利用棉绳采集口腔液监测猪伪狂犬病方法的应用分析

为分析使用棉绳采集口腔液监测猪场伪狂犬病（PR）方法的科学性,本研究拟通过实验室水平、动物试验及临床应用3个方面对使用棉绳采集口腔液监测猪场PR这一方法开展应用分析。首先对采样条件进行优化,并通过模拟试验测定棉绳对伪狂犬病病毒（PRV）的释放能力,通过动物试验测定病毒感染后检出时间,最后对临床样品进行检测分析。结果表明：使用直径为1.0 cm的棉绳,在早上喂料前采集口腔液样品,采样时间为20~30 min,可采集到更能满足试验要求的口腔液。病毒释放能力测定显示,棉绳对PRV的释放能力为50%左右,使用棉绳采集口腔液可检测到1个TCID₅₀/0.1 mL的病毒含量。动物试验检测发现,猪群在感染后28 d中除第5天外,口腔液中病原含量均高于鼻拭子中病原含量,口腔液检测效果优于鼻拭子,且口腔液中病毒的检出时间（感染后第1天）早于血液中抗体转阳时间（感染后第7天）。临床样品检测分析结果表明,PRV疫苗免疫后也可通过口腔液检测到疫苗毒,并且存在无法通过口腔液检测感染PRV野毒后稳定猪中带毒的情况,因此口腔液检测方法应结合gE抗体检测,才可综合判断猪群是否为感染群体。综上,本研究优化了口腔液采集方法,并测定了棉绳对口腔液的释放能力和感染后检出时间,表明口腔液可作为较好的监测猪群PR的手段;口腔液监测方法需结合gE抗体检测来综合判断猪群是否为感染群体。     

双表达去势DNA疫苗的构建及其稳定性研究

试验旨在构建一种更安全有效的新型免疫去势DNA疫苗,通过选取下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴（hypot halamic-pituitary-gonadal axis,HPG）的上游调控基因吻素1（KISS1）和促性腺激素释放激素（GnRH）作为靶标,借助2A肽的自剪切功能,引入平衡致死系统代替抗性基因筛选流程,成功将GnRH和KISS1转入非抗性筛选质粒pVAX-asd中,酶切验证和测序对比验证目的基因的插入方向和序列完全正确。重组质粒转染HeLa细胞,反转录后扩增目的基因结果显示,重组质粒在真核细胞内能够正常转录,保证重组质粒在导入机体后能够正常表达,从而引起特异性免疫反应。将构建成功的质粒转入减毒的猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500中,获得可直接口服免疫的活载体疫苗,酶切和测序结果表明,双表达重组质粒成功导入工程菌中。将活菌疫苗在体外连续传代50次,选取0、2、5、10、20、30、40、50代的菌株进行稳定性研究,生长曲线检测结果表明,工程菌在体外连续传代50次的过程中,其生长特性无明显变化,且与减毒猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500的生长特性一致,未因携带质粒发生明显变化;同时将各代菌液扩增沙门氏菌标志基因（invA）和毒力基因（crp）,结果表明多次传代后工程菌仍然具有沙门氏菌的特性,其减毒特性也无变化。各代菌液质粒酶切验证显示,多次传代并不影响质粒的稳定性,重组双表达质粒能够在沙门氏菌C500中维持正常拷贝功能。综上所述,该重组质粒和工程菌疫苗均具有良好的稳定性,可直接应用于动物免疫去势的研究。

Effect of Weaning Stress on Blood Physiology and Biochemistry Indexes and Immune Function in Dairy Buffalo Calves

To study the effect of weaning stress on dairy buffalo calves,5 healthy calves were chosen and weaned,and the blood samples were collected at 1 day before weaning,and 1,14 and 21 days after weaning to analysis blood physiology and biochemistry indexes and immune function.The results showed that the count of white blood cell,lymphocyte,erythrocyte,monocytes and hematocrit,aspartate aminotransferase activity,blood glucose,cortisol and immunoglobulin G contents of dairy buffalo calves were no significant difference between before and after weaning treatments (P > 0.05).The count of neutrophils at 21 d after weaning were significantly lower than that of 1 d before weaning of dairy buffalo calves (P < 0.05).However,lactate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase activity in weaned treatments were significantly higher than those of animals in the treatment before weaning (P < 0.05).The serum urea nitrogen of dairy buffalo calves at 21 d after weaning was significantly higher than that of 1 d before weaning (P < 0.05) and hemoglobin content at 21 d after weaning was significantly lower than that at 1 day before weaning (P < 0.05).It indicated that the physiological and immunity function of dairy buffalo calves were challenged under weaning stress.     

Effect of diet with thiram on liver antioxidant capacity and tibial dyschondroplasia in broilers

1. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of thiram on liver antioxidant capacity and incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia in broilers. 2. One hundred and twenty Avian commercial broilers were allotted at random to three treatments: control group, low thiram group (50 mg/kg) and high thiram group (100 mg/kg). 3. Blood samples were collected to determine the activity of AST (aspartate aminotransferase). At the end of the trial, broilers were killed and liver samples were collected to determine the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase), GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase) and MDA (malondialdehyde) content, while the right proximal tibiotarsi were dissected in longitudinal section for assessment of tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) incidence and TD score. 4. The results showed that thiram increased the incidence of TD and TD scores, increased serum AST activity and MDA content of liver, and decreased the activity of SOD and GSH-Px in the liver. 5. They suggest that thiram causes TD in broilers by reducing liver antioxidation capability and damaging liver function; this may be one of the mechanisms by which thiram causes TD in broilers.     

Inhibition of porcine circovirus type 1 and type 2 production in PK-15 cells by small interfering RNAs targeting the Rep gene

Porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) and type 2 (PCV2) are two genotypes of porcine circovirus. Both of them are presumed to be widespread in the swine population. Currently, there is no specific treatment for their infections. RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific RNA degradation mechanism mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA), which represents a possible therapeutic application for the treatment of viral infections. In this study, three siRNA expression plasmids (pS-RepA, pS-RepB and pS-RepC) were generated to target three different coding regions of the Rep protein (Rep) of PCV. These siRNAs were used to inhibit PCV production in a porcine kidney cell line, PK-15 cells. Our results revealed that Rep gene expression was inhibited by pS-RepA, pS-RepB and pS-RepC to different degrees. Moreover, our study also showed that the production of PCV1 and PCV2 was reduced by these siRNAs. pS-RepC, which targets the middle region of Rep gene, proved to be the most efficient siRNA for inhibition of Rep expression and viral production. Taken together, our data suggest that RNAi could be investigated as a potential treatment for PCV infection.     

Evaluation of immunogenicity and protective efficacy of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae HB04C(-) mutant lacking a drug resistance marker in the pigs

Previously, we reported the construction and characterization of a genetically defined Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A. pleuropneumoniae) apxIIC gene mutant, HB04C(-), which conferred protection to mice against infection with A. pleuropneumoniae. In this study, we further evaluated HB04C(-) for safety and its ability to elicit protective immunity in pigs. It was demonstrated that a dose of 2 x 10(8) CFU HB04C(-) was safe to the pigs via intranasal or intramuscular injection. Immunization with a dose of 2 x 10(8) HB04C(-) by both intranasal and intramuscular routine could yield equal protective efficacy and elicited significant protection against experiment challenge with homologous or heterologous serotypes of a virulent A. pleuropneumonia. Taken together, HB04C(-) might serve as a promising vaccine candidate against infection with A. pleuropneumoniae.
