猪圆环病毒2型ORF2基因截断表达及ELISA抗体检测方法的初步建立

为建立以重组PCV2Cap蛋白为包被抗原的间接ELISA检测方法,构建了猪圆环病毒2型（PCV2）ORF2基因原核表达质粒pET28a-ORF2。SDS-PAGE显示,在0.1mmol/L IPTG和37℃条件下诱导4h,重组Cap蛋白高效表达。Western blotting证实该蛋白能够被PCV2阳性血清特异性识别。以纯化的蛋白为抗原建立了检测PCV2抗体的间接ELISA方法。结果表明,抗原最适包被质量浓度为2mg/L;血清最佳稀释度为1∶100;酶标二抗最适浓度为1∶2 000,该方法的敏感性为86.96%,特异性为100%。用该方法对河南省152份猪血清样品进行检测,与间接免疫荧光（IFA）的符合率为85.53%（130/152）,与商品化的韩国金诺PCV2ELISA试剂盒的符合率为88.16%（134/152）。本试验成功建立了PCV2血清抗体间接ELISA方法,具有较高的敏感性和特异性,可用于大规模的血清学检测。

猪圆环病毒病原学研究进展

猪圆环病毒(porcine circovirus,PCV)有2种不同的血清型,即猪圆环病毒1型(PCV1)和猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)。目前研究表明PCV1暂无致病性,但PCV2则被认为是引起猪圆环疾病(PCVDs)的主要病原。很多地区养猪业的经济效益因此而遭受了重大的影响。PCV现已受到全球的关注,引起了许多专家学者的高度重视。本文对PCV的病原学最新研究进展进行了综述。     

2株猪流行性腹泻病毒的分离鉴定及ORF3基因的克隆与序列分析

为研究、防控广东地区猪流行性腹泻,首先通过RT-PCR法确定某猪场粪便样品中存在猪流行性腹泻病毒,随后利用Vero细胞进行盲传,最后经核酸类型鉴定、RT-PCR、病毒TCID50的测定、目的基因测序和序列分析等方法,确认分离到2株猪流行性腹泻病毒毒株,命名为PEDV GDKP-2013和PEDV GDKP2-2013,通过ORF3全基因核苷酸序列分析可知,GDKP-2013株与GDKP2-2013株与经典参考毒株的氨基酸序列一致性为 JX261936-CHGD-01,98.2%,98%;JQ039903-CH-GD-2011,98.6%,98.4%;AF353511-CV777,95.4%,95.1%;KC344845-STPED0810,95.1%,94.8%;EU054929-DR13,95.5%,95.2%;KF272920-USA-Colorado-2013,95.1%,94.8%,表明此2毒株与国内分离株的氨基酸同源性高,与韩国、泰国和美国分离株的氨基酸同源性要低一些,同时,与疫苗参考株的氨基酸同源性也相对较低;基因系统进化分析可知,GDKP-2013株与GDKP2-2013株主要处在Ⅰa分支,均与弱毒疫苗株（Ⅰb分支）相互之间遗传进化关系较远。     

重组猪表皮生长因子对早期断奶仔猪生长性能的影响

本试验旨在研究重组猪表皮生长因子(porcine epidermal growth factor,p EGF)对早期断奶仔猪生长性能的影响。选用21日龄断奶三元杂交(杜×长×大)健康仔猪160头,按体重相近、性别比例相同原则随机分成4组,即高档教槽料+500μg/kg p EGF组(GE组)、高档教槽料对照组(GD组)、中档教槽料+500μg/kg p EGF组(ZE组)、中档教槽料对照组(ZD组),每组4个重复,每个重复10头仔猪。试验期为10 d。结果表明:1)GE组平均日增重显著高于GD组(P<0.05),比GD组提高了6.29%;ZE组平均日增重极显著高于ZD组(P<0.01),比ZD组提高了17.08%;2)GE组平均日采食量与GD组无显著差异(P>0.05),ZE组平均日采食量显著高于ZD组(P<0.05),比ZD组提高了4.91%;3)GE组料重比显著低于GD组(P<0.05),比GD组降低了4.31%;ZE组料重比显著低于ZD组(P<0.05),比ZD组降低了10.37%;4)GE组腹泻率比GD组降低了57.14%;ZE组腹泻率比ZD组降低了38.46%。由此可见,饲粮添加p EGF提高了饲料转化率,降低了料重比和腹泻率,从而显著改善断奶仔猪生长性能,降低增重成本。

Enhancing mucosal immunity in mice by recombinant adenovirus expressing major epitopes of porcine circovirus-2 capsid protein delivered with cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides

A recombinant replication-defective adenovirus expressing the major epitopes of porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2) capsid protein (rAd/Cap/518) was previously constructed and shown to induce mucosal immunity in mice following intranasal delivery. In the present study, immune responses induced by intranasal immunization with a combination of rAd/Cap/518 and cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODN) were evaluated in mice. The levels of PCV-2-specific IgG in serum and IgA in saliva, lung, and intestinal fluids were significantly higher in the group immunized with rAd/Cap/518 and CpG ODN than animals immunized with rAd/Cap/518 alone. The frequencies of IL-2-secreting CD4⁺ T cells and IFN-γ-producing CD8⁺ T cells were significantly higher in the combined immunization group than mice immunized with rAd/Cap/518 alone. The frequencies of CD3⁺, CD3⁺CD4⁺CD8^-, and CD3⁺CD4^-CD8⁺ T cells in the combined immunization group were similar to that treated with CpG ODN alone, but significantly higher than mice that did not receive CpG ODN. PCV-2 load after challenge in the combined immunization group was significantly lower than that in the phosphate-buffered saline placebo group and approximately 7-fold lower in the group treated with CpG ODN alone. These results indicate that rAd/Cap/518 combined with CpG ODN can enhance systemic and local mucosal immunity in mice, and represent a promising synergetic mucosal vaccine against PCV-2.     

A simplified one-step nuclear transfer procedure alters the gene expression patterns and developmental potential of cloned porcine embryos

Various somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) techniques for mammalian species have been developed to adjust species-specific procedures to oocyte-associated differences among species. Species-specific SCNT protocols may result in different expression levels of developmentally important genes that may affect embryonic development and pregnancy. In the present study, porcine oocytes were treated with demecolcine that facilitated enucleation with protruding genetic material. Enucleation and donor cell injection were performed either simultaneously with a single pipette (simplified one-step SCNT; SONT) or separately with different pipettes (conventional two-step SCNT; CTNT) as the control procedure. After blastocysts from both groups were cultured in vitro, the expression levels of developmentally important genes (OCT4, NANOG, EOMES, CDX2, GLUT-1, PolyA, and HSP70) were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Both the developmental rate according to blastocyst stage as well as the expression levels CDX2, EOMES, and HSP70 were elevated with SONT compared to CTNT. The genes with elevated expression are known to influence trophectoderm formation and heat stress-induced arrest. These results showed that our SONT technique improved the development of SCNT porcine embryos, and increased the expression of genes that are important for placental formation and stress-induced arrest.
