Diagnosis of swine influenza with an immunofluorescence technique using monoclonal antibodies

Direct diagnosis of swine influenza infection by an indirect immunofluorescence technique using anti-nucleoproteine monoclonal antibody was compared with virus isolation. Five 8-week-old pigs were inoculated with 2 x 10(7) EID50 of strain A H1N1Sw/4115/85. Clinical signs developed in only three pigs. Antigen was detected in nasal epithelial cells obtained from all animals the first day after inoculation; the antigen was detected in one pig 6 days after the infection. Fluorescence was present in the nucleus, nucleolus and cytoplasm of infected cells. The indirect immunofluorescence test was specific and as sensitive as virus isolation in embryonated eggs, allowing a rapid diagnosis that could be achieved within hours.     

具有HI活性的H1亚型流感病毒特异性单克隆抗体的制备与应用

为了制备具有HI活性的HI亚型流感病毒特异性单克隆抗体(MAb),本研究以H1N1亚型猪流感病毒(SIV)株A/Swine/Guangdong/718/01(H1N1)为免疫原,免疫BALB/c小鼠,经常规细胞融合后,血凝抑制(HI)方法进行检测,融合细胞经稀释克隆纯化后,获得11株能稳定分泌抗血凝素特异性HI MAb的杂交瘤细胞株。鉴定表明,所获MAb与其他具有血凝活性的病毒以及其他14个HA亚型的流感病毒均不具有HI交叉反应,表明这11株MAb均具有良好的流感病毒亚型特异性。其中A6F、2BBF和2BB与其他H1亚型流感病毒分离株的HI试验证实我国不同地区分离株之间的抗原性存在一定差异。11株MAb对H1SIV抗原的HI试验结果显示其HI效价有明显差异。叠加实验表明这些MAb分别识别HA抗原的不同表位。间接免疫荧光试验表明,2BBF、8HB、1DH、7FC和2BB均可与2009年流行H1N1病毒A/California/04/2009HA抗原发生特异性反应。这些MAb特异性的研制为H1亚型流感病毒的疫情病原学快速诊断以及病毒抗原性变异的相关研究提供了物质基础。     

利用真核表达的猪流感病毒NP蛋白制备其特异性的单克隆抗体

为制备猪流感病毒(SIV)核蛋白(NP)单克隆抗体(MAb),本研究将重组质粒pMD-NP中含有的SIVNP基因亚克隆于pCAGGS真核表达质粒中,获得重组质粒pCAGGS-NP,将其转染293T细胞,通过间接免疫荧光(IFA)和western blot检测表明NP蛋白在293T细胞中获得了表达。将pCAGGS-NP以100μg/只剂量免疫4周龄～5周龄BALB/c小鼠,3次免疫后,利用杂交瘤细胞融合技术获得1株稳定分泌抗SIVNP的MAb杂交瘤细胞株(3D7);该MAb经Ig亚类鉴定为IgM,轻链为κ链,其诱导小鼠产生的腹水ELISA效价为1:105;纯化3D7腹水并对其进行亲和力及抗原结合活性的测定,ELISA曲线图显示亲和力常数为1.02×106M-1,IFA结果显示其可与H1N1、H3N2、H9N2亚型SIV发生特异性反应,具有良好的反应活性。该MAb的制备将为进一步建立猪流感的诊断方法以及分析NP蛋白抗原表位等方面的研究奠定基础。     

Detection of antibodies against African swine fever virus using infected monolayers and monoclonal antibodies

Three monoclonal antibodies, specific for porcine IgG, IgM and IgA, were used to develop isotype-specific immunoperoxidase monolayer assays for the detection of antibodies against African swine fever virus. A mixture of anti-IgM and anti-IgG monoclonal antibodies was used in an assay designed for screening sera. This test was compared with a commercially available ELISA by using experimental sera and field sera obtained after an outbreak of African swine fever on two farms in the Netherlands in 1986. Although the ELISA was less sensitive than the immunoperoxidase monolayer assay on sera taken early after infection, the tests were equally useful for screening purposes. The isotype-specific assays gave epizootiological information about the stage of infection on the two farms.     

猪流行性感冒的诊治

猪流行性感冒是猪的一种急性、高密度接触性、传染病。其特征为突发,咳嗽,呼吸困难,发热及迅速转归。本病的病程、病性及严重性随病毒毒株、猪的年龄和免疫状态以及并发感染的不同而各异。诊断要点1 流行特点各个年龄、性别和品种的猪对猪流行性感冒病毒都有易感性。本病的流行有明显的季节性,天气多变的秋末、早春和寒冷的冬季易发生。本病传播迅速,常呈地方性流行或大流行。本病发病率高,死亡率低(4%-10%)。病猪和带毒猪是猪流感的传染源,患病痊愈后猪带毒6～8周。病毒存在于病猪或带毒猪的鼻汁或气管、支气管渗出液以及肺和肺淋巴结内。…     

抗H3N2亚型猪流感病毒单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

Investigating monoclonal antibodies to bovine "null" cell antigens using two-colour immunofluorescence

Eighteen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) putatively to non T4/T8 (null) cell antigens were tested by two-colour immunofluorescence and antibody binding inhibition (blocking), with one selected mAb (CC15) that previous studies had indicated to be specific for null cells. None of the other mAbs blocked binding of CC15 to lymphocytes. Three main patterns of reaction were observed in two-colour immunofluorescence studies: mAbs that stained the same cells as CC15, mAbs that only stained a sub-population of the cells that stained with CC15 and mAbs that stained a sub-population of the cells that stained with CC15 but also some cells that did not react with CC15.     

Diagnosis of bovine viral diarrhea virus infection using monoclonal antibodies

The monoclonal antibody (MAb) D89 against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) was used in conjunction with fluorescein-conjugated anti-mouse immunoglobulin in an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) procedure on frozen tissue sections and cell culture. During the 2-year study, BVDV was isolated from specimens submitted in 460 cases. The D89 Mab detected all but 2 BVDV isolates, both cytopathic. In 316 of the cases in which BVD virus was detected by IFA, specimens were inoculated on bovine turbinate cells and examined for BVDV antigens at 3-5, 10, and 20 days postinoculation. The BVDV was detected in 238/316 cases (75%) after 3-5 days incubation. The remainder were not detected until 10 or 20 days postinoculation. Virus isolation was enhanced in the early test if plates were centrifuged at the time of inoculation. Results suggest that D89 monoclonal antibody is a suitable diagnostic reagent for the detection of BVDV isolated from diagnostic specimens. The D89 MAb can be used for the detection of BVDV in both cell culture and tissues. Combination of D89 with another BVDV MAb (C17) did not improve the ability to detect BVDV in tissues compared to using D89 only, and the combined Mab's resulted in an increase in nonspecific fluorescence when used on tissues. Although pooling of different BVDV monoclonal antibodies may be necessary to detect all strains of BVDV in cell culture, pooling should be used with caution on tissues. Early detection of BVDV in cell culture by this IFA procedure permits faster confirmation of BVDV diagnosis when compared to the usual routine testing for noncytopathic BVDV at termination of first passage in cell culture.     

Characterization of monoclonal antibodies directed against swine leukocytes

Hybridomas were produced from fusions of the SP2/0 mouse myeloma with splenic cells from: 1) an outbred Sprague Dawley rat immunized with swine peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells; 2) a (CBA/NDub X BALB/c Dub) F1 mouse immunized with concanavalin A (Con A) activated swine PBM cells and 3) a (BALB/c Dub X C3H/He Dub) F1 mouse immunized with swine thymocytes. The resulting supernatants were screened by a microcytotoxicity assay for activity against swine PBM cells. Four hybridomas (MSA1, MSA2, MSA3 and MSA4) were selected, cloned and characterized by their cell reactivity and effect on mitogenic assays. MSA1 and MSA2 belong to the rat IgG2b subclass. MSA3 and MSA4 are of the mouse IgG2a subclass. These monoclonal antibodies reacted in the following manner: MSA1 with monocytes, granulocytes, red blood cells and bone marrow cells; MSA2 with subset of T cells; MSA3 with B cells and subsets of T cells and monocytes (class II molecule) and MSA4, a pan-T cell reagent (E-rosette receptor). The involvement of the various cell types reactive to the different monoclonal antibodies in the mitogenic response of swine PBM cells to Con A, phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or pokeweed mitogen (PWM) was investigated by cellular depletion with monoclonal antibody plus complement. Cellular depletion of PBM cells with the following monoclonal antibodies plus complement treatment resulted in: MSA1, almost total reduction in the mitogenic response to low doses of Con A or PWM; MSA2, partial reduction in the proliferative responses to any concentration of Con A, PHA or PWM; MSA3, partial reduction in proliferative responses to low concentrations of Con A or PWM and 4) MSA4, total elimination of any proliferative response to Con A, PHA or PWM.

Equine infectious anaemia: detection of antibodies using an immunofluorescence test

An indirect immunofluorescence test for detecting antibodies to equine infectious anaemia virus is presented. Using monolayers of equine dermal cells within a defined period after infection, discrete fluorescent spots were observed in the cytoplasm of as many as 95 per cent of the cells. These inclusions appeared as ring-like structures when high titred sera were employed but became spots when the sera were diluted. Cells showing optimal antigen fluorescence were used immediately or after storage at -70 degrees C. The fluorescence test detected lower levels of antibody than the immunodiffusion test, and results were available in less than two hours. It should be useful as a confirmatory assay with the immunodiffusion test.     

猪流感病毒H1N1亚型HA蛋白单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

An immunofluorescence technique for the detection of Toxocara canis antibodies

An immunofluorescent (IF) test for the serodiagnosis of Toxocara canis infections in puppies is described. Frozen sections of male adult T. canis worms were used as antigen.A group of seven puppies, 6 weeks of age, was infected orally with 10 000 embryonated T. canis eggs each. In the sera of all animals IF antibodies could be detected from approximately 4 weeks after infection onwards. Titers were detectable until the end of the observation period (22 weeks).Two puppies of the same age were infected with 30 000 or 50 000 embryonated T. canis eggs respectively. Positive IF results were also obtained in the sera of these pups from week 4 post infection (p.i.) onwards. No correlation between titer and initial number of egges administered was observed. Furthermore, no correlation was noticed between titer and number of adult worms recovered from the dogs. For comparison all sera were tested with the complement fixation (CF) test, using cuticle material of adult worms as antigen. Complement fixing antibodies could be detected in none of the serum samples.     

An enzyme immunoassay employing monoclonal antibodies and detecting specifically antibodies to classical swine fever virus

An enzyme immunoassay (complex-trapping-blocking ELISA, CTB ELISA) for the detection of antibodies against classical swine fever virus (SFV) has been developed. The CTB ELISA employs two monoclonal antibodies directed against different antigenic sites of SFV. A set of 2545 pig sera was tested in the CTB ELISA and in the neutralizing peroxidase-linked assay (NPLA) for neutralizing antibody to SFV. The CTB ELISA and the NPLA confirmed each other in 97% of the sera. The CTB ELISA detects low-level antibodies that can be found early after infection with low-virulent SFV strains or in postvaccination sera or sera with maternal antibodies. The CTB ELISA scored no false-positive results, whereas the NPLA scored 9 sera positive for SFV on a set of 81 pig sera that had antibodies against bovine viral diarrhoea virus.     

H5亚型禽流感单克隆抗体的研制及应用

以禽流感H5亚型病毒分别免疫BABL／C小鼠，取其脾细胞与SP2／0骨髓瘤细胞融合，用血凝抑制试验(HI)和间接ELISA检测细胞上清液，结果获得了3株抗禽流感H5亚型病毒特异性单克隆抗体，分别命名为186，1D4，7D1；其中1D4株为抗禽流感H5亚型病毒血凝素特异性单克隆抗体细胞株．186株和7D1株为针对禽流感病毒NP蛋白的单克隆抗体细胞株。经3次亚克隆后，100％杂交瘤细胞保持了分泌抗禽流感病毒抗体的能力。这些单克隆抗体小鼠腹水ELISA效价为10^5，HI效价为2^11-12。研究结果表明，所有这些单克隆抗体仅与相应的禽流感病毒株发生特异性反应，而不与鸡新城疫病毒、产蛋下降综合征病毒、鹅副粘病毒等反应。所有这些单抗在禽流感诊断中将发挥重要作用。     

珠海地区猪流感血清学的调查报告

2005年初至2007年上半年,对珠海市的不同猪场的猪流感的血清学普查,共检测1673份猪血清和56份人血清样品。结果表明,该市被检猪场流行的流感血清亚型是H1和H3,并以H1为主,未检测到H5、H9亚型抗体。总体来说,集约化猪场比个体(散户)猪场更容易受到感染,母猪的抗体阳性率及滴度明显比断奶猪和中大猪高。养猪场职工血清H1和H3阳性水平与其性别、年龄及与猪密切接触时间的长短没有直接关系。
