Pseudorabies virus infections in explants of porcine nasal mucosa.

The spread of infection and the morphogenesis of three pseudorabies virus strains were studied in explants of porcine nasal mucosa. Virulent NIA-3 virus was compared with a deletion mutant 2.4N3A, and with a non-virulent Bartha virus. All three virus strains infected nasal epithelial cells. NIA-3 virus particles were enveloped mainly at the inner nuclear membrane; the virus rapidly invaded the stroma, causing widespread necrosis. In contrast, 2.4N3A virus particles were enveloped mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum and the infection spread more slowly. Bartha virus particles were enveloped mainly at the endoplasmic reticulum; the infection spread slowly and remained restricted to the epithelial cells. In situ DNA hybridisation showed an accumulation of Bartha virus DNA in the nucleus 24 hours after inoculation. In nasal mucosa viral virulence seemed directly related to the speed of replication and release of virus from infected cells.

Sensitivity of the standardized pseudorabies virus neutralization test varies with the test strain used.

The effect of altering the strain of the test virus used in the standardized pseudorabies virus neutralization (VN) test on the sensitivity of the assay was evaluated. Comparative VN tests were performed using 4 different strains: the avirulent Bartha parental, the avirulent recombinant Bartha gIIIKa, the moderately virulent Shope (currently used for the VN test at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory, Ames, IA), and the highly virulent P2208 (Funkhauser). A radioimmunoassay and a Western immunoblotting technique were employed to verify the presence of anti-pseudorabies virus (PrV) antibodies in sera. Statistical analysis indicated that replacement of the Shope strain by the Bartha gIIIKa or the P2208 strain resulted in VN titers that were 4.23- and 2.00-fold higher, respectively. Despite these differences, specificity with regard to PrV diagnosis was unaltered. This apparent enhancement of the sensitivity of the PrV VN test would be beneficial for the serologic identification of PrV-infected animals during an eradication effort.     

Efficacy of a pseudorabies virus vaccine based on deletion mutant strain 783 that does not express thymidine kinase and glycoprotein I.

The vaccine efficacy of a genetically engineered deletion mutant strain of pseudorabies virus, strain 783, was compared with that of the conventionally attenuated Bartha strain. Strain 783 has deletions in the genes coding for glycoprotein I and thymidine kinase. In experiment 1, which had a 3-month interval between vaccination and challenge exposure, strain 783 protected pigs significantly (P less than 0.05) better against virulent virus challenge exposure than did the Bartha strain. The growth of pigs vaccinated with strain 783 was not arrested, whereas that of pigs vaccinated with the Bartha strain was arrested for 7 days. Of 8 pigs given strain 783, 4 were fully protected against challenge exposure; none of the pigs given strain Bartha was fully protected. In experiment 2, which had a 3-week interval between vaccination and challenge exposure, the growth of pigs vaccinated with strain 783 was arrested for 3.5 days, whereas that of pigs vaccinated with the Bartha strain was arrested for 6 days. In experiment 3, pigs with moderate titer of maternal antibodies were vaccinated twice IM or once intranasally with either strain 783 or Bartha and were challenge-exposed 3 months after vaccination. Pigs given strain 783 twice IM were significantly (P less than 0.05) better protected than were the other pigs. They had growth arrest of only 6 days, compared with 9 days for pigs of other groups, and shed less virus after challenge exposure. Results of this study indicate that the vaccine based on the deletion mutant strain 783 is more efficacious than is the Bartha strain of pseudorabies virus.     

Role of memory B-cell responses in serum and mucosal fluids of swine for protective immunity against pseudorabies virus.

We examined primary and memory isotype-specific antibody responses directed against pseudorabies virus in serum and mucosal fluids of pigs with and without passively acquired maternal antibody, and we studied the relationship between these responses and protection against virus challenge. Pigs were inoculated intranasally with the virulent NIA-3 strain or the avirulent Bartha strain, or they were inoculated IM with an inactivated vaccine containing the Phylaxia strain. Ten weeks later, all pigs were challenge-exposed intranasally with strain NIA-3. Only pigs that were without passively acquired antibody at the time they were inoculated with virulent virus appeared to have complete protective immunity against challenge exposure, as evidenced by lack of clinical signs of pseudorabies and lack of virus excretion. In contrast, pigs inoculated with strain Bartha or with the inactivated vaccine developed fever, had a period of growth arrest, and excreted virus after challenge exposure. In pigs without passively acquired antibody, intranasal inoculation with strains NIA-3 or Bartha was followed by primary IgM and IgA responses in serum and in oropharyngeal fluid as well as primary IgG1 and IgG2 responses in serum. Intramuscular inoculation with the inactivated vaccine induced primary serum IgM, IgG1, and IgG2 responses, but no mucosal responses. Challenge exposure of pigs that had been inoculated with the Bartha strain or the inactivated vaccine was followed by clear memory responses in serum and in oropharyngeal fluid. In contrast, challenge exposure of pigs that had been inoculated by the virulent NIA-3 strain was not followed by memory responses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Second-generation pseudorabies virus vaccine with deletions in thymidine kinase and glycoprotein genes

A modified-live pseudorabies virus (PRV) vaccine, designated PRV(dlg92/d1tk), with deletions in the thymidine kinase (tk) and glycoprotein-gIII (g92) genes, was derived from the PRV (Bucharest [BUK]-d13) vaccine strain. The vaccine virus also contained a deletion in glycoprotein gI. Despite 3 deletions, PRV(dlg92/d1tk) replicated to high titers in cell culture from 30 C to 39.1 C. Enzyme assays and autoradiography revealed that PRV(dlg92/d1tk) did not induce a functional tk activity in infected tk- RAB(BU) cells (rabbit skin). Rabbit skin cells were infected with PRV(dlg92/d1tk), with vaccine strains derived from BUK or Bartha K strains of PRV or with the virulent Illinois (ILL), Indiana-Funkhauser (IND-F), and Aujeszky (Auj) strains of PRV and were labeled with [3H]mannose from 4 or 5 to 24 hours after infection to investigate whether these viruses induced the synthesis of glycoprotein gIII. Nonionic detergent extracts were prepared and immunoprecipitated with antisera from pigs vaccinated with tk(-)-PRV(BUK-d13) or tk+-Bartha K, pigs vaccinated with tk+-PRV(BUK) strains and then challenge exposed to tk+-PRV(IND-F), naturally infected domestic or feral pigs, and pigs vaccinated with tk-)-PRV(dlg92/d1tk). Mouse monoclonal antibodies against PRV glycoproteins gIII, gp50, and gII were also studied. After immunoprecipitation, labeled PRV-specific proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The PRV glycoprotein-gII complex, but not glycoprotein gIII, was synthesized in PRV(dlg92/d1tk)-infected cells. Glycoprotein gII and gIII were made in cells infected with PRV vaccine strains BUK, Bartha K, and BUK-d13 and with virulent PRV strains ILL, IND-F, and Auj. Cells infected with PRV(dlg92/d1tk) and with PRV strains ILL, IND-F, Auj, Bartha K, BUK, and BUK-d13, excreted into the cell culture medium a highly sulfated glycoprotein gX of about 90 kilodaltons. Antibodies to glycoprotein gIII were not detected in the sera of pigs inoculated with PRV(dlg92/d1tk), but were found in all other swine sera.

Development of an ELISA to differentiate between animals either vaccinated with or infected by Aujeszky's disease virus

The use of two monoclonal antibodies specific for glycoproteins GI and GIII of the pseudorabies virus led to the development of a competitive ELISA which made it possible to differentiate animals infected with pseudorabies virus from animals vaccinated with the strains of the virus Bartha, NAI4 or Norden. A postvaccinal serological response could be detected from three to four weeks after vaccination. After the virulent challenge of these vaccinated pigs an infectious serological response became apparent two weeks after the challenge.

Some characteristics of four attenuated vaccine virus strains and a virulent strain of Aujeszky's disease virus

In the present study four attenuated virus strains, used as vaccines, and a virulent strain of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) were compared with respect to their virulence in mice, their ability to induce virus-specified thymidine kinase (TK) in infected cells, and their cleavage profiles of viral DNA's after treatment with the restriction endonuclease KpnI. The survival time of mice inoculated with the B-KAL or the virulent NIA-3 strain was comparable, whereas the Bartha and BUK strains required significantly longer periods to kill mice. Mice were resistant to the MK-25 strain of ADV. The strains were assayed for TK phenotype by plaque autoradiography after 3H-thymidine labelling of infected cells. MK-25 proved to be the only strain defective in induction of TK in pig kidney cells. Restriction endonuclease analysis of viral DNA's revealed that each vaccine strain showed a characteristic fragment pattern that could easily be differentiated from that of other vaccine and field strains of ADV. The present results demonstrate that the mouse virulence test and the TK assay detect differences in biological properties of ADV strains, but that restriction endonuclease analysis is required for unambiguous identification of vaccine and field strains of ADV.     

Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of two diagnostic tests for antibodies to pseudorabies virus glycoprotein X.

The diagnostic performance of 2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (gX-T, gX-H) for antibodies to pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein X (gX) were evaluated using 311 serum samples from a nonvaccinated quarantined herd. When the standardized virus neutralization (VN) test, which uses the Shope strain (VN Shope), was used as the comparative diagnostic standard, the gX-T test had a 7% false-negative rate and a 52% false-positive rate, and the gX-H test had a 19% false-negative rate and a 19% false-positive rate. When the VN test with a Bartha recombinant strain (VN Bartha gIIIKa) was used as the diagnostic standard, the gX-T test had a 9% false-negative rate and a 26% false-positive rate, and the gX-H test had a 24% false-negative rate and a 11% false-positive rate. Thus, the gX-T test was more sensitive and the gX-H test was more specific. Additional diagnostic tests on 79 serum samples from a noninfected herd did not produce false positives for the gX-H test, but there was an 8% false-positive rate for the gX-T test. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that VN Bartha gIIIKa has higher sensitivity than VN Shope, without losing specificity, and thus is a better comparative diagnostic standard. When adding a suspect range to the gX-T test, using the same criteria as the suspect range for the gX-H test, the false-positive rate of the gX-T test was reduced to 5% when evaluated versus VN Bartha gIIIKa in the infected herd and to 1% for the PRV-negative herd.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Effects of pseudorabies virus infection upon cytotoxicity and antiviral activities of porcine alveolar macrophages

Alveolar macrophages (AM) infected with Pseudorabies virus (PRV) were compared to noninfected AM for cytotoxicity against foreign or transformed cells and production of interferon (IFN). Five PRV strains were used to infect AM including strains that are known to be highly virulent for pigs, i.e. strain 4892 and strain S-62 as well as strains that are regarded as mild or nonvirulent, i.e. BUK and Bartha. The multiplicity of infection ranged from 0.005 to 0.05 TCID₅₀/cell. The target cells in the cytotoxicity assays were either chicken red blood cells, PRV-infected vero cells, or human myeloblastoma cells (K562 cell line). For the producton of IFN, AM cultures were treated with polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) diluted in tissue culture media at a concentration of 5 μg/10⁶ cells. Culture supernatants were collected at various times poststimulation and tested for antiviral activity using the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus replication inhibition test. Swine AM were able to lyse chicken red blood cells in an antibody-independent way but not in an antibody-dependent way, whereas lysis of PRV-infected vero cells was accomplished both ways. The cytotoxicity against chicken red blood cells was reduced in the PRV-infected AM as compared to noninfected cells, particularly in AM infected with virulent PRV strains. Specific ⁵¹Cr release values for AM infected with S-62 and 4892 strains were 14 and 19, while the noninfected AM had values of 36. Similarly, in the antibody-dependent cytotoxicity assay against PRV-infected vero cells there was no activity of AM against K562 cells. The production of IFN was readily stimulated with Poly I:C. The optimal time for supernatant collection was between 12 and 16h poststimulation. The antiviral activity was abrogated by treatment of the supernatant with antiserum against human leukocyte IFN; it was therefore considered to be due to interferon-alpha (IFN) released from the macrophages. The antiviral activity present in supernatants of PRV-infected AM was reduced compared to noninfected AM. The difference between AM cultures infected with virulent strains of PRV and noninfected AM cultures was statistically significant at P 0.025. The results provide support to the premise that the role of AM in lung defense can be compromised by PRV infection.

为了解猪伪狂犬病病毒（porcine pesudorabies virus,PRV）gB和gE基因变异及遗传演化情况,本研究针对PRV FS-2015野毒株,应用"蚀斑法"对组织病料中病毒进行三轮纯化,应用全长扩增引物对FS-2015株gB和gE基因进行全基因扩增,并对PCR产物进行测序和序列分析。结果显示,PRV FS-2015株的gB、gE基因与国内外PRV参考毒株的核苷酸同源性分别为97.0%~100.0%和97.5%~99.7%,氨基酸同源性分别为96.4%~100.0%和95.3%~99.7%。氨基酸变异位点分析表明,FS-2015株的gB和gE基因均有位点突变和缺失。遗传进化分析表明,FS-2015株与国内近几年分离的PRV变异株GY、ZJ01、HB1201、HN1201、JS2012、BJ-YT和BP属于同一分支,同源性较高,亲缘关系较近;与PRV经典株Kaplan、Becker、NIA3、Kolchis、Bartha和Yangsan株属于不同分支,同源性较低,亲缘关系较远。从PRV FS-2015毒株与国内外经典毒株和当前国内流行的变异毒株的分析结果可知,PRV FS-2015毒株发生了一定的变异,属于当前国内流行变异毒株。本研究结果为广东省伪狂犬病分子流行病学调查、伪狂犬病的防控和疫苗株挑选工作提供参考数据。     

2018年伪狂犬病病毒的流行特征及其遗传变异分析

为了了解当前伪狂犬病病毒（PRV）在我国猪群中的流行现状及其遗传变异情况,本研究利用PCR的方法对2018年1-12月来源于我国28个省、市、自治区的1 328份疑似猪伪狂犬病发病猪的组织样品开展了PRV-gE的检测及病毒的分离鉴定,同时针对所分离的病毒的gB、gC和gE基因进行PCR扩增和DNA测序,并展开遗传变异分析。结果显示,共有92份样品为PRV-gE基因检测阳性,阳性检出率为6.93%。从92份PRV-gE阳性样品分离到13株PRV。分别基于gB基因部分片段、gC和gE基因进行遗传变异分析发现13株PRV与我国2012年以后流行的毒株（如HeN1等变异株）亲缘关系较近,而与2012年以前所分离的毒株（如Ea等经典毒株）的亲缘关系较远;此外,绝大多数中国分离株与国外分离毒株（如NIA-3、Bartha、Kaplan等）在遗传进化树中位于不同的进化分支;相对于国外分离株及国内早期流行的经典毒株而言,13株PRV分离株的gB、gC和gE蛋白中均存在许多特征性的氨基酸位点变异。本研究对于了解我国PRV流行现状及当前流行的PRV毒株的生物学特征具有十分重要的意义。     

Field experiments to evaluate the feasibility of eradication of Aujeszky's disease virus by different vaccination schedules.

In the present report, the extent of the reduction in Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) dissemination achieved when pigs were intensively vaccinated with gI-deleted vaccines under field circumstances, was examined. On widely dispersed breeding-fattening farms, a gI-negative status was most rapidly obtained and the rate of new waves of infections was lowest when the attenuated Bartha strain was administered to both the sows and the fatteners. It was more difficult not only to reach but also to keep a gI-negative status on farms on which the sows were vaccinated with an inactivated vaccine and the fatteners with the attenuated Bartha strain or when the fattening pigs were not vaccinated at all. In a densely populated area, 9 of the 17 farms had gI-positive fatteners at the start of the intensive vaccination programme in which the attenuated Bartha strain was given to both the sows and the fatteners. Antibodies were not detected in the sera of the fatteners of each farm at some time during the experiments, but the fatteners on 7 of the 18 farms still showed antibodies against gI after 20 months of vaccination. At the end of the experiment, the percentage of fatteners with antibodies on these farms was markedly reduced compared with the percentage at the start of the experiment. Therefore, elimination of field virus may be feasible if intensive vaccination is carried out over a sufficiently long period of time. However, the high rate of reinfections experienced either due to reintroduction of the virus or to recrudescence should be a warning against too much optimism, particularly in regions with a dense swine population.     

Isolation of bovine adenovirus type 1 from a calf with pneumo-enteritis

During the last decade, an increasing number of bovine adenoviruses have been isolated from calves suffering from more, or less, well-defined syndromes. These have consisted of respiratory disorders of varying severity, enteritis, or a combination of both, which in typical cases has been termed “pneumo-enteritis”. These investigations have been reviewed by Darbyshire (1968). Wilcox (1969) isolated adenoviruses from kerato-conjunctivitis (KC) in cattle. Furthermore, strains have been isolated from apparently healthy animals (Darbyshire 1968), and from tissue cultures prepared from various organs from calves such as kidneys (Scho- pov et al. 1968), and testes (Rondhuis 1968, Bartha & Csontos 1969). At the present time 9 serotypes of bovine adenoviruses exist, as determined by neutralization tests, and these have recently been reviewed by Guenov et al. (1970). However, several strains, some from cases of pneumonia (Cole 1970, Lupini et al. 1970) and others from KC (Wilcox 1969) remain to be typed and compared with the known prototypes, thereby enabling possible new serotypes to be identified. So far, serotypes 1 and 2 (Darbyshire et al. 1969), serotype 3 (Darbyshire et al. 1966) and serotypes 4 and 5 (Aldasy et al. 1965) have been shown to cause pneumo-enteritis, and serotype 6 (Rondhuis 1970) a mild respiratory disease in experimentally infected calves. Similarly, KC has been produced experimentally by Wilcox (1970), while the pathogenicity for experimental animals of the other typed and untyped strains remains to be investigated.     

猪伪狂犬病病毒山西株胸苷激酶基因序列分析

Efficacy of an intranasal immunization with gEgC and gEgI double-deletion mutants of Aujeszky's disease virus in maternally immune pigs and the effects of a successive intramuscular booster with commercial vaccines

In this study, an intranasal immunization strategy was set up in maternally immune pigs in order to protect them not only clinically but also virologically. Two genetically engineered Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) strains, Kaplan gE-gI- and Kaplan gE-gC-, were used for intranasal immunization. Both strains were safe for 4-week-old pigs. A single intranasal inoculation of 10(6.0) TCID50 of Kaplan gE-gI- and Kaplan gE-gC- at 4 weeks of age in the presence of moderate titres of maternally derived antibodies (SN titres: 12-16) reduced the amount of weight loss, fever and virus excretion upon challenge 6 weeks later. In a second experiment, the effect of an additional intramuscular booster with three different commercial vaccines (containing attenuated Bartha or NIA3-783 or inactivated Phylaxia; all suspended in an oil-in-water emulsion) at 10 weeks of age was evaluated. One month after the last intramuscular booster, between five and seven pigs from each group were selected for challenge. All intranasally/intramuscularly immunized pigs showed a significantly better clinical and virological protection after challenge than the single intranasally immunized pigs. In the double immunized group, the protection was better when Kaplan gE-gC- was used for the intranasal priming (only two of 14 pigs excreted virus with a duration of 4 days) than when Kaplan gE-gI- was used (13 of 18 pigs excreted virus with a duration ranging from 1 to 4 days). The virological protection was not influenced by the type of vaccine used for booster vaccination. Because the intranasal/intramuscular immunization approach is very compatible with current pig movements on farms and pigs with moderate levels of maternally derived antibodies can effectively be immunized, it can be considered as a good alternative to intramuscular/intramuscular vaccinations especially in regions with a high ADV prevalence.     

一株猪伪狂犬病病毒变异株的分离鉴定

为了解广东省猪伪狂犬病病毒（pseudorabies virus，PRV）野毒株的基因变异及遗传演化的情况，本试验对广东佛山疑似暴发伪狂犬病的猪场采集的病料（脑、肺脏、扁桃体、肝脏、脾脏）进行了PCR鉴定，初步鉴定为PRV毒株后，将阳性病料接种非洲绿猴肾细胞（Vero），进行毒株传代培养，对分离毒株进行PCR检测及小鼠感染试验，证实该病毒为PRV，并命名为PRV FS-2015株；并对该毒株进行细胞病变观察、病毒TCID₅₀测定、毒株gC和TK基因扩增及序列分析。结果显示，PRV FS-2015株TCID₅₀为10^-7.5/0.1 mL。PRV FS-2015株的gC和TK基因序列与国内外PRV参考毒株进行同源性比对分析发现，其核苷酸序列同源性分别为95.8%~100.0%和99.4%~100.0%，氨基酸同源性分别为92.3%~100.0%和98.7%~100.0%。遗传进化分析表明，PRV FS-2015株与国内近几年分离的PRV变异株GY、ZJ01、HB1201、HN1201、JS2012、BJ/YT和BP属于同一分支，同源性较高，亲缘关系更近；但与PRV经典株Kaplan、Becker、NIA3、Kolchis、Bartha、Yangsan、Min-A、SS和SL株的同源性较低，基因变异较大，表明PRV FS-2015毒株属于近几年流行的变异株。本研究结果可为广东省伪狂犬病的防控工作和疫苗株的选择提供科学依据。     

猪伪狂犬病病毒双基因缺失突变株(HB-98株)安全性、稳定性和免疫原性测定

对以伪狂犬病病毒鄂A株为亲本毒株构建的TK和gG双基因缺失突变株（PrV HB-98株）的增殖能力、安全性、毒力稳定性和免疫原性进行了测定。结果表明，PrV HB-98株在BHK-21细胞上的增殖滴度为10^7.0 TCID50／0．1mL以上，与亲本毒株相当，但高于Bartha株；与PrV鄂A株相比，病毒量为10^7.0TCID50的PrV HB-98株不引起BALB／c小鼠的死亡，毒力也低于Bartha株；将PrV HB-98株在PK-15细胞连续培养25代和在猪体内上连续继代5次，各代次突变株TK基因和LacZ基因能被稳定扩增，未出现毒力回复现象．表明该毒株具有良好的遗传稳定性；以10^5.0、10^6.0、10^7.0TCID50等3个不同剂量的PrV HB-98株接种于妊娠50～60d母猪和1日龄仔猪，母猪均能正常产仔．仔猪也未出现任何临床症状，证明该毒株有较好的安全性。另外，以10^5.0TCID50的PrV HB-98株接种于妊娠50～60d母猪和1日龄仔猪，分别于接种后28d和20d，用10^7.0TCID50 PrV鄂A强毒进行攻击．结果免疫猪都能抵抗强毒的攻击．获得保护，表明该毒株具有很强的免疫原性。综合上述结果表明，PrV HB-98株可以作为候选毒株．用于伪狂犬病基因工程疫苗的研制。
