Anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-Id Abs) were produced in rabbits after inoculation with two mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against canine herpesvirus (CHV) glycoproteins (gps). One of the mAbs, 12H11, was directed against an epitope on gp 145/112 of CHV which induced virus neutralizing (VN) antibodies and against a cross-reacting epitope on the gp 143/108 of feline herpes-virus type 1 (FHV-1). The other mAb, 11F7, was directed against epitopes on CHV gp47 which induce VN and hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) antibodies. Using VN-inhibition and HAI-inhibition assays with CHV and FHV-1, the anti-Id Abs obviously inhibited the activities of autologous mAbs, suggesting that anti-Id Abs mimic the epitopes of CHV gp 145/112 or FHV-1 gp 143/108 and CHV gp47 by binding the anti-combining site of the mAbs. These anti-Id Abs, when injected into mice, elicited specific CHV-neutralizing and HAI antibody responses, and one of them also elicited a specific FHV-1-neutralizing antibody response. These data supported the idea that immunization with anti-Id Ab can induce specific VN antibody response, as has been theorized by other workers.  相似文献

Viruses with properties consistent with herpesvirus were isolated from dogs with diarrhea. The viruses were shown to be antigenically related to feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) by virus neutralization tests. It was also observed that a canine herpesvirus (CHV) prototype, D004, and two field isolates from fatal CHV infections in 2-week-old and 6-week-old puppies were neutralized at a low level by antiserum to FHV-1. Reciprocal neutralization tests with CHV antiserum against FHV-1 were negative. These results indicated that viruses related to FHV-1 can infect the dog and that there appears to be uni-directional virus neutralization of CHV by FHV-1 antibody.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) were used to characterize feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) glycoproteins (gp). Intracellular localization and transport of these proteins as revealed by a sequential indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on fixed infected cells showed slight differences between FHV-1 gp143/108 and gp113. Antibodies against gp143/108 first showed membrane fluorescence at 4 hrs post-infection (PI) followed by a pronounced perinuclear and cytoplasmic staining from 8 hrs PI onwards. Those reacting with gp113 showed the same pattern but fluorescence did not appear until 8 hrs PI. In contrast, MoAbs against gp60 first showed para- and perinuclear staining at 12 hrs PI which became intranuclear at 16 hrs PI, followed by intracytoplasmic staining at 20 hrs PI. Sequential IFA of unfixed infected cells revealed that the three glycoproteins were expressed on the cell surface membrane as well. Topographical mapping of the functional epitopes of gp113 by ELISA additivity test indicated the presence of 2 antigenic domains--a neutralizing domain consisting of 3 overlapping epitopes and a non-neutralizing domain. On the other hand, gp143/108 contained only one antigenic site consisting of 5 similar or overlapping epitopes, one of which seemed to be a conserved region recognized by all MoAbs reacting to this protein.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) were used to identify the hemagglutinin of canine herpesvirus (CHV). The inhibition of viral hemagglutination (HA) activity was observed with MoAbs against 41 kD glycoprotein, while no hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) activity was observed with those against 145/112 kD and 80 kD glycoproteins, suggesting that the 41 kD glycoprotein is the hemagglutinin of plaque-selected virus of CHV YP11 strain used as immunogen for MoAb production. All of the HI MoAbs also showed HI activities against HA antigens which were prepared from cells infected with other CHV strains, namely, F-205 V and Glasgow CHV2 reference strains, eight Japanese isolates, and the original YP11 strain. However, on immunoblotting analysis, a 47 kD protein band was detected in these strains by the HI MoAbs. These data suggest that the 47 kD glycoprotein is the common molecule of the hemagglutinin among CHV strains and the plaque-selected virus of YP11 strain appears to be a mutant whose molecular weight of the hemagglutinin changed into 41 kD.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using canine herpesvirus (CHV) as a vaccine vector for bait-delivered oral vaccination of wild foxes. To test the viability of CHV in baits, CHV was freeze-dried, incorporated into different baits, stored, and the remaining viral infectivity tested in cell culture after varying periods of time at different storage temperatures. Experimental baits (mouse carcasses) and commercial baits (FOXOFF and PROBAIT) were prepared with either liquid or freeze-dried CHV and tested in two fox trials for their capacity to induce CHV-specific antibodies following oral baiting. Freeze-drying and storage temperatures below 0 degrees C had a stabilizing effect to virus infectivity. When stored at -20 degrees C, freeze-dried CHV retained its full infectivity for up to 3 months in PROBAIT baits, the remaining infectivity in FOXOFF baits was 100-fold less. Oral baiting with CHV induced antiviral serum antibodies in all vaccinated foxes (20/20). None of the vaccinated foxes became ill or shed infectious virus into the environment although viral DNA was detected in body secretions as evaluated by PCR. The results indicate that CHV can be freeze-dried and stored over extended periods of time without loosing much of its infectivity. This is the first report of CHV being used for oral bait vaccination of foxes. It appears that CHV is well suited for use as a recombinant vector for wild canids.  相似文献

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

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether detection of virus-specific serum antibodies correlates with resistance to challenge with virulent feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1), feline calicivirus (FCV), and feline parvovirus (FPV) in cats and to determine percentages of client-owned cats with serum antibodies to FHV-1, FCV, and FPV. DESIGN: Prospective experimental study. ANIMALS: 72 laboratory-reared cats and 276 client-owned cats. PROCEDURES: Laboratory-reared cats were vaccinated against FHV-1, FCV, and FPV, using 1 of 3 commercial vaccines, or maintained as unvaccinated controls. Between 9 and 36 months after vaccination, cats were challenged with virulent virus. Recombinant-antigen ELISA for detection of FHV-1-, FCV-, and FPV-specific antibodies were developed, and results were compared with results of hemagglutination inhibition (FPV) and virus neutralization (FHV-1 and FCV) assays and with resistance to viral challenge. RESULTS: For vaccinated laboratory-reared cats, predictive values of positive results were 100% for the FPV and FCV ELISA and 90% for the FHV-1 ELISA. Results of the FHV-1, FCV, and FPV ELISA were positive for 195 (70.7%), 255 (92.4%), and 189 (68.5%), respectively, of the 276 client-owned cats. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that for cats that have been vaccinated, detection of FHV-1-, FCV-, and FPV-specific antibodies is predictive of whether cats are susceptible to disease, regardless of vaccine type or vaccination interval. Because most client-owned cats had detectable serum antibodies suggestive of resistance to infection, use of arbitrary booster vaccination intervals is likely to lead to unnecessary vaccination of some cats.  相似文献

Twenty-four Belgian field isolates of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4), together with four reference strains were compared by radio-immunoprecipitation and western blotting using a polyvalent antiserum and monoclonal antibodies raised against major glycoproteins. Most of these strains showed the same protein profile as the European reference strain Movar 33/63. For two strains the molecular weight of gp 6, p (gp 10/gp 17) and gp 10 were the same as those of the American reference strain DN 599. No relationship could be established between the protein profiles and origin of the isolates or with the restriction patterns. This study provides a view of the molecular weight variations of the major BHV-4 glycoproteins among field isolates.  相似文献

Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1; felid herpesvirus 1 (FeHV-1)) is an alphaherpesvirus of cats closely related to canine herpesvirus-1 and phocine herpesvirus-1. There is only one serotype of the virus and it is relatively homogenous genetically. FeHV-1 is an important cause of acute upper respiratory tract and ocular disease in cats. In addition, its role in more chronic ocular disease and skin lesions is increasingly being recognised. Epidemiologically, FeHV-1 behaves as a typical alphaherpesvirus whereby clinically recovered cats become latently infected carriers which undergo periodic episodes of virus reactivation, particularly after a stress. The primary site of latency is the trigeminal ganglion. Conventional inactivated and modified-live vaccines are available and protect reasonably well against disease but not infection, although viral shedding may be reduced. Genetically engineered vaccines have also been developed, both for FeHV-1 and as vector vaccines for other pathogens, but none is as yet marketed.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Recombinant feline interferon omega (rFeIFN-omega), a type I IFN, may have the potential to limit virus replication and associated clinical signs when administered early on in the course of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) infection and reactivation, respectively. The effect of rFeIFN-omega pretreatment on the course of subsequent FHV-1 infection in cats was investigated. ANIMALS STUDIED: Nine SPF cats were divided into an IFN group (n = 5) and a control-group (n = 4). PROCEDURES: The IFN group was pretreated for 2 days with 10 000 units rFeIFN-omega twice a day topically into both eyes and 20 000 units rFeIFN-omega once a day orally, whereas the control group was mock-treated. Subsequently all cats were infected with FHV-1. Samples for FHV-1 DNA detection and quantitation, virus isolation, and titration of FHV-1 antibodies were collected. Clinical and ocular signs were recorded and scored. RESULTS: Courses of median individual clinical and ocular scores and virus load did not differ significantly between both groups using anova for repeated measurements. Analysis (anova) of each individual ocular parameter revealed significantly high scores for epithelial keratitis (P = 0.016) in the IFN group compared to the control group. Periods of virus shedding did not differ significantly between both groups using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicated a lack of beneficial effects of rFeIFN-omega pretreatment in the course of primary FHV-1 infection in cats.  相似文献

We report on the pathogenicity of canine herpesvirus (CHV) for European red foxes. In the first experiment, we inoculated 10 adult foxes intravenously with a canine isolate of CHV. All foxes became infected and shed CHV in saliva and genital secretions for up to 14 days post-inoculation (p.i.) as evaluated by PCR and/or by virus isolation. All foxes developed clinical signs such as fever, lethargy and evidence of respiratory tract disease. Two foxes died on day 6 p.i., one on day 7 p.i., and one fox was euthanased on day 6 p.i. Tissues taken from the four dead foxes were positive for CHV by PCR. The remaining six foxes recovered after approximately 14 days p.i. Virus particles with morphology typical of herpesviruses were found by electron microscopy in the liver of an infected animal. All surviving foxes developed serum anti-CHV antibodies. In a second experiment, six foxes were dosed perorally with CHV and paired with six untreated controls. Neither the perorally dosed nor the in-contact control foxes developed clinical signs of disease. Infectious CHV was not isolated from any of the dosed or the in-contact foxes but all perorally-infected foxes and one of the in-contact foxes tested PCR-positive for CHV on several occasions p.i. All perorally-infected foxes, but none of the in-contact foxes, seroconverted. In summary, intravenous CHV inoculation caused a clinical disease in adult foxes much more severe than observed in experimentally-infected adult dogs. No clinical disease or virus spread was observed after peroral dosing although viral infection occurred as evidenced by seroconversion.  相似文献

An experimental (Iscom) vaccine previously shown to protect hamsters from lethal challenge with equid herpesvirus-1 (Ehv-1), was tested in horses. Vaccination with Ehv-1 Iscoms induced serum antibodies to the major virus glycoproteins gp10, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 21/22a, whereas antibody responses to gp2 were weak or absent. High levels of virus neutralising antibody of long duration were induced, but did not prevent challenge infection with virus of the homologous strain. However, in the vaccinated ponies there was a significant reduction in clinical signs, nasal virus excretion and cell associated viraemia compared with age-matched unvaccinated controls. There was a strong correlation between pre-challenge levels of serum virus neutralising antibody and the duration and total amount of virus excreted from the nasopharynx.  相似文献

We produced monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), Los Angeles strain, and then evaluated them as potential candidates for preparing diagnostic reagents. Of the 318 cell lines expressing antibodies to the virus, 60% (192) secreted IgG and 40% (126) secreted IgM. Twenty-six mAbs were selected based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and virus neutralization (VN) titers and characterized by immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence and immunoblots. The selected mAbs were assigned to one of four groups based on their immunoprecipitation patterns. Group A (4 mAbs) precipitated a complex of three glycoproteins with molecular weight (MW) 130 kDa, 72 kDa and 55 kDa, which presumably represented gI of BHV-1. Monoclonal antibodies of this group were highly reactive in ELISA but had low VN titers. Group B (4 mAbs) precipitated a glycoprotein with MW of 71 kDa (gIV). This group of mAbs had high VN titers. Group C (16 mAbs) precipitated a 97 kDa glycoprotein (gIII). Monoclonal antibodies of this group had high ELISA but low VN titers. Group D (2 mAbs) precipitated a double band of non-glycosylated proteins with MW of 37/32 kDa; these proteins could not be assigned to any of the antigens of BHV-1 previously described. ELISA and VN titers of this group of mAbs were low. To test the antigenic variability of the antigenic determinants which were recognized by these 4 groups of mAbs, we adapted Madin Darby bovine kidney cell-propagated BHV-1 Los Angeles strain to Crandell's feline kidney cell line. After the tenth passage in feline kidney cells, the epitopes on the 37/32 kDa peptide recognized by the mAbs group D were no longer detectable. Additional changes were noted in the electrophoretic mobility of the 130 kDa and 71 kDa glycoproteins (gI) identified by mAb of group A shifted downward. The 71 kDa glycoprotein (gIV) reactive with mAb group B and the 97 kDa (gIII) reactive with mAb group C remained stable. Since clone No. 191 of group B mAb was potent in ELISA, VN, immunoblots and immunofluorescence, and recognized an epitope which did not change under selective pressure, we feel that the mAb produced by this clone are a good candidate for the production of diagnostic reagents.  相似文献

A recombinant canine herpesvirus (CHV) which expressed glycoprotein B (gB) of pseudorabies virus (PrV) was constructed. The antigenicity of the PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV is similar to that of the native PrV. The expressed PrV gB was shown to be transported to the surface of infected cells as judged by an indirected immunofluorescence test. Antibodies raised in mice immunized with the recombinant CHV neutralized the infectivity of PrV in vitro. It is known that the authentic PrV gB exists as a glycoprotein complex, which consists of gBa, gBb and gBc. In MDCK cells, PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV was processed like authentic PrV gB, suggesting that the cleavage mechanism of PrV gB depends on a functional cleavage domain from PrV gB gene and protease from infected cells.  相似文献

Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) infection, but not necessarily chronic or recurrent disease, is common throughout domestic cat populations worldwide. Knowledge of a few essential virological facts permits practitioners to provide appropriate advice to owners of individual pet cats infected with this virus and to assist in the management of shelters and other multicat households in which the virus is enzootic. This article discusses pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and clinical signs considered characteristic of infection with FHV-1. Treatment options are considered under the broad categories of supportive care, antiviral agents, and adjunctive therapies.  相似文献

In order to confirm the in vivo effectiveness of anti- feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) mouse-cat chimeric antibody (FJH2), and anti-feline calicivirus (FCV) mouse-cat chimeric antibody (F1D7), cats that had been experimentally infected with FHV-1 or FCV were administered intravenously with the chimeric antibodies, and observed for clinical manifestations. The symptoms due to FHV-1 or FCV infection in the cats administered FJH2 or F1D7 were obviously decreased when compared with those of the non-administered control cats. From these results, it was confirmed that both FJH2 and F1D7 were effective at reducing the appearance of symptoms due to FHV-1 and FCV infection, respectively.  相似文献

To detect antibody against feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) in the sera of cats, the sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using nuclear antigen was investigated. The standardized optical density readings (ODs) of the ELISA obtained by the 1-step serum dilution (1:80) method were compared with the serum neutralization test (SNT) results, with a correlation of 0.993, and with the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test results, with a correlation of 0.851. The ODs for the ELISA titers were obtained using the serial serum dilution method and were compared with the SNT results, with a correlation of 0.933, and with the HI test results, with a correlation of 0.987. In the experimental infection of 4 specific-pathogen-free cats, the results of different serologic tests (SNT and HI) and the ELISA using the serial serum dilution method revealed rapid production of antibodies after inoculation, whereas the ELISA using the one-step serum dilution method indicated that titers increased more slowly. These results indicate that with the present ELISA using nuclear antigen, there are fewer demands on time and labor, making the method convenient for monitoring FHV-1 infection.  相似文献

This review focuses on felid herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1), the most studied of the carnivore herpesviruses. Canid herpesvirus (CHV-1) and phocid (seal) herpesvirus 1 (PhHV-1) are also included where information is available. FHV-1 is a member of the Varicellovirus genus of the Alphaherpesvirinae, which appears to be closely related phylogenetically to both CHV-1 and PhHV-1. FHV-1 infects both domestic and some wild Felidae, such as cheetahs, and is predominantly a respiratory pathogen of cats. As in other herpesviruses, infection with FHV-1 is characterised by a latent carrier state, during which intermittent shedding of infectious virus may occur. Typical of an alphaherpesvirus, the primary site of FHV-1 latency is neurological tissue (trigeminal ganglion), though recent studies using the polymerase chain reaction have suggested that some latency may occur in non-neurological sites. Latently infected carriers are epidemiologically important as sources of infection for susceptible animals. Though conventional modified live and inactivated vaccines have been available for a number of years, they do not protect against infection nor the development of latency. Recently, work has focused on molecular characterisation of FHV-1, detecting genes such as glycoproteins or regulatory genes. Such work will enable better understanding of the interaction of FHV-1 with the natural host. Deletion mutants of some of these genes may also have potential as vaccine strains.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine relative detection rates and detection limits for 6 published polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays used for detection of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) DNA. SAMPLE POPULATION: 5 vaccines licensed for use in preventing FHV-1-associated disease; 15 conjunctival biopsy specimens collected from cats with keratitis, conjunctivitis, or both; and a plaque-purified field isolate of FHV-1 cultured in vitro. PROCEDURE: Vaccines and clinical samples were assessed for FHV-1 DNA by use of all 6 assays. Detection rates were calculated by assuming that any sample in which FHV-1 DNA was detected was a true-positive result. Detection limits were estimated by use of serial dilutions of DNA extracted from cultured FHV-1 and 1 clinical sample. RESULTS: Testing by use of all 6 assays resulted in detection of FHV-1 DNA in all 5 vaccines. Testing by use of all 6 assays yielded concordant results for 9 of 15 conjunctival biopsy specimens (8 with negative results and 1 with a positive result). Calculated detection rates for clinical samples ranged from 29% to 86%. Assay sensitivity was ranked similarly by use of detection rate or detection limit. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Testing by use of all assays was equally likely to detect vaccine virus. Therefore, a positive PCR result in a cat may reflect vaccine virus rather than wild-type virus. Test sensitivity as assessed by detection limits and detection rates varied greatly. Because FHV-1 can be shed in clinically normal animals, high detection rate will not necessarily correlate with high diagnostic sensitivity.  相似文献
