Vero and McCoy cell cultures were tested for their susceptibility to Chlamydia psittaci in the presence of several antimetabolites, such as cortisone acetate, cytochalasin B and cycloheximide. Vero cells were more susceptible than the McCoy cell cultures as demonstrated by cytopathic changes, fluorescent antibody activity, and titer of C. psittaci. Although all of the antimetabolites increased these parameters, a mixture of cortisone and cytochalasin B was the most effective.  相似文献

Isolates 007Lm, S124C and Ac96I and a Vero cell-adapted Onderstepoort strain of canine distemper viruses (CDV) were examined for stability after passages in Vero cells expressing the canine signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (dogSLAM, the intrinsic receptor to CDV). These viruses passage once in Vero cells expressing dogSLAM (Vero-DST) cells (original) and after 20 passages (20p) were compared by using sequence analyses and growth characteristics. All four strains of 20p grew well and were slightly better than their originals. The 20p viruses developed a cytopathic effect slightly lower than the original strains. A few changes in amino acids in the H gene were between the 20p and the original viruses, but the sites of changes were not specific. Fragments of P, M and L genes of all strains showed no nucleotide changes after the passages. These results showed that: (1) passages of CDVs in Vero-DST cells induced amino acid changes only in the H gene, not in the P, M and L genes, unlike in a previous study with Vero cells; (2) passages did not markedly affect the growth characteristics of every viral strain. These results indicate that Vero cells expressing canine SLAM allow the isolation and passaging of CDV without major changes in viral genes.  相似文献

A comparative study was carried out to determine the relative sensitivities of eight different cell culture systems to six different herpesviruses of animals. The cells used were: OFL (ovine fetal lung), ML (mink lung), FK (ferret kidney), PTK-2 (potoroo kidney), TEK (turkey embryo kidney), ED (equine dermal), BT (bovine turbinate), and PK15 (porcine kidney). The viruses tested were: PRV (pseudorabies) of swine, CPHV (caprine herpesvirus), IBRV (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus), DN-599 strain of bovine herpesvirus type 4, EHV-1 (equine herpesvirus), and CHV (canine herpesvirus). On the basis of virus titers obtained and the time of appearance of CPE (cytopathic effects), ML cells were found to be the most useful because of their sensitivity to all six viruses tested. BT and OFL cells were also found to be highly sensitive to all viruses with the exception of CHV.  相似文献

The pathogenicity of chlamydial strains for their natural hosts and their ability to induce persistent infections in McCoy cells were compared. Both virulent and avirulent strains persistently infected McCoy cells, but the appearance of the cell culture varied between strains. Avirulent strains induced completely inapparent persistent infection (infection Type 1), while with invasive strains the culture alternated between periods of cell multiplication and periods of extensive cytopathic change (infection Type 2). The virulence of virulent strains was not attenuated, even after 6 months of culture, but after 2 or 3 months some avirulent strains produced infection Type 2 and became invasive for mice and abortive for ewes. This variation of virulence was accompanied by a modification of protein patterns.  相似文献

The growth of five strains of infectious bursal disease virus--three strains of serotype I (SAL, D-78, 2512), one of serotype II (OH), and one variant strain (Variant-A)--were compared in Vero and chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cell cultures in order to characterize the replication of different strains of IBDV in Vero cells. For all five virus strains, the latent period in Vero cells ranged from 12 to 18 hr, which was longer than the 4-to-6-hr latent period observed in CEF cultures for strains SAL, D-78, and OH. Virus strains SAL, D-78, and OH, which were examined in both Vero and CEF cultures, also had a more extensive maturation phase and higher yields of virus in Vero than in CEF cultures. Total titers of these viruses of 5.35 to 6.10 log10 TCID50/ml in CEFs occurred 24 to 30 hr postinoculation (PI), although the cytopathic effect (CPE) was not seen until 72 hr PI. By comparison, their total infectious virus titers of 6.85 to 8.35 log10 TCID50/ml in Vero cells occurred from 48 hr PI, coinciding with the appearance of CPE. The growth curve of Variant-A in Vero cells differed from the other viruses by showing steadily rising extracellular and cell-associated virus titers throughout the 72-hr observation period. Only very low titers of Variant-A were obtained in CEF cultures, and thus no growth curve in CEFs was performed.  相似文献

The G and P genes of bovine, ovine and caprine respiratory syncytial (RS) viruses were analyzed by RNase A one-dimensional fingerprinting, using A51908 as the reference strain. Antisense G or P RNA probes of bovine RS virus strain A 51908 were hybridized to total RNA extracted from bovine turbinate cells infected with bovine, ovine or caprine RS virus strains. The RNA:RNA heteroduplexes were digested with RNase A and the resistant products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Comparative analysis of the cleavage patterns revealed heterogeneity among bovine, ovine and caprine RS virus isolates. Ovine RS virus strains generated RNA cleavage patterns more distantly related to the bovine or caprine RS virus strains, particularly in the G gene. Statistical analysis of the results obtained indicated that genetic differences between bovine and ovine viruses were larger, compared with the ones among bovine strains themselves. The same analysis also revealed a close genetic relation among bovine and caprine strains. These results are discussed in terms of ungulate RS virus genetic variation and vaccine development.  相似文献

Bovine T lymphoblast cell lines transformed by the protozoan Theileria parva were compared with bovine kidney (BK) and Vero cells for their ability to isolate various strains of rinderpest virus from tissues and infected secretions. All of the strains of rinderpest virus that were tested, including attenuated cell-culture, caprinised and lapinised vaccines, and both mild and virulent pathogenic strains, readily induced syncytial cytopathic effect (cpe) in T lymphoblasts. The cpe could often be detected within one day of inoculation of lymphoblasts, whereas it took three to 14 days to appear in Vero and BK cells. Using lymphoblasts it was possible to reisolate rinderpest virus from nine of 42 swabs collected from three cattle experimentally infected with an isolate from a recent outbreak of mild disease whereas the same swabs yielded only one reisolate on BK cells. It was also possible using the lymphoblasts to detect infectious virus in the ocular, nasal and oral secretions of goats and rabbits infected with caprinised and lapinised virus, respectively. Peste des petits ruminants virus appeared to grow as rapidly as rinderpest virus in the lymphoblasts whereas canine distemper virus readily induced cpe on first passage but less readily on subsequent passage. Measles virus induced relatively little cpe when inoculated into lymphoblasts and did not appear to passage in these cells. The lymphoblasts are easy to maintain in culture and since they rapidly recovered 11 isolates from 37 diagnostic samples could prove useful in laboratories carrying out rinderpest diagnosis.  相似文献

Methods are described for the preparation of complement-fixation (CF) and hemagglutination (HA) antigens from the Texas turkey ornithosis agent grown in McCoy cell culture monolayers. The particulate antigens prepared for this study were satisfactory for testing mammalian sera by direct CF tests and avian sera by indirect CF or modified direct CF tests. Comparison of titers were made on human, bovine and ovine sera using direct CF tests employing antigen prepared for this study, 6 BC yolk sac antigen, and a commercially available antigen.

The HA antigen agglutinated mouse erythrocytes, but it was not of value in hemagglutination inhibition tests because of “nonspecific” inhibitors in both mammalian and avian sera.

To know growth profiles of canine distemper virus (CDV) on Vero cells stably expressing canine signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (Vero-DogSLAMtag; Vero-DST cells), the propagation of three strains of CDV was tested in Vero-DST cells in comparison with parental Vero cells. Strain MD77 could grow well in both cell lines, but demonstrated no syncytium formation or indistinguishable rounding cytopathic effects (CPE) in Vero cells. Strains Onderstepoort and KDK-1 also grew well in Vero-DST cells with apparent syncytium CPE, while they grew less or no efficiently, respectively, in Vero cells. All three CDV strains demonstrated the peak titers, in Vero-DST cells before reaching to an extensive CPE and drastic decrease of titers at/after full CPE. Immunohistochemistry revealed that viral antigens of all CDV strains were found exclusively in the syncytia in Vero-DST cells, while in Vero cells, viral antigen was identified in their single cells for strain MD77 but none for other strains. Thus, every strain of CDV could grow well in Vero-DST cells and behaved differently against Vero cells. These results would be of practical value for workers of CDV because 1) In Vero-DST cells, by observation of distinct syncytium CPE, the highest titer or the best growth of virus could be identified; 2) In Vero cells, various CDV strains could be readily classified after propagation in Vero-DST cells.  相似文献

Subgroup-specific peptide-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays from the G-protein of the ovine and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), respectively, were used to determine the prevalence of the ovine and bovine subgroup strains of RSV infections in cattle. A total of 1,102 bovine serum samples were obtained from 6 diagnostic laboratories located in the northwestern and the southeastern USA and were tested for antibody to either the bovine or ovine subgroups of RSV. Antibody to viruses from each subgroup was present in samples from each region and all states tested. The Southeast had a higher prevalence of the bovine subgroup strains (69.5%). Then did the Northwest (40.9%). The prevalence of the ovine strain was similar for the two regions (16.7% in the southeast, 14.9% in the northwest). The overall prevalence was 56.6% for the bovine strain and 15.9% for the ovine strain. These results suggest members of the ovine subgroup of RSV circulate in the cattle population but with less frequency than those viruses of the bovine subgroup.  相似文献

Calves were inoculated with a bovine para-influenza-3 variant to determine its pathogenicity and the stability of its cytopathic feature and its inability to agglutinate chicken erythrocytes. The inoculated calves and one contact animal developed an immune response without significant clinical illness. The clinical response in calves was similar to that induced by the parent virus strain. The variant was shown to retain its characteristic cytopathic effect for Madin Darby bovine kidney cells and its property of hemagglutination following one passage in the natural host.  相似文献

A total of 59 mastitis staphylococcic strains were tested for growth agglutination upon supplementation of growth media with ovine and bovine milk whey and mammary secretions from dry cows. Differences were observed when comparing bacterial species or origins (ovine vs. bovine) of bacteria and whey. All of the ovine and bovine S. aureus strains tested, but only 4 among 22 other ovine mastitis staphylococcic strains, showed growth agglutination in Todd Hewitt broth (THB) supplemented with greater than or equal to 30% (v/v) ovine milk whey. None of the strains agglutinated during growth in regular THB medium. Ovine whey had an agglutination induction capacity higher than bovine whey (P less than 0.005), concerning the number of responsive ovine and bovine S. aureus strains. There were no differences between whey samples from different ewes with regard to their capacity to induce agglutination. Ovine S. aureus strains were more responsive than bovine strains of this bacterial species, concerning the number of responsive strains (P less than 0.001) to bovine whey (greater than or equal to 30% in THB), the proportion of responsive strains at low (10%) ovine whey concentration (P less than 0.001), and the strength of reaction (precipitation timing and clump size). Secretions from dry cows systematically induced agglutination in all of the bovine and ovine S. aureus strains tested.  相似文献

Apoptosis of Vero cells infected with two canine distemper virus (CDV) vaccine strains was detected using TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase)-mediated dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL), flow cytometric analysis, agarose gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy (EM). By TUNEL, apoptotic cells were found in CDV-Onderstepoort (CDV-Ond)-infected cells. DNA fragments isolated from infected cells were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and a 'ladder' pattern appeared. EM observations demonstrated that the cells undergoing cytopathic effect (CPE) possessed morphological characteristics of apoptotic cells. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that CDV could induce apoptosis of Vero cells, but the percentages of the apoptotic cells were correlated with the CPE types. The strain showing the cell-rounding type of CPE produced a much higher percentage of apoptotic cells than CDV-Ond with the syncytium type of CPE (P < 0.01). It was concluded that CDV vaccine strains could induce apoptosis of Vero cells and the apoptosis was virus strain-dependent and cell-dependent. The mechanism remains to be studied.  相似文献

Histophilus somni is an important pathogen of cattle and sheep. H. somni requires iron and can use ruminant transferrins as iron sources for growth. Here, we investigated the abilities of bovine (strains 649 and 2,336) and ovine (strains 9L and 3384Y) isolates of H. somni to acquire iron from haemoglobins. Using growth assays, the bovine isolates were shown to acquire iron from bovine haemoglobin, but not from ovine, porcine or human haemoglobins; the ovine isolates, however, failed to use any of these haemoglobins as iron sources for growth. In solid phase binding assays, the bovine isolates, grown under iron-restricted conditions in the presence of bovine haemoglobin, bound not only bovine but also ovine and human haemoglobins. Competition binding assays indicated that all three haemoglobins were bound by the same receptor(s) and SDS-PAGE of membrane fractions revealed that expression of haemoglobin-binding activity was associated with the production of an approximately 120-kDa outer membrane protein. PCR approaches allowed the amplification and sequencing of hgbA, and also hugX and hugZ homologues from strains 649, 9L and 3384Y. While hgbA of strain 649 was predicted to encode an HgbA precursor that is processed to yield a mature, 123.9-kDa haemoglobin-binding protein, the hgbA genes of strains 9L and 3384Y were predicted to give rise to truncated products. RT-PCR experiments revealed that in strain 649, hugX, hugZ and hgbA are co-transcribed and iron-regulated and additional sequencing suggested that in strain 2336, expression of HgbA is subject to phase variation involving a poly C tract within hgbA.  相似文献

The effects of 3 ovine and one bovine strains of Bacteroides nodosus on the severity of foot-rot, bodyweight and wool growth were compared in Merino sheep in a field experiment. Based on the severity of the induced foot lesions, one strain was classed as virulent (causing underrunning lesions in most feet), one was benign (causing lesions of the interdigital skin only), and 2, including the bovine strain, were of intermediate virulence (causing underrunning lesions in a small proportion of feet). Differences among strains in their effect on foot-rot severity and bodyweight were significant when compared over the whole experimental period, but were not significant at any single time of measurement, because of large differences between replicates. Bodyweight loss and severity of foot-rot caused by the virulent strain were significantly greater than that caused by the benign strain. The intermediate strains lay between these 2 extremes in terms of both bodyweight and foot-rot scores but were not significantly different from either in a statistical sense. Total greasy wool weight did not differ among groups over the whole experiment, but the rate of wool growth during the period when foot lesions were most prevalent and severe was reduced appreciably by the virulent strain and to a lesser extent by the intermediate strains.  相似文献

Replication of infectious bursal disease virus in continuous cell lines   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
Three mammalian continuous cell lines--MA-104, Vero, and BGM-70--were tested for their ability to support replication of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Selected tissue-culture-adapted vaccine strains and tissue-culture-adapted field isolates of IBDV replicated in the MA-104, Vero, and BGM-70 cells; cytopathic effects were most pronounced in the BGM-70 cells. The cytopathic effects of the viruses in BGM-70 cells and chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cultures were similar. Virus-neutralization titers of selected serum samples determined in BGM-70 cultures compared well with those obtained from CEF cultures.  相似文献

为了确诊猪伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)的感染,探讨目前广西猪群中流行的PRVgE基因的变异特征,为更好地防控猪伪狂犬病(PR)提供参考依据,本研究采集了广西陆川某猪场保育猪群发生呼吸道症状的肺脏组织,并用Vero细胞进行病毒分离,应用PCR方法对分离株的gE基因进行克隆和测序,根据测序结果证实分离到1个PRV毒株,命名为GXLC1。分离株在Vero细胞上增殖,细胞出现典型的病变;GXLC1株gE基因与GenBank上20株国内外具有代表性参考毒株的核苷酸序列同源性为97.1%~99.4%,氨基酸同源性为94.3%~99.6%;gE基因的遗传进化分析显示,GXLC1株与2012年的国内流行毒株亲缘关系较近,与欧美分离株亲缘关系较远;氨基酸序列分析显示,GXLC1株gE蛋白主要抗原表位区较之国内经典强毒株有3个氨基酸位点的变异,可能导致gE抗原性发生改变。本研究将分离到的1个PRV毒株进行了gE基因的分析,发现GXLC1株为近年来流行的变异株,gE蛋白在抗原表位区上有3个氨基酸位点的变异,这是否会影响GXLC1株毒力和抗原性的变化,还有待进一步研究;对gE基因变异特征的分析和病毒的分离为进一步丰富广西PRV的分子流行病学和疫苗的研制提供参考依据和重要材料。  相似文献

Primary cultures of bovine fibroblast (BF) and canine brain cells, persistently infected with virulent R252-canine distemper virus (CDV), were cocultured with African green monkey (Vero) cells. Transfer of persistent CDV from BF to Vero cells varied inversely with the in vitro passage level (age) of the CDV-infected BF cells. Successful transfer of CDV to Vero cells was signaled by the transient appearance of viral syncytia, rapid spread of viral antigen to all Vero cells in the culture, and by recovery of cell-free Vero-infectious virus in culture fluids. With time, viral cytopathic effects in Vero cells containing CDV disappeared, and the infected lines could not be distinguished from noninfected control Vero cells, except by immunoassay for viral antigen.  相似文献

Two longitudinal experiments involving Merino sheep challenged with either bovine or ovine strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) have been conducted over a period of 54 and 35 months, respectively. Blood samples for the interferon-gamma test, the absorbed ELISA and faecal samples for bacteriological culture were taken pre-challenge and monthly post-challenge. Infections were induced with either a bovine or ovine strain of Map in separate experiments with infections being more easily established, in terms of faecal bacterial shedding and clinical disease when the challenge inoculum was prepared from gut mucosal tissue than cultured bacteria. The patterns of response for shedding and clinical disease were similar. Cell-mediated immune responses were proportionally elevated by at least an order of magnitude in all sheep dosed with either a bovine or ovine strain of Map. Conversely, antibody responses were only elevated in a relatively small proportion of infected sheep. Neither of the clinically affected tissue challenged sheep developed an antibody response despite the presence of persistent shedding and the development and decline in cell-mediated immunity. The results indicated that for sheep the interferon-gamma test may be useful for determining if a flock has been exposed to ovine Johne's disease.  相似文献
