Seroprevalence of subtype H3 influenza A virus in South Korean cats

To investigate the potential transmission of subtype H3 influenza virus to cats, a serological survey was carried out in South Korea. Serum samples (n = 1027) were obtained from 809 pet cats and 218 domesticated cats living in urban colonies (D-cats) from 2008 to 2010, and tested using an influenza anti-nucleoprotein (NP)-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, which was recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health. Anti-influenza virus antibodies were detected in 3.12% and 2.43% of cat sera tested using the NP-specific ELISA and HI test, respectively. Anti-H3 antibodies were also identified when the HI assay was used for influenza virus serotyping. These data may indicate the sporadic transmission of subtype H3 influenza virus from other infected species to cats in South Korea.

Evaluation of immunogenicity and protective efficacy of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae HB04C(-) mutant lacking a drug resistance marker in the pigs

Previously, we reported the construction and characterization of a genetically defined Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A. pleuropneumoniae) apxIIC gene mutant, HB04C(-), which conferred protection to mice against infection with A. pleuropneumoniae. In this study, we further evaluated HB04C(-) for safety and its ability to elicit protective immunity in pigs. It was demonstrated that a dose of 2 x 10(8) CFU HB04C(-) was safe to the pigs via intranasal or intramuscular injection. Immunization with a dose of 2 x 10(8) HB04C(-) by both intranasal and intramuscular routine could yield equal protective efficacy and elicited significant protection against experiment challenge with homologous or heterologous serotypes of a virulent A. pleuropneumonia. Taken together, HB04C(-) might serve as a promising vaccine candidate against infection with A. pleuropneumoniae.     

中草药复方“健肝散”中水飞蓟宾含量的高效液相色谱法测定

采用十八烷基硅烷键合硅胶柱Welchrom-C18(4.6mm×250mm,5μm)为色谱柱,柱温30℃,流动相为乙腈-甲醇-5mL/L醋酸溶液(体积比为16∶26∶58),流速为1.00mL/min,检测波长287nm,进样量10μL。结果表明,水飞蓟宾的进样量在0.219μg～5.475μg(r=0.999 999,n=6)范围内与其峰面积积分值呈良好的线性关系,平均加样回收率为101.211%(n=6)。表明建立的高效液相色谱法快速、准确,重现性和精密度均良好,可为中草药复方"健肝散"的质量控制和评价提供技术支撑。

成都麻羊乳上皮黏蛋白MUC1的遗传多态性研究

采用SDS-PAGE研究成都麻羊乳上皮黏蛋白MUC1的遗传多态性,并以金堂黑山羊、乐至黑山羊、自贡黑山羊、藏山羊作对照进行比较分析。结果表明:成都麻羊与对照山羊乳MUC1的多态性丰富,成都麻羊有7种基因型、5个等位基因优势基因为C、D、E,金堂黑山羊7种基因型、6个等位基因优势基因为B、C、D,乐至黑山羊6种基因型、6个等位基因优势基因为B、C、D,自贡黑山羊5种基因型、5个等位基因优势基因为A、C、D,藏山羊3种基因型、3个等位基因优势基因为C、D。乳MUC1的基因型、等位基因的分布品种间有差异;根据乳MUC1等位基因频率对供试山羊品种进行聚类分析,成都麻羊与金堂黑山羊的遗传距离最小(D=0.2507)先聚为一类,再依次与乐至黑山羊(D=0.2831)、自贡黑山羊(D=0.3721)、藏山羊(D=0.4752)聚为一大类,结果较好的反映了成都麻羊与对照山羊品种间的亲缘关系。     

伪狂犬病病毒Ea株UL18基因的克隆、序列分析及表达

本研究以伪狂犬病病毒Ea株基因组DNA为模板,PCR扩增含ULl8全长基因的片段并克隆至pMDl8-T载体,采用双脱氧末端终止法测序.序列分析显示ULl8全长891 bp,可编码297个氨基酸.将该基因亚克隆到原核表达栽体pQE.82L的6×His标签下游,获得原核表达质粒pQE-UL18,转化大肠杆菌DH5α,经IPTG诱导在大肠杆菌中成功表达,表达的融合蛋白6 × His-UL18的分子量约为33 ku.Western blot证实,表达的融合蛋白能与抗6×His的单抗发生特异性反应.进一步将UL18基因插入真核表达栽体pEGFP-N1中EGFP基因的5'端,获得与EGFP融合表达的真核表达质粒pEGFP-UL18,转染HeLa细胞,通过激光共聚焦显微镜观察发现,转染后24 h融合蛋白EGFP-UL18主要定位于细胞浆,仅有部分定位于细胞核,而48 h时则主要定位在细胞核.但对照载体pEGFP.N1转染细胞的荧光一直呈弥散型分布于整个细胞中.     

绒山羊绒毛品质遗传研究进展

绒毛品质不仅影响绒山羊养殖的经济效益,还影响绒毛纺织品的质量。近年来,随着产绒量的提高,绒毛品质有下降趋势,为了提高生产效益,在生产过程中提高绒毛品质势在必行。绒毛品质是绒山羊育种中重要的选择参数,而控制绒毛品质的主要性状是数量性状,通过数量遗传学和分子遗传学寻找控制数量性状的主效基因,从而研究其生长机理和控制绒毛生长的基因的表达机制。作者综述了近年来有关绒毛品质的研究成果,其中包括通过表型选择来提高绒毛品质,且找到控制绒毛品质性状的HOX、BMP、KAP基因和色素基因等,还有寻找控制目标性状相应的QTL和对不同序列的SNPs进行GWAS分析,通过基因型的选择来提高绒毛品质,这些研究为提高绒毛品质奠定了理论基础,也为今后研究绒毛品质的遗传因素提供借鉴。
