A novel oligonucleotide probe for the detection of Newcastle disease virus.

An approach that possesses high specificity and broad applicability was used to obtain a DNA probe with potential diagnostic value. By utilizing synthesized oligonucleotide DNA, termed NDV probe, all 14 strains of NDV tested under high-stringency conditions were recognized in a slot-blot hybridization assay. The sequence of the NDV probe was generated from a highly conserved region of the NDV genome. No hybridization was observed with RNA isolated from other avian viruses, including avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and infectious bronchitis. The specificity inherent in using an oligonucleotide probe offers advantages over probes obtained from cloned DNA fragments.     

应用生物素标记的NDV－cDNA探针检测感染尿囊液中NDV－RNA的初步研究

本文应用聚合酶链反应（ＰＣＲ）技术从构建的新城疫病毒（ＮＤＶ）ｃＤＮＡ文库中扩增含编码Ｆ糖蛋白前体──Ｆｏ酶切位点序列的３５９ｂｐ的Ｆ蛋白基因ｃＤＮＡ片段。将此３５９ｂｐｃＤＮＡ片段经光敏生物素标记后,即成ＮＤＶ－ｃＤＮＡ探针。该探针能特异性地从感染的尿囊液中检测出ＮＤＶ强毒株和疫苗毒株的基因组ＲＮＡ,而不与ＩＢＤｖ－ｄｓＲＮＡ、ＡＩＢｖ－ｓｓＲＮＡ、ＥＤＳ７６－ｄｓＤＮＡ、ＭＤＶ－ｄｓＤＮＡ,ＦＰＶ－ｄｓＲＮＡ及ＡＩＬＶ－ｄｓＤＮＡ发生交叉杂交反应。试验结果表明：尽管该探钎含有编码Ｆｏ蛋白酶切位点序列的碱基顺序,但它还是不能把ＮＤＶ的强、弱毒株区分开。这说明ＮＤＶ强、弱毒株比区域内的碱基存在着相当大的同源性。不过,此探针对ＮＤＶ来说具有特异性,这就为ＮＤＶ的诊断技术开创了基因水平检测的新途径。     

鸡呼吸道传染病基因芯片诊断方法的建立

随着养禽业集约化程度的不断提高,鸡呼吸系统疾病的发生呈逐年上升趋势.而且大多数的呼吸道疾病不是单一病原感染,而是多种病原混合感染,从临床上难以及时鉴别诊断,延误防治时机,从而给养禽业造成巨大的经济损失.因此,禽呼吸道疾病已经成为生产和研究中的一类重要疾病.目前,禽呼吸系统疾病的诊断方法主要有病毒分离、血凝（HA）、血凝抑制（HI）、琼脂扩散、ELISA、PCR等,但是传统的检测方法灵敏度较低,而且当病原发生变异或感染禽处在潜伏期时会造成误诊.PCR方法每次只能检测一种病毒,费时费力.采用基因芯片的方法可以快速、准确地同步检测多种病原体,且需要样品量少、灵敏、特异、快速、费用低廉,将生物芯片技术用于禽呼吸道疾病诊断意义重大.     

鸡传染性喉气管炎病毒PCR诊断方法的建立与应用

根据GenBank登录的传染性喉气管炎病毒(ILTV)的TK基因序列设计并合成1对特异性引物,以ILTV疫苗株DNA为模板,建立了检测ILTV TK基因的PCR方法。应用该方法能从临床分离毒株和疫苗株中扩增到长为427 bp的目的片段;但不能从新城疫病毒(NDV)、传染性法氏囊病毒(IBDV)、禽呼肠孤病毒(ARV)、减蛋综合征病毒(EDSV)、H9亚型禽流感病毒(H9-AIV)、传染性支气管炎病毒(IBV)、大肠杆菌以及金黄色葡萄球菌等病原中扩增出阳性条带;敏感性试验表明其DNA最小检出量为4.9 ng;应用该方法和病毒分离法对2份临床病例和人工感染鸡的检测,两者符合率为100%。上述结果表明该PCR方法具有良好的特异性和敏感性,可用于传染性喉气管炎病毒鉴定和临床诊断。

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for infectious bursal disease virus.

The application of the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of infectious bursal disease virus antibodies in chicken serum was investigated. The test procedure involved the coating of concentrated infectious bursal disease virus antigen onto polystyrene tubes, followed by the addition of chicken anti-infectious bursal disease virus serum and horseradish peroxidase labeled rabbit anti-chicken globulin. As an indicator substrate, 5-aminosalicylic acid, with the oxidant H2O2 was added. The reaction was stopped by 3M NaOH and the colour intensity of the reaction mixtures read in a spectrophotometer at 449 nm. The ELISA test was found to be a precise, sensitive and reproducible means of measuring infectious bursal disease virus antibodies in chicken and turkey sera.

Further studies on the immunization of chickens with temperature-sensitive Mycoplasma gallisepticum mutant

Newly hatched chickens were immunized with a temperature-sensitive (TS) Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) mutant (TS 100). Immunized chickens resisted challenge with the virulent S6 strain. The dose of TS MG needed for protection was less than 3.3 X 10(4) colony-forming units. After immunization with TS 100, chickens were subjected to a variety of virus infection and immunosuppressive treatments. Neonatal bursectomy or thymectomy, infectious bursal disease virus infection, and infectious bronchitis virus vaccination or a combination of infectious bronchitis virus and Newcastle disease virus vaccination did not contribute to the development of air-sac lesions in TS MG-immunized chickens. Infectious bronchitis virus vaccination enabled MG to migrate from the nasal cavity to the trachea but not to the air sacs. The TS MG vaccine appears to be a safe immunogen.     

Hematology, plasma chemistry, serology, and Chlamydophila status of the waved albatross (Phoebastria irrorata) on the Galapagos Islands.

Venipuncture was performed on 50 adult, free-ranging waved albatrosses (Phoebastria irrorata) on Espa?ola, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, to establish hematologic and plasma biochemistry reference ranges and to determine the prevalence of exposure to important domestic avian pathogens. Weights and plasma creatine phosphokinase activities differed significantly between males and females. Serum was tested for evidence of exposure to avian influenza, avian paramyxoviruses 1, 2, and 3, avian cholera, adenovirus groups 1 and 2, avian encephalomyelitis, Marek's disease, infectious bursal disease, and infectious bronchitis virus (Connecticut and Massachusetts strains). Of 44 birds, 29 (66%) seroreacted to adenovirus group 1, and four seroreacted to avian encephalomyelitis. Cloacal swabs were negative for Chlamydophila psittaci DNA.     

Recent advances in avian virology.

Detection of infectious bursal disease viruses using in situ hybridization and non-radioactive probes.

The in situ hybridization assay was developed for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infections in chickens. Bursal tissue samples were harvested 4 days following infection with the ST-C, MD, E, IN, or SAL IBDV strain. The cDNA clones STC-243, located on genome segment A, and STC-119, located on genome segment B, were used to prepare non-radioactive probes. Probes were labeled with digoxigenin and detected the homologous ST-C virus and also heterologous viruses in bursal tissue sections. No positive cells were observed in tissue sections from uninfected control chickens.
