水疱性口炎研究进展

水疱性口炎（Vesicular stomatitis，VS）是由水疱性口炎病毒（Vesicular stomatitisvirus，VSV）引起的多种哺乳动物的一种急性高度接触性传染病，以马、牛、猪等动物较易感，绵羊和山羊也可感染。临床上以舌、唇、口腔黏膜、乳头和蹄冠等处上皮发生水疱为主要特征。当马不发病时，VS在临床症状上很难与口蹄疫（FMD）、猪水疱病（SV）、猪水疱性疹（VES）区别开来。人也偶有感染VS，引起流感样症状，严重者可引起脑炎。     

Comparison of the serum neutralization test and a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey and vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana.

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) for the detection of antibodies against vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana (VSV-IN) was compared with the serum neutralization test (SNT) using 1,106 serum samples obtained from dairy cattle on sentinel study farms in the Poás region of Costa Rica. Kappa coefficients between the C-ELISA and the SNT were 0.8871 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.8587-0.9155) and 0.6912 (95% CI: 0.6246-0.7577) for the VSV-NJ and VSV-IN tests, respectively. These results indicate good to excellent agreement between the 2 tests under these conditions.     

Oral vesicular lesions in horses without evidence of vesicular stomatitis virus infection

OBJECTIVE: To report clinical and serologic findings in horses with oral vesicular lesions that were consistent with vesicular stomatitis (VS) but apparently were not associated with VS virus (VSV) infection. DESIGN: Serial case study. ANIMALS: 8 horses. PROCEDURE: Horses were quarantined after appearance of oral lesions typical of VS. Severity of clinical signs was scored every 2 to 5 days for 3 months. Serum samples were tested for antibodies by use of competitive ELISA (cELISA), capture ELISA for IgM, serum neutralization, and complement fixation (CF). Virus isolation was attempted from swab specimens of active lesions. RESULTS: 2 horses with oral vesicular lesions on day 1 had antibodies (cELISA and CF) against VSV; however, results of CF were negative by day 19. Five of the 6 remaining horses were seronegative but developed oral lesions by day 23. Virus isolation was unsuccessful for all horses. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Horses were quarantined for 75 days in compliance with state and federal regulations. However, evidence suggests that oral lesions were apparently not associated with VSV infection. The occurrence in livestock of a vesicular disease that is not caused by VSV could confound efforts to improve control of VS in the United States and could impact foreign trade. Vesicular stomatitis is of substantial economic and regulatory concern.     

水疱性口炎病毒糖蛋白基因的克隆和表达

对一株实验室保存多年的水疱性口炎病毒(VSV)的囊膜糖蛋白(VSV_G)基因进行了克隆和测序,并且构建了重组VSV_G真核系统表达载体。结果表明克隆的VSV_G基因全长1536个核苷酸(nt),其编码的G蛋白长为511个氨基酸(aa),氨基酸序列与20个Indiana血清型VSV毒株的同源性在95.4%左右(94.1%～98.0%)。种系发生树分析表明此病毒株属于水疱病毒属的VSV_Indiana血清型。经免疫荧光检测证明构建的重组VSV_G表达质粒pCIVG5和pCRVG6转染23T细胞后能够有效地转录和表达,这为进一步开发利用VSV_G奠定了基础。     

水泡性口炎病毒单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

将水泡性口炎病毒（VSV）经差速离心和蔗糖密度梯度离心法进行纯化后,以纯化的VSV作为免疫原免疫8～10周龄雌性BALB/c小鼠,取其脾细胞与SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞进行融合,经间接ELISA方法筛选能稳定分泌抗VSV单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞株,并对制备出的抗VSV单抗的特异性、抗体亚类等生物学特性进行鉴定。结果显示,试验成功筛选出2株能稳定分泌抗VSV单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞株,分别命名为1A2、4C3。ELISA鉴定结果表明,2株单抗均能特异性地与VSV结合,而与口蹄疫病毒（FMDV）、猪水泡病病毒（SVDV）均不发生交叉反应;诱生小鼠腹水产生的抗体效价可达1∶25 600～1∶51 200。杂交瘤细胞染色体核型鉴定结果显示,杂交瘤细胞染色体数为95～105,均高于2个亲本细胞的染色体数目,说明这2株细胞是两者的杂交产物。抗体亚类鉴定结果显示,所获得2株单抗1A2、4C3均为IgG1。Western blot分析结果表明,1A2可识别VSV G蛋白。2株抗VSV单克隆抗体的成功制备将为VSV快速检测方法的建立以及检测试剂的研制等奠定基础。     

Ultrastructural changes in bovine lingual epithelium infected with vesicular stomatitis virus.

Vesicular stomatitis virus was inoculated into the dorsal lingual epithelium of three cows. The reaction that developed in 72 h was characterized by severe acute diffuse glossitis with intercellular edema and necrosis of keratinocytes. Virions budded from the plasma membrane and were in the intercellular spaces. Reduplication of desmosomes was a prominent alteration, and normal desmosomes were within the cytoplasm. Intracytoplasmic desmosomes appeared to be formed by endocytosis after breaks occurred in the plasma membrane of one cell; endocytosis of loops of plasma membrane containing desmosomes; and formation of desmosomes on invagination of the plasma membrane.     

印第安纳型水疱性口炎病毒一步法RT-PCR检测方法的建立

根据印第安纳型水疱性口炎病毒（VSV）L蛋白的序列，设计了一套特异性引物，建立了检测VSV核酸的一步法RT-PCR方法，并用该法检测了不同的组织样品。结果显示，人工感染VSV小鼠组织检测为阳性，而口蹄疫、猪水疱病、猪瘟、猪生殖与呼吸综合征等病料检测均为阴性，表明该方法具有较好的特异性。     

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of vesicular stomatitis virus antigen

An indirect, sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the laboratory diagnosis of vesicular stomatitis (VS). The assay which uses rabbit and guinea-pig antisera to the purified glycoprotein antigens of Serotypes New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and Indiana (VSV-IND-1), has both high sensitivity and specificity, but has lower reactivity for the two other Indiana subtypes VSV-IND-2 and VSV-IND-3.     

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of vesicular stomatitis virus antibodies

A liquid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) types New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and Indiana subtype Indiana I (VSV-IND₁) antibodies in the sera of naturally and experimentally infected cattle, horses and swine. Four different VSV preparations were compared for use as antigen in the ELISA: virus used in neutralization tests, complement-fixation antigen, immunodiffusion ager gel antigen and viral glycoprotein. Comparative antibody titration results of virus neutralization (VN) and ELISA showed no statistically significant difference between serum titers obtained with the four antigens to VSV-NJ (P=0.21) and VSV-IND₁ (P=0.14). The viral glycoprotein antigen was incorporated in the ELISA system because it is non-infectious and induces neutralizing antibodies. The reliability and variability of the ELISA was determined by testing 516 bovine, equine and swine sera which originated from areas free of vesicular stomatitis, and by testing 186 sera from areas where outbreaks occur. ELISA and VN results were correlated (P < 0.001 for both serotypes), and no statiscafically difference was found between replications of the tests. The ELISA allows the testing of a larger number of sera in a shorter time than is possible with the VN test and it can be used in diagnostic laboratories in VSV-free areas for the support of epidemiological surveillance programs.

Stability and inactivation of vesicular stomatitis virus,a prototype rhabdovirus

Viruses may remain infectious outside the host cell for considerable time and represent a source of accidental infection if not properly inactivated. In this study, the survival of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in suspension and dried on surfaces was analyzed. In addition, the sensitivity of VSV to disinfectants and physicochemical changes was investigated. VSV showed a notable stability in suspension at 4 °C with virus titers remaining high over several weeks. The presence of serum proteins had a stabilizing effect on virus infectivity, whereas elevated temperatures reduced survival times. VSV dried on polystyrene, glass or stainless steel surfaces remained infectious for at least 6 days at ambient temperature. VSV showed a remarkable resistance to extreme pH in particular in the alkaline range, but could be rapidly inactivated by heating at 55 °C or higher. The virus was highly sensitive to inactivation by commonly used disinfectants such as aldehydes, alcohols, and detergents. The high stability of VSV on surfaces and in suspension may facilitate dissemination of the virus in livestock by contaminated feeding and water troughs, hands, and milking equipment. This knowledge on the sensitivity of VSV to disinfectants will help to set up appropriate hygiene measures.     

Contact transmission of vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey in pigs

OBJECTIVE: To determine how viral shedding and development or lack of clinical disease relate to contact transmission of vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey (VSV-NJ) in pigs and determine whether pigs infected by contact could infect other pigs by contact. ANIMALS: 63 pigs. PROCEDURE: Serologically naive pigs were housed in direct contact with pigs that were experimentally inoculated with VSV-NJ via ID inoculation of the apex of the snout, application to a scarified area of the oral mucosa, application to intact oral mucosa, or ID inoculation of the ear. In a second experiment, pigs infected with VSV-NJ by contact were moved and housed with additional naive pigs. Pigs were monitored and sampled daily for clinical disease and virus isolation and were serologically tested before and after infection or contact. RESULTS: Contact transmission developed only when vesicular lesions were evident. Transmission developed rapidly; contact pigs shed virus as early as 1 day after contact. In pens in which contact transmission was detected, 2 of 3 or 3 of 3 contact pigs were infected. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Transmission was lesion-dependent; however, vesicular lesions often were subtle with few or no clinical signs of infection. Contact transmission was efficient, with resulting infections ranging from subclinical (detected only by seroconversion) to clinical (development of vesicular lesions). Long-term maintenance of VSV-NJ via contact transmission alone appears unlikely. Pigs represent an efficient large-animal system for further study of VSV-NJ pathogenesis and transmission.
