Chicks which had been inoculated with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at 1 day of age had a severe depression of bursa-dependent humoral immune functions by day 42. Antibody responses against rabbit red blood cells or to immunization with bovine serum albumin were significantly suppressed. In contrast, chicks inoculated with IBDV at 21 days of age produced near normal antibody responses as compared with the responses in noninfected control chicks. The IBDV had no significant effect on the thymus-dependent cellular responses as measured by skin graft rejection or delayed type hypersensitivity reactions to tuberculin.  相似文献

Studies with specific-pathogen-free chickens revealed that chicks hatching from eggs inoculated at the 18th day of embryonation with infectious bursal disease (IBD) vaccine viruses of low virulence (isolates TC-IBDV and BVM-IBDV) developed antibody against IBD virus (IBDV) and resisted challenge with virulent IBDV at 3 weeks of age or older. Embryo vaccination did not adversely affect hatchability of chicks or survival of hatched chicks. Chicks embryonally vaccinated with TC-IBDV had transient histologic lesions in the bursa of Fabricius at hatch. Similar but milder lesions were also noted in chickens that received TC-IBDV at hatch. The level of protection following embryo vaccination with TC-IBDV and BVM-IBDV was similar to that following vaccination with the same vaccines at hatch. Vaccine viruses of moderate virulence (isolates BV-IBDV and 2512-IBDV) were not suitable as vaccines in embryos lacking maternal antibody to IBDV, because the vaccinated chicks developed acute IBD after hatch. Isolate 2512-IBDV was not pathogenic for embryos bearing maternal antibody to IBDV. Maternal antibody against IBDV interfered with efficacy of embryo vaccination with BVM-IBDV but not with 2512-IBDV. Embryo vaccination with a mixture of vaccines against IBD and Marek's disease resulted in protection of hatched chicks against challenge with virulent IBDV and Marek's disease virus.  相似文献

Specific-pathogen-free white leghorn chicks concomitantly infected with both infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and reovirus (WVU-2937) on day 1 had significantly lower (P less than 0.05) virus-neutralizing- and precipitating-antibody geometric mean titers (GMT) to reovirus than chicks infected with only reovirus on day 1 but had a similar incidence of inflammation of the metatarsal digital flexor tendons. Chicks infected with IBDV on day 7 and reovirus on day 14 had a greater incidence of inflammation of the tarsometatarsal digital flexor tendons and lower neutralizing- and precipitating-antibody GMT to reovirus than chicks infected with only reovirus on day 14. Chicks infected with both viruses on day 1 had a significantly lower (P less than 0.05) neutralizing-antibody GMT to IBDV than chicks infected with only IBDV.  相似文献

The immunosuppressive effect of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) on vaccination against Newcastle disease (ND) was compared among 2-, 3-, and 4-week-old chickens inoculated with the highly virulent IBDV field isolate 90-11 and the reference serotype 1 strain GBF-1. In all age groups, isolate 90-11 severely suppressed antibody response to ND vaccination and protective vaccinal immunity against ND. In contrast, chickens inoculated with strain GBF-1 and vaccinated with ND vaccine were well protected from the ND virus challenge. The mitogenic response to phytohemagglutinin of splenic lymphocytes from chickens inoculated with isolate 90-11 or strain GBF-1 was significantly lower than that of uninoculated controls. There was no difference between the two inoculated groups in responsiveness, although lymphocyte depletion in the thymus was more severe in chickens inoculated with isolate 90-11 than in chickens inoculated with strain GBF-1.  相似文献

The effect of serotype II infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolates from turkeys on the homoral immune response of turkey poults was determined. Following exposure to the OH IBDV isolate, poults in two experiments were inoculated with sheep red blood cells, which is a T-dependent antigen, and poults in two other experiments were inoculated with Salmonella heidelberg O antigen, which is a T-independent antigen. Prior exposure to serotype II IBDV did not affect serum antibody titers to these antigens. IBDV infection also did not affect the concentrations of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgG, or IgA in these poults. Bursa:body weight ratios of OH IBDV-infected poults were not significantly different from those of uninfected controls. In one experiment, the humoral immune response of poults to the LaSota Newcastle disease vaccine was not affected by infection with the MO IBDV isolate. Although no clinical infectious bursal disease was observed in any poult in these experiments, the serotype II IBDV isolates were infectious and transmissible in poults.  相似文献

Chicken anaemia virus (CAV) infectivity and the effect of highly virulent infectious bursal disease virus (hv IBDV) infection on CAV's infectivity were examined in chickens inoculated with CAV or inoculated dually with CAV and hv IBDV. Five chickens inoculated dually with hv IBDV at 35 days old and then with CAV at 40 days old exhibited no clinical signs of disease, but showed atrophic bursae of Fabricius when necropsied 4 weeks later. Upon examining the chickens at 7 days postinoculation (dpi) with CAV, it was found that hv IBDV infection had inhibited production of virus neutralising (VN) antibody to CAV, and that it was possible to recover CAV from plasma of these chickens. Although VN antibody to CAV appeared after 14 dpi, CAV was recovered from blood cells (BC s) at high titres ranging from 10(2.5)to 10(5.5)TCID(50)/0.1 ml, 7 to 28 dpi in IBDV -induced immunosuppressed chickens. In addition, CAV was sporadically recovered, using rectal swabs, from the dually inoculated chickens at low titers, ranging from 10(1.0)to 10(2. 0)TCID(50)/0.1 ml). In contrast, although CAV was recovered from BC s in most of the chickens inoculated with CAV alone, the titers were lower (10(1.0)to 10(2.5)TCID(50)/0.1 ml). No CAV was detected from the rectal swabs of these chickens. The results of virus recovery were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. This study first examined the persistency of CAV in BC s and the effective enhancement of primary CAV infection as a result of immunosuppression caused by hv IBDV infection.  相似文献

Reovirus 81-176 was inoculated subcutaneously into day-old specific-pathogen-free leghorns and evaluated for its effects on the immune system over a 3-week period. Structural criteria included organ weights of the bursa of Fabricius (BF) and spleen (SP), scoring of histological lesions in the BF, SP, and thymus, and hematological analyses of the circulating leukocytes. Alterations in the functional capacity of the immune system were measured using the graft-versus-host reaction, the response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) to mitogens, the ability of circulating monocytes to phagocytize latex beads, and the serological responses to Newcastle disease virus, sheep red blood cells, and Brucella abortus antigens. For comparison, infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was similarly evaluated by most of the same tests. Structurally, reovirus 81-176 altered BF and SP organ weights, the total numbers of white blood cells in circulation, and the degree of follicular atrophy in the BF. Functionally, reovirus inoculation reduced both the response of PBLs to the phytohemagglutinin-P stimulation and monocyte uptake of latex beads. According to the protocols used here, no significant alteration in B-cell function could be detected in reovirus-infected chicks. With the exception of leukocyte hematology, IBDV-infected chicks had significantly altered responses in all tests used. By way of comparison, the effects of IBDV were more persistent and pronounced than were those seen with reovirus. The graft-versus-host reaction indicated an elevated and/or uninhibited response of T-cells in the blood of IBDV-infected chicks.  相似文献

Primary and secondary immune responses to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was evaluated in chickens infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at one and 28 days of age. The geometric mean primary hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titers (GMT) of chickens infected with IBDV at one day of age was significantly lower (P less than or equal to 0.01) than those infected at 28 days of age. Infection with IBDV had no influence on secondary immune response to NDV. The effect of IBDV infection at one day of age on the cell-mediated immunity of chickens was evaluated by skin allograft acceptance or survival time. There was no significant difference between the percentage of grafts accepted in IBDV infected and noninfected control chickens. However, the mean graft survival time in the IBDV infected chickens was significantly longer (P less than or equal to 0.05) than those in the control group. This suggested a suppression of cell-mediated immunity due to IBDV infection.  相似文献

Maternal antibody and its effect on infectious bursal disease immunization   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Chickens vaccinated with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) early in life and revaccinated with an inactivated, oil-adjuvant IBDV vaccine at 18 weeks of age produced and maintained high levels of virus-neutralizing (VN) antibody through 10 months of lay. VN-antibody titers of chicks hatched from eggs laid during the same period closely matched the average VN-antibody titers of the dams. A sequential study of the decline rates of IBDV maternal antibody (MAB) in unvaccinated and IBDV-vaccinated chicks showed that the vaccine virus did not accelerate the antibody depletion rate in vaccinated chicks. Chicks carrying high IBDV MAB showed no active immune response to vaccination with commercial IBDV vaccines. They were also refractory to a pathogenic field isolate of IBDV (FV). However, chicks with low levels of MAB responded to both vaccine virus and the FV, although their response to vaccine virus was milder and delayed.  相似文献

To determine the functional impact of alterations in lymphocyte concentrations and ratios following infection with chicken anemia agent (CAA) alone or in combination with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) on the immune system of young chickens, in vitro lymphoproliferation assays and in vivo responses to vaccination with several common viral agents were assessed at various time intervals post-inoculation (PI). Concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) stimulation of splenic lymphocytes (SPL) collected from control birds could not be detected until 10-14 days PI. Infection with CAA was characterized by significantly higher PWM stimulation of SPL at 17 days PI and significantly lower PWM stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) at 14 days PI, compared with uninfected controls. Concanavalin A and PWM stimulation of SPL was significantly increased in birds inoculated with IBDV alone. Lymphocytes harvested from birds inoculated simultaneously with CAA and IBDV had significantly lower responses. Effects on humoral and cell-mediated immunity following CAA and/or IBDV were determined by evaluating vaccination responses to Newcastle disease virus (NDV), fowl pox virus (FPV) and infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) during the acute phase of CAA infection (2 weeks PI). Vaccination of birds 2 weeks following CAA infection at 1 day of age resulted in decreased protection against NDV (85.7%) and ILTV (7.1%) challenge compared with protection rates in control birds (100% and 53.3% respectively). Infectious bursal disease virus infection was associated with decreased protection against NDV (60%) only. Concomitant infection at 1 day of age resulted in a greater reduction in NDV challenge protection (33.3%), slightly decreased FPV protection (87.5%), increased numbers of persistent FPV vaccination lesions and increased protection against ILTV challenge (71.4%). Vaccination of birds 2 weeks following CAA infection at 2 weeks of age resulted in slightly decreased NDV humoral antibody, development of persistent FPV vaccination lesions (17%) and increased immunity to ILTV challenge compared with control birds (83.3% vs. 66.7%). Chickens inoculated with IBDV alone displayed a more severe depression in NDV antibody titers and only a slight decrease in ILTV protection. Vaccination following concomitant infection at 2 weeks of age resulted in a higher percentage of FPV persistent vaccination lesions (39%) and greatly enhanced immunity to ILTV challenge (100%).  相似文献

Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens were inoculated with several different concentrations of chicken anemia agent (CAA) by the intra-abdominal, intratracheal, or oral routes. Based on lowered hematocrit values, the birds were most susceptible to CAA introduced by the intra-abdominal route. When SPF chickens were infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at 1 day of age, they remained susceptible to CAA up to at least 21 days, whereas birds inoculated with CAA alone were susceptible only at 1 day of age. Infectious bursal disease virus introduced at 1 day of age also increased the susceptibility of birds to contact infection with CAA and resulted in increased mortality rates in CAA inoculates. The response of SPF birds to CAA infection varied following exposure at 1 day of age to two different strains of IBDV (STC and Variant-E). Chicken anemia agent contacts and inoculates infected with the Variant-E strain were affected 1 week earlier by CAA than by STC inoculates, as evidenced by depressed hematocrits. However, the total number of birds affected was similar for both the Variant-E and STC-inoculated chickens. Commercial broiler chickens inoculated at 1, 7, 10, and 14 days of age by non-parenteral routes with CAA or a combination of CAA and IBDV had mean hematocrits that were lower than controls. Several CAA-inoculated birds were considered anemic, with hematocrit values of 25 or less, while uninoculated birds remained within normal ranges.  相似文献

Several avian reoviruses were screened to determine their effects on the immune system by inoculating them subcutaneously (SQ) into day-old chicks. For comparison, infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was similarly evaluated. The response of the immune system was measured functionally by the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and structurally by changes in the organ-to-body-weight ratios of the bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen. When inoculated SQ, most of the reoviruses caused transient alterations in lymphoid organ weights, decreasing the bursa weight and increasing the spleen weight. Of those reoviruses tested, only one--a commercial vaccine based on the isolate S-1133--demonstrated the ability to interfere significantly with NDV-HI responses, although several had numerically lower titers. Two of the isolates were also evaluated by oral inoculation. Giving the viruses orally did not cause any alterations in organ weights; however, both isolates depressed the HI response of chicks to NDV. Compared with reoviruses, IBDV significantly depressed NDV-HI titers. The structural responses to IBDV differed, however: IBDV significantly depressed bursa weights for all 3 weeks of the test period without affecting spleen weights. Some of the reovirus isolates inoculated SQ were lethal for day-old chicks. This, and their ability to alter the lymphoid-to-body-weight ratios of the spleen and bursa, could be considered valid criteria by which to study the pathogenesis of these agents.  相似文献

Maternal antibody titers in white leghorn chicks against infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) were measured by a computer-assisted, single-serum-dilution, indirect kinetic-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (KELISA) and by a virus-neutralization (VN) test in order to predict the timing of initial vaccination. Day-old white leghorns were from unvaccinated pullets or from pullets vaccinated either four times or twice with IBDV commercial vaccines. The chicks were immunized once via the drinking water with a commercial "intermediate" live IBDV vaccine at 1, 15, or 28 days of age. Effective initial immunization was confirmed by an increase in antibody to IBDV (serologic conversion) that occurred when maternal antibody decreased to 8 and 9 on a log2 scale. This concentration of antibody was detected between 24 and 28 days of age. The computer-assisted IBDV-KELISA increased the sample processing speed for detecting IBDV antibody, and it was as sensitive as the VN test for predicting the timing of initial IBDV vaccination.  相似文献

Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) ducks that were 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, 30, and 180 days old were inoculated experimentally orally or nasally with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Attempts to induce clinical disease in ducks with strain J1 or FK-78 of IBDV were unsuccessful. Virus-recovery attempts from organ and intestinal contents were also unsuccessful. No significant gross or histopathological lesions were found in liver, spleen, kidney, heart, or bursa of Fabricius of 1- and 3-day-old ducks at 4 or 7 days postinoculation. The ratios of bursa weight to body weight of 1-, 10-, and 30-day-old inoculated and control ducks revealed no difference at 21 days postinoculation. The ducks responded serologically, however, by developing both virus-neutralizing and agar-gel-precipitin antibodies. Virus multiplied in embryonated duck eggs and duck embryo fibroblast cells but not in duck kidney cells.  相似文献

Infection of chicks with attenuated Lp and Sp clones of the RF-1 strain of infectious bursal disease virus was shown to exert no immunosuppressive effect, whereas the parent strain RF-1tc and the original virulent strain RF-1wt were immunosuppressive. One-day-old chicks infected with Lp and Sp clones showed no suppression of immunological response to live Newcastle disease vaccines B1 and TCND, and to bivalent infectious coryza vaccine. On the other hand, infection with RF-1tc or RF-1wt strains was immunosuppressive for these vaccines. The immunosuppressive effect of RF-1tc and RF-1wt strains was more pronounced for infectious coryza vaccine and B1 vaccine than for TCND vaccine. The immunosuppressive effect of RF-1tc and RF-1wt strains was lower when chicks were infected with these strains at the age of 21 days than when they were infected at one day of age.  相似文献

The immune responsiveness to infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in four native and crossbred chicken lines was compared. ELISA IBDV antibody titers in hen serum samples, yolk from matched eggs and sera from matched 1-day-old chicks from each chicken line with an identical vaccination program were measured, and plotted. There was considerable variation between lines in the measured IBDV specific antibodies, in vaccinated parent hens and in the amounts of inherited maternally derived antibodies in both yolk and progeny chicks. Differences in ratios of the inherited antibody level from hen to 1-day-old chicks were also found among different chicken lines. Breed differences in regressions of IBDV antibody levels in yolk to that of hen or progeny chicks' sera were also found, so prediction of serum titer of hen and/or progeny chicks from yolk are varied among chicken lines.  相似文献

A rapid diagnostic strip for chicken infectious bursal disease (IBD) was developed based on membrane chromatography using high-affinity monoclonal antibodies directed to chicken infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The diagnostic strip has high specificity for detection of chicken IBDV antigen and recognizes a variety of the virus isolates, including virulent and attenuated strains, with no cross-reactivity to other viruses, such as Newcastle disease virus, Marek's disease virus, infectious bronchitis virus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, and egg-drop-syndrome virus. The results showed that its specificity was highly consistent with the agar-gel precipitation test (AGP). The diagnostic strip detected as low as 800 median egg lethal dose (ELD50) viruses in the IBDV BC6/85-infected sample, which was comparable with AC-ELISA (400 ELD50) and 32 times more sensitive than the AGP test (2.56 x 10(4) ELD50). In experimental infection, IBDV was detected in the bursa as early as 36 hr postinfection with the diagnostic strip before the clinical signs and gross lesions appeared. It takes only 1-2 min to do a strip test to detect chicken IBDV antigen after the specimen is grounded in a whirl pack with finger massage.  相似文献

We examined the utility of baculovirus-expressed infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) proteins to act as antigens in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The three IBDV protein antigens tested included 1) a truncated VP2, 2) whole VP2, and 3) the polyprotein products VP2, VP3, and VP4. Serum samples from 2-wk-old commercially reared broilers were collected and tested in the three ELISAs. Serum samples were obtained from 34 different commercial broiler flocks. An average of 14 serum samples (range = 11-17) were tested for each flock. The ELISA results were compared with the percentage of protection of these birds following challenge with IBDV. Fifty 2-wk-old chicks from each of the 34 broiler flocks were challenged with STC classic virus or Del-E variant virus. At 7 days postchallenge, the bursa from each of the birds was removed and bursa/body weights were recorded. Percentage of protection was determined by the number of birds in each challenge group that had normal relative bursal weights compared with unchallenged controls. No evidence was found of a relationship between ELISA data generated with the polyprotein antigen (VP2, VP3, VP4) and percentage of protection observed in the STC and Del-E challenged birds. A significant relationship was found between ELISA data and percentage of protection to STC and Del-E when the truncated VP2 or whole VP2 antigens were used in the ELISA. The results of this study indicate that predicting the percentage of protection against classic or variant IBDV strains in broilers from vaccinated breeder flocks can be improved when VP2 is used as the only antigen in the ELISA.  相似文献
