鞭毛蛋白及鸡GM-CSF重组新城疫病毒对鸡的免疫增强作用

为评价鼠伤寒沙门氏菌鞭毛蛋白(FliC)以及鸡GM-CSF(chGM-CSF)对新城疫病毒(NDV)弱毒疫苗的免疫增强效果,本实验通过PCR扩增fliC,并合成chGM-CSF编码基因,分别构建重组质粒pBrClone30-fliC和pBrClone30-GM-CSF,拯救获得重组病毒rClone30-fliC和rClone30-GM-CSF。RT-PCR和ELISA检测结果表明:fliC和chGM-CSF基因正确插入重组病毒,并获得稳定表达;重组病毒免疫7 d后重组NDV HI抗体效价检测显示,实验组平均HI效价分别达到4.5 log2和4.8 log2,而r Clone30组和空白组HI效价仅为3 log2和1 log2;免疫7 d后攻毒,空白组SPF鸡均死亡,rClone30组有两例发病,实验组SPF鸡全部存活并且无任何临床症状。本研究结果表明,FliC和chGM-CSF作为佐剂能够有效提高弱毒疫苗的免疫效果。

2株鸭源 H11N9亚型禽流感病毒的基因遗传进化及致病性分析

为了解从湖南省洞庭湖区鸭群中分离的2株 H11N9亚型禽流感病毒变异特点、进化规律及生物学特性,本研究对2株H11N9亚型禽流感病毒的HA、NA序列进行同源性和遗传进化分析,并用2株毒株对SPF鸡进行致病性试验。结果显示,本试验分离到2株 H11N9亚型禽流感毒株的 HA裂解位点均没有多个连续的碱性氨基酸插入,属于低致病性毒株;HA基因的受体结合位点均非常保守,具有典型的禽源性特征;NA基因序列与在周边国家野鸟中分离的H11N9亚型毒株的氨基酸同源性较高;鼻腔接种SPF鸡后,均能使鸡感染并通过喉头或泄殖腔排毒,但感染的鸡均不表现明显的临床症状,并且不能使同居鸡感染排毒。     

Genetic evaluation using random regression models with different covariance functions for test‐day milk yield in an admixture population of Thailand goats

The objectives of this study were to compare covariance functions (CF) and estimate the heritability of milk yield from test‐day records among exotic (Saanen, Anglo‐Nubian, Toggenburg and Alpine) and crossbred goats (Thai native and exotic breed), using a random regression model. A total of 1472 records of test‐day milk yield were used, collected from 112 does between 2003 and 2006. CF of the study were Wilmink function, second‐ and third‐order Legendre polynomials, and linear splines 4 knots located at 5, 25, 90 and 155 days in milk (SP25–90) and 5, 35, 95 and 155 of days in milk (SP35–95). Variance components were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood method (REML). Goodness of fit, Akaike information criterion (AIC), percentage of squared bias (PSB), mean square error (MSE), and empirical correlation (RHO) between the observed and predicted values were used to compare models. The results showed that CF had an impact on (co)variance estimation in random regression models (RRM). The RRM with splines 4 knots located at 5, 25, 90 and 155 of days in milk had the lowest AIC, PSB and MSE, and the highest RHO. The heritability estimated throughout lactation obtained with this model ranged from 0.13 to 0.23.     

Genetic analysis of fat‐to‐protein ratio,milk yield and somatic cell score of Holstein cows in Japan in the first three lactations by using a random regression model

We estimated the genetic parameters of fat‐to‐protein ratio (FPR) and the genetic correlations between FPR and milk yield or somatic cell score in the first three lactations in dairy cows. Data included 3 079 517 test‐day records of 201 138 Holstein cows in Japan from 2006 to 2011. Genetic parameters were estimated with a multiple‐trait random regression model in which the records within and between parities were treated as separate traits. The phenotypic values of FPR increased soon after parturition and peaked at 10 to 20 days in milk, then decreased slowly in mid‐ and late lactation. Heritability estimates for FPR yielded moderate values. Genetic correlations of FPR among parities were low in early lactation. Genetic correlations between FPR and milk yield were positive and low in early lactation, but only in the first lactation. Genetic correlations between FPR and somatic cell score were positive in early lactation and decreased to become negative in mid‐ to late lactation. By using these results for genetic evaluation it should be possible to improve energy balance in dairy cows.     

Complete Mitochondrial DNA D-Loop Sequence and Genetic Diversity of Wuzhishan Pig

In order to research the genetic diversity and phylogenies of Wuzhishan pig, 56 complete mtDNA D-Loop were analyzed.55 sequences were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 1 sequence was downloaded from GenBank.The results showed that repetitive sequence "TTATAAAACAC" appeared in the conservative regions of 21 mtDNA D-Loop sequences.13 haplotypes and 14 variable sites were observed in 56 sequences.Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity (Hd =0.838 and Pi=0.00334) indicated that Wuzhishan pig had high genetic diversity.Two branches in the phylogenetic tree and Network analysis diagram indicated that there were two maternal origins in Wuzhishan pig.The phylogenetic tree of Wuzhishan pig and other 23 species showed that Wuzhishan pig had close genetic relationship with the pig breeds in the south region of the Yangtze river.
