Oral administration of F4 fimbriae of Escherichia coli induces intestinal mucosal immune responses in F4 receptor-positive (F4R(+)) pigs, but not in F4R(-) pigs. We examined whether F4 fimbriae in F4R(-) animals behave like a food antigen and can induce oral tolerance. Therefore, F4R(+) and F4R(-) pigs were fed 2mg of F4 and challenged i.m. to evaluate the effect of oral F4 on the systemic immune system. As control antigen, two different oral doses (2 and 600 mg) of OVA were used. Thirty days after the i.m. OVA challenge, the OVA-specific serum IgG titre in 600 mg-fed pigs was lower than that in non-fed animals, indicating that tolerance was induced. Conversely, in the 2mg-fed pigs a rapid increase of OVA-specific IgG with higher titres than those in non-fed pigs was seen following challenge, indicating a priming of the systemic immune system. A similar priming was seen in both F4-fed F4R(-) and F4R(+) pigs. Upon challenge, non-fed pigs displayed a primary immune response with a slow increase of F4-specific serum IgG, whereas F4-fed F4R(-) and F4R(+) pigs showed secondary responses with a rapid increase of serum IgG. This was expected in F4R(+) pigs, as in these animals oral F4 induces F4-specific antibody-secreting cells in the spleen, suggesting a priming of the systemic immune system. However, also the F4-fed F4R(-) pigs displayed a secondary response, despite the failure to detect a response upon oral F4 administration. These findings suggest that the F4 antigen, at a dose of 2 mg, behaves like a common food antigen in F4R(-) pigs, namely it induces a systemic priming.  相似文献

Very few antigens have been described that induce an intestinal immunity when given orally. Our laboratory demonstrated that oral administration of isolated F4 (K88) fimbriae of Escherichia coli to F4-receptor positive (F4R(+)) pigs induces protective mucosal immunity against challenge infection. However, presence of F4-receptors (F4R) on villous enterocytes is a prerequisite for inducing the immune response, as no F4-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) can be induced in F4R(-) pigs. In this study, the in vivo binding of isolated F4 fimbriae (F4) to the gut epithelium was examined in F4R(+) and F4R(-) pigs. It was further investigated whether binding of F4 to the F4R results in endocytosis in and translocation across the gut epithelium using microscopy. F4 did not adhere to the intestinal epithelium of F4R(-) pigs, whereas it strongly adhered to the villous epithelium and the follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) of the jejunum and ileum of F4R(+) pigs. Following binding to F4R, F4 was endocytosed by villous enterocytes, follicle-associated enterocytes and M cells. Transcytosis of F4 across the epithelium resulted in the appearance of F4 in the lamina propria and dome region of the jejunal and ileal PP. This is the first study showing transcytosis of fimbriae across the gut epithelium. This receptor-dependent transcytosis can explain the success of F4 fimbriae as oral immunogen for inducing protective immunity in F4R(+) pigs strengthening the importance of receptor-dependent endocytosis and translocation in oral vaccine strategies. Further identification of the receptor responsible for this transport is in progress.  相似文献

The intestinal mucosal immune system can discriminate actively between harmful pathogenic agents and harmless food antigens resulting in different immune responses namely IgA production and oral tolerance, respectively. Recently, a pig model has been developed for studying intestinal mucosal immune responses in which F4 fimbrial antigens of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (F4 ETEC) are used as oral antigens. A unique feature of this model is that soluble F4 antigens can be administered to pigs which have a receptor for this fimbriae (F4R(+)) on their small intestinal villous enterocytes and pigs which do not have this receptor (F4R(-)). Oral administration of F4 to the F4R(+) pigs results in an intestinal mucosal immune response that completely protects the pigs against a challenge infection. In F4R(-) pigs such an intestinal mucosal immune response does not occur. However, a priming of the systemic immune system can be seen similar to the priming in pigs fed with the same dose of a food antigen, suggesting that F4 in F4R(-) pigs behaves as a food antigen. The fact that different mucosal immune responses can be induced with soluble F4, makes it an interesting model to study mucosal immune mechanisms in the pig.  相似文献

To screen applicable PCR diagnostic primers of Neosporacaninum based on Nc2 and Nc5 genes,two pairs of primer were designed according to the Nc2 and Nc5 genes sequences conserved region and"Quarantine Protocol For Neosporosis"(SN/T 3499-2013)were applied to verify the characteristic of primers.14 Holstein and 19 Simmental cattles blood DNA were detected using these primers by PCR to select specific primers which would be used to establish the new detection method and understand the neosporiasis infection rate of different local cattle farms.The results showed that 105,128 and 231 bp gene fragments were amplified using three pairs of primers,which were consistent with the expected fragment size.The F1/R1 and SN/T 3499 F/SN/T 3499 R minimum detectable amount both were 19.9 fg/ μL and the minimum amount of F2/R2 was 199 fg/ μL,indicating that F1/R1 and SN/T 3499 F/SN/T 3499 R were more sensitive than F2/R2.The bands were bright when used F1/R1,F2/R2 primers to amplify 19.9 pg/μL and 199 fg/μL DNA samples,proving two primers had good repeatability.6 positive samples were detected among 33 blood samples,and the positive rate was 21.43% and 15.79%,the recombination rate was 100%.It showed that F1/R1 and F2/R2 primer were both suitable to detect eneosporosis by PCR and the method was preliminary established.The condition of local cattle Neosporacaninum infections were learned.This study could provide a scientific basis for the effective prevention and control of neosporosis.  相似文献

SUMMARY Confirmation of the occurrence of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV1) abortion in both epizootic and sporadic form epizootic in Australia for the first time in 1977 against a background in which a reasonably diligent search for such viruses during the preceeding 11 years failed to associate EHV1 with abortion, provided a special opportunity to compare the properties of the newly isolated foetal (F) strains with a collection of endemic respiratory (R) strains that had been recovered at fairly regular intervals since 1967. Using plaque size and host cell range all of 7 R strains tested were clearly distinguishable from 7 of 11 F isolates. The remaining 4 F strains had plaque diameters of R strains but 3 of the 4 viruses conformed in their host cell range with F strains. Only one F isolate (from Tasmania) had both plaque morphology and host cell range of R strain viruses. The mean diameter of plaques produced by R strains in equine foetal kidney (EFK) cells after 4 days under a methyl cellulose overlay was 1.52 mm (range 1.30–1.84 mm) while the mean diameter of small plaques produced by F strains was 0.82 mm (range 0.68–0.91 mm). In addition to EFK cells all R and F strains grew in an equine dermal (EDerm) cell line and all but two of 19 isolates grew in a pig kidney (PK) cell line. None of the low passage R strains grew in bovine embryo tracheal (EBTr) or feline embryo (FEmb) cells whereas all but one of 11 F isolates grew in EBTr cells. 8/11F isolates also grew in FEmb cell line. Growth of viruses at 33° and 40.5°cf. a usual growth temperature of 37° was of no detectable value in differentiating R and F strains of EHV1. In a limited geographic and time frame the criteria of plaque size in EFK cells and growth in EBTr cells unambiguously distinguished between R and F isolates and represent simple markers worthy of additional study.  相似文献

F18(+)Escherichia coli have the ability to colonize the gut and cause oedema disease or post-weaning diarrhoea by adhering to specific F18 receptors (F18R) on the porcine epithelium. Although it is well established that a DNA polymorphism on base pair 307 of the FUT1 gene, encoding an alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase, accounts for the F18R phenotype, the F18R nature is not elucidated yet. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the presence of H-2 histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) or its derivative A-2 HBGAs on the porcine gut epithelium and F18(+)E. coli adherence. A significant positive correlation was found between expression of both the H-2 (r=0.586, P<0.01) and A-2 (r=0.775, P<0.01) HBGAs and F18(+)E. coli adherence after examination of 74 pigs aged from 0 to 23 weeks. The majority of the genetically resistant pigs (FUT1M307(A/A)) showed no HBGA expression (91.7%) and no F18(+)E. coli adherence (83.3%). In addition, it was found that F18R expression levels rise with increasing age during the first 3 weeks after birth and that F18R expression is maintained in older pigs (3-23 weeks old). Taken together, these data suggest that, apart from H-2 HBGAs, A-2 HBGAs might be involved in F18(+)E. coli adherence.  相似文献

Dogs have become one of the most important companion animals in modern society. However, it is estimated that 20% to 40% of owned dogs are obese, suggesting that obesity has become one of the most important canine health problem. In addition, obesity in dogs also leads to type II diabetes. Because the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) has been shown to be essential in maintaining energy homeostasis in several different species, including rodents and humans, we initiated studies toward elucidating the roles of MC4R in obesity pathogenesis in dogs. Canine MC4R has been cloned, and a missense variant V213F was identified. We designed primers and successfully cloned canine MC4R and generated the variant V213F by site-directed mutagenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate the pharmacological properties of canine MC4R and its natural variant V213F. We measured ligand binding and signaling properties with the use of both natural and synthetic ligands. Human MC4R was also included in the experiments for comparison. Both wild-type canine MC4R and its natural variant V213F functioned normally in terms of binding and signaling. Of the ligands we used, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone is the most potent ligand. We conclude that the cloned canine MC4R is a functional receptor, and the natural variant V213F does not have any functional defect and therefore is not likely to cause obesity in dogs.  相似文献

IGF-1 plays a key role in the proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells. However, the molecular mechanism of IGF-1 action in avian granulosa cells during follicle maturation is unclear. Here, we first studied IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression, IGF-1-induced progesterone production and some IGF-1R signaling pathways in granulosa cells from different follicles. IGF-1R (mRNA and protein) was higher in fresh or cultured granulosa cells from the largest follicles (F1 or F2) than in those from smaller follicles (F3 or F4). In vitro, IGF-1 treatment (10(-8)M, 36h) increased progesterone secretion by four-fold in mixed F3 and F4 (F3/4) granulosa cells and by 1.5-fold in F1 granulosa cells. IGF-1 (10(-8)M, 30min)-induced increases in tyrosine phosphorylation of IGF-1R beta subunit and phosphorylation of ERK were higher in F1 than in F3/4 granulosa cells. Interestingly, IGF-1 stimulation (10(-8)M, 10min) decreased the level of AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation in F1 and F3/4 granulosa cells. We have recently showed that AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a protein kinase involved in the steroidogenesis in chicken granulosa cells. We then studied the effects of AMPK activation by AICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside), an activator of AMPK, on IGF-1-induced progesterone secretion by F3/4 and F1 granulosa cells. AICAR treatment (1mM, 36h) increased IGF-1-induced progesterone secretion, StAR protein levels and decreased ERK phosphorylation in F1 granulosa cells. Opposite data were observed in F3/4 granulosa cells. Adenovirus-mediated expression of dominant negative AMPK totally reversed the effects of AICAR on IGF-1-induced progesterone secretion, StAR protein production and ERK phosphorylation in both F3/4 and F1 granulosa cells. Thus, a variation of energy metabolism through AMPK activation could modulate differently IGF-1-induced progesterone production in F1 and F3/4 granulosa cells.  相似文献

1. To determine if selection for early response to photostimulation could be successful, 150 male broiler breeders were photostimulated at 8 weeks of age. The first 20 to produce a semen sample and have a reddened comb with an area > 10 cm2 were selected as responders (R) and 20 birds that did not show these signs of sexual development were chosen as non-responders (NR). Once sexually mature, 8 birds from each group that consistently produced a semen sample were mated with both egg-type hybrids and broiler breeder females to observe the response to 8-week photostimulation in the as-hatched offspring. 2. The AFE of the F1 females with NR or R paternity and egg-type hybrid layer maternity (F1L) were similar, but AFE was advanced in birds from R relative to NR paternity when they had broiler breeder maternity (F1B). 3. Date following a normal distribution of AFE were extracted from the overall data set. This group included offspring from both NR and R paternity, but AFE in F1L and F1B females with R paternity was advanced compared to those with NR paternity. 4. Mean testis weights, or age at most rapid testis growth predicted using parameters from Tyler and Gous (2009), of F1 males were not significantly different in birds with NR or R paternity. A strong correlation was found between predicted age at most rapid growth and AFE of full sibs and so it is likely that an advance in AFE in female offspring would also result in an advance in age of testis development of males. 5. There was no significant difference in 21-d body weight of F1B females of NR or R paternity, but the 21-d body weights of F1L females were higher from R than from NR sires, suggesting that although fertility and meat-type traits are often negatively correlated, there was no adverse effect of selection for responsiveness to early photostimulation and broiler growth rates to 21 d. 6. These findings showed that the response to early stimulation is heritable, and should be useful to the broiler breeder industry, where a reduction in photorefractoriness would improve egg production and fertility.  相似文献

In order to establish the mechanism of spray dried plasma powder (SDPP) in improving pig health and performance, a diet containing either 8% SDPP, spray dried immune plasma powder (SDIPP), or control protein (soybean and whey) ration was fed to piglets in an experimental model of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F4 (ETEC) post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD). SDIPP was obtained from pigs immunized with a vaccine containing ETEC fimbrial subunit F4 and heat-labile toxin (LT), and SDPP from non-immunized controls. Average daily growth (ADG) was determined, and daily samples of rectal faeces were assessed for diarrhoea (as percentage of dry matter), and ETEC excretion (in CFU/g). SDPP and SDIPP significantly (p<0.05) reduced diarrhoea, and SDIPP significantly reduced ETEC excretion. ADG was not significantly (p>0.05) affected. After the experiment, 30% of piglets tested F4 receptor positive (F4R+). A significant correlation between F4R status and morbidity was found. In F4R+ animals, SDIPP significantly improved diarrhoea and ADG, and decreased ETEC excretion, and SDPP significantly improved diarrhoea and ADG. Surprisingly, SDPP reduced diarrhoea in F4R+ animals without significant reduction of ETEC excretion, which is most likely related to the presence of anti-LT antibodies in SDPP. The results show that oral protection against ETEC by SDPP is attributable to spontaneous antibodies, in this case anti-LT antibodies. Furthermore, the results indicate that the combination of anti-LT and anti-F4 antibodies as in SDIPP is most effective in ETEC prevention. Finally, the F4R distribution in the herd should be taken into account to correctly assess efficacy.  相似文献

In a 172-d finishing trial (Exp. 1), 210 recently weaned crossbred heifers were allotted to six growth promotant treatment groups, involving implanting initially with Synovex-C (C) or H (H) followed by reimplanting with Finaplix-H (F) or H and F. Melengestrol acetate (MGA) was provided in the diet to four of the treatment groups. Heifers fed MGA and administered only F as the terminal implant had the greatest (P = .01) number of mature ovaries with follicles but also had lower (P = .01) gain/DMI. In a 182-d finishing study (Exp. 2), 270 recently weaned crossbred heifers were allotted to the following six implant (d 0)/ reimplant (d 70) groups using no implant (N), Ralgro (R) or H: N/R, R/H, R/R, N/R, H/H and R/R for Treatments 1 through 6, respectively. On d 70, all heifers were implanted with F. Heifers were fed MGA from d 70 to 182 (Treatments 1, 2, and 3) or for the entire trial (Treatments 4, 5, and 6). Implanting on d 0 increased (P < .05) overall ADG. Differences (P > .05) in performance were not found between MGA treatment groups. Using an H implant/reimplant regimen decreased (P = .01) ovarian and(or) follicular development when compared with an R implant/reimplant regimen. In a 126-d finishing trial (Exp. 3), 360 crossbred yearling heifers were used to evaluate F and estrogen (Implus-H) implants when used in combination with an MGA feeding program. Heifers receiving only F in combination with MGA had greater (P < .05) ADG, whereas all heifers fed MGA had greater (P < .05) gain/DMI than heifers not fed MGA. These data suggest that feeding MGA was not beneficial for young heifers, particularly if they are provided an initial estrogenic implant followed by a second implant. In older (yearling) heifers, increased gains and gain/DMI were obtained by feeding MGA and implanting initially or 56 d later with F.  相似文献

Strains F and R of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) were compared in two laboratory trials for their relative pathogenicity in terms of inducing airsacculitis and antibody production to MG. Chickens exposed to the R strain had significantly higher incidence of air-sac lesions (P less than 0.05) and greater severity of airsacculitis than did chicks exposed to the F strain. In both trials, chickens vaccinated simultaneously with Newcastle disease-infectious bronchitis vaccine and exposed to MG had more severe lesions than did chickens exposed to mycoplasma alone. chickens exposed to the F strain had significantly lower geometric mean hemagglutination-inhibition antibody titers to MG than did chicks exposed to the R strain. Chickens vaccinated simultaneously with Newcastle disease-infectious bronchitis vaccine and exposed to R strain had significantly lower body weights than did chickens in the other group.  相似文献
