Characterization of stage-specific and cross-reactive antigens from Eimeria acervulina by chicken monoclonal antibodies

The characterization of five chicken monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that were developed against apical complex antigens of Eimeria acervulina sporozoites is realized and the mAbs reactivity to merozoites belonging to this species is tested. Using immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA), one mAb (HE-4) that recognized apical antigens common to sporozoites of E. acervulina and E. brunetti bound antigens localized on the apical tip of merozoites from all stages of development examined. The mAb 8E-1, reactive with antigens found on the apical tip of all chicken Eimeria sporozoites, also showed binding to antigens common to merozoites from all generations. Another mAb, 8C-3, which identified an antigen shared by sporozoites apical tip and sporocysts wall of E. acervulina reacted very weak and inconstantly with the merozoites from all generations whereas the mAbs 5D-11 and 8D-2 that recognized antigens shared by the sporozoites of E. acervulina and E. maxima (mAb 5D-11) and E. acervulina and E. brunetti (mAb 8D-2) did not react with the merozoites from any generation. Collectively, these results showed that the invasive stages of chicken Eimeria share cross reactive apical complex antigens which are inter-species and inter-generation-specific that might be components of a potential recombinant vaccine.     

A dominant antigenic epitope on SARS-CoV spike protein identified by an avian single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-expressing phage

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a newly emergent human disease, which requires rapid diagnosis and effective therapy. Among antibody sources, immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major antibody found in chicken eggs and can be used as an alternative to mammalian antibodies normally used in research and immunotherapy. In this study, phage-expressing chicken monoclonal scFv antibody was chosen and characterized with phage display antibody technology. Truncated fragments of SARS-CoV spike protein were cloned in pET-21 vector and expressed in BL-21 Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells. After purification, the purity of these recombinant spike proteins was examined on SDS-PAGE and their identity verified with Western blot analysis using anti-his antibodies and sera from convalescent stage SARS-CoV-infected patients. Using these bacteria-derived proteins to immunize chickens, it was found that polyclonal IgY antibodies in the egg yolk and sera were highly reactive to the immunogens, as shown by Western blot and immunocytochemical staining analysis. A phage displaying scFv library was also established from spleen B cells of immunized chicken with 5 x 10(7) clones. After four panning cycles, the eluted phage titer showed a 10-fold increase. In sequence analysis with chicken germline gene, five phage clones reacted, with large dissimilarities of between 31 and 62%, in the complementarity-determining regions, one dominant phage 4S1 had strong binding to fragment Se-e, located between amino acid residues 456-650 of the spike protein and this particular phage had significantly strong binding to SARS-CoV-infected Vero E6 cells. Based on the results, we conclude that generating specific scFv-expressing phage binders with the phage display system can be successfully achieved and that this knowledge can be applied in clinical or academic research.     

Analysis of cross-reactivity of five new chicken monoclonal antibodies which recognize the apical complex of Eimeria using confocal laser immunofluorescence assay

For Apicomplexa (members) the host cell invasion is realized with the help of the organelles located at the apical tip of parasites. In this research paper the characterization of five chicken monoclonal antibodies (mabs) produced against Eimeria acervulina sporozoites is described. All mabs reacted with molecules belonging to the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites. On immunofluorescence assay (IFA) one mab, 8E-1, recognized an apical tip molecule present on all chicken Eimeria sporozoites, two mabs (8D-2 and HE-4) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of the same two Eimeria species (E. acervulina and E. brunetti), another mab (5D-11) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of other two species (E. acervulina and E. maxima) while one mab (8C-3) identified antigens present on the sporozoites and sporocysts wall of only E. acervulina. Besides the apical tip antigens, two mabs (HE-4 and 8D-2) recognized some proteins located in the anterior half of the sporozoites. Collectively, these mabs proved that the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites share one or more antigens that are expected to play a role in host cell recognition and invasion.     

Specific IgA antibody response to coproantigens of Cryptosporidium parvum in serum and saliva of calves after experimental infection

The antibody response to coproantigens of Cryptosporidium parvum was examined in saliva and sera of calves experimentally infected with C. parvum. Coproantigens of C. parvum with approximate molecular masses of 17, 15 and less than 14kDa were found in the feces of infected calves on day 3 or later, and 60 and 23kDa coproantigens observed between days 4 and 9 post-infection, respectively. The antibody reactivity to the coproantigens was mainly attributable to IgA class antibodies in saliva and was detectable during the convalescent phase of infection. A 15kDa protein isolated from the feces of infected calves by immunoaffinity adsorption using a monoclonal anti C. parvum antibody was recognized by IgA antibodies present in the saliva during the convalescent phase of infection. These results suggest that this coproantigen may be released from C. parvum sporozoites and may induce IgA antibody production in the mucosal immune system of infected calves.     

猪SIgA分泌片的表达及其多克隆抗体的制备

SIgA是评价黏膜免疫的重要指标,分泌片(SC)是SIgA的特有成分,为了更方便的获得大量的SIgA的分泌片,本研究应用RT-PCR方法扩增出SC基因片段,将SC基因片段克隆到pGEX-4T-1原核表达载体上,经酶切和测序验证获得pGEX-4T-1-SC重组质粒;将获得的pGEX-4T-1-SC转化至大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)感受态细胞中,经IPTG诱导表达重组蛋白rSC.重组蛋白rSC经鉴定和纯化后,按常规免疫程序制备多克隆抗体;利用Western blot对抗重组蛋白rSC的多克隆抗体进行鉴定.结果显示,该抗体能特异性识别猪初乳中的SIgA免疫球蛋白,而与猪初乳中的IgG不发生反应.因此,抗SC重组蛋白的多克隆抗体可以作为抗SIgA免疫球蛋白的特异性抗体,为进一步建立SIgA的检测方法及黏膜免疫的研究奠定基础.

Cloning and expression of chicken anemia virus VP3 protein in Escherichia coli

Purification of chicken anemia virus (CAV) VP3 protein, expressed in a prokaryotic expression system as histidine-tagged fusion protein is demonstrated in the present study. CAV particle was obtained from infected liver of chicken and DNA was extracted. The VP3 protein gene was amplified from the extracted DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned. The recombinant expression construct (pTrc-VP3) was identified by PCR and sequencing analysis. Expression of VP3 protein with a molecular mass of approximately 21kDa was confirmed by Western blotting analysis with CAV-specific antibodies. The in vitro expressed VP3 protein was purified to near homogeneity by elution from the gel, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. The purified VP3 protein was recognized by CAV antibodies in a Western blotting assay. This finding indicates that recombinant VP3 expressed in the pTrcHis2 vector system can be used as antigen to detect anti-CAV antibodies.     

鸡胚接种柔嫩艾美耳球虫和堆形艾美耳球虫活卵囊的免疫保护试验

给18日龄鸡胚接种一定剂量的柔嫩艾美耳球虫(Eim eria tenella)和/或堆形艾美耳球虫(E.acervulina)孢子化卵囊,出雏后在无球虫环境中笼养,1~10日龄每天收集各组粪便样本,计数克粪便卵囊数(OPG),并于14日龄时以大剂量同源孢子化卵囊攻虫,以相对增重率(RWG)、饲料转化率(FCR)、相对卵囊产量(ROP)评价免疫保护效果。结果显示,以E.tenella或E.acervulina卵囊免疫18日龄鸡胚,其卵囊排出的潜隐期及达到峰值的时间与1日龄雏鸡接种组相一致,有相似的排卵囊曲线,提示其诱导免疫的建立是在出雏后开始建立的。攻虫后各免疫组的RWG由攻虫对照组的31.9%~51.7%提高到了76.5%~83.6%,RCR由攻虫对照组的4.11~4.89改善为2.72~2.96,ROP降至4.7%~23.5%。结果表明以一定剂量E.tenella和E.acervulina卵囊单独或混合经羊膜腔免疫18日龄鸡胚都可以建立起针对出雏后14日龄同源攻虫的良好免疫保护力。比较混合免疫E.tenella和E.acervulina卵囊组与单一接种E.tenella或E.acervulina卵囊组的免疫效果发现,混合免疫组的各项指标均稍优于后者。     

Generation of recombinant antibody fragments that target canine dendritic cells by phage display technology

One of the main goals in cancer immunotherapy is the efficient activation of the host immune system against tumour cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) can induce specific anti-tumour immune responses in both experimental animal models and humans. However, most preclinical studies using small animal models show only limited correlation with studies carried out in clinical settings, whereas laboratory dogs naturally develop tumours that are biologically and histopathologically similar to their human counterparts. Here, we describe the generation and characterization of recombinant antibodies against canine DCs, isolated using the Tomlinson phage display system. We successfully isolated highly specific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies in a sequential three-step panning strategy involving depletion on canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells followed by positive selection on native canine DCs. This provides the basis for an antibody-based method for the immunological detection and manipulation of DCs and for monitoring antigen-specific immune responses.

Systemic adjuvant effect of cholera toxin in the chicken.

Cholera toxin (CT) is a well-known mucosal adjuvant in mammals, but it does not give conclusive results in chickens. Cells from the chicken immune system may be insensitive to CT activity. Our results showed that intravenously administered CT had strong immunomodulatory effects on chicken antigen-specific T- and B-cell immune responses. Seven and eight days post-inoculation (p.i.), chickens immunized with KLH and CT exhibited a faster and higher specific proliferative response in the spleen after in vitro restimulation than chickens immunized with KLH alone. At the same time, the specific antibody response in serum was significantly higher, with a strong IgG enhancement and a peak of IgA in chickens immunized with KLH and CT. The anti-KLH splenic antibody response in vitro involved a significant increase in specific IgG and IgA isotypes when CT was used as adjuvant. In conclusion, as in mammals, systemic CT demonstrated strong adjuvant properties in chickens enhancing T-cell priming in vivo and, thus, leading to increased specific antibody production, including IgA.     

堆型艾美耳球虫保定株裂殖子3-1E基因的克隆与序列分析

Avian adeno-associated virus-based expression of Newcastle disease virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein for poultry vaccination

The avian adeno-associated virus (AAAV) is a replication-defective nonpathogenic virus member of the family Parvoviridae that has been proved to be useful as a viral vector for gene delivery. The use of AAAV for transgenic expression of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein and its ability to induce immunity in chickens were assessed. Proposed advantages of this system include no interference with maternal antibodies, diminished immune response against the vector, and the ability to accommodate large fragments of genetic information. In this work the generation of recombinant AAAV virions expressing the HN protein (rAAAV-HN) was demonstrated by electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and western blot analysis. Serological evidence of HN protein expression after in ovo or intramuscular inoculation of the recombinant virus in specific-pathogen-free chickens was obtained. Serum from rAAAV-HN-vaccinated birds showed a systemic immune response evidenced by NDV-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and hemagglutination inhibition testing. Positive virus neutralization in embryonated chicken eggs and indirect immunofluorescence detection of NDV infected cells by serum from rAAAV-HN vaccinated birds is also reported. A vaccine-challenge experiment in commercial broiler chickens using a Venezuelan virulent viscerotropic strain of NDV was performed. All unvaccinated controls died within 5 days postchallenge. Protection up to 80% was observed in birds vaccinated in ovo and revaccinated at 7 days of age with the rAAAV-HN. The results demonstrate the feasibility of developing and using an AAAV-based gene delivery system for poultry vaccination.

Macrophages from chickens selected for high antibody response produced more nitric oxide and have greater phagocytic capacity

Macrophages are fundamental cells of the innate immune system, which, through phagocytosis and nitric oxide production, eliminate pathogens. The aim of the present study was to determine if macrophages from chicken families divergently selected to high and low antibodies response differ in nitric oxide production and phagocytic capacity. Blood monocytes derived macrophages were activated with lipopolysaccharide and supernatant from chicken spleen lymphocytes cultured with Concanavalin A (containing chicken interferon). Nitric oxide production was evaluated in culture supernatants. Phagocytic capacity of activated and non-activated macrophages was assayed using yeasts and IgY opsonized sheep red blood cells. Activated and non-activated macrophages from the high antibodies response family produced higher nitric oxide levels, internalized more yeast and significantly more opsonized sheep red blood cells than macrophages from the low antibodies response family. Moreover, activated macrophages became more elongated and widely spread. These findings indicate that macrophages from the high antibodies response family were more active suggesting that the differences in antibody response also depend on macrophage function.

Evaluation of interspecific hybrids of the chicken, guinea fowl, and Japanese quail for innate resistance to coccidia

Experimental chicken/guinea fowl hybrids, guinea fowl, and chickens were orally inoculated with Eimeria acervulina or E. tenella, which are specific for chickens, or with E. grenieri, which is specific for guinea fowl. No intact oocysts were found in feces within 24 hr of inoculation, suggesting that excystation occurred in the normal and abnormal hosts. No oocysts were found in the feces of hybrids during a 9-day postinoculation period. The guinea fowl passed oocysts of guinea fowl coccidia (E. grenieri) but not those of chicken coccidia, and the chickens passed oocysts of chicken coccidia (E. acervulina and E. tenella) but not those of guinea fowl coccidia. Some asexual development (schizogony) occurred in hybrids inoculated with E. tenella, but sexual development (gametogony) did not. In contrast, quail/chicken hybrids became infected with oocysts of chicken coccidia (E. acervulina, E. tenella, and E. maxima) and quail coccidia (E. bateri) and passed a few oocysts during the normal patent period; control chickens and quails became heavily infected with oocysts of chicken and quail coccidia, respectively.     

传染性法氏囊病病毒VP4酵母双杂交诱饵载体的构建及互作宿主细胞蛋白的筛选
