PRRSV与PCV2体外共感染对猪肺泡巨噬细胞免疫学功能的影响

制备猪肺泡巨噬细胞,分别接种PCV2、PRRSV、PCV2 PRRSV(先接种PCV2,12h后接种PRRSV)、PRRSV PCV2(先接种PRRSV,12h后接种PCV2)、PRRSV/PCV2(同时接种)和对照组。接种后不同时间观察细胞病变(CPE),并用real-time PCR和IFA方法检测PRRSV和PCV2滴度,INF-α、INF-γ、TNF-α、IL-8和IL-10的mRNA。结果为:①PRRSV能在PAM中增殖,有CPE;PCV2在PAM中感染率较低,无CPE。②PRRSV对PCV2增殖无明显影响。PCV2先于或同时与PRRSV感染对PRRSV的复制具有抑制作用,而PCV2后于PPRSV感染,可促进PRRSV增殖。③PCV2单独感染PAM后能促进INF-α、INF-γ、IL-8和IL-10的大量表达,对TNF-α的表达量影响不大。④PCV2与PRRSV混合感染,尤其是PCV2后于PRRSV感染后,TNF-α、IL-8和IL-10的表达量与单感染组相比明显增加,而INF-γ的表达量明显受到抑制。实验结果表明,PCV2感染时间对PRRSV的增殖影响不同,PRRSV感染后如果再感染PCV2,可以明显促进PRRSV病毒增殖;两种病毒共同刺激了TNF-α、IL-8和IL-10的大量表达,抑制了抗病毒因子INF-γ的表达,从而可能抑制体液免疫和细胞免疫,加重了病理学免疫应答。     

C-reactive protein quantification in porcine saliva: a minimally invasive test for pig health monitoring

Study objectives were to investigate whether C-reactive protein (CRP) in pig saliva could be quantified using an adapted, time-resolved immunofluorometry assay (TR-IFMA), and to determine whether the assay could distinguish healthy from diseased animals. The test method had intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of 5.75% and 9.73%, respectively, the limit of detection was 0.47 ng/mL and the coefficient of determination was 0.98. Analysis of CRP concentrations in paired serum and saliva samples from 50 pigs gave a positive correlation (r = 0.702, P < 0.01) and the salivary CRP concentration was able to distinguish healthy from diseased animals in 62 samples from pigs with naturally occurring or experimentally-induced inflammation. The results suggest that this minimally invasive, straightforward and sensitive assay may be useful in pig health and welfare monitoring.
