A DNA hybridization assay using a non-radioactive probe has been developed for the detection of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) DNA. A 1.4-kilobase pair BamHI fragment of ILTV genomic DNA was cloned and then labeled by one of two methods; nick translation using 32P-dATP or non-radioactive labeling using a commercially available DNA labeling and detection kit. The non-radioactive DNA labeling method proved to be as sensitive as the radioactive method. Using the non-radioactive probe, ILTV DNA was readily detected in tracheal samples from acutely infected chickens and also from convalescent chickens at a time when viral antigen could no longer be detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or the virus could no longer be reisolated. This technique provides a safe and effective means of identifying field outbreaks of ILTV and also may detect latent ILTV infections relatively quickly and inexpensively.  相似文献

The specificity of a fluorescent conjugate to infectious laryngotracheitis virus was examined using chick trachea organ culture or tissue sections infected with other avian viruses (adenovirus, infectious bronchitis, poxvirus, reovirus, Newcastle disease virus, Marek's disease virus, avian encephalomyelitis and infectious bursal agent) or Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Confirmation of virus replication in these preparations was obtained by either 1) demonstration of virus titre increase or 2) demonstration of fluorescence when using the homologous conjugate. Once either of these criteria had been satisfied, negative results with the infectious laryngotracheitis conjugate were taken to indicate that the conjugate would not present false positive results in differentiated cells infected with these heterologous viruses. The spectrum of reactivity of the infectious laryngotracheitis conjugate was then examined on organ cultures infected with several infectious laryngotracheitis isolates from across Canada. Finally, the conjugate was applied to experimental and natural cases of infectious laryngotracheitis and its efficiency was compared to routine virus isolation methods.  相似文献

Nasal epithelial cells were collected by cotton swabs for the diagnosis in experimental and field cases of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and field cases of bovine viral diarrhea in calves. A portion of the cells was washed twice in phosphate buffered saline and a 25 µL drop was placed on microscope slides. The cells were dried, fixed and stained according to the direct fluorescent antibody technique. Another portion of the same specimen was inoculated onto primary bovine skin cell cultures for virus isolation. In the experimental studies for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, 29/35 specimens were positive by fluorescent antibody technique and 32/35 by cell culture and in the field cases, 22/119 were positive by fluorescent antibody technique and 19/119 by cell culture. In the field cases of bovine viral diarrhea, 28/69 samples were positive by fluorescent antibody technique and 14/69 by cell culture. When fluorescent antibody technique was performed on inoculated cell cultures a total of 24/69 specimens were positive for bovine viral diarrhea. The sensitivity of fluorescent antibody technique was thus comparable to that of cell culture method for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and bovine viral diarrhea.  相似文献

Scouring and vomiting was induced in piglets by experimental infection with a field strain of rotavirus. Virus or viral antigen was detected in the small intestine by the fluorescent antibody technique and virus could also be demonstrated in infected tissue culture cells by immuno-fluorescence. Progeny particles in the epithelial layer of the small intestine were identified by electron microscopy. Three morphological types could be distinguished, often associated with electron-dense inclusion, and infected cells, though small in number, were present throughout the length of the small intestine.  相似文献

Serially collected epithelial samples from lesions in the mouth and on the feet of calves experimentally infected with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) type O1 BFS 1860 were assayed for the presence of FMD viral antigen using a double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a complement fixation (CF) test. The amount of infectious virus in each sample was also determined. FMD viral antigen was detected by ELISA in 70 per cent of the mouth samples and 92 per cent of samples from the feet. The CF test was less sensitive; it detected antigen in 44 per cent of mouth and 85 per cent of foot samples. In mouth samples the amount of antigen decreased rapidly becoming undetectable by the fourth day of sampling whereas in foot samples the quantity of antigen declined more slowly, and could be detected until the seventh day of sampling. Therefore it was concluded that the age of lesion and the site from which epithelial samples are collected are both important determinants in the laboratory diagnosis of FMD. In cattle, foot lesions are more likely than mouth lesions to yield antigen and to remain positive for a longer period.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was elaborated for the detection of specific antibody to equine infectious anemia (EIA) antigen. Sera from horses experimentally infected with EIA virus were assayed by ELISA, complement fixation (CF) and immunodiffusion (ID) tests for antibody to EIA antigen. The ELISA technique was found to be much more sensitive than CF and ID tests. In addition, EIA specific antibody could be detected by ELISA at an earlier stage of infection than by CF or ID techniques. The applicability of the technique to diagnosis of EIA is discussed.  相似文献

Clinical signs and lesions can sometimes provide the basis for a presumptive diagnosis of hog cholera (HC). However, an accurate diagnosis requires laboratory testing. The usual procedure for the detection of viral antigen is the examination of cryostat sections stained with fluorescein-conjugated HC antiserum. A more definitive technique is isolation of the virus in PK-15 cell cultures and identification of the viral antigen in cells using an HC fluorescent antibody conjugate. As bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus will cross-react with HC virus, isolation must be confirmed by the comparison of BVD and HC staining or, preferably, by the use of monoclonal antibodies that can differentiate between HC and BVD viruses. Hog cholera surveillance must rely on serology. The fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) test is the classical technique, and HC and BVD antibody can usually be differentiated if HC-positive serum samples are tested against both viruses. Recently the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and peroxidase-labeled antibody tests have become the commonly used techniques.  相似文献

Thirteen infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV)-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were isolated after immunization of mice with purified infectious laryngotracheitis virions. On the basis of their reactions in western blot analyses of ILTV-infected cells, the MAbs were assigned to five different virus proteins or protein groups. Two of the viral target proteins could be identified after transient expression of cloned ILTV genes in eucaryotic cells. The MAbs of group II detected a 60-kD protein that was shown to be the ILTV homologue of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein (g)C. The MAbs of group I reacted with the positional homologue of HSV-1 gJ, which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) 5 gene within the unique short genome region of ILTV. The ORF 5 gene product of ILTV was previously described as a 60-kD glycoprotein (gp60), whereas multiple protein bands with apparent molecular masses of 85, 115, 160, and 200 kD were identified in the present study. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that both gC and gJ of ILTV are localized in the envelope of virus particles, whereas the 15-kD protein detected by the MAbs of group III presumably represents a tegument component. Immunofluorescence analyses of infected cells demonstrated that the epitopes of the gC- and gJ-specific MAbs are conserved in all tested ILTV isolates originating from different parts of the world and that these MAbs are also suitable for in situ antigen detection in tissues of ILTV-infected chickens. The remaining ILTV-specific MAbs recognized viral proteins of 22 kD (group IV) and 38 kD (group V) that were not further characterized up to now.  相似文献

A strain of bovine coronavirus (BC) adapted to tissue culture, was inoculated into organ cultures of bovine foetal trachea. Haemagglutinin in the fluid from infected organ cultures reached titres of 32 and characteristic coronavirus particles were observed electron microscopically. BC virus antigen was detected in frozen sections of the organ cultures by staining with fluorescent antibody. These data were evidence that BC virus replicated in organ cultures of respiratory tissue. The use of this technique for primary isolation of bovine coronaviruses from field material is discussed.  相似文献

In this investigation the indirect fluorescent antibody technique was used to titrate antibodies in bovine sera to parainfluenza 3, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus. These results were compared to those determined on the same samples by hemagglutination inhibition for parainfluenza 3 virus and serum neutralization for bovine virus diarrhea and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. The results of the serological methods agreed closely. The indirect fluorescent antibody technique is a rapid and sensitive method for detecting antibodies and the procedure lends itself to use in diagnostic laboratories. In addition to the above viruses the presence or absence of antibodies to bovine coronavirus and bovine adenovirus 3 were determined by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique in thoracic fluids from 100 aborted fetuses and 50 nonaborted fetuses. Results on these samples were not compared to hemagglutination inhibition or serum neutralization as the condition of fluid samples from aborted fetuses renders interpretation of such tests unreliable. Antibodies to one or more viruses were detected in 30 of the 100 aborted fetuses and in seven of the 50 nonaborted fetuses. Antibodies to more than one agent were detected in eleven of the 100 aborted and in one of the 50 nonaborted fetuses. Reasons for this occurrence and application of the test in determination of causes of abortion are discussed.  相似文献

Goats were infected subcutaneously with different African and Indian isolates of peste-des-petits-ruminants virus. Typical signs of disease were recorded from day 6 post infection for all isolates. Ocular, nasal and mouth samples were tested for the presence of virus antigen or nucleic acid using the immunocapture ELISA (ICE) and the RT-PCR technique. Using ICE, virus antigen was detected at day 4 in ocular and nasal samples of goats infected with Côte-d’Ivoire 89 and in the ocular, nasal and mouth samples with the India, Calcutta strains. By day 5, all samples from both these groups were positive while ocular and nasal samples from groups with Sudan-Sennar and Nigeria 75/1 strains became positive. With the RT-PCR technique virus nucleic acid, presumed to be associated with infectious virus excretion, was detected at day 3 in oral and nasal samples in groups infected with Côte-d’Ivoire 89 and India-Calcutta strains. From day 6–9, all samples from all groups were positive with both techniques. This experiment demonstrated that PPR virus antigens and nucleic acid, presumed to be related to infectious virus, is excreted 2–3 days before the appearance of clinical signs whatever the technique used which is of epidemiological importance in controlling the spread of the disease. The ICE being easier to perform in developing countries can be recommended as a useful method to investigate PPR in small ruminants flocks at an early stage to prevent the diffusion of the disease.  相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibody to infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) virus in chickens was developed and compared with the serum-neutralization assay. The ELISA routinely yielded 16-to-32-fold higher titers than the serum-neutralization test. To overcome the requirement for large amounts of purified viral antigen, the microtiter trays were initially coated with an antibody prepared against purified ILT virus. A relatively crude viral preparation could then be used to coat the trays. Sera from specific-pathogen-free chickens less than 12 weeks of age did not show nonspecific binding, although 2.7% of all sera from chickens between 13 and 64 weeks of age had nonspecific activity. The majority of nonspecific reactors came from one highly inbred flock of specific-pathogen-free chickens. A number of modifications of ELISA procedures reported to reduce the nonspecific binding of chicken sera were investigated. Treatment of the serum or the plate and changes in the composition of the diluent did not increase the relative sensitivity of the anti-ILT assay.  相似文献

I. Antiserum Production   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文
These studies report on the production of African swine fever antiserum for use in serological tests. The first attempt to obtain antiserum was made by inoculating ASF virus - infected pig blood into the lactiferous sinus of lactating bovines. This failed to result in the development of detectable antibody, but resulted in propagation of the virus over a 14 to 21 day period.

In the second attempt use was made of a tissue culture - attenuated virus to produce resistance in normal pigs. Clinical response to inoculation with the attenuated virus was limited to a one day increase of temperature. These pigs were subsequently orally exposed to virulent ASF virus and later challenged by intramuscular injection. The sera were subjected to testing by the modified direct complement-fixation test and the agar gel double-diffusion technique in order to follow the development of antibodies. Some sera were also conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate and used for the detection of viral antigen by the fluorescent antibody technique.

It was found that inoculation with the attenuated virus brought about the development of low antibody levels in the pigs. This antibody level did not increase following oral exposure. One pig following intramuscular challenge underwent a series of ascending temperature peaks, coinciding with increased complement-fixing titres.

The use of 2 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), P1D9 and P2D4, which recognize different fowlpox virus (FPV) antigens, for the identification and characterization of FPV strains was evaluated. Initially, the MAbs were used in conjunction with a dot blot assay that enabled FPV to be differentiated from the avian herpesvirus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus. Confirmation of the specificity of these MAbs was provided by the demonstration that only FPV antigens were recognized by a combination of both antibodies when used for immunoblotting proteins contained in various avipoxviruses. Later, an antigenic characterization of 11 FPV field isolates, 6 FPV vaccine strains, and 3 pigeonpox virus vaccines was performed by Western blotting with the individual MAbs. Whereas MAb P2D4 consistently recognized a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 60 kD, there was variability in the size of the antigen that was immunoreactive with the other MAb. For example, MAb P1D9 recognized an antigen of apparent molecular weight of 46 kD in all vaccine strains except 2 of FPV origin. In these exceptions, either only a 39-kD or both a 42- and 46-kD protein were immunoreactive. As for the field isolates, a 39-kD antigen was recognized in 8 of them, whereas a 42-kD antigen was detected in the remaining 3. Therefore, the more extensive immunoblotting technique may facilitate FPV strain differentiation, whereas routine diagnosis of fowlpox could be accomplished by using the MAb-based dot blot assay.  相似文献

Natural infection of pigs with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) through contact with infected cattle has caused problems in diagnosing hog cholera (HC). Low cross-reacting serum antibody titers against HC caused by BVDV infection were found in clinically normal pigs as well as those suspected of having HC. Bovine viral diarrhea virus was isolated from specimen tissues and initially identified as HC virus (HCV), using the fluorescent antibody cell culture technique. Additional cell cultures, as well as pig and calf trials, were necessary to identify it as BVDV. The isolate caused clinical signs of illness in the calves, whereas the pigs remained healthy. Bovine viral diarrhea virus may be detected in tissue sections or isolated in cell cultures and confirmed as HCV, using the HC fluorescent antibody conjugate. Laboratories performing the neutralization test for HC should use discretion when interpreting HC titers unless BVD titers are determined on the same serums.  相似文献

Five groups of eight fattening pigs were vaccinated and then infected with Aujeszky's disease virus. Viral excretion was evaluated by two means: deep nasal swabbing and air sampling. It appeared that infectious airborne virus could be recovered from day 1 to day 6 after infection in the isolated units where control animals were raised. In vaccinated animals, airborne particles were also detected but the amount and duration varied in relation to their immune status at the day of virulent challenge: viral excretion was significantly lower in pigs presenting a high antibody level (1/16 to 1/64) just before infection. Results obtained with nasal swabs and with air samples were closely related. Despite its low sensitivity, the air sampling procedure could be considered as an efficient tool for reflecting infectious viral pressure in a confined atmosphere.  相似文献

Interferon, fluorescent antibody, and neutralizing antibody responses were studied in sera of 9 calves inoculated with bovine respiratory syncytial virus, in relation to viral shedding and clinical signs of disease. The calves (5.5 to 6.5 weeks of age) were assigned to 3 groups. Group I was inoculated once with the virus, and groups II and III were challenge exposed at postinoculation day (PID) 15 or 37. Serum-neutralizing and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques were used to measure antibody responses. The plaque-inhibition technique, using vesicular stomatitis virus, was applied to measure serum interferon titers. The virus was recovered by inoculation of nasal secretions onto cell cultures. Fluorescent antibody was detected in all calves on PID 3, with maximum titers appearing approximately on PID 10. Low neutralizing antibody was detected in most animals on PID 3, and titers peaked approximately 4.5 weeks after inoculation and then decreased. Interferon titers were high in all calves during the early stage of infection, dropped to undetectable amounts by PID 6, and reappeared in low amounts at least 1 week later. All infected calves manifested clinical signs of disease by PID 4 to 9. Clinical signs of disease were not observed after challenge exposure at PID 15 or 37, and anamnestic responses were not detected. Virus was recovered after challenge exposure at PID 15, but not at PID 37.  相似文献
