). The cluster analysis of PFGE electropherograms separated S. iniae and S. agalactiae to two distinctive branches, 20 strains of S. iniae exhibiting 3 types of PFGE band patterns with a similarity of 94.8-100%, and the 85 strains of S. agalactiae producing 10 types of PFGE band patterns with a similarity between 48.4% and 100%. Data suggested that the prevalent strains of tilapia streptococci in China have shifted from the former (before 2008) dominant strains of S. iniae to the current (2009-2011) dominant strains of S. agalactiae. Moreover, PFGE genotypes of the prevalent strains demonstrated geographic differences and temporal changes. 相似文献
