同步接毒条件下鳜传染性脾肾坏死病毒在CPB细胞中的最适增殖条件

为了获知鳜传染性脾肾坏死病毒(ISKNV)同步接毒最适增殖条件,通过检测不同血清浓度、病毒接种量、细胞状态等培养条件下的病毒拷贝数,确定鳜脑组织细胞(CPB)同步接种ISKNV的最适体外增殖条件。结果表明,上述各因素对ISKNV的增殖量均有明显影响。其中选取处于对数生长中期的CPB细胞,胰酶消化后按照病毒感染复数(MOI)为0.2同步接种ISKNV,培养液中胎牛血清终浓度为6%时,28℃恒温培养9 d后收获,所得病毒拷贝数最多,为2.54×10⁸拷贝/mL。将所测得病毒拷贝数折算成培养基成本进一步分析表明,按照上述相同条件进行接毒,每元人民币培养基所得病毒量也最高,为4.24×10¹¹拷贝。综上所述,本研究基于病毒增殖量及培养基成本对病毒增殖条件进行优化,可为低成本ISKNV疫苗的生产提供理论依据。     

基于病毒mRNA监测的传染性脾肾坏死病毒灭活快速检验方法建立及其应用

Differential host passaging alters pathogenicity and induces genomic variation in white spot syndrome virus

To understand the pathological effects of passaging WSSV through different animals, we passaged WSSV through crabs (Portunus sanguinolentus and P. pelagicus), prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and artemia (Artemia sp.). Among the three geographically distinct WSSV isolates (A166, G9 and G27) that caused over 95% mortalities in experimental infections in P. monodon, only two isolates (A166 and G9) caused mortality (5%) in M. rosenbergii. On subsequent infection of P. monodon with the passage one virus (P1V) from M. rosenbergii, only P1V of A166 caused 5% mortality while P1V of G9 failed to cause any mortality, though the infected shrimp were positive for WSSV by nested PCR. Crabs showed differential susceptibility to WSSV isolates. While passaging WSSV (G9) through P. sanguinolentus retained pathogenicity, passaging through P. pelagicus completely attenuated the two strains (A117 and G27). Passaging through M. rosenbergii changed pathogenicity of isolates (A166 and G9) from 95% to 5% cumulative mortality in experimental infections. WSSV was unable to infect Artemia and could not transmit the disease to P. monodon. WSSV (A117) passaged through P. monodon retained its virulence. An examination of tandem repeats (TR) in ORF 94 of the WSSV genome revealed variations upon passaging through different hosts. One isolate (A117), with 12 TR yielded 8 TR when passaged through P. pelagicus and 18 TR when passaged through P. monodon. Two other isolates (G9 and G27) with 9 TR, retained them when passaged through P. monodon and P. sanguinolentus but yielded 8 and 12 TR when passaged through P. pelagicus and M. rosenbergii, respectively. Thus, differences in TR number appeared to result from host selection rather than geographical isolation.

Detailed monitoring of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp commercial ponds in Sinaloa, Mexico by nested PCR

WSSV has caused great losses to the global shrimp industry in recent years. This virus can infect shrimps asymptomatically. However, once the clinical signs are developed, mortalities can reach 100% in 3-10 days. PCR has been extensively used to detect WSSV in a specific and sensitive manner. Nested PCR is even more sensitive than single-step PCR and had been used for the detection of WSSV in asymptomatic populations. In this work, a detailed monitoring of WSSV by nested PCR in shrimp commercial ponds in Guasave County, State of Sinaloa, Mexico, is presented. Five ponds from two different farms were monitored for growth and presence of WSSV. At the beginning of the culture, ponds from both farms showed no or very slight WSSV presence. A 3-day period of rain occurred at both farms 10 and 14 weeks of culture for farms 1 and 2, respectively. At this time, WSSV was widely distributed in the shrimp populations of farm 1 according to nested-PCR data, although no visual symptoms were observed. In ponds of farm 2, WSSV was present at low level. However, the number of PCR-positive groups was drastically increased in both farms by nested and single-step PCR. Abrupt fluctuations in temperature and salinity were documented in farm 2 after the rain, which may have contributed to the increasing of viral load in the pond's shrimp populations. Twelve days after the rain period, estimated mortalities of 80% occurred in farm 1. Nevertheless, the study ponds at farm 2 culture continued normally for three more weeks and were harvested successfully (52% and 67% of survival for ponds 1 and 2, respectively). The removal of 40% and 50% of shrimp population 2-4 days after the raining period may have contributed to the thriving of the cultures. Analyses of the presence of WSSV in individuals of both sexes indicated that there is no preference for this virus to infect male or female shrimp. Also, no differences in weight were found between WSSV infected and non-infected individual shrimps, as well as nested-PCR positive against single-step PCR positive organisms. Nested PCR is more useful to monitor shrimp cultures than single-step PCR since it allows knowing how widely distributed the virus is in asymptomatically populations.     

Comparison of dot blot and PCR diagnostic techniques for detection of white spot syndrome virus in different tissues of Penaeus monodon

Comparison of PCR and dot blot diagnostic techniques for detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) was made on different tissues of infected Penaeus monodon including eye stalk, eye stalk with eye, gills, cuticle, pleopod, periopods, uropods and telson. Dot blots of crude DNA extracted from infected tissue samples showed positive reactions with all the samples; however, the sensitivity of the dot blot was reduced with the purification of DNA samples extracted from pleopod, telson and uropod. PCR was found to be more sensitive when compared to dot blot. Both crude DNA and purified DNA samples extracted from all the tissues except for eye stalk with eye showed single step nested PCR positive reaction. The amplification of all or either of the three bands of 941 bp, 525 bp and 204 bp size varied with the tissues analysed. The severity of infection assessed by PCR amplification was found to be maximum in cuticle and telson followed by gill. Other tissues such as eye stalk, pleopod, periopods and uropod were observed to have mild infection. The maximum intensity of the PCR product was for the smallest amplified product of 204 bp followed by 525 bp and the weakest intensity was observed for the 941 bp size. The limitation of PCR due to inhibiting factors present in tissues could be overcome with the use of dot blot which gave positive reaction from the DNA extracted from eye stalk including the eye but yielded no amplification by PCR.

在已经完成的栉孔扇贝急性病毒性坏死病毒(acute viral necrosis virus,AVNV)全基因组序列测序与分析的基础上,设计特异性引物,克隆得到了ORF86编码的杆状病毒凋亡抑制蛋白基因(IAP-86)。IAP-86基因与pET32a(+)质粒连接构建得到重组质粒pET32a-IAP86,将重组质粒转化到E.coil BL21(DE3)中,使用异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导蛋白表达,SDS-PAGE检测显示表达蛋白分子量约为40 ku,经Western-blotting和质谱分析证明,该蛋白即为IAP-86融合蛋白,Co2+柱纯化后得到了纯化的IAP-86融合蛋白。将重组的IAP-86蛋白用FITC标记,荧光显微镜下观察,发现重组的IAP-86蛋白最终能够与栉孔扇贝血淋巴细胞的细胞核和细胞质结合。细胞凋亡检测实验发现,重组的IAP-86蛋白能够在一定程度上抑制栉孔扇贝血淋巴细胞凋亡,凋亡抑制率为7%。本实验应用原核表达成功得到了IAP-86蛋白,并证明IAP-86对栉孔扇贝细胞的凋亡有一定抑制作用,这为进一步研究AVNV的侵染机制提供依据。     

Preparation of monoclonal antibody against Macrobrachium rosenbergii Nodavirus and application of TAS-ELISA for virus diagnosis in post-larvae hatcheries in east China during 2000-2004

“Whitish muscle disease” of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also called “whitish disease” or “white tail disease”, is a new serious epizootic disease that has occurred in recent years in giant freshwater prawn culture regions, mainly in southern China. This disease occurred in post-larvae 3-5 days to 3 weeks after desalting. Clinical signs include the development of white spot in muscles or milky muscles throughout the body, causing serious loss in few days, with a mortality rate of 40-90%. A 26-27 nm icosahedral non-enveloped virus, identified as M. rosenbergii Nodavirus (MrNV), was confirmed as the aetiological agent. Twelve hybridomas strongly secreting monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against MrNV were shown to be specific for MrNV and reacted with MrNV 42 kDa coat protein by Western blot. A triple antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) was developed and shown to be a useful diagnostic tool for MrNV infection.     

Studies on the rotifer (Brachionus urceus Linnaeus, 1758) as a vector in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) transmission

The rotifer Brachionus urceus (Linnaeus, 1758) was experimentally infected with the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) by the virus-phytoplankton adhesion route in order to assess the possibility of rotifer acting as a vector of WSSV to infect the shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis (Osbeck, 1765) larvae at zoea stage III. The nested-PCR test revealed WSSV-positive results in the rotifers exposed to WSSV by the virus-phytoplankton adhesion route. Among 10 replicates in the infection treatment, 40% of F. chinensis larvae became WSSV-positive when fed with WSSV-positive rotifers, whereas all were WSSV-negative for F. chinensis when fed with WSSV-free rotifers. Though the mortality of shrimp larvae in the infection treatment (39.47 ± 15.44%) was higher than that in the control treatment (34.67 ± 15.11%), there was no significant difference in the mortality between them (P > 0.05). These results indicated that the rotifer could serve as a vector in WSSV transmission when ingested.     

Study on the distribution and expression of a DNA vaccine against lymphocystis disease virus in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

The distribution and expression of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) vaccine, on the basis of DNA vaccine (pEGFP-N2-LCDV0.6 kb) construction, were analyzed in tissues of the Japanese flounder by PCR, RT-PCR and fluorescent microscopy. Results from PCR studies indicated that the vaccine-containing plasmids were distributed in injected muscle, muscle located opposite the injection site, hind intestine, gill, spleen, head kidney, liver and gonad 7 days after vaccination. However, these vaccine-containing plasmids disappeared by 90 days following vaccination. Fluorescent microscopy observations revealed that green fluorescence appeared in muscle, muscle located at the opposite side of the injection site, hind intestine, gill, spleen, head kidney and liver of fish 36 h after vaccination, and that green fluorescence did not appear in control tissue. The green fluorescence became weaker at 60 days post-vaccination, however, it remained detectable in the spleen 90 days post-vaccination. Results from RT-PCR studies indicated that the Mcp gene is expressed in all tissues of vaccinated fish 7-20 days after vaccination. These results demonstrate that the DNA vaccine is distributed and expressed in different tissues of vaccinated fish, and therefore, may have provided an antigen producing specific immune response.
