Response of pups to modified-live canine parvovirus component in a combination vaccine

Twenty-eight pups from a general pet population were vaccinated for canine parvovirus (CPV) with a combination vaccine every 3 weeks until the pups were 11 to 16 weeks old. Canine parvovirus antibody titers were measured by serum neutralization before each vaccination and greater than or equal to 2 weeks after the final vaccination. Eighteen pups that initially were seronegative for CPV seroconverted after 1 to 3 doses of modified-live virus CPV vaccine administered when the pups were between 8 and 16 weeks old; 16 of 18 seroconverted after the 1st dose. Of 10 pups that were seropositive for CPV at initial examination, 7 did not develop protective titers after 3 doses of vaccine, with the last dose given when the pups were 14 to 16 weeks old. Maternally derived antibody was the primary cause of vaccination failure.     

犬细小病毒2型变异株对高母源抗体犬的致病性

为了探究CPV-2变异株的致病性,用CPV-2a和CPV-2b野毒株,分别攻击犬细小病毒(CPV-2)高母源抗体(MDA)幼犬,根据犬临床症状,组织病理学,粪便排毒和血清抗体应答等指标,评价高母源抗体(HI滴度≥1∶160)对不同CPV病毒变异株的保护作用。结果表明, CPV-2a和CPV-2b攻毒后引起明显临床症状,攻毒后3～6 d粪便中CPV排毒。感染犬的组织样品经PCR检测表明,CPV-2a/2b病毒广泛分布。组织病理学分析表明,CPV-2a/2b感染引起肠道黏膜出血。研究表明,CPV-2高母源抗体对CPV-2a/2b变异株攻击不能提供有效保护,有必要开发CPV变异株的新型疫苗。     

Performance of high titre attenuated canine parvovirus vaccine in pups with maternally derived antibody

The performance of live, attenuated, homologous, canine parvovirus vaccines was studied in 140 puppies aged from four to 11 weeks. In the presence of maternally derived antibody the ability of the vaccines to elicit a serological response, as determined by the haemagglutination inhibition test and a standardised ELISA, was found to be dose (infectious titre) related. An experimental vaccine containing 10(7.0) TCID50 of virus induced seroconversion rates of 95, 89, 82 and 44 per cent in dogs with haemagglutination inhibition antibody titres of less than or equal to 8, 16, 32 and greater than 32, respectively. The standardised ELISA appeared to be better than the haemagglutination inhibition test with respect to variability and subjectivity, especially when titres were low.

Characterisation of canine parvovirus strains isolated from cats with feline panleukopenia

Unlike the original canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), CPV-2 variants have gained the ability to replicate in vivo in cats but there is limited information on the disease patterns induced by these variants in the feline host. During 2008, two distinct cases of parvoviral infection were diagnosed in our laboratories. A CPV-2a variant was identified in a 3-month-old Persian kitten displaying clinical sign of feline panleukopenia (FPL) (acute gastroenteritis and marked leukopenia) and oral ulcerations, that died eight days after the onset of the disease. Two pups living in the same pet shop as the cat were found to shed a CPV-2a strain genetically identical to the feline virus and were likely the source of infection. Also, non-fatal infection by a CPV-2c strain occurred in a 2.5-month-old European shorthair kitten displaying non-haemorrhagic diarrhoea and normal white blood cell counts. By sequence analysis of the major capsid protein (VP2) gene, the feline CPV-2c strain showed 100% identity to a recent canine type-2c isolate. Both kittens had been administered multivalent vaccines against common feline pathogens including FPL virus. Whether and to which extent the FPL vaccines can protect cats adequately from the antigenic variants of CPV-2 should be assessed.

Immunization of pups with maternally derived antibodies to canine parvovirus (CPV) using a modified-live variant (CPV-2b)

The results of vaccination trials carried out on pups with maternally derived antibodies (MDA) to canine parvovirus (CPV), using a modified-live CPV-2b variant vaccine (29-97/40 strain), are reported. The vaccine was able to overcome the obstacle of MDA, and to elicit protective immunity in 100% of the pups whose antibody titres were 1:10-1:40, 83% of the pups with titres of 1:80, 57% of the pups with titres of 1:160, and even in 60% of the pups with antibody titres of 1:320.

母源抗体对鸡新城疫疫苗免疫的影响

该试验旨在通过在不同日龄分别选用不同的疫苗组合 ,对有鸡新城疫母源抗体的雏鸡进行免疫 ,探讨不同疫苗组合克服母源抗体的效果。结果表明 :有 ND母源抗体的雏鸡用弱毒疫苗免疫后 ,母源抗体对弱毒疫苗免疫干扰较大 ,只有当 ND母源抗体降到较低水平 (小于 3log2 ,一般要到 1 5～ 2 0日龄后 )时 ,对弱毒疫苗免疫影响才非常小 ,方可产生较为可靠的免疫力 ;用ND弱毒疫苗 油乳剂疫苗进行免疫 ,可有效地克服母源抗体的干扰 ,获得理想的免疫效果。但母源抗体对 ND油乳剂疫苗免疫的影响在日龄越小的雏鸡越明显 ,因此于 8～ 1 0日龄之后用 ND弱毒疫苗 油乳剂疫苗进行免疫是最佳选择 ,为雏鸡免疫程序的制定奠定了理论基础     

Occurrence of canine parvovirus type 2c in the dogs with haemorrhagic enteritis in India

Canine parvovirus 2 (CPV-2) causes a highly contagious and often fatal disease in dogs. Since its sudden emergence in the early 1970s, CPV-2 has been evolving through the generation of novel genetic and antigenic variants (CPV-2a/b/c) that are unevenly distributed throughout the world. In the present study we have examined 36 clinical cases of dogs suspected of CPV collected during year 2006. A fragment of the VP2 gene of the virus was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction endonuclease (RE) and DNA sequence analysis. Out of the 36 samples analyzed, 16 were found positive for CPV-2a/2b by conventional PCR. DNA sequencing was done for 6 PCR positive samples, out of which three were characterized as CPV-2c, indicating that this CPV type 2c is currently circulating in India.     

Expression or subcellular targeting of virus capsid proteins with cloning genome of a canine parvovirus from China

A strain of canine parvovirus (CPV), designated B2004, was isolated from the stool of a sick dog in Beijing. The partial genome (4623 bp) was cloned, sequenced with sequence showing B2004 to be a member of the widely distributed CPV-2a subclade. A completed VP2 or 11-residue N-terminal peptide (MAPPAKRARRG) of VP1 from B2004 was also tested for its ability to mediate nuclear transport of a heterologous protein, in this case enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP). EGFP was detected in the nucleus when it fused with the VP1 peptide; it was distributed primarily in the nucleus and also in the cytoplasm either when it fused with VP2, or in the cytoplasm when expressed on its own. In common with other parvoviruses the CPV VP1 N-terminal peptide contributes to the nuclear localization of the gene product.     

白细胞介素-12对犬细小病毒VP2 DNA疫苗的免疫增强作用

犬细小病毒编码的VP2蛋白是该病毒重要的结构蛋白和抗原蛋白。利用VP2基因制备的DNA疫苗能够刺激机体产生免疫应答反应。为进一步提高VP2DNA疫苗的免疫应答水平,本研究在小鼠体内尝试了利用白细胞介素12（IL-12）基因表达载体提高VP2DNA疫苗的免疫应答水平。首先采用RT-PCR方法从小鼠脾淋巴细胞中分别扩增IL-12大亚基（P40）和小亚基（P35）cDNA基因;然后在真核表达载体pcDNA3.1A上通过引入内部核糖体进入位点（IRES）序列,分别将P40基因和P35基因插入到IRES序列的上下游,构建成IL-12（P40和P35双亚基）基因表达载体,pcDNA-P40-IRES-P35。将上述表达载体与本室构建的VP2表达载体通过磷酸钙方法转染HEK 293T细胞进行瞬时表达,以确定构建的表达载体能否介导相应基因在真核细胞中进行分泌表达。然后用VP2载体单免疫和VP2载体和IL-12载体共免疫方法对小鼠进行免疫（用pcDNA3.1A作为对照）。免疫后在特定时间通过ELISA方法检测小鼠血清抗VP2蛋白的抗体水平,并通过淋巴细胞增殖实验检测免疫后35d小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞增殖反应。结果表明,扩增的小鼠IL-12P40和P35亚基基因与GenBank的参考序列基本一致。Western-blot检测结果表明,重组IL-12和VP2均能够在HEK293T细胞中进行分泌性表达。ELISA检测结果表明利用IL-2载体与VP2载体共免疫小鼠,其血清中抗VP2的抗体水平明显高于VP2载体单免疫组（P〈0.01）,抗体水平在第35天高达1：5120。淋巴细胞增殖试验结果表明,免疫小鼠的淋巴细胞刺激指数均明显高于对照组（P〈0.01）,VP2载体与IL2载体共免疫组的刺激指数明显高于VP2载体单免疫组（P〈0.05）。由此可见,在小鼠体内,IL-12基因表达载体可明显提高CPV VP2基因疫苗的免疫应答水平。     

Canine adenovirus type 2-induced immunity to two canine adenoviruses in pups with maternal antibody.

Twenty-four Beagle pups with high levels of maternal antibody to canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1) and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) were oronasally inoculated with CAV-2 at 4 weeks of age. The CAV-2 was isolated from pharyngeal swabs on postinoculation days 2 through 6. In spite of the infection, maternal antibody continued to decrease for 4 to 8 postinoculation weeks, and then homologous CAV-2 neutralizing antibody and, to a lesser extent, CAV-1 neutralizing antibody began to increase. When these pups were challenge inoculated with CAV-1 and CAV-2 at a time when maternal antibody to CAV-1 would normally have disappeared, they were immune. In addition, 3 pups with maternal antibody to CAV-1 and CAV-2 were intramuscularly inoculated with CAV-2 at 3 weeks of age. Virus was not isolated from these pups, and maternal antibody decreased at a normal rate. These pups were not immune to challenge inoculation with CAV-1 and CAV-2.     

种鸡接种网状内皮组织增生病病毒弱毒疫苗的安全性和免疫效果观察

在正常饲养条件下，在肉种鸡鸡群中试用网状内皮增生病病毒（reticuloendotheliosis virus，REV）的弱毒疫苗，观察其对体重增长、产蛋生产性能、对其他疫苗应答有无影响。同时连续定期测定种鸡血清REV抗体，并测试抗体阳性鸡的后代有无病毒垂直传播。结果表明，该疫苗接种18周龄种鸡后，对生长、产蛋率、受精率和孵化率等生产性能均无不良影响，对正常疫苗免疫的抗体应答也无影响。经免疫接种REV弱毒疫苗的种鸡，在开产后及产蛋高峰期，均不表现病毒的垂直传播。免疫种鸡后，其激发的抗体可持续280d以上，且雏鸡血清中母源抗体可持续至少7d。结果表明，该REV弱毒在开产前种鸡应用时有很高的安全性，并能为雏鸡提供足够的特异性母源抗体。

Potential as an aerosol vaccine of an improved Newcastle disease vaccine derived from the LaSota strain—II. In vivo studies

Aerosol administrations of RIT 4030 and other available vaccine strains have been carried out in SPF and in conventional chickens. The results indicate that the RIT 4030 and Ulster 2C strains are significantly less reactogenic than the LaSota and the Hitchner B1 strains.The RIT 4030 strain produces an immune response even when administered to chickens with maternal antibodies and induces a better protection to challenge than the Ulster 2C strain.The replication of the RIT 4030 strain in the respiratory tract will be discussed with respect to its attenuation and transmissibility.     

Confirmation of the passive transfer of maternal antibodies to calves following vaccination of pregnant cows with an inactivated Mannheimia haemolytica and Bovine herpes virus type 1 vaccine

The objective of this study was to evaluate the passive transfer of maternal antibodies to calves following vaccination of pregnant cows with an inactivated Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) and Bovine herpes virus type 1 (IBR) vaccine (Bovilis® MH + IBR). Sixty-two pregnant cows were allocated at random to two groups; one group was retained as a negative control group (T01), while the other group (T02) was vaccinated with Bovilis® MH + IBR on two occasions during their third trimester of pregnancy. Following calving, blood samples were collected from calves for the measurement of serum antibody titres to IBR and MH, with samples collected prior to suckling (Day 0) and on days 5 (±2), 14 (±3), 28, 56, 84, 112, 140, 168, 196, 224, 252 and 280. The group mean IBR blocking percentage remained low for T01 calves (calves born to T01 cows) between days 0 and 224 (range 4.5%–15.4%), while the group mean IBR blocking percentage increased for T02 calves (calves born to T02 cows) from 14.3% on Day 0 to 94.9% on Day 5 and remained significantly higher than T01 calves up until Day 252. The group mean MH titre (Log2) for T01 calves increased after suckling to 8.9 on Day 5, before declining and remaining stable (range 5.0–6.5). The group mean MH titre for T02 calves increased after suckling to 13.6 on Day 5 and then gradually declined; however, it remained significantly higher than T01 calves between days 5 and 140. Outcomes from this study have confirmed that colostral transfer of IBR and MH antibodies to newborn calves was successful and a high level of passive immunity was acquired by calves.

Detection of rotavirus in faecal specimens with a monoclonal antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: Comparison with polyclonal antibody enzyme immuno-assays and a latex agglutination test

Monoclonal antibodies have been produced against the 81/36F strain of rotavirus. One of them, was chosen as diagnostic reagent: it showed high ELISA reactivity with all the bovine, human and porcine rotavirus strains tested and reacted with VP6, structural protein product known to support the common rotavirus antigen.

A sandwich ELISA procedure using the chosen monoclonal as “capture and detecting” antibody was performed to detect rotavirus in faecal samples from experimentally inoculated newborn calves: it always gave a negative response with meconium and a positive response for the stool specimens which rotavirus have been isolated. This assay was compared with Enzygnost and Slidex Rota Kit tests and with a non-commercial sandwich ELISA test using polyclonal antibodies: it showed more sensitivity than the agglutination test and was as sensitive as the other two tests to detect rotavirus in routine diagnostic material. The test evaluated showed no equivocal results.
