Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis isolates from South America

One hundred seventy-eight isolates of Mycobacterium bovis were subjected to DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, using the direct repeat element (DR) and the polymorphic GC-rich repeat sequence (PGRS) as probes. By combining the patterns generated by the two repeat DNA elements, 93 different patterns were observed. One hundred-one isolates were grouped in clusters, which include 25 different clusters. One pattern was the most frequently observed, clustering 18.5% of isolates. It was only found in the Center and northeast regions of Argentina and in one isolate from Paraguay. The isolates from Brazil analyzed here presented exclusive patterns (only found in a particular region). The number of exclusive patterns was high in all Argentine regions: northeast 78%, center 81%, and Buenos Aires 81%.     

Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit to detect Babesia bovis antibodies in cattle

The sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antibodies; to Babesia bovis was evaluated in 1000 sera from Holstein heifers. Five hundred of them were from cattle naturally or experimentally infected with B. bovis and 500 from uninfected heifers born and raised in a region free of the vector of cattle babesiosis. Additionally, the ELISA was evaluated and compared with an indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test in 374 heifers inoculated with different kinds of B. bovis antigens in four trials. The cross-reaction was also evaluated in 50 heifers infected with Babesia bigemina and 50 heifers infected with Anaplasma marginale. The mean percentage positivity of negative sera in relation to the ELISA strong positive sera was 8%. The seropositive/seronegative cutoff point was set as twice the mean percentage positivity of negative cattle sera ( = 16%). The sensitivity of the ELISA was 98% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 96–99%. The specificity was 95% (CI 93–97%). The agreement was 97% and the kappa value was 0.93. The predictive values of positive and negative results were 95% and 98% respectively. ELISA showed a similar sensitivity to that of the IFA test to detect antibodies to different B. bovis antigens. Its sensitivity ranged from 97.1% to 100% (CI 89–100%), while the sensitivity of the IFA test ranged from 92.8% to 100% (CI 83–100%). ELISA cross-reacted in 8% and 6% of the sera carrying B. bigemina and A. marginale antibodies, respectively, while the IFA showed 4% cross-reaction in each situation. The ELISA evaluated has the advantages of a proper sensitivity, objectivity and capacity to be adapted to test large number of samples in a short period of time. The results indicate that the ELISA is a suitable replacement for the IFA test to detect B. bovis antibodies in cattle sera, especially in epidemiological studies.     

Evaluation of an ELISA for detection of antibodies to Babesia bovis in cattle in Australia and Zimbabwe

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibodies to Babesia bovis was evaluated in comparison with the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) in Australia and Zimbabwe. Positive and negative threshold values for the ELISA were set using sera from cattle of known infection status. Sensitivity and specificity estimates for the ELISA based on 158 positive sera from cattle experimentally infected with Australian isolates of B. bovis and 318 negative sera collected from B. bovis-free herds in Australia were 100% and 99.4%, respectively. The specificity of the assay in Africa, based on 328 sera from B. bovis-free herds in Kenya and South Africa, was 99.7%. The ELISA was compared with the IFAT using sequential sera from 16 calves experiencing primary B. bovis infections, and a total of 777 field sera collected from B. bovis-endemic herds in Australia and Zimbabwe. In primary infections, the ELISA and IFAT detected antibodies at or about the same time. With sera from endemic herds, the performance of the ELISA was at least comparable with that of the IFAT. Two hundred and fourteen of 221 sera that were negative by IFAT, were negative by ELISA, and 428 of 439 sera that were clearly positive by IFAT were positive by ELISA. Of 117 sera that gave equivocal (suspect or weak positive) results in the IFAT, 20 were positive by ELISA, 7 were suspect and 90 were negative. We conclude that the ELISA will be useful for epidemiological studies on B. bovis in Australia and Zimbabwe, and probably elsewhere.

Preparation and Identification of the Monoclonal Antibodies against VspX Protein in Mycoplasma bovis strain HB0801

To obtain the monoclonal antibody (McAb) against VspX protein of Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis),VspX gene was amplified, expressed and purified. Then, BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously three times with the purified recombinant VspX (rVspX) mixed with QuickAntibody-Mouse 5W adjuvant. Three days after the last injection, spleen cells were collected aseptically, and fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells in the presence of polyethylene glycol. By the clone selection, five stable hybridomas against VspX protein were obtained, separately named as 1A8, 3A3, 3C12, 3H9 and 4D11. Antibody titers in cell supernatant were from 1:1×10⁴ to 1:2×10⁵, while from 1:1×10⁵ to 1:8×10⁵ in ascites of mice by indirect ELISA. The subtypes were determined to be IgG1 and IgG2b class, and all light chains were κ chain. The affinity constant of McAb 3H9 and 4D11 were 6.3×10⁹ and 7.8×10⁹, respectively, and they belonged to high-affinity antibodies. Western blotting results showed that all of five McAbs could specifically react with M.bovis, however, McAb 4D11 could not react with Mycoplasma arginini PG2 and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. PG3. Flow cytometry showed that McAb 4D11 reacted with surface VspX of M. bovis in a dose-dependent manner. Indirect immunofluorescence assay demonstrated that 4D11 McAb was able to detect rVspX protein binding to embryonic bovine lung cells. In the present study, McAbs against rVspX protein had been successfully prepared, which provided a basis for future researches about the function of VspX protein and the pathogenesis of M. bovis.

Identification of an immunodominant 40 kDa merozoite antigen common to the Australian T and Dixie vaccine strains of Babesia bovis and the development of diagnostic tests specific for these strains

Antigenic differences among Australian vaccine and field strains of Babesia bovis were investigated in an attempt to identify strain specific antigens. Immunoblots revealed substantial differences between the current vaccine strains, designated T and Dixie, and previous vaccine strains and field isolates collected on properties where vaccination with the T or Dixie strains had failed to provide complete protection against tick-borne challenge. A major difference was an immunodominant 40 kDa antigen (T40) present in only the T and Dixie strains. The molecular weight and immunodominant nature of this antigen suggest that it may be the equivalent of the major merozoite surface antigen (MSA-1) described by others in North American strains of B. bovis. MSA-1 was shown to be conserved in north American isolates but not in an isolate from Israel or in the Australian S and L isolates. The work presented here suggests that merozoite surface antigen diversity exists among geographically different isolates of B. bovis within Australia.

Monospecific antiserum to T40 was used to develop an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test specific for T and Dixie strain parasites, and a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) specific for antibody to the T and Dixie strains. In cases of babesiosis in recently vaccinated cattle, the IFA test will be a useful tool for determining whether clinical symptoms are due to a severe vaccine reaction or to a concurrent tick-borne infection. In a preliminary assessment of potential of the ELISA for the serological identification of vaccinated cattle using a total of 160 sera, the test clearly differentiated between animals vaccinated with the T or Dixie strains and non-vaccinated animals, and was not affected by presence of antibodies to other B. bovis strains.     

非典型性肺炎S蛋白抗原决定簇序列的串联合成和表达

牛支原体新基因(P18)的克隆表达及活性鉴定

牛支原体(M.bovis)可以引起犊牛肺炎、关节炎、乳腺炎、角膜结膜炎等疾病,是一种牛的重要呼吸道病原体,目前M.bovis粘附宿主细胞的机制还不明确。研究表明,M.bovis表面存在的多种蛋白与致病菌在宿主体内的侵袭力与传播能力有关。我们通过分离表达多个M.bovis基因,最终获得了一个表达纤溶酶原结合蛋白的新基因,并命名为P18。该基因表达大小约为67ku的重组蛋白。通过western blot鉴定,重组表达的P18蛋白可以被M.bovis抗体识别。进一步的试验表明,P18蛋白还具有纤溶酶原结合活性,从而推测该基因表达的蛋白可能是M.bovis的一个粘附相关因子。     

宁夏地区牛支原体药物敏感性分析

[目的]提高牛支原体病治疗效果。[方法]应用微量肉汤稀释法对宁夏地区分离鉴定的74株牛支原体进行药物敏感性分析。[结果]恩诺沙星的MIC分布范围最小,MIC₅₀与MIC₉₀最小,其次是大观霉素、庆大霉素和卡那霉素;试验菌株对大观霉素的耐药率最低（12%）,其次为恩诺沙星（22%）,对庆大霉素和卡那霉素的耐药率最高且相同（36%）;肺分离株耐药性最强,关节液分离株次之,乳汁分离株最弱。[结论]恩诺沙星对牛支原体的体外抑菌效果最好,但易产生耐药性,应注意用药剂量和时长;肺分离株耐药性最强可能与呼吸道感染牛支原体的概率大且频繁使用抗生素有关。     

Immunoblot analysis of cyanogen bromide-cleaved Moraxella bovis pilin reveals presence of shared antigenic determinants on pili from heterologous strains

Moraxella bovis pilus proteins, collected and purified from four strains of M. bovis, were cleaved with cyanogen bromide. Two major fragments were produced. Antisera were produced in rabbits to the pilin protein fragments and to whole uncleaved pili from these strains. Immunoblots of whole and cyanogen bromide-cleaved pilin were reacted with the homologous and heterologous antisera to whole pili and cleaved pilin. Antisera to whole pili reacted strongly with homologous pilin. Weaker and inconsistent reactions were detected with heterologous pilin. Antisera produced to cyanogen bromide-cleaved pilin proteins reacted strongly with homologous and heterologous pilin fragments and uncleaved pilin proteins. These findings demonstrate the presence of conserved antigenic determinants on pili from heterologous strains that are non-immunogenic in the intact pilus but are immunogenic after treatment with cyanogen bromide. Cyanogen bromide-treated pilus preparation might have potential as a vaccine because antibodies are induced against heterologous strains of M. bovis, whether these cross-reactive antibodies are protective remains to be determined.

A study of cattle-to-cattle transmission of Mycobacterium bovis infection

Twenty steers, positive to the single intradermal comparative tuberculin test (SICTT), were selected fromherds with a recent history of Mycobacterium bovis infection. Ten steers, negative to SICTT, were selected from herds with no history of M. bovis infection and served as in-contact animals. The animals were divided into 10 groups, each consisting of two SICTT-positive (reactor) animals and one in-contact animal. Each group was housed in an individual loose-box for a period of 1 year. Five of the groups were fed a restricted diet for part of the experiment. All cattle were slaughtered at the end of the study period and examined at post mortem. Transmission of infection to an in-contact animal occurred in four of the 10 groups. One of the four in-contact animals, which became infected, had a retropharyngeal lymph node tubercle and M. bovis was isolated from lymph nodes without visible lesions from the other three. Two of the infected in-contact animals without visible lesions did not show any detectable cell-mediated immune response. There was no evidence that dietary, restriction had any effect on transmission of disease.
