Cloning and Sequence Analysis of N and M Genes of Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus Guangxi Strain

To investigate genetic variation of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in Guangxi province,one strain of IBV was isolated from chicken.Two pairs of primers for amplifying the N and M genes of IBV were designed according to the sequences in GenBank.The N and M genes of the strain were amplified by RT-PCR,and they were proved to be the N and M genes of IBV by cloning,sequencing and compared with reference IBV strains published in GenBank.The results showed that the N gene from the IBV isolate consisted of 1 230 bp,coding 409 amino acids.The M gene from the IBV isolate consisted of 678 bp,coding 225 amino acids.The sequence analysis of N gene showed that it shared 87.2% to 93.3% nucleotide homologies and 90.0% to 94.4% deduced amino acid sequence homologies with IBV strains from GenBank.The M gene sequence analysis showed that it shared 83.6% to 91.0% nucleotide homologies and 82.7% to 92.9% deduced amino acid sequence homologies.The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that it was closely related to BJ and LX4 strains,and were clustered into one group;But with the distant relatives from other strains of IBV.These results suggested that the isolate was a new variant of IBV.

The present study was designed to construct recombinant plasmids,which could express porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) ORF5 gene.RNA was extracted from spleen and lung samples of the suspected pigs which were infected with PRRSV.According to PRRSV ORF5 gene,a pair of primers was designed for RT-PCR amplification.The ORF5 target gene was cloned into pMD19-T vector and then the recombinant pMD19-ORF5 was achieved.According to the sequencing results and the characteristics of expression vectors,a pair of primers with NcoⅠand XbaⅠenzyme cleavage sites was designed.Target fragment dORF5 was amplified and then connected to pProEXHTb and pNZ8149 vectors,respectively.And recombinant HTb-dORF5/DE3 and pNZ8149-dORF5/NZ3900 was induced by IPTG and Nisin,respectively,and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.Recombinant HTb-dORF5/DE3 induced by 1.5 mmol/L IPTG was expressed in the highest quantity.There were specific band at about 22 ku with reactionogenicity when it was tested by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.Recombinant pNZ8149-dORF5/NZ3900 induced by 20 ng/mL Nisin was expressed in the highest quantity.There were specific band at about 19 ku with reactionogenicity when it was tested by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.The IFA result showed specific green fluorescence.This study successfully constructed recombinant plasmids HTb-dORF5 and pNZ8149-dORF5 and expressed,the result laid a solid foundation for further development of PRRS vaccines.     

抗流感病毒药物研究进展

季节性和爆发性流感引起了高发病率和死亡率,不仅严重危害人体健康,还影响社会稳定和经济发展。目前对抗流感的主要措施是预防接种,然而流感病毒变异速度非常快,使得现有的疫苗对新变异的流感病毒无效或者预防效果不好。因此,抗病毒药物的研究显得非常必要,而被深入研究的流感病毒的生命周期和病毒结构蛋白也推进了抗流感病毒药物设计的进展。本文将对抗流感药物设计靶向进行概述,旨在为今后研究开发出更高效、更理想的多靶向抗流感病毒药物提供借鉴。

Phylogenetic analysis of Newcastle disease viruses isolated from wild birds in the Poyang Lake region of China

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes a highly contagious viral disease in poultry and wild birds, and it can cause significant economic loss worldwide. Eight viral strains were isolated by inoculating embryonated chicken eggs from the Poyang Lake region of China with swab samples. All eight of the NDV isolates were identified as class I genotype 3 strains, but they diverged notablely from class II viruses. Further analysis revealed that all eight NDV isolates were lentogenic strains containing the ¹¹²ERQER↓L¹¹⁷ motif at the F protein cleavage site. The strains were highly identical and were more species specific (chicken and waterfowl) than site specific (Nanchang and Duchang regions). The close phylogenetic proximity of these isolates indicates that viral transmission may happen between poultry and wild birds. Our study demonstrates that lentogenic class I NDVs exist in clinically healthy wild waterfowl and poultry within the Poyang Lake region. Active surveillance of these viruses to determine their evolution and origin is one of the most realistic strategies for preventing and controlling NDV outbreaks.     

Pathogenicity of emerging Japanese type 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in experimentally infected pigs

To clarify the pathogenicity of Japanese type 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) isolate in experimentally infected pigs, we evaluated clinical signs and monitored viremia for 21 days post-inoculation (dpi). Lungs were mottled, tanned and reddish in appearance; had lesions predominantly in the cranial, middle and accessory lobes; and failed to collapse at 10 dpi. Although microscopic lesions of lungs were reproduced using the Japanese emerging type 1 PRRSV isolate under experimental conditions, no significant differences were noted between the challenge and control groups regarding mean rectal temperature and daily weight gain. These results provide useful insights into the limited pathogenicity of single infection with the Japanese type 1 PRRSV isolate in piglets, which differ from findings in reported field cases.
