Characterization of infectious bronchitis virus using monoclonal antibodies

Three monoclonal antibodies (MABs) reactive against two structural proteins--the nucleoprotein (NP) or the surface (S) protein--of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were produced and characterized. The MABs did not neutralize virus infectivity or inhibit hemagglutination. Their reactivity patterns with the homologous strain and eight heterologous strains of IBV were determined using the indirect immunoperoxidase test, the indirect immunofluorescent test, transfer-immunoblotting of separated proteins, and a dot-immunoblotting assay (DIA). Two MABs, NP- or S-protein-specific, reacted with all nine strains; one (NP-specific) reacted with only two strains. The two MABs reacting with all nine strains of IBV also detected 18 IBV field isolates of unknown serotype in the DIA. The MAB detecting only two strains did not react in the DIA. The diagnostic application of these MABs appears promising.     

表达鸡传染性支气管炎病毒S1基因重组腺病毒的构建

为构建表达鸡传染性支气管炎病毒(IBV)主要免疫原S1蛋白的重组腺病毒,本研究以复制缺陷型人5型腺病毒为载体,以IBVCK/CH/LHLJ/04V株S1基因为外源插入靶基因,通过细菌内同源重组法构建了一株稳定表达IBVS1蛋白(90ku)的重组腺病毒,命名为rAdV-S1。通过PCR鉴定、间接免疫荧光及western blot检测证实S1蛋白在重组腺病毒中获得表达。对构建的重组腺病毒和亲本腺病毒的生长动力学分析表明,该重组病毒的毒价为108.25TCID50/mL,并且两者在生长动力学方面无显著差异。本研究为动物试验和该重组腺病毒免疫特性的研究奠定基础。     

Identification of a mimotope of an infectious bronchitis virus S1 protein

The S1 protein of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a major structural protein that induces the production of the virus-neutralization antibodies. The monoclonal antibody against the IBV M41 S1 protein was used as a target for biopanning. After three rounds of biopanning, randomly selected phages bound to the monoclonal antibody. Sequence analysis showed that the dominant sequence was SFYDFEMQGFFI. Indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that SFYDFEMQGFFI is a mimotope of the S1 protein that was predicted by PepSurf. The mimotope may provide information for further structural and functional analyses of the S1 protein.

Screening for antibodies against infectious bronchitis virus: specificity of the haemagglutination inhibition test

A screening of antibodies against strain M-41 and the Dutch variant strains D-274 and D-1466 of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) using the haemagglutination inhibition test (HI) was carried out in Chile. The presence of these variant strains has not been reported yet and therefore the probability of finding positive flocks is low. On this basis some statistical analysis were made with those data obtained in order to contribute to the problem of the specificity of the HI test for IBV diagnosis. All sera were distributed in different categories of possible results against each strain according with the HI titre obtained and employing different discrimination levels for a positive or negative status against IBV. It was concluded that discrimination levels varying from 4.0 to 5.0 log2 are useful for establishing the presence or absence of antibodies against IBV but if a serotype specific diagnosis is needed, then the discrimination level should be elevated, specially when secondary immune responses are measured.     

Optimization of parameters for detecting antibodies against infectious bronchitis virus using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: temporal response to vaccination and challenge with live virus

Critical parameters affecting sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were evaluated and optimized. The use of purified IBV as antigen at 50 ng protein/well and high-ionic-strength serum dilution buffer has resulted in a test with minimal nonspecific binding of chicken immunoglobulins and very high sensitivity. Optimum conditions for serum dilution, conjugate dilution, and substrate incubation were determined for minimizing background and nonspecific reactions. The use of this test in a controlled challenge study with chickens vaccinated with live IBV demonstrated its effectiveness in monitoring circulating antibody levels to infectious bronchitis. The IBV ELISA, which is rapid, inexpensive, highly sensitive, and capable of handling very large numbers of samples, should provide the poultry industry with a reliable means for IBV flock monitoring.

Detection of antibodies against serotypes 1 and 2 infectious bursal disease virus by commercial ELISA kits

Two distinct serotypes of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) are recognized in chicken and turkey flocks in the United States. Serologic testing of chicken flocks for serotype 1 viruses is routinely performed to monitor disease status and vaccination. Earlier studies indicated that enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test detects antibodies to both serotypes of the virus, while the virus neutralization (VN) test is serotype specific. It is useful to evaluate currently available commercial ELISA kits for their ability to differentiate between antibodies elicited by the two serotypes. Three trials were performed in which chickens were orally inoculated with either a high or a low dose of serotype 1 STC or serotype 2 OH strains of IBDV. Sera collected at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days from these chickens and antisera procured from naturally infected broiler (n=20) and layer (n=30) flocks were tested with five different commercial ELISA kits and by VN. All ELISA kits detected different levels of antibodies elicited against serotype 1 of the virus and moderate and high levels of antibodies against serotype 2 virus. A correlation existed between the ELISA and the VN titers of experimentally infected chickens. All serum samples tested from the commercial layer flocks and 65% of the broiler flocks had antibodies against the OH strain. However, no correlation between the VN titers and ELISA titers was observed for the commercial broilers and layers sera by the majority of the kits. The results indicated that currently available commercial ELISA kits detect antibodies elicited by the two serotypes of IBDV. Hence, the prevalence of serotype 2 antibodies in the flocks should be considered while determining antibody profiles of the flocks against serotype 1 viruses.

The ELISA appears to be suitable for IB serology.
