Fifteen Canadian field isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus from Quebec and Ontario were compared with 5 US PRRS virus (PRRSV) isolates and with the European Lelystad isolate using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) SDOW17, EP147, and VO17 directed to the 15-kDa nucleocapsid protein of PRRSV. All Canadian and US isolates tested by indirect immunofluorescence were recognized by the 3 MAbs, and individual titers of MAbs towards Canadian and US PRRSV isolates were similar as well. In contrast, the Lelystad virus isolate reacted only with the SDOW17 MAb and showed no reactivity with either EP147 or VO17. The reactivity pattern with these MAbs suggests that the Canadian isolates of PRRSV tested are antigenically similar to US isolates of PRRSV, and that these North American isolates share highly conserved epitopes on the 15-kDa nucleocapsid protein that clearly differentiate them from the European Lelystad virus isolate.  相似文献

Two cytopathic agents were isolated on porcine alveolar macrophages following inoculation with homogenates of lung tissues from pigs showing respiratory problems. These isolates were identified as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus isolates by indirect immunofluorescence using a PRRS virus (PRRSV) specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) and were designated as LHVA-92-1 and LHVA-92-2. Immunogold electron microscopy using a porcine PRRS positive serum pool and protein A-gold resulted in an intense labelling of aggregates of viral particles. Dark specific cytoplasmic staining of porcine alveolar macrophages infected with both virus isolates could be observed by immunogold silver staining (IGSS) using the specific MAb. This method proved effective in detecting PRRSV antigens in several ethanol-fixed tissues of piglets intranasally inoculated with the supernatants of macrophages infected with each isolate. Immunogold silver staining was also successfully used for the detection of PRRSV antigens on sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lung tissues and on frozen sections of lungs. The present results indicate that colloidal gold may be useful for the identification and immunohistochemical detection of PRRSV in tissues.  相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to examine the antigenicity of turkey coronavirus (TCV) isolates from various geographic areas with antibodies to different viruses. Seventeen isolates of TCV were recovered from intestinal samples submitted to Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Purdue University, from turkey farms located in different geographic areas. The prototype TCV Minnesota isolate (TCV-ATCC) was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. Intestinal sections were prepared from turkey embryos infected with different TCV isolates and reacted with polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies to TCV, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), bovine coronavirus (BCV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), reovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, or enterovirus in immunofluorescent antibody staining. All 18 TCV isolates have the same antigenic reactivity pattern with the same panel of antibodies. Positive reactivity was seen with polyclonal antibodies to the TCV Indiana isolate, the TCV Virginia isolate, TCV-ATCC, and the IBV Massachusetts strain as well as monoclonal antibodies to the TCV North Carolina isolate or the membrane protein of IBV. Antibodies to BCV or TGEV were not reactive with any of the TCV isolates. Reactivity of antibodies to unrelated virus, rotavirus, reovirus, adenovirus, or enterovirus with different TCV isolates was all negative, except positive response was seen between enterovirus antibody and a TCV western North Carolina isolate, suggesting coinfection of turkeys with TCV and enterovirus in that particular case. The results indicated that the TCV isolates from these geographic locations in the U.S. shared close antigenicity and were antigenically related to IBV.  相似文献

Mice were immunized with partially purified preparations of the Cux-1 isolate of chicken anemia agent (CAA), and their splenocytes were fused with NSO myeloma cells. Three patterns of staining of CAA-infected cells were recognized when the resulting hybridomas were screened by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF). Hybridomas representative of each staining pattern were cloned, and the monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were characterized. Type 1 staining was indistinguishable from that produced by polyclonal chicken antisera to CAA. Type 2 staining was confined to large nuclear inclusions. Type 3 staining was predominantly nuclear and granular, and differed from type 1 in being more intense and occurring in a higher proportion of nuclei. Three MAbs producing type 1 staining were predominantly Cux-1-specific by IIF; they also reacted to lower titers with the Gifu-1 isolate but not at all with three other CAA isolates. These MAbs had very slight neutralizing activity against Cux-1. Another MAb giving type 1 staining reacted with all CAA isolates tested to high titers in IIF and neutralization tests. MAbs with type 2 and type 3 staining reacted by IIF with all CAA isolates tested but possessed no neutralizing activity. The availability of MABs to CAA should facilitate development of diagnostic tests for the virus.  相似文献

Twelve Brazilian isolates and three reference strains of bovine herpesviruses (BHVs) were subjected to restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) and monoclonal antibody (MAb) analysis. Viral DNA was cleaved with BamHI, BstEII, EcoRI, HindIII and PstI. The monoclonal antibody panel allowed the differentiation between types 1 and 5 viruses, while REA with BstEII and HindIII showed the distinction between BHV-1 and -5 subtypes. Typical 1.1 and 1.2a patterns were observed with two isolates from respiratory disease. An isolate from semen of a clinically healthy bull displayed 1.2b profile, whereas another displayed a clear 5a pattern, which was never reported before. Seven out of nine Brazilian type 5 (BHV-5) isolates displayed REA patterns similar to the Australian BHV-5 strain N569 (BHV-5a), and differing from the Argentinean A663 strain (BHV-5b) virus. Another two BHV-5 isolates, which displayed an unusual MAb pattern of reactivity, showed a BstEII profile different from both reference strains of BHV-5. These two viruses were considered BHV-5 "non-a/non-b" subtype.  相似文献

Abstract

The first isolates of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) recovered from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (formerly Salmo gairdneri) in France and Italy were compared to six representative strains from North America by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of virion polypeptides and neutralization by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). All three IHNV isolates from Europe had similar polypeptide profiles when compared by SDS-PAGE. An analysis of the antigenic relatedness of the European isolates to representative strains from North America showed that they were clearly different from viruses obtained from salmonids in California. The RB/B5 MAb, which was developed against virus isolated from adult steelhead (anadromous rainbow trout) reared in central Oregon, neutralized all isolates examined. The 193–110/B4 MAb, developed against IHNV isolated from infected yearling rainbow trout in southern Idaho, neutralized all isolates tested except those from California. The SRCV/A4 MAb, developed against Sacramento River chinook virus (SRCV) isolated from adult spring chinook salmon O. tshawytscha in central California, was the least reactive, and strong neutralization was observed only with the SRCV strain of IHNV from California. However, partial reactivity of the virus isolates from France with the SRCV/A4 MAb distinguished them from the virus recovered from salmonids in Italy.  相似文献

Further studies on rabies virus isolated from healthy dogs in Nigeria   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  
Rabies viruses isolated from healthy dogs, were passaged in mice and adapted to cell culture. After 5-7 passages, isolated viruses were subjected to monoclonal antibody (Mab) characterization with a panel of 36 anti-nucleocapsid (NC) and 40 anti-glycoprotein (G) MAbs. The four viruses showed positive fluorescence with all NC hybridomas except MAb 422-5, confirming them as true rabies virus isolates. The anti-G MAb reactivity pattern was the same in the four isolates indicating that they belong to the same antigenic group, but were antigenically distinct from the Flury LEP rabies vaccine virus which is widely used throughout Nigeria for canine vaccination, and from other previously characterized street lyssaviruses from Nigeria.  相似文献

A panel of three anti-glycoprotein 5 (gp5) protein monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (15, 28 and 246) and three anti-nucleocapsid (N) protein mAbs (SDOW17, VO17 and EP147) was used to investigate, by an indirect fluorescent antibody test, the antigenic variations of 50 Korean isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), and compare them with a us ATCC vR2332-derived attenuated vaccine strain and the reference European Lelystad strain of PRRSV. A multiplex PCR assay for the differentiation of European and North American genotypes of PRRSV was used to determine the genotype of the 50 Korean isolates. Forty-six (92 per cent) of the 50 Korean isolates shared the epitopes recognised by the anti-N protein mAb SDOW17. No reactivity to the anti-gp5 and anti-N protein mAbs was observed with the other four isolates. Six distinct patterns could be identified on the basis of their reactivities with the anti-PRRSV mAbs. All 50 isolates were identified as North American genotypes by the differential PCR.  相似文献

Rabies isolates (genotype 1 lyssaviruses) from vaccinated dogs that died of rabies infection in the Plateau area of Nigeria were characterized using monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The isolates were examined for rabies (genotype 1) and rabies-related (genotypes 2, 3 and 4) viruses by the indirect fluorescent antibody test carried out with MAb 502-2, which recognizes the nucleocapsid protein of all known lyssaviruses, and with MAb 422-5, which identifies only rabies-related viruses. All three isolates showed positive immunofluorescence with MAb 502-2 and were negative with MAb 422-5, indicating that they were all rabies (genotype 1) viruses.Characterization with a panel of 36 anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies showed that all three isolates reacted positively with 35 of the anti-nucleocapsid MAbs, including MAb 102-27 and MAb 377-7. Characterization using a panel of 44 anti-glycoprotein MAbs differentiated the isolates sharply from LEP Flury and PM vaccine viruses. The pattern of anti-glycoprotein reactivity of the isolates showed them to belong to one distinct viral subtype, except for a minor variation in one isolate that was not neutralized by MAb 1101-3. None of the three isolates was identified as the Flury low egg passage (LEP) vaccine strain used for vaccinating dogs in Nigeria. In fact, all the three isolates had the typical pattern of reactivity of isolates from unvaccinated dogs, including MASS 83, a rabies virus isolated in Nigeria and characterized at the Wister Institute before this study.  相似文献

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) prevention and control programs are dependent upon rapid, reliable diagnostic procedures. The widely used FMD diagnostic complement fixation (CF) procedures require a specific antiserum for each of the seven FMDV serotypes making the tests both cumbersome and difficult to standardize. An FMD diagnostic, monoclonal antibody based inhibition-ELISA procedure was developed. The test uses a single monoclonal antibody (MAb) that reacts with all European and South American FMDV isolates examined. The procedure detects a highly conserved epitope on the 12S protein subunit of FMDV which appears to be common to all FMDV's with the exception of the South African Territories 2 serotype. The results indicate that the sensitivity of this test is greater than CF and approaches that of virus isolation.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies reactive to the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) protein gp53 were produced and characterized. These antibodies and our panel of anti-p80/125 monoclonal antibodies were tested for their cross-reactivity with 11 different North American and European (Danish) BVDV strains and isolates including viruses of both cytopathic and noncytopathic biotypes. The four anti-gp53 monoclonal antibodies were neutralizing for the homologous Danish cytopathic isolate and cross-reacted with all BVDV strains examined except for the Draper strain. Further, anti-gp53 monoclonal antibodies neutralized the majority of BVDV strains examined. The anti-p80/125 monoclonal antibodies cross-reacted with all eleven strains and isolates tested. This indicated that various strains of BVDV have common epitopes. The broad cross-reactivities demonstrated by these monoclonal antibodies suggest that a pool of these antibodies may be used for detection of BVDV cellular contamination or for virus isolation, in place of polyclonal antiserum.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) were examined for binding with a large number of North American BVDV isolates and eight strains of the serologically related pestivirus, hog cholera virus (HCV). No single BVDV monoclonal antibody reacted with all BVDV isolates. The most cross-reactive monoclonal antibody was an anti-p80/p125 antibody which showed a positive reaction with 173 of 180 (96%) North American isolates. From a fewer number of isolates tested, one anti-gp53 monoclonal antibody also showed a high cross-reactivity (94%). All BVDV isolates showed a positive reaction with at least one of the seven monoclonal antibodies in the panel. Thus, the results indicated that a pool of these monoclonal antibodies may be used in place of polyclonal antisera for the detection of BVDV contamination of cell lines or for virus isolation. For HCV, all three anti-p80/p125 monoclonal antibodies reacted positively with all eight virus strains. In contrast, none of the anti-gp53 monoclonal antibodies were reactive to HCV strains. Thus, the anti-gp53 monoclonal antibodies may be useful for distinguishing between usually innocuous BVDV infections and the highly significant HCV infections in swine for foreign animal disease surveillance.  相似文献

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) developed against Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain PG31 was used to probe the antigenic profiles of 5 recognized strains (PG31, R, S6, F, A5969) and 6 field isolates of M gallisepticum. Monoclonal antibody G9 predominantly recognized antigens at apparent molecular mass positions of 90 to 98 kDA. The MAb reacted with all strains and isolates, but the molecular mass position of the antigens varied among some mycoplasmas. Monoclonal antibody G12 reacted with all strains and isolates of M gallisepticum and had an identical banding pattern. However, MAb G10 and G11 reacted selectively only with a limited number of strains and/or isolates. Surface distribution of the MAb-recognized antigens was revealed by immunoelectron microscopy. Partial physicochemical characterization of MAb G9-recognized antigens identified glycopeptide characteristics. Monoclonal antibody G9 reacted with surface antigens and, hence, participated in agglutination of M gallisepticum. However, the degree of agglutination varied among the various strains and isolates, indicating a quantitative or conformational limitation or an alteration in the anomeric expression of the epitopes. Antigenic variation in M gallisepticum may be mediated by immunologic selective pressures, or a proclivity for habit niche in the host.  相似文献

Twenty-eight PRRS viruses (PRRSVs) isolated from various pig farms in Korea between 2002 and 2003 were sequenced for open-reading frame (ORF) 5 and/or full-length genome and compared with numerous PRRSVs reported from North America, Europe and Asia. All Korean isolates examined were genetically of the North American genotype. The ORF5 sequence of one isolate was identical to Ingelvac PRRS MLV vaccine virus. ORF5 nucleotide sequence divergence of the remaining 27 Korean PRRSVs from VR-2332, the prototype of the North American PRRSV and parental strain of the MLV vaccine virus, ranged from 1.3% to 12.9%, which corresponded to 2.0% to 14.9% divergence at the amino acid level, raising a concern on the efficacy of the MLV vaccine. Phylogenetic analyses of ORF5 and/or full-length sequences revealed that the Korean PRRSVs formed a clade distinct from PRRSVs reported from other Asian countries (China, Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand). Our study demonstrated that PRRSVs of the North American genotype were introduced to the Korean swine population some time ago and have evolved independently from PRRSV in other Asian countries, suggesting that geographic separation might influence the molecular evolution of PRRSV. This should be taken into consideration when a national PRRS prevention and control policy for international trade is established.  相似文献

Four rabies virus isolates from dogs that succumbed to rabies infection in Nigeria within one year of anti-rabies vaccination were characterised by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The samples were screened for rabies and rabies-related viral antigens by the indirect fluorescent antibody test, performed with MAb 502-2, which recognises the nucleocapsid (NC) protein of all known Lyssaviruses and with MAb 422-5 which identifies African rabies-related viruses. All four canine virus isolates displayed positive fluorescence with MAb 502-2 and were negative with MAb 422-5. In the anti-NC MAb characterisation with a panel of 34 additional MAbs, all isolates displayed positive staining with 32 of the MAbs, were negative with MAb 102-27 and all displayed poor immunofluorescence with MAb 377-7. On the basis of reactivity with a panel of 40 anti-glycoprotein (G) MAbs the isolates were separated into four distinct viral subtypes. None of these canine isolates was identified as the common attenuated Flury LEP rabies strain used for domestic animal vaccination and none resembled other previously characterised rabies viruses from Nigeria.  相似文献

Swine herds in the US have experienced recent outbreaks of a severe form of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (designated acute or atypical PRRS) characterized by abortion and high mortality in pregnant sows. Most of the affected herds had been vaccinated with modified live-vaccines (MLVs) against PRRS. To explore the possible mechanism of the emergence of acute PRRS, the open reading frame 5 (ORF5) gene encoding the major envelope protein (GP5) of acute PRRSV isolates was characterized. The complete ORF5 gene of eight acute PRRSV isolates from herds experiencing acute PRRS outbreaks in Iowa and North Carolina was amplified and sequenced. Sequence analyses revealed that these acute PRRSV isolates shared 88-95% nucleotide and 88-96% amino acid sequence identities to each other, 87-97% nucleotide and 84-96% amino acid sequence identities with other North American PRRSV isolates and the MLVs. Most of the amino acid substitutions locate in the putative signal sequence and two short hypervariable regions at the amino terminus. The ORF5 gene sequence of the acute PRRSV isolate 98-37120-2 from a non-vaccinated swine herd in Iowa is very closely related to that of the RespPRRS MLV, with 97% nucleotide and 96% amino acid sequence identities. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all eight acute PRRSV isolates are clustered within the North American genotype. Several minor branches that are not associated with geographic origins were also identified within the North American genotype. One acute PRRSV isolate (98-37120-2) is clustered with the RespPRRS MLV and several Danish isolates that were confirmed to be derived from the RespPRRS MLV. The ORF5 gene sequences of other seven acute isolates are more related to those of several earlier PRRSV isolates and the PrimePac MLV than to that of the RespPRRS MLV. Our results showed that the acute PRRSV isolates analyzed in this study differed from each other in ORF5 genes, although they all clustered within the North American genotype. The data from this study do not fully support the hypothesis that the emergence of acute PRRS is due to reversion of MLVs to a pathogenic phenotype, as only one of the eight acute isolates was shown to be very closely related to the RespPRRS MLV.  相似文献

Genetic, antigenic, and pathogenic variability is known to exist among porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) viruses and has garnered great attention for diagnostics and disease control/prevention. A comparative serologic study was conducted on five field and two cell-attenuated viruses to determine if serologic responses to PRRS virus infection could be influenced by biotypic and/or genotypic differences of the viruses. The isolates used for the study varied in their virulence to pigs and in genomic sequences. Ten pigs were inoculated with each isolate (1x10(3) TCID(50)) via the intranasal route. All inoculated animals became viremic during the study period. Some animals inoculated with the attenuated viruses remained seronegative until the end of the study (42 days post-inoculation (PI)), but all of the animals inoculated with field viruses developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)- and indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA)-detectable antibodies, regardless of the virus strain used in the IFA assay. In contrast, a great degree of variation in the onset and level of serum-virus neutralization (SVN) antibody was observed by individual pigs and by each virus. The reactivity of SVN antibody was highly specific for homologous viruses. Cross-neutralization titers were better correlated with sequence homology of open-reading frames (ORFs) 4 and 5 among the viruses than any other structural genes. We conclude that the biotypic difference among PRRS viruses may affect the kinetic of humoral immune response in infected pigs. The IFA test may be used as a confirmatory test when a false-positive ELISA result is suspected or vise-a-versa, but SVN antibody titers are highly affected by antigenic variability.  相似文献

从山东各地猪场采集了50份疑似猪繁殖与呼吸综合征(PRRS)感染的病料,采用RT-PCR技术扩增出PRRS病毒(PRRSV)的ORF7基因和Nsp2基因,并对Nsp2基因进行了序列同源性比较和遗传进化树分析,从RT-PCR阳性病料中进行病毒分离,然后应用Nsp2单克隆抗体对分离毒株进行鉴别诊断。结果表明,从8份病料中同时扩增出病毒的ORF7基因和Nsp2基因,序列分析显示其中6株病毒的Nsp2缺失30个氨基酸,与Nsp2单克隆抗体不发生反应,属于变异毒株;另外两株病毒的Nsp2未见氨基酸缺失,与Nsp2单克隆抗体发生特异性反应,属于传统毒株。序列同源性和系统进化分析表明,6株变异毒株与其他高致病性毒株亲缘关系很近,而与经典毒株的遗传距离较远。  相似文献

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) ELISA antigens of high quality were produced using 8 different isolates of PRRSV: the European Lelystad virus (LV), the U.S. MN-1b, 89-46448, 93-44927, and 93-24025B, and the Canadian LHVA-93-3, PA-8 and GH-6 virus isolates. The performance of each of these 8 antigens and a commercial PRRSV antibody test kit (Idexx's HerdChek) were measured against antisera raised in 5 groups of 6 piglets inoculated with either LV, MN-1b, 89-46448, 93-44927, or 93-24025B. Among the 8 isolates, the 89-46448 isolate produced the broadest spectrum of antigen and resulted in earlier detection of antibodies to various North American PRRSV isolates, followed by MN-1b as the 2nd best ELISA antigen for the detection of North American PRRSV antibodies. The GH-6 and PA-8 viral antigens exhibited restricted detection of PRRSV antibodies. The LV and 89-46448 combined antigens produced the best performance for the detection of antibodies against both European and North American antigenic types of PRRSV. Using 173 panel samples collected at 11 to 60 d after intranasal inoculation with 1 of the 5 PRRSV isolates, the sensitivities of the indirect ELISA used were 73.4%, 98.3%, 90.8%, 98.3%, 83.2%, 93.1%, 77.1%, 64.2%, 98.8% and 95.9% for LV, MN-1b, LHVA-93-3, 89-46448, 93-44927, 93-24025B, PA-8, GH-6 antigens, 89-46448-LV combined antigens and Idexx's PRRSV antibody test kit, respectively. All 8 antigens gave negative results with preinfection porcine sera (n = 30); high background or nonspecific reactions were not observed with the antigens.  相似文献
