Analyses of monoclonal antibodies reacting with porcine CD3: results from the Second International Swine CD Workshop

Among the 57 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) analyzed within the T-cell group from the Second Swine CD Workshop, six mAb fell within clusters T10 and T11 (No. 088, STH164; No. 148, FY1A3; No. 149, FY2C1; No. 150, FY1H2; No. 151, FY2A11; No. 169, BB23-8E6). The mAb within these two groups gave a similar appearance on flow cytometry and stained all peripheral blood T-cells as defined by CD4 and wCD8 staining. All six mAb precipitated a 24 kDa protein. On the basis of inhibition analyses performed as part of the workshop and from published data, the mAb define at least three epitopes. There is only minimal stimulation of resting peripheral lymphocytes, but four of the mAb produce strong stimulation in the presence of PMA. With the exception of STH164, all have been shown to react with CD3-transfected COS cells. The new mAb, therefore, react with three epitopes on porcine CD3 designated CD3a (BB23-8E6, FY2A11), CD3b (FY1A3, FY2C1), and CD3c (FY1H2). mAb STH164 appears to be reactive with another epitope, however, since its reactivity with CD3 has not been confirmed it is designated as wCD3.     

新城疫病毒糖蛋白致病作用的研究

本实验以分子生物学和现代免疫学方法,对新城疫病毒（ＮＤＶ）中国毒株Ｆ４８Ｅ９和ＬａＳｏｔａ等毒株的糖蛋白的致病作用进行了探讨。结果表明,ＮＤＶ Ｆ和ＨＮ蛋白为糖蛋白,强弱毒株之间Ｆ蛋白裂解位点的氨基酸序列有明显的不同,并决定了毒株的毒力,但ＮＤＶ的致病作用尚需ＨＮ、Ｆ蛋白的协同作用,单一的Ｆ或ＨＮ蛋白不能构成ＮＤＶ的致病作用。

Role of outer membrane proteins in immunity against murine salmonellosis--1. Antibody response to crude outer membrane proteins of Salmonella typhimurium

The humoral immune response to crude outer membrane proteins (comp) of S. typhimurium in mice has been characterized. Maximal and quicker antibody response was observed when 50 micrograms of comp was injected intraperitoneally. The comp of smooth C5 strain of S. typhimurium evoked antibody response to both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and proteins. Absorption of these sera with LPS coated erythrocytes eliminated the antibodies to LPS completely, while the antibody level to protein was left unaltered. The comp from rough mutant (lacking O-specific chain of LPS) of S. typhimurium elicited antibodies to proteins but not to LPS. These results indicate the concomitant production of antibodies to Salmonella outer membrane proteins also. The significance of such antibodies in protection and diagnosis has been discussed.     

靶向甲型流感病毒血凝素的人源单克隆抗体研究进展

甲型流感病毒感染性强,宿主广泛,主要感染禽类,其次为哺乳动物。当跨物种传染事件发生时,有可能造成流感大流行,因此,对病毒实施及时有效的监控,以及研发抗流感病毒药物刻不容缓。流感病毒表面的糖蛋白血凝素在病毒入侵宿主细胞的过程中发挥了关键的作用,可作为单克隆抗体药物的主要靶点。针对血凝素的单克隆抗体能够有效抑制病毒传播,保护宿主。因此,本文综述了目前报道的针对甲型流感病毒血凝素糖蛋白的人单克隆抗体,为后续抗流感药物的研发提供新的思路和展望。     

草鱼IFNa和IFNd重组蛋白表达、纯化及单克隆抗体制备

为系统研究草鱼I型干扰素的合成、分泌和免疫功能,本研究在大肠杆菌中表达并提纯了草鱼IFNa（CiIFNa）和IFNd（CiIFNd）重组蛋白。将CiIFNa和CiIFNd成熟肽分别克隆到pET-21d或pEHISTEVb表达载体上,并转化到大肠杆菌中;IPTG诱导表达得到CiIFNa和CiIFNd成熟肽的包涵体,经过盐酸胍变性、蛋白复性和浓缩后,利用AKTA分子筛层析获得了纯度较高的重组蛋白。用重组蛋白免疫小鼠,通过PEG法诱导得到杂交瘤细胞;将稳定分泌抗体的阳性细胞株的细胞悬液注射入小鼠腹腔,制备腹水抗体并进行纯化。本研究纯化了草鱼CiIFNa和CiIFNd各2株抗体,并采用SDS-PAGE、ELISA、Western blot和免疫荧光法对其进行了较全面的鉴定。研究结果表明CiIFNa和CiIFNd单克隆抗体特异性好、效价高,能够特异识别在大肠杆菌和真核细胞中表达的重组蛋白,且不存在CiIFNa和CiIFNd分子间的交叉识别。本研究制备的单克隆抗体为深入研究草鱼干扰素的细胞来源和蛋白表达规律奠定基础。     

Characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against Piscirickettsia salmonis

A panel of 28 monoclonal antibodies against Piscirickettsia salmonis was produced using a purified fraction of the bacterium. To determine their specificity to the pathogen, the antibodies were assayed by ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Six monoclonal antibodies were selected based on their strong reaction against P. salmonis and absence of cross-reactivity with other common fish pathogens. Western blot analysis showed that the antibodies reacted to several antigens of P. salmonis . Immunofluorescence assays revealed that these antibodies reacted with the same specificity to different isolates of P. salmonis obtained from the south of Chile. This panel of monoclonal antibodies represents an important tool to develop simple, rapid, sensitive and highly specific methods for the detection of the pathogen and diagnosis of the disease.     

Analysis of exotoxins produced by atypical isolates of Aeromonas salmonicida,by enzymatic and serological methods

In this study, exotoxins produced by 62 Aeromonas salmonicida strains and the bacterium Haemophilus piscium were analysed. Enzymatic assays, zymograms and serological detection were used to monitor secretion by bacterial strains of the previously described exotoxins P1, GCAT and AsaP1 and also the extracellular P2 metallo-gelatinase and a serine caseinase, which is different from the P1 protease and has not yet been characterized. Based on the results, the strains were divided into five groups. One comprised the type strains for A. salmonicida ssp. masoucida, H. piscium and 36% of the atypical isolates, and another, a type strain for A. salmonicida ssp. smithia together with 14% of the atypical isolates. A second type strain of A. salmonicida ssp. smithia was grouped with 8% of the atypical isolates. The largest group contained the type strains for A. salmonicida ssp. achromogenes and 38% of the atypical isolates. The type strains for A. salmonicida ssp. salmonicida were in the last group with all the four typical strains and 4% of the atypical isolates. The combination of zymogram and serological detection used is recommended as the most reliable method for characterizing A. salmonicida strains according to their exotoxin secretion.

Immune responses and host protection of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis after immunization with live theronts and sonicated trophonts

The humoral immune responses and host protection of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) were determined after immunization with live theronts and sonicated trophonts. Immunizations with live theronts or sonicated trophonts were carried out by both bath immersion and intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Cutaneous and serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels and anti-Ich antibodies were measured 12 and 21 days post-immunization. The level of Ich infection and survival of catfish were determined after theront challenge. Cutaneous and serum anti-Ich antibodies were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection, or with sonicated trophonts administered by i.p. injection, than in fish immunized with sonicated trophonts by immersion, with bovine serum albumin by i.p. injection, or non-immunized controls. Host protection was noted only in fish immunized with live theronts by immersion or i.p. injection or with sonicated trophonts by i.p. injection. There was a positive correlation between higher levels of anti-Ich antibodies and host survival in the immunized fish.
