犬瘟热病毒SH202003株全基因组序列分析

为了解上海地区犬瘟热病毒（Canine distemper virus，CDV）遗传变异情况，本研究采用首尾重叠的11对特异性引物，对CDV上海株SH202003进行RT-PCR扩增，将扩增片段进行反复测序，序列拼接后最终获得了SH202003株全基因组序列，应用Lasergene 7.0和Mega 6.0软件对全基因及H基因进行序列分析，并构建系统进化树。结果显示，SH202003株基因组全长为15 690 bp，编码6种结构蛋白（N、P、M、F、H和L），H和L基因间隔序列为CUA，L和5'端尾随序列为CAA，与Hebei株核苷酸和氨基酸相似性最高，达到98.6%和96.6%，与疫苗株核苷酸相似性在92.2%~94.3%，氨基酸相似性只有82.7%~87.0%；全基因进化树中，SH202003株与流行野毒株在同一分支，与疫苗株在不同的分支；H基因同样与Hebei株亲缘关系最近，核苷酸和氨基酸相似性分别为98.7%和99.5%，与疫苗株Snyder Hill、CDV3、Convac及Onderstepoort亲缘关系较远；SH202003株处于Asia-1型分支，属于Asia-1型强毒株；SH202003株具有9个潜在N-糖基化位点，与强毒株Hebei株一致。研究表明，上海株SH202003属于CDV强毒株，为Asia-1型，其H基因序列相对保守，具有9个潜在N-糖基化位点，但是全基因序列存在较多突变，与疫苗株的匹配度较差，可能是免疫犬依然发生犬瘟热的主要原因。     

基于H蛋白基因的犬瘟热病毒遗传变异分析

犬瘟热是犬瘟热病毒(Canine distemper virus,CDV)感染犬和其他食肉动物造成的多发性、致死性传染病,本文从分子水平上探讨CDV遗传进化特性、变异情况与流行规律之间的关系.通过收集2002-2010年在中国地区分离的14株CDV野毒株、2006-2007年在全球各地分离的12株CDV野毒株以及从不同宿主分离的12株CDV野毒株和4株疫苗株,将其分为4组,将前3组野毒株分别与国内外正在使用的4株疫苗株的H基因进行遗传变异分析.分析发现,CDV野毒株与疫苗株间H蛋白基因的核苷酸相似性为86.2％～92.1％,其氨基酸相似性为89.1％～91.9％;H基因的584位的天冬酰胺糖基化位点是Asia-Ⅰ型CDV所特有的;H蛋白3555区域的非同义氨基酸替换概率较高.作者推测H蛋白抗原变异可能造成弱毒疫苗免疫效力降低,不能为某些CDV株的感染提供完全有效的保护.     

犬瘟热病毒H基因的序列分析与表达

以临床疑似犬瘟热病犬外周血总RNA为模板,采用RT-PCR方法扩增犬瘟热病毒(CDV)血凝素(H)基因。序列测定和分析表明该病料犬瘟热病毒H基因序列与国内其他地区分离到的毒株同源性较高(94.6%~99.2%),而与Onderstepoort株、Convac株等疫苗毒株的同源性较低(90.4%~91.2%)。分子遗传进化分析显示所有毒株可分为7个大的分支,且各分支间具有一定的地域性,其中待检病料中CDV与大多数中国分离株一样处于Ⅰ型。进一步以H全基因为模板,截短表达其3′端816 bp、459 bp两个片段,并克隆入原核表达载体pET30 a进行表达。结果显示它们分别能表达大小约为36.4 ku和22.2 ku的融合蛋白。免疫转印表明该纯化蛋白均可与犬瘟热病毒抗血清发生阳性反应,说明重组蛋白具备抗原性,可用于进一步的血清学研究。     

Nucleotide sequence analysis of nucleocapsid protein gene of canine distemper virus isolates in Thailand

The C-terminal part of the nucleocapsid protein gene of 13 canine distemper virus (CDV) isolates from Thailand, were analyzed. The nucleotide sequences were assigned to two clusters; cluster A exhibited a high degree of homology with the vaccine strain Onderstepoort, 99.10 and 97.61%, respectively, in the two isolates examined. Cluster B appeared closely related to virulent strains registered in the GeneBank database and to the virulent reference strain (A75/17); a total of 11 samples were analyzed, with 94.63-99.10% homology at the same position. The deduced amino acid sequences correlated with the two-nucleotide sequence clusters. However, there was no association among the CDV groups with histories of vaccination, sex, ages, clinical findings and evidence of viral antigen in tissues.     

Analysis of the H gene, the central untranslated region and the proximal coding part of the F gene of wild-type and vaccine canine distemper viruses.

This paper summarizes the results of the genetic analysis of several parts of the genome of canine distemper virus (CDV) field isolates and vaccine viruses. The haemagglutinin (H) gene analysis showed that recent viruses did not differ significantly from vaccine strains. The analysis of the long untranslated region between the matrix (M) and fusion (F) gene revealed distinct genetic heterogeneity. The putative F protein start codon AUG461 of vaccine strain Onderstepoort was found to be mutated in all wild-type isolates and in another vaccine strain. The proximal coding part of the F gene was well conserved. Phylogenetic analysis of this segment showed the presence of several cocirculating CDV genotypes.     

Phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin (H) gene of canine distemper viruses isolated from wild masked palm civets (Paguma larvata)

Hemagglutinin (H) gene of two CDV isolates, the Haku93 and Haku00 strains, from masked palm civets was molecularly analyzed. H genes of both two CDVs contained one open reading frame encoding 607 amino acids. Nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences of H gene of the CDV Haku93 and Haku00 revealed high similarity to those of recent field isolates such as the Yanaka and Tanu96, while they showed limited identity to those of old vaccine strains. Potential N-linked glycosylation sites in both Haku93 and Haku00 were identical to other recent CDV isolates. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the CDV strains derived from masked palm civets were classified into the group of recent Japanese CDV isolates.     

小熊猫源犬瘟热病毒株H、F基因的克隆及序列分析

为了解1株圈养小熊猫源犬瘟热病毒（CDV）GD-1的遗传变异情况,通过RT-PCR方法对该株CDV进行H、F基因的克隆、测序及序列分析。结果显示：该分离株的H基因序列与GenBank中丹麦报道的登录号为GU266280的犬源CDV毒株的核苷酸序列相似性最高,为96%;F基因序列与巴西报道的登录号为KY057355的犬源CDV的核苷酸序列相似性最高,为95.7%。下载CDV代表毒株序列进行遗传演化、氨基酸序列比对及分子特征分析。结果显示：H蛋白共有8个潜在的N-糖基化位点,分别位于19、149、309、391、422、456、587、603位点;H蛋白的SLAM受体结合位点氨基酸序列与欧亚野生型毒株一致,与疫苗株相比,530、549位氨基酸不同,与其他CDV参考毒株H蛋白相比还存在24、41等9处氨基酸位点发生明显变异,与标准强毒株A75/17的氨基酸相似性为95.2%,与Onderstepoort、Convac等5株疫苗株的氨基酸序列相似性为88.2%~89.3%;F蛋白共有6个N-糖基化位点,分别位于62、108、141、173、179、517位,与Onderstepoort等疫苗株氨基酸相似性为89.1%~89.7%;与其他参考毒株相比还存在115、130等11处氨基酸发生变异;构建基于H、F基因的遗传进化树,结果显示：该毒株位于Asia-4型的一个小的进化分支,这与目前我国流行毒株主要位于Asia-1型存在明显不同。本研究首次报道了小熊猫源的Asia-4基因型CDV野毒株,并对毒株的H及F基因进行了序列分析,对于了解我国CDV流行株的遗传变异情况、流行病学调查、疾病防控及疫苗研发等具有重要意义。     

Antigenic differences in the H proteins of canine distemper viruses

Antigenic properties between new Japanese field isolates and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus (CDV) have been compared using four monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (JD-5, JD-7, JD-11 and d-7) against the hemagglutinin (H) proteins of CDV. JD-5, JD-7 and JD-11 are newly established antibodies. Three MAbs, namely d-7, JD-5 and JD-11, reacted similarly to all the CDV strains examined. However, JD-7 reacted much more strongly with the vaccine strains and an old field isolate than the recent field isolates in immunofluorescence, radio immunoprecipitation and virus neutralization assays. These results indicate that an antigenic region in the H protein, concerned with neutralization and recognized by JD-7, has been altered in the recent field isolates.     

检测和鉴别犬瘟热病毒强、弱毒株的复合反转录-套式聚合酶链式反应(RT-nPCR)的建立及初步应用

根据GenBank上登录的犬瘟热病毒（Canine distemper virus，CDV）基因组全序列，选择CDV强、弱毒株间有区别保守区设计了一对通用引物P1和P4，并在该对引物跨越区域的内部设计了CDV强毒株特异性引物P2及弱毒株特异性引物P3，用引物P1／P4进行RT—PCR，然后用引物P2／P3／P4进行复合套式PCR，建立了一种能区分CDV强、弱毒株的复合反转录-套式聚合酶链式反应（RT—nPCR）的鉴别诊断方法。应用该方法从CDV强、弱毒株的基因组中分别扩增出了大小为247bp和177bp的特异性片段，从两种病毒基因组混合物中扩增出了大小为247bp和177bp的两条特异性片段，与犬细小病毒、犬腺病毒、犬冠状病毒、狂犬病病毒、新城疫病毒的细胞培养物以及正常细胞对照组进行复合RT—nPCR扩增时均为阴性。对从黑龙江省和吉林省采集的20份疑似CDV病料进行的检测结果表明，有15份类似CDV强毒，5份类似CDV弱毒。本研究建立的复合RT—nPCR可以有效检测CDV感染，能够将强、弱毒株区分开，可用于临床快速检测、流行病学监测以及追踪疫苗免疫效果等。     

Nucleotide sequence and genetic analysis of the leader region of Canadian, American and European equine arteritis virus isolates.

The extreme 5' end, the entire leader sequence of the Arvac vaccine strain, and 10 equine arteritis virus (EAV) isolates, including the ATCC Bucyrus reference strain and 5 Canadian field isolates, were determined and compared at the primary nucleotide and secondary structure levels. The leader sequence of eight EAV isolates, including the Bucyrus reference strain, and the leader sequence of the Arvac vaccine strain was determined to be 206 nt in length (not including the putative 5' cap structure-associated nucleotide) whereas those of the 86AB-A1 and 86NY-A1 isolates were found to be 205 and 207 nt in length, respectively. The sequence identity of the leader sequences, between the different isolates and the Bucyrus reference strain, ranged from 94.2 to 98.5%. Phylogenetic analysis and estimation of genetic distances, based on the leader nucleic acid sequences, showed that all EAV isolates/strains are likely to represent a large phylogenetically-related group. An AUG start codon found at position 14 in all EAV isolates/strains could initiate an open reading frame (ORF) that could produce a polypeptide of 37 amino acids, except for the 86NY-A1 isolate where the intraleader polypeptide would contain 54 amino acids. Computer-predicted RNA secondary structures were identified in the 11 EAV leader regions analyzed. All EAV isolates/strains showed 3 conserved stem-loops (designated A, B and C). An additional conserved stem-loop (D) was observed in 7 EAV isolates, including the Bucyrus reference strain. The leader region distal to stem-loop D did not contain conserved sequences or stem-loop structures common to the EAV isolates/strains.     

犬瘟热病毒野毒株与疫苗株鉴别检测RT-LAMP方法的建立

为建立一种鉴别犬瘟热病毒(CDV)野毒株与疫苗株的反转录-环介导等温扩增方法(RT-LAMP),本研究通过比对野毒株与疫苗株H基因设计特异性引物,对反应体系中的Mg2+、Betaine、Bst DNA Polymerase、dNTP和反应温度等条件分别进行优化,建立用于鉴别检测CDV野毒株与疫苗株的RT-LAMP。建立的RT-LAMP方法检测CDV野毒株时,在65℃水浴锅中反应40 min即可完成。该方法具有高度特异性,对犬细小病毒、犬腺病毒、狂犬病毒、犬冠状病毒无交叉反应,敏感度可达40 copies/μL,是常规RT-PCR方法的100倍。     

Phylogenetic characterization of canine distemper virus isolates from naturally infected dogs and a marten in Korea

We sequenced the hemagglutinin (H) genes from four canine distemper virus (CDV) isolates obtained from three dogs and a marten in Korea. These sequences were included in subsequent H gene-focused phylogenetic tree analysis of 89 CDV strains. This analysis revealed eight clades designated as EU1, EU2, EU3, NA1, NA2, Asia 1, Asia 2 and Vaccine. Three of the Korean isolates (97Jindo, 98Marten and 07D111) occurred in the Asia 2 group that also contains many Japanese CDV strains isolated in 1998. The remaining Korean strain (07Q72) fell into the Asia 1 group. The 21 H protein sequences of 25 Asia 1 strains are generally predicted to bear nine potential N-linked glycosylation sites. In contrast, the 9 H protein sequences of 12 Asia 2 strains had eight potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The remaining strains had six (98Marten and 07D111) and seven (97Jindo) potential N-linked glycosylation sites.     

区分犬瘟热病毒Asia-Ⅰ型野毒株及疫苗株的AS-PCR方法

犬瘟热是一种接触性传染病,可侵害免疫系统、呼吸系统、消化系统,甚至神经系统,导致全身性的病理变化,对宠物犬、毛皮动物等存在巨大威胁。目前常用的胶体金检测法不能有效区分疫苗免疫与动物自然感染。为建立一种高效准确的鉴别犬瘟热病毒野毒株和疫苗株的检测方法,本试验对从武汉地区收集已确诊犬瘟热的6只犬分离得到的野毒株以及3株广泛使用的CDV疫苗株进行全基因组测序,从氨基酸水平和碱基水平比对分析后,确定H基因为AS-PCR引物设计的靶基因。通过对H基因进行分型,发现武汉地区流行的CDV均为Asia-Ⅰ型,而疫苗株Y2为America-I型,疫苗株Y1和Y3均为America-Ⅱ型。对比179株Asia-Ⅰ型（6株野毒株样品+173株GenBank Asia-Ⅰ型）与3株疫苗株的CDV-H基因序列,采用AS-PCR技术（3'端错配）设计出1对能有效区分犬瘟热Asia-Ⅰ型野毒株和疫苗株的特异性引物,上游引物序列为5'-TTAAATGATAATGACATAGTG-3',下游引物序列为5'-CCTGGCAAGGCAAGA-3'。结果显示该引物有较强的特异性,6株样品野毒株均可扩增出长894 bp的片段,疫苗株不能扩增,且野毒株的H基因上存在9个较为规律的碱基（氨基酸）变异位点,而疫苗株在第277位氨基酸上均为天冬酰胺,这些变异可能导致N-糖基化位点的增加,从而对犬瘟热病毒疫苗株的毒力产生影响。本研究建立的AS-PCR方法能有效区分犬瘟热疫苗和Asia-Ⅰ型野毒株。     

The Establishment of AS-PCR Method to Distinguish Canine Distemper Asia-I Type Wild Strains and Vaccine Strains

Canine distemper (CD) is a contagious disease, which can damage the immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, and even nervous system, leading to systemic pathological changes, and has a huge threat to pet dogs, fur animals, etc. At present, the commonly used colloidal gold test cannot effectively distinguish vaccine immunity from animal natural infection. To establish an efficient and accurate detection method for identifying wild strains and vaccine strains of canine distemper virus(CDV), the whole genome of six canine distemper wild strains isolated from dogs and three widely used CDV vaccine strains collected from Wuhan area were sequenced. After comparing and analyzing the amino acid and the base sequences, the H gene was determined as the target gene for AS-PCR primer design. By genotyping the H gene, it was found that the prevalent CDVs in Wuhan were all Asia-Ⅰ, while the vaccine strain Y2 was America-I, and the vaccine strains Y1 and Y3 were both America-Ⅱ. Comparing the CDV-H gene sequences of 179 Asia-Ⅰtypes (6 wild-type strain samples + 173 GenBank Asia-Ⅰtype stains) and 3 vaccine strains, using AS-PCR technology (3'mismatch) to design a pair of primers. It can effectively distinguish CDV Asia-I wild strain and vaccine strain. The upstream primer sequence is 5'-TTAATATAATAATGACAGTG-3', and the downstream primer sequence is 5'-CCTCAAGGGGCACA-3'. The results showed that the primer had a strong specificity and the wild strains could amplify an 894 bp fragment, while the vaccine strains could not. There are 9 more regular bases (amino acids) variation sites in H gene of wild strain, and the 277th amino acids of all vaccine strains are Asparagine. These mutations may lead to an increase in N-glycosylation sites, which will have an impact on the virulence of canine distemper virus vaccine strains. The AS-PCR method established in this study can effectively distinguish the canine distemper vaccine and Asia-Ⅰwild strains.     

Phylogenetic analysis of the haemagglutinin gene of canine distemper virus strains detected from breeding foxes,raccoon dogs and minks in China

Canine distemper virus (CDV) infects a variety of carnivores, including wild and domestic Canidae. Genetic/antigenic heterogeneity has been observed among the various CDV strains, notably in the haemagglutinin (H) gene, that appears as a good target to gather epidemiological information. Based on sequence analysis of the H gene, wild-type CDV strains cluster into distinct geographic lineages (genotypes), irrespective of the species of isolation. The sequence of the H gene of 28 CDV strains detected from both vaccinated and non-vaccinated breeding foxes, raccoon dogs and minks from different geographical areas of China during the years 2004–2008 was determined. All the CDV strains but two (strains HL and HLJ2) were characterized as Asia-1 genotype and were highly similar to each other (96.2–99.7% at the amino acid [aa] level) and to other Asia-1 strains (96.1–99.5% aa) previously detected in China. The CDV strains HL and HLJ2 were both collected from foxes in Heilongjiang province in 2005. Strain HL resembled CDVs of the Arctic genotype (GR88-like) and displayed high aa identity (98.0%) to the Chinese canine strain Liu. By converse, strain HLJ2 was barely related to CDVs of the Asia-2 genotype (88.7–90.3% aa identity), and could represent a novel CDV genotype, tentatively proposed as Asia-3. These results suggest that at least three different CDV genotypes, distantly related (81.8–91.6% aa identity) to the vaccine strains, Onderstepoort-like (America-1 genotype), are currently circulating in breeding foxes, raccoon dogs and minks in China, and that the genotype Asia-1 is predominant. Whether the diversity between wild-type CDVs and the vaccine strains may affect, to some extent, the efficacy of the vaccines deserves further investigations.     

水貂犬瘟热病毒分离鉴定及其H基因序列分析

为了解山东地区水貂犬瘟热病毒(CDV)遗传变异特征,采集水貂养殖场的发病水貂病料,通过RT-PCR鉴定为CDV阳性,将阳性病料接种Vero/Dog SLAM细胞进行病毒分离,通过间接免疫荧光、电镜负染、测序等方法鉴定,得到4株犬瘟热病毒,分别命名为WD1株、WD2株、WX1株和WX2株。分离株H基因测序结果显示,WD1株、WD2株、WX1株均为Asia-Ⅰ型,其中WD1和WD2与近几年仅在水貂和狐狸养殖场流行的新犬瘟热毒株核苷酸和氨基酸序列同源性分别为97.5%~99.2%和97%~99%;WX-1型与国内犬源HL001株的同源性最高,核苷酸和氨基酸序列同源性分别为99.6%和99.5%;WX2与疫苗株同属于一个分支,与疫苗毒Lederle株核苷酸和氨基酸序列同源性高达99.5%和98.8%。结果表明,水貂养殖场存在多株犬瘟热病毒混合感染的情况,提醒养殖场应注意防控,该结果也为犬瘟热病毒分子流行病学积累了资料。     

犬瘟热病毒小熊猫株H、F和N基因的克隆及表达

根据GenBank中发表的犬瘟热病毒（CDV）的核苷酸序列，设计并合成了扩增CDVH、F和N基因的3对引物，经RT—PCR分别扩增获得了CDV小熊猫株（LP株）H、F和N基因，并对H、F及N基因进行了克隆和序列测定。序列分析表明，CDV LP株属于强毒谱系，与CDV流行株的亲缘关系近．H基因含有较多潜在的糖基化位点．F和N基因相对比较保守。将CDV LP株H、F和N基因克隆入真核表达栽体pVAX1的CMV启动子下游，构建了CDV基因疫苗表达载体pVAXLPH、pVAXLPF、pVAXLPN，体外转染BHK-21细胞．用间接ELISA方法检测到目的蛋白的表达。用构建的3个表达质粒免疫小鼠，从小鼠血清中检测到了抗CDV抗体．初步证实用CDVH、F和N基因作为核酸疫苗免疫动物，可以激活机体的免疫应答。     

Identification of a genetic variant of canine distemper virus from clinical cases in two vaccinated dogs in Mexico

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a highly contagious viral pathogen of worldwide distribution that can cause lethal disease in dogs and other mammals. Genetic diversity is found among reference strains and isolates of CDV, mainly in the haemagglutinin protein (H), fusion protein (F) and nucleoprotein (N), and this may be associated with the increasing incidence of distemper in dogs. CDV was identified by RT-PCR in serum samples taken from two clinically diseased, previously vaccinated Mexican dogs. Subsequently, in both samples, a fragment of the CDV N gene was sequenced revealing a 100% identity between nucleotide sequences. However, the sequence obtained was different to that found in virus strains used in vaccines and in isolates reported elsewhere, but was closely related to A75/17, 1127/Gi95, and 2495/Gi95 sequences from USA and Germany, and clustered with 1127/Gi95 and 2495/Gi95 strains. The results suggest that a novel CDV lineage may be present in Mexico.     

Detection by RT-PCR and genetic characterization of canine distemper virus from vaccinated and non-vaccinated dogs in Argentina

RT-PCR was used to detect canine distemper virus (CDV) RNA in clotted blood from Argentine domestic dogs. The NP gene was detected in 73 out of 99 blood samples analyzed. The deduced amino acid sequence of these gene fragments showed 100% identity with the sequence of other wild-type and vaccine strains. A fragment of the hemagglutinin gene was amplified from 24 (32.9%) of the NP-RNA-positive clinical specimens. These H fragments were further analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing. A single NdeI site was detected in all 24 wild-type strains but was absent in the vaccine strains. Phylogenetic analysis of the partial hemagglutinin amino acid sequences showed close clustering for local strains, clearly distinct from vaccine strains and other wild-type foreign CDV strains. One of the local strains, Arg 23, branched out of the root of the Argentine clade, close to the European strains, suggesting that two different pathogenic CDV genotypes are currently circulating in Argentina, one of them clearly predominant.
