Purified lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from 16 serotypes of Pasteurella multocida were complexed with Aspergillus fumigatus ribosomes. The complexes were used as inocula to prepare antisera, in chickens, for somatic antigen typing by the gel diffusion precipitin test (GDPT). Antisera made against 15 of 16 LPS reacted with their respective specific heat-stable antigens in the GDPT and homologous LPS in the passive hemagglutination test. Antisera could not be made against serotype 15 LPS. Correlation was not observed between intensity of the precipitin reaction in the GDPT and titer to homologous LPS in the passive hemagglutination test. Most antisera cross-reacted with other heat-stable antigens of other serotypes in the GDPT. Many of these cross-reactions were eliminated by dilution. Cross-reactions that occurred in the GDPT with antisera made against LPS of serotypes 2, 5, 7, and 8 could not be eliminated by dilution.  相似文献

Chickens were inoculated with serotype 3 Pasteurella multocida cells or purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and their serologic responses to LPS and heat-stable antigens of 16 serotypes were compared. Chickens inoculated with cells or LPS had antibodies against LPS as determined by indirect hemagglutination tests; titers were highest 2-4 weeks after the initial inoculation. Sera from chickens inoculated with cells reacted with unheated and heated cell antigen in a tube-agglutination test. Sera from chickens inoculated with LPS reacted only with heated cell antigen in the tube-agglutination test. Nonspecific reactions with heat-stable antigens of other serotypes occurred in the gel-diffusion-precipitin test with sera from chickens inoculated with cells but not with sera from chickens inoculated with LPS. Antisera prepared against LPS could be used for serotyping field isolates of P. multocida.  相似文献

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis, direct immunofluorescence and immunodiffusion procedures were used to serotype 15 strains of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae isolated from the respiratory tract of pigs in southern Brazil. Antigens were prepared by extracting cultures with a saline solution or by the phenol-water method. Antisera were prepared in rabbits against serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 5. Thirteen of the isolates were type 5 and two were type 3. No differences were observed between the results obtained in serotyping with counter immunoelectrophoresis and direct immunodiffusion, but both procedures were significantly better than immunodiffusion except with the saline extracted antigen. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis was quicker, more sensitive and more easily performed than the other techniques.  相似文献

The production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 is described. Ten monoclonal antibodies were produced and divided, on the basis of their properties, into six different groups. One produced bacteria agglutination only of P. haemolytica serotype 1. Three antibodies bound with P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 5-8 and 12 and the antigen was identified in immunoblots as lipopolysaccharide. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-8 and 12 and P. multocida serotypes 1-7, 9, 12, 15 and 16, recognizing an epitope present on a 29 kDa outer membrane protein. One antibody bound all P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes. The antigen was a hexosamine less than 30 kDa which contained a formalin sensitive epitope. One antibody bound only to P. haemolytica serotype 1 and the antigen was identified as a 66 kDa outer membrane protein. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-9 and 12 and the antigen, while not identified, was localized on the outer membrane. This study identified antigens which contribute to the cross-reactions among P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes and the antibodies may be useful in investigating the pathogenesis of pneumonic pasteurellosis.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infections in market weight pigs in Thailand. ELISA systems employing purified lipopolysaccharide antigens were used to detect antibodies in 549 serum samples collected from pigs of 22 herds. Relevant cut-off values were established from three herds defined seronegative. Serum antibodies were detected to all serotypes except serotype 10. Almost 60% of the samples were seropositive to at least one serotype and 45% of the pigs were seropositive to more than one serotype. Antibodies to the cross-reacting serotypes 1, 9 or 11 were found in 29% of the pigs. Other common serotypes included the cross-reacting serotypes 3, 6 or 8 (26% seropositive pigs) and serotype 5a (also 26%). Antibodies to serotypes 2, 5b and 12 were low in prevalence (<10%). Three herds were regarded to be seronegative and six to have a low pathogen load with respect to the prevalence of seropositive pigs. The remaining 13 herds had a high incidence of pigs with antibodies to A. pleuropneumoniae, dominated by serotypes 1-9-11 and 5a (n = 6), serotypes 3-6-8, and 5a (n = 4) or 1-9-11, 3-6-8, 5a and 4-7 (n = 3). A low pathogen load with respect to A. pleuropneumoniae, as well as small herd size and age-segregated rearing, tended to improve the performance of growers.  相似文献

SUMMARY A survey of nearly 20 000 cattle in Queensland was conducted to describe the prevalence and distribution of infection by serotypes of bluetongue virus. The overall prevalence of serum antibodies to one or more bluetongue viruses was 8.7% (95% confidence interval 8.3 to 9.1). Sera from cattle contained neutralising activity against 2 serotypes, 1 and 21. No evidence was found of infection with other serotypes previously isolated in Australia. The overall prevalence of serotype 1 antibodies was 7.7% (95% CI 7.3 to 8.0) and the prevalence of serotype 21 antibodies was 3.3% (95% CI 3.1 to 3.6). The prevalence of serotype 1 antibodies was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of serotype 21 in every region of the State, except in the central highlands and south-west Queensland. Overall, 3 significantly (P < 0.05) different zones of prevalence were found: high prevalence (> 20%) in far north Queensland, moderate (5 to 20%) in north-west, northern and southern coastal Queensland, and low (< 5%) in the central highlands, Darling Downs and south-west Queensland.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 were produced and characterized. Three Mabs directed against surface polysaccharides were selected. One of the Mabs was directed against a capsular polysaccharide epitope (CPS) of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 whereas two other Mabs reacted with different epitopes of the LPS O-chain. One of the latter reacted with the reference strain of serotype 7 and the other one with serotypes 7 and 4. These three Mabs were used to test, by Dot-ELISA, 508 field strains of A. pleuropneumoniae. None of the strains belonging to other serotypes different from serotypes 4 and 7 were positive with the Mabs. Used in combination, the CPS and one of the LPS O-chain directed Mabs were shown to be suitable for serotyping since they detected 100% of serotype 7 strains. In this study, we confirm for the first time that A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 is present in North America. Finally, both O-chain specific Mabs also reacted with the O-chain of Actinobacillus lignieresii. The cross-reactivity between the two species was confirmed using sera from pigs experimentally infected with A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 and A. lignieresii, using immunoblotting and ELISA. This is the first report of a specific cross-reactivity between the LPS of these bacterial species.  相似文献

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted from three Bacteroides nodosus isolates by the aqueous phenol method and purified by ultracentrifugation. The structure of B nodosus LPS appears to be similar to enterobacterial LPS, with the polysaccharide component joined to the lipid A moiety through an acid-labile 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid (KDO) linkage. B nodosus LPS contained glucose, galactose, hexosamine, KDO and heptose and no sugars apart from ribose, which was possibly a nucleic acid contaminant, were unique to any of the isolates. Electron microscopic examination indicated a similar morphology to LPS derived from other Gram-negative bacteria. B nodosus LPS was found to exhibit biological properties characteristic of endotoxins, such as pyrogenicity, leucopenic and leucocytotic activity, production of the primary inflammatory response in rabbit skin and Shwartzman reactivity. However, the toxicity of B nodosus LPS was low.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against both Pasteurella haemolytica A1 capsule and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were produced. Anti-capsule mAb reacted with the homologous A1 serotype only, whereas mAb against LPS reacted with P. haemolytica serotypes A2, A5, A8, A12, A14 and A16 but not with 33 bacterial species or rough LPS mutant strains tested. Both capsule and LPS antigens were visualised on the surface of bacteria by immunogold electron microscopy. Neither of the mAbs demonstrated antibody-dependent complement-mediated killing in vitro but both facilitated phagocytosis in vitro.  相似文献

Sera from calves immunized with Yersinia enterocolitica serotypes O:9 or O:16 were tested by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations from Brucella abortus or Y. enterocolitica O:9 or O:16 for their antibody content of the IgG1 or IgG2 subclasses. High IgG1 responses were present with the three antigens in both groups although some individual variations between animals were noted. The IgG2 responses were modest and in some cases not above background 'noise'. Thus IgG2 antibody was not measurable in sera from serotype O:9 injected calves when using serotype O:16 LPS or in serotype O:16 injected calves when using B. abortus or serotype O:9 LPSs. A competitive ELISA using B. abortus O-polysaccharide and a monoclonal antibody to B. abortus LPS (initially designed to differentiate the antibody responses of cattle naturally infected with B. abortus from those vaccinated with strain 19) was used on sera from both groups of calves. Using this test, no antibody was detected in the group immunized with serotype O:16 and except for one animal in the serotype O:9 immunized group, only low levels of antibody were transiently in evidence. One animal in this group responded with quite high levels of competing antibody which, however, declined towards the end of the test period. The competitive ELISA may prove a useful serological tool for differentiating vaccinal and field infection titers to B. abortus and also to eliminate cross-reactions observed with Y. enterocolitica serotypes.  相似文献

A high molecular-mass proteolytic enzyme of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1, was purified from culture supernatants (CSN) by using DEAE-cellulose and sepharose-4B-gelatin chromatography. In 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels copolymerized with porcine gelatin, the protease showed a single band of activity of > 200 kDa. However, minor molecular-mass proteolytic bands were observed when the protease was electrophoresed in the presence of either 5% beta-mercaptoethanol, 50 mM dithiothreitol, or 0.25 M urea. Furthermore, when the > 200-kDa purified protein was passed through a sucrose gradient, several bands with proteolytic activity were found: 62, 90, 190, and 540 kDa. The proteolytic activity was increased in the presence of calcium or zinc and was not affected after being heated at 90 degrees C for 5 min. Proteolytic activities were also observed in CSN from all A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes and biotypes. The purified protease hydrolyzed porcine IgA and IgG in vitro. In addition, by immunoblot the protease was recognized by serum of naturally infected pigs with serotypes 1 and 5, and by serum of pigs experimentally infected with serotypes 1, 2, 8, or 9. Serum of a pig vaccinated with CSN of a serotype 3 strain also recognized the protease, but not sera of pigs vaccinated with a bacterin (serotype 1). Proteins from CSN of all the serotypes, which were precipitated with 70% (NH4)2SO4, were recognized by a polyclonal antibody raised against the purified protease. Taken together these results indicate that an antigenic protease is produced in vivo by all the serotypes of A. pleuropneumoniae. The results indicate that proteases could have a role in the disease and in the immune response of pigs infected with A. pleuropneumoniae.  相似文献

An indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay for serological surveillance of infection of pigs with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap) serotype 5 was developed. The antigen used was prepared from Ap serotype 5b strain L20. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed that the antigen contained high molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and presumably also capsular polysaccharide (CP). The Ap serotype 5 ELISA was tested using sera from pigs experimentally infected with the 12 different Ap serotypes of biotype 1 and with sera from herds naturally infected with Ap serotypes 5, 6, 7 and 12. Cross-reactions were shown in one pig from a herd naturally infected with Ap serotype 7 and in one pig from a herd naturally infected with Ap serotype 12. The herd sensitivities of the Ap5 ELISA and a complement fixation test (CFT) were both estimated to 1.0, on the basis of serum samples from six herds naturally infected with Ap serotype 5. The herd specificities of both tests were estimated to 0.98, based on serum samples from 123 pig herds (10 samples from each herd) from the Danish specific pathogen-free (SPF) programme for pig production.  相似文献

Capsular serotypes of Corynebacterium equi.   总被引：11，自引：4，他引：7       下载免费PDF全文
Antisera were prepared against 26 isolates of Corynebacterium equi. A capsular antigen preparation was made by washing a heavy suspension of individual C. equi isolates in saline overnight. Ninety-seven isolates from a variety of sources were tested by a double diffusion immunoprecipitin test and seven capsular serotypes identified. The majority of isolates belonged to capsular serotype 1 (59.8%) and 2 (25.8%). No clear relationship was established between capsular serotype and the source of origin of the isolates (disease processes in horses, pigs, man, cattle, dogs or cats).  相似文献

Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), lMAb-1 and lMAb-5, against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 were obtained. In enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-inhibition tests with whole cell antigens obtained from serotype 1 to 12 strains of A. pleuropneumoniae, lMAb-1 reacted to only a serotype 1, strain 4074. The epitope recognized by lMAb-1 was a carbohydrate sensitive to periodate oxidation and resided on capsular polysaccharide (CP) of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1. On the other hand, lMAb-5 reacted with serotype 1, 9 and 11 strains at the same degree and its epitope was found to be located on O-polysaccharide of serotype 1, 9 or 11 lipopolysaccharide (LPS). These results showed that CP was one of the serotype-specific antigens of A. pleuropneumoniae, and that O-polysaccharide of LPS obtained from serotype 1, 9 or 11 strain was the cross-reacting antigen among these strains.  相似文献

Serological tests such as agglutination, coagglutination, precipitation and indirect haemagglutination were used to study the antigenic relationship of reference and field strains of Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) pleuropneumoniae of serotype 6 with reference strains of other serotypes. Both cell-associated particulate and cell-free soluble antigens prepared from unheated and heat-treated bacterial suspensions of reference and field strains of serotype 6 were used in the studies. Species-specific, common antigenic determinants associated mainly with heat-treated particulate antigens of serotype 6 were cross-reactive in tube agglutination tests with almost all the serotypes. The species-specific antigens were of a minor nature because the cross-reactivities were abolished in both 2-mercaptoethanol agglutination and coagglutination tests. Cell-free saline extracts of both unheated and heat-treated suspensions of serotype 6 strains possessed epitopes specific for serotypes 3, 5 and 8 in addition to their own specific determinants. The epitopes were dominant because the reactions of strains of serotype 6 with antisera against serotypes 3, 5 and 8 persisted in almost all the serological tests used. Serotype 6 strains were antigenically closer to serotype 8 than to serotypes 3 or 5. A combination of serological tests such as coagglutination followed by 2-mercaptoethanol tube agglutination and, or, immunodiffusion tests differentiated serotype 6 strains from those of other cross-reacting serotypes.  相似文献

The objective was to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for simultaneous detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap) serotypes 2, 6 and 12. The assay was designated MIX-ELISA. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Ap serotypes 2, 6 and 12 was purified using hot phenol-water extraction followed by fractionation by size-exclusion chromatography. A mixture of fractions containing molecules with molecular weight above 50 kDa from all three serotypes was used as antigen. The MIX-ELISA was evaluated with sera from pigs experimentally infected with the serotypes 1, 2, 5b, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 of Ap biotype 1. In addition to reaction with sera from pigs inoculated with Ap serotypes 2, 6 and 12, reaction was observed with sera from pigs inoculated with serotype 8. Furthermore, the sensitivity and specificity of the test on a herd level were evaluated with sera from herds naturally infected with serotypes 2, 6 or 12 and with sera from herds free of infection with any Ap serotype of biotype 1. The ELISA showed a high herd sensitivity (0.98; 95% confidence interval: 0.89-1.00) and specificity (0.95; 0.88-0.99). The high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the assay indicate that screening of herds for Ap infection can be performed using this ELISA. Efficient serological surveillance can be achieved by using such mixed antigen ELISAs coated with size-selected LPS-antigens from the most prevalent serotypes.  相似文献

Thirty-two bovine field isolates of bluetongue virus (BTV), 6 field isolates of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) from deer, 4 BTV prototype serotypes (10, 11, 13, and 17), and 2 EHDV prototype serotypes (1 and 2) were coelectrophoresed, using polyacrylamide gels. Field isolates were obtained from various regions of the United States. Analysis of polyacrylamide gels and scattered plots generated for comparison of migration patterns for different isolates within each serotype of BTV revealed wide variation among the individual segments. The BTV serotypes 10 and 11 had more variation, compared with BTV serotypes 13 and 17, especially for migration of genome segment 5. A definitive correlation was not seen between the double-stranded RNA migration profiles on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, geographic origin, herd of origin, or year of collection. One BTV field isolate contained more than 1 electropherotype, with 2 bands at the segment-7 position, and it was further characterized as BTV serotype 11. Segments 2 and 5 of EHDV isolates were more variable in their migration than were the other gene segments. Generally, migration profiles for EHDV double-stranded RNA were more variable, compared with those of BTV isolates. Although a correlation was found between migration profiles and serotype of 2 isolates of EHDV, a study of additional EHDV isolates is required before the diversity of electrophoretic patterns of EHDV can be determined.  相似文献

Genome segment 10 of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 11 UC8 strain was cloned and subsequently hybridized to viral double-stranded RNA extracted from 90 field isolates of BTV serotypes 10, 11, 13, and 17; the prototype strains of BTV 2, 10, 11, 13, and 17; the prototype strain epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotype 1; and 4 field isolates of EHDV serotype 2. The 90 field isolates were obtained from different counties in California, Louisiana, and Idaho during the years 1979, 1980, and 1981. The cloned genetic probe hybridized with all the BTV samples tested, showing different degrees of cross-hybridization at the stringency conditions used in this study. This indicated that BTV genome segment 10 has conserved nucleotide sequences among the BTV serotypes 2, 10, 11, 13, and 17. No cross-hybridization signals were detected between the cloned genome segment 10 of BTV 11 UC8 strain and the prototype strain of EHDV serotype 1 and the field isolates of serotype 2. This probe recognized a wide variety of BTV isolates.  相似文献

Four hundred and forty-three Dutch field isolates of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae were serotyped by rapid slide agglutination (RSA) using specific antisera against serotypes 1 to 5 and against the recently proposed types 6 to 9. The predominant serotypes were 9 (49%) and 2 (32%). Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 were isolated in small numbers: together they accounted for 3% of the total. Five percent of the isolates were not typable either due to autoagglutination or because they were not agglutinated by any of the available antisera. The remaining 49 strains (11%) agglutinated in more than one antiserum and could therefore not be properly classified. Forty-four of these 49 strains agglutinated in both anti type 1 and anti type 9 serum. Antigenic relationships between serotype 1, serotype 9 and isolates reacting with both antisera were studied using immunodiffusion and RSA with adsorbed sera. Serotype 9 strains appeared not to be a homogenous group. Isolates agglutinating exclusively in anti type 9 serum can be divided into two groups: one closely related and another hardly related to serotype 1. Serotype 9 reference strain 13261 belongs to the latter. Type 1 + 9 strains have antigens in common with serotypes 1 and 9, but they also have their own specific antigenic material. Such strains are proposed as a new serotype 10.  相似文献
