The production of antibodies in pigs to 11 herpesviruses was investigated in relation to their ability to cross-react with Aujeszky's disease virus (suid herpesvirus 1--SHV1). Of the herpesviruses tested only two, sheep herpesvirus (caprine herpesvirus 1) and dog herpesvirus (canid herpesvirus 1), failed to produce homologous virus antibodies. Only the antibodies to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) produced a cross-reaction by SHV1 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). No SHV1 neutralizing antibodies were detected in any of the herpesvirus antisera. A cross-reaction with SHV1 by a serum from a pig naturally infected with BHV1 or with any of the other herpesviruses tested was considered unlikely.  相似文献

Bovine embryonic kidney cells were infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) or were sham-inoculated. When cytopathic effect was apparent, the cells were treated with beta-propiolactone, formalin, heat (56 degrees C), or ultraviolet irradiation until the virus was inactivated. Infected-treated, infected-untreated (IU) and sham-inoculated cultures were solubilized using Triton X-100 detergent. Resulting preparations were tested by 2-dimensional- and fused rocket-immunoelectrophoresis and were evaluated for their ability to inhibit virus neutralization by BHV1 antiserum. Eleven viral antigens were detected consistently in IU preparations, which strongly inhibited virus neutralization. Eight or more IU antigens were detected in beta-propiolactone-treated, formalin-treated and heat-treated preparations; these inhibited virus neutralization less strongly than the IU preparations. No IU antigens were detected in ultraviolet-treated preparations, nor did this material inhibit virus neutralization. One of the IU antigens was reduced preferentially by all treatments. The selective destruction of antigens by the various treatments might allow antigen-specific serological testing to distinguish vaccinated from naturally-exposed cattle.  相似文献

In order to investigate the specificity of low titer antibodies to BHV 1, twelve cattle were subjected to stress and dexamethasone treatment. They were monitored virologically by inoculating cell cultures with naso-pharyngeal-, ocular- and vaginal- or preputial swabs and serologically by assessing the prevalence and incidence of antibodies to bovine, caprine-, porcine-, and equine herpesviruses and to bovine leukemia virus. Antibodies were classified as specific for BHV 1 if the animals excreted IBR virus, or if the antibodies neutralized BHV 1 and reacted with BHV 1 antigens, or if they reacted additionally with CapHV antigens. Animals whose sera recognized BHV 1 and BHV 2 but not other herpesviruses, were judged to have experienced both infections. Nine of the twelve animals had specific BHV 1 antibodies. With three animals the question for specificity of their antibodies remains open. Two animals experienced several herpesvirus infections. Therefore, the induction of crossreacting antibodies, directed against epitopes common to herpesviruses, could not be ruled out. The sera of one animal reacted with BHV 1 and BHV 4 antigens in ELISA tests. They did, however, not neutralize BHV 1.  相似文献

Procedures designed to extract pseudorabies viral (PRV) antigens from PRV-infected tissue cultures were investigated to determine whether differences in extraction method had an effect upon the final concentrated antigenic product. All four of the preparations made from PRV-infected tissue culture cells (trypsin extract and disrupted cells) or entire PRV-infected cultures (polysorbate 80 extract and (NH4)2SO4 precipitate) contained relatively large amounts of the same antigen, whereas cell-free PRV-infected tissue culture fluids did not contain significant amounts of this antigen. Specific antibody directed against this antigen was present in all PRV antisera tested. Two other antigens were observed in some of the preparations, but PRV antisera varied in their ability to precipitate with these antigens. Therefore, the number of precipitation lines observed in agar gel immunodiffusion between PRV preparations and PRV-positive antisera depended both upon the extraction method used to obtain the antigen and upon the specificity of the selected antiserum.  相似文献

The sonicate antigen (MPS) of a local strain (IVRI) of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and a commercial lysate of Strain 18 were analysed using hyperimmune rabbit and calf antisera to MPS in crossed immunoelectrophoresis with intermediate gel (CIE-ig) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The rabbit antiserum was more potent than the calf antiserum and it precipitated 35 and 15 antigens, respectively, among MPS and lysate antigens. SDS-PAGE resolved 50 and 32 peptides among these antigens respectively, of which, 35 and 15 were precipitated by rabbit antiserum. A CIE-ig reference system, with 30 MPS antigens, was standardized and used to analyse antibody specificities among sera derived from animals experimentally and naturally infected with bovine paratuberculosis. Fourteen antigens of MPS were found to be reactive with these sera and among these, Antigens 2 and 5 were found to be serodominant; sonicate antigens of M. bovis BCG and M. avium did not contain these antigens. Both were high molecular weight (greater than 60 kDa) antigens which may be of serodiagnostic value.  相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from calves infected with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV1) or parainfluenza 3 virus (PI3) were cultured in vitro in the presence of inactivated specific antigen presented on MDBK cells. In the presence of inactivated antigen, PBMC from both BHV1-infected and control calves produced interferon (IFN)-alpha in 24 hour cultures. Altering the culture conditions did not result in the detection of immune-specific IFN produced by mononuclear cells from BHV1-infected calves. However, spontaneous IFN was detected in the absence of antigen in 24 hour cultures from infected animals: this IFN was pH 2 labile and completely neutralised by antiserum to recombinant bovine IFN-gamma. Spontaneous IFN-gamma production was only seen in calves following a second BHV1 inoculation, given four to seven weeks after the primary dose. In contrast PBMC cultures from PI3 virus-infected calves did not produce IFN-gamma spontaneously, but did so in cultures which contained inactivated PI3 antigen. Mononuclear cells from control animals failed to produce either IFN-alpha or -gamma when cultured with inactivated PI3 virus. IFN-gamma was detected in PBMC cultures after the primary infection, with no increase in production occurring following subsequent PI3 virus inoculations. Immunospecific production of IFN-gamma provides a simple method for monitoring cell-mediated immunity in BHV1- and PI3 virus-infected calves and can be used for evaluating the efficacy of vaccines against these viruses.  相似文献

Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for sequences of ovine herpesvirus 2 (OHV2), this virus was shown to be significantly associated with sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF) in terminal cases of disease in 34 cattle and 53 bison. Ovine herpesvirus 2 was not detected in cattle (38) and bison (10) that succumbed to other diseases. Other persistent herpesviruses, retroviruses, and pestivirus, some of which have been previously isolated from cases of SA-MCF, were not associated with the disease. These included bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV4), bovine lymphotrophic herpesvirus (BLHV), bovine syncytial virus (BSV, also known as bovine spumavirus), bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV), and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). A PCR survey for OHV2 in DNA from individual cow's peripheral blood lymphocytes in 4 dairies showed that the 1 dairy that was in close contact to sheep had a prevalence of OHV2 of 21.3%, whereas the 3 other dairies had no OHV2. Prevalence of the other herpesviruses and retroviruses in the dairy cows was variable, ranging from 2% to 51% for BHV4, 52% to 78.7% for BLHV, and 10% to 34% for BSV. Bovine lymphotrophic herpesvirus and BSV were also found in a few (1-4 of 21 tested) cases of terminal SA-MCF, but BIV and BVDV were not found in either the dairy cows sampled, or in the cases of SA-MCE No significant correlation was found between the presence of any 2 viruses (OHV2, BHV4, BLHV, BSV) in the dairy cows or terminal cases of SA-MCE  相似文献

Three strains of herpesvirus were recovered from cows with vulvovaginitis. The three isolates (85/BH 16TV, 85/BH 17TV, 85/BH 18TV), when compared by cross serum neutralization (SN) tests, were found to be antigenically identical. They were serologically distinct from infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus and Bovid herpesvirus 2 (BHV2), while they cross reacted with bovine herpesvirus DN-599. Besides the serologic aspects, the three isolates appeared to share common biological, physical and morphological properties with the newly recognized bovine herpesviruses, of which DN-599 is a representative strain.  相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica serovars 1 through 12, grown in broth and on agar plates, and 2 field isolates (types A1 and T10) were used to develop polyvalent crossed immunoelectrophoresis (XIE) reference systems. The maximal number of antigens was revealed by XIE when sonicates of agar plate-grown organisms were used as the immunogen (to produce antibodies) and as the soluble antigen for XIE. Antigens produced from agar plate-grown organisms were less contaminated (by antigenic components of the medium) than were those produced from organisms grown in broth. Seventy-two antigens were detected in sonicated preparations of agar plate-grown P haemolytica. The common antigen of gram-negative bacteria was identified in the P haemolytica XIE reference system; precipitation was observed with rabbit antiserum to the common antigen of gram-negative bacteria isolated from Escherichia coli, as well as with rabbit immunoglobulins (obtained from unvaccinated rabbits). Most preimmune sera from our vaccinated rabbits also precipitated the common antigen. Serovar-specific antigens in the P haemolytica XIE reference system were defined and presumptively identified as part of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide complex by use of the limulus amebocyte lysate test. Partial cross-reactions were found between serovar-specific antigens within each biovar (A and T). Pasteurella haemolytica biovar A-specific and biovar T-specific antigens were defined by crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis. When serovars A13, A14, and T15 were tested in the P haemolytica XIE reference system, they gave high matching coefficient values of 0.98, 0.98, and 0.87, respectively. The proposal to separate P haemolytica biovars A and T into 2 different species was supported by immunotaxonomic data obtained from crossed immunoelectrophoresis, but more extensive studies will be necessary to establish the appropriate taxonomic position of these 2 groups of organisms.  相似文献

Crude larval Taenia solium extracts were fractionated by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration into four fractions (W1-W4). The sensitivities of the fractions to rabbit and pig antiserum against Taenia solium were tested by double immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and ELISA. Fraction W2 which was highly sensitive to antisera was shown by immunoblotting to contain antigen B (95 and 105 kDa). The four fractions were shown to contain antigenic determinants common with pig serum proteins and crude extracts of other Platyhelminthes (especially Taenia hydatigena). Fraction W2 has the potential to be used as a serodiagnostic antigen.  相似文献

Geographically separate United States isolates of Anaplasma marginale were differentiated, using polyclonal bovine antiserum and microfluorometry. Both isolate-common and restricted antigen-specific antibodies were apparent in sera of splenectomized calves after resolution of infection, as judged by the capability of the antisera to recognize heterologous isolate antigens to a lesser extent than homologous antigens. Furthermore, absorption of the antisera with homologous antigens removed homologous and heterologous reactions, whereas heterologous absorptions resulted in the capability to discriminate the tailed or appendage-associated isolates (Virginia and Washington) from the tail-less isolate (Florida).  相似文献

Restriction endonuclease DNA fingerprints of herpesviruses isolated from 3 unrelated epidemics of bovine encephalitis are similar to each other and totally different from bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1). Herpesviruses, antigenically related to BHV1, isolated from goats and buffalo have distinct DNA fingerprints. We propose that bovine encephalitis herpesvirus is prototypic of a new bovine herpesvirus type and that alpha herpes viruses from individual ruminant species are species specific.  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

Outer sheath antigen from Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo type hardjoprajitno and acetic acid extracted antigens from serovar hardjo types hardjoprajitno and hardjobovis were evaluated in an immunoassay for ability to detect hyperimmune rabbit serum to serovar hardjo. The degree of cross-reactivity with hyperimmune rabbit sera to L. interrogans serovars pomona, copenhageni, grippotyphosa, canicola and sejroe, and Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc was also measured for each antigen. All of the antigens reacted with the antiserum to L. interrogans serovar hardjo. The outer sheath antigen however, also showed wide cross-reactivity with the antisera to all of the serovars of L. interrogans tested and with the antiserum to L. biflexa serovar patoc. The acetic acid extracted antigen from either type hardjoprajitno, or type hardjobovis, showed a high degree of specificity for serovar hardjo antiserum. The hardjobovis acetic acid extracted antigen was characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, and was incorporated into an indirect ELISA for detection of anti-serovar hardjo antibodies in bovine serum. This ELISA showed a relative specificity of 100% with 156 bovine sera which were negative at a dilution of 1:100 in the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) for L. interrogans serovars hardjo, pomona, sejroe, icterohaemorrhagiae, copenhageni, canicola, and grippotyphosa. The relative sensitivity of this assay with 192 bovine sera which had serovar hardjo MAT titres of > or = 100 was 95.3% (95% confidence limit = 2.99%). The degree of cross-reactivity with 289 bovine sera which had serovar pomona MAT titres of > or = 100 (with no detectable serovar hardjo MAT titres) was approximately 1.0%. This assay was: easily standardized, scored objectively, repeatable, semi-automated and used a non-hazardous antigen that can be routinely prepared in gram amounts.  相似文献

A technique for producing specific antibovine IgG2 antibodies is described. The method relies on the abrogation of the class-specific antibody response of guinea pigs to bovine IgG1 by intravenous injection of goat serum immediately before immunisation in the foot pads with bovine IgG2 in adjuvant. Of the 10 resulting antisera, six were judged monospecific for IgG2 by immunoelectrophoresis but, of these, two antisera gave a very faint line in gel diffusion using IgG1 as the antigen. Radial immunodiffusion studies indicated that the strength of the antisera, using IgG2 as the antigen, was similar to antisera of guinea pigs not injected with goat serum before absorption with bovine IgG1. For guinea pigs injected with goat serum, using bovine IgG1 as an immunogen did not result in the production of subclass specific antisera, rather, the specificities were similar to those of animals not receiving goat serum. This data is compared to absorption studies of goat antibovine IgG1 and IgG2 antisera. The relationships of goat and bovine IgG subclasses are discussed.  相似文献

A serological comparison of some animal herpesviruses   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) isolates (Cooper-type strain 4975 and Oxford) were compared in neutralization tests with the bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) isolate (85/16 TV) and the herpesviruses of red deer (D2839/1) and goats (E/CH). Hyperimmune antiserum was prepared in rabbits against the plaque-selected viruses and endpoint and kinetic neutralization test were made. BHV-4 was clearly different from the other four viruses. The closely-related BHV-1 strains were also related in these tests to the red deer herpesvirus. The Oxford strain seemed rather closer antigenically than the Cooper-type strain to the red deer herpesvirus. Antiserum to the caprine herpesvirus failed to neutralize either BHV-1 strain or red deer virus, but antiserum to the Cooper-type and red deer herpesviruses did neutralize caprine virus to a limited extent.  相似文献

Control/eradication plans of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) and suid herpesvirus 1 (SHV1) infections involve vaccination with inactivated or attenuated gE-deleted marker vaccines and associated companion serological tests to discriminate naturally infected from vaccinated animals. Blocking or competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been designed for the detection of specific antibodies against BHV1 or SHV1 gE glycoprotein. The antigen source usually consists of a crude viral preparation in which gE is associated with other envelope glycoproteins. Such assays suffer from a lack of specificity which is not due to serological cross-reactions with other pathogens. Interestingly, false-positive results occur with sera collected from multivaccinated cattle or pigs. After multivaccination with a marker vaccine, the binding of the conjugated monoclonal antibody used as a tracer, could be hampered by antibodies directed against the other viral glycoproteins.In order to validate the steric hindrance hypothesis, a simple preadsorption of such samples was carried out with a preparation of antigen devoid of gE, prior to the blocking ELISA itself. The decrease in antibody concentrations against the major glycoproteins, clearly leads to a better discrimination between positive and negative samples; that is between infected and multivaccinated animals, without significant loss of sensitivity. This experiment confirms the steric hindrance hypothesis, therefore serum preadsorption could be an easy way to improve the specificity of currently available diagnostic tests.  相似文献

We examined whether antibodies against bovine herpesvirus (BHV) 5 cross-react with BHV1 antigens and whether they could interfere with BHV1 eradication programmes. Six calves were experimentally infected with different doses of BHV5 strain N569; homologous antibodies were first detectable on day 11 post infection; they cross-reacted in a BHV1 virus neutralisation test, in a BHV1-glycoprotein (g)-B blocking ELISA and in a BHV1-gE ELISA, but not in a BHV1-gE blocking ELISA. This study indicates that, in ongoing BHV1 eradication programmes, based on vaccines that lack gE, BHV5 infections may not lead to false-positive serological reactions in case cattle are tested for BHV1-gE antibodies by the BHV1-gE blocking ELISA; antibodies against BHV5 may be differentiated from antibodies against BHV1. The BHV1-gE blocking ELISA may, therefore, offer opportunities for the serological differentiation between BHV1 and BHV5 infections.  相似文献
