Detection of transmissible gastroenteritis virus in feces from pigs by reversed passive hemagglutination

A reversed passive hemagglutination (RPHA) method was developed for the detection of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus in the fecal specimens from pigs. Ovine erythrocytes fixed with glutaraldehyde and treated with tannic acid were coated with anti-TGE virus swine antibodies, which were purified by affinity chromatographic technique linked with purified TGE virus. The RPHA test was done by the Microtiter method. Erythrocytes coated with purified specific antibodies were agglutinated by TGE virus, but not by porcine rotavirus or porcine enterovirus. The reaction was specifically inhibited by antiserum against TGE virus, confirming the specificity of the reaction. A litter of seven 3-day-old pigs was orally inoculated with TGE virus, and fecal specimens were obtained once a day and serum was obtained every 4th day. With the RPHA test, TGE virus was detected in the diarrheal feces; all of the inoculated pigs developed virus-neutralization antibody for the TGE virus. The RPHA test detected TGE virus in feces from pigs with naturally occurring diarrhea. The RPHA test detected TGE virus in 5 of 6 fecal specimens (80%), whereas the positive rate was only 50% (3/6) for the immunofluorescent staining of primary cultures of porcine kidney cells inoculated with the specimens. The advantages of the RPHA method are simplicity, high sensitivity, and rapid to do.

Hemagglutination by calf diarrhea coronavirus

The virus was grown in BEK-1 cells, a stable cell line from bovine embryo kidney, and tested for hemagglutination (HA) with erythrocytes of a variety of species at 4°C, room temperature and 37°C. HA was observed at all temperatures with chicken, mouse, rat, and hamster erythrocytes but not with erthyrocytes of human (O), cattle, horses, sheep, guinea pigs, geese, ducks, pigeons and 1-day-old chicks. Chickens showed an individual variation in agglutinability of their erythrocytes, requiring selection of birds to obtain erythrocytes for HA. HA reaction was inhibited by specific antiserum. Some factors involved in HA and HA inhibition (HI) were investigated and standard HA and HI tests were worked out.

Hemolytic activity of Akabane virus

Akabane virus was shown to lyse as well as to agglutinate pigeon erythrocytes. The hemolytic activity of the virus was markedly enhanced by repeated freeze-thawing, but its hemagglutinating activity was not affected. Hemolysis (HL) with the virus, like its hemagglutination, was affected by the NaCl concentration as well as by the pH of the diluent. HL was markedly affected by the incubation temperature, but hemagglutination (HA) was not; HL activity was highest at 37°C, somewhat lower at 25°C, very low at 4°C, and did not occur at 0°C. While pigeon erythrocytes were positive for both HL and HA, goose erythrocytes were positive for HA but negative for HL. Erythrocytes from cattle, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and day-old chickens were tested for HA as well as for HL activity with negative results. A linear relationship was shown, in a wide range of the virus concentrations, between the percent HL and the virus concentration, as expressed on a logarithmic scale. Based on these findings we developed an assay method for Akabane virus hemolysin. Analysis by CsCl equilibrium density gradient centrifugation indicated the hemolytic as well as the hemagglutinating activity to be structurally associated with the virion. Scanning electron microscopy of pigeon erythrocytes undergoing HL with the virus revealed the appearance of a depressed area with a hole on the cell surface. The hemolytic activity of the virus was specifically inhibited by antisera to the virus and an HL-inhibition test was developed.     

鸭坦布苏病毒和鸭瘟病毒二重荧光定量RT-PCR方法的建立

The study was conducted to establish the duplex Real-time PCR assay for detecting both duck tembusu virus (DTMUV) and duck plague virus (DPV). According to the sequences of DTMUV E gene and DPV UL6 gene in GenBank, two sets of specific oligonucleotide primers for DTMUV and DPV along with two TaqMan probes were designed. The duplex Real-time PCR assay was developed through optimization of reaction conditions and validation of specificity, sensitivity and repetitiveness of the method. The sensitivity of the assay were both 100 template copies for DTMUV and DPV. There was no specific bands of the same sizes were amplified from other duck pathogens, such as duck Newcastle disease virus, duck hepatitis virus, muscovy duck parvovirus, duck circovirus, H9 subtype avian influenza virus, egg drop syndrome virus. This duplex Real-time RT-PCR assay is a sensitive, quick, specific and quantitative test for detection of DTMUV and DPV, and will be useful for the control of these viruses in ducks.     

An improved hemagglutination test for study of canine parvovirus

Optimal conditions for hemagglutination (HA) by canine parvovirus (CPV) strains were investigated using several buffers. Porcine erythrocytes often agglutinated spontaneously in phosphate-buffered salt solution, isotonic saline solution or barbitone-complement-fixation buffer. Results were reproducible when borate-buffered saline (BBS) was used as the diluent for antigen, and "virus adjusting diluent" (VAD), containing 0.15 M NaCl and 0.3 M phosphate was used as the diluent for erythrocytes. Highest HA titers were obtained at pH 6.0 using BBS and VAD. Specific HA with CPV was observed not only at 4 degrees C but at 37 degrees C, and erythrocytes from horse, shrew mouse, hamster, cat, sheep and dog, as well as pig and African green monkey were agglutinated by CPV using the improved method.     

Hemagglutination and antigenic comparison of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus

The hemagglutinating activity and serological properties of three strains of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus, Chinese, Korean and Shizuoka, which was first isolated in Japan, were examined by hemagglutination (HA) and cross hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test with human erythrocytes. Similar results were observed between the Chinese and Korean strains, both of which gave positive HA at 4 degrees C with O, A, B and AB, and at 22 degrees C with B and AB blood groups. In the Shizuoka strain, positive HA was observed at 4 degrees C with O, A, B and AB, at 22 degrees C with A, B And AB, and at 37 degrees C with B blood group. In experimentally infected rabbits, HI antibody in these animals showed a titer of 16,384 or 32,768 at 4 weeks after inoculation. No serological difference was observed in three strains by cross HI test.

The hemagglutinating activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from humans and animals

The presence and type of adhesins occurring in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were determined by hemagglutination test with a 3% suspension of normal and trypsin-treated human group A erythrocytes, with or without the addition of sugar inhibitors (D-mannose, D-glucose, L-fucose, D-galactose, D-fructose, lactose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine). This study showed that a low percentage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains caused the agglutination of normal erythrocytes. Trypsin treatment of erythrocytes did not affect the hemagglutinating properties, indicating that hemagglutination was not dependent upon a trypsin-sensitive protein on the erythrocytes surface. Most of the studied strains agglutinated RBCs at 37 degrees C. A great variability in the inhibiting activity on studied strains was observed among the carbohydrates tested. These results demonstrated the predominant role of N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid for Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion to RBCs.

Hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition with Chuzan virus.

Chuzan virus agglutinated erythrocytes of several species of animals including bovine. The hemagglutinating (HA) activity against bovine erythrocytes was dependent on NaCl molarity and was expressed best at 0.6 M, but it was independent of pH and temperature. Three strains of Chuzan virus isolated from 2 cows and a pool of culicoides midges had indistinguishable HA antigenicity. All cattle infected with the virus developed high titers of hemagglutination inhibiting (HI) antibody which changed in parallel with neutralizing (NT) antibody titers. Correlation between HI and NT antibodies was very high and the antibodies persisted for one year or more. Therefore it was concluded that the HI test is applicable for survey of Chuzan virus infection among cattle in place of the NT test.
