Characterization and application of monoclonal antibodies against white spot syndrome virus

Three hybridoma clones secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced from mouse myeloma and spleen cells immunized with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) isolated and purified from Penaeus monodon (Fabricius), collected from north-eastern Taiwan. By sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), the protein profile of this isolate contained four major proteins with sizes of approximately 35 (VP35), 28 (VP28), 24 (VP24), and 19 kDa (VP19). Western blot analysis revealed that two MAbs (1D7 and 6E1) recognized epitopes on VP28 and one MAb (3E8) recognized an epitope on VP19. The MAb 6E1 isotyped to the IgG₁ class was used in both an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and in an immunochemical staining protocol for successful identification and localization of WSSV in infected shrimp tissues. Antigenic similarity of isolates from Indonesia and Malaysia to the Taiwan isolate was illustrated by IFA with MAb 6E1. A MAb (2F6) which bound specifically to two shrimp proteins, 75 and 72 kDa, and reacted to the healthy and non-target tissues of WSSV in infected shrimp, such as hepatopancreas, is also described here and shows the necessity for specific identification of antibodies.     

猪脑心肌炎病毒VP2蛋白单克隆抗体的制备及其识别表位分析

为获得针对猪源EMCV结构蛋白VP2的特异性单克隆抗体,本试验以EMCV结构蛋白VP2为对象,将EMCVBJC3株VP2基因定向插入穿梭质粒中,构建重组腺病毒AdV—VP2,免疫BALB／c小鼠制备单克隆抗体,利用Pepscan技术对单抗识别的抗原位点进行分析。结果显示,间接ELISA及间接免疫荧光法筛选获得了2个阳性细胞克隆株,命名为C11和G8。经检测杂交瘤细胞培养上清抗体效价为1：1600,腹水效价分别为1：2．56×106和1：1.28×106,中和试验鉴定均无中和活性。Western—blot鉴定表明获得的2株单抗均能识别原核表达的重组VP2蛋白。亚类鉴定结果显示2株单抗均为IgG2b亚类,轻链均为κ型。Pepscan分析结果显示,这2株单抗可分别识别EMCVVP2蛋白上的2个B细胞线性表位。本研究获得的蛋白十分接近于其天然构象,很大程度上保证了病毒表面抗原位点的结构和功能。     

牛支原体单克隆抗体的制备与鉴定

以牛支原体(Mycoplasma bovis)湖北分离株HB0801作为抗原免疫8周龄BALB/c小鼠,利用杂交瘤技术筛选出了6株能稳定分泌抗牛支原体的单克隆抗体细胞株,分别生产腹水并对单抗进行了纯化和特性鉴定。经亚型测定,这些单抗都属IgG类。腹水ELISA效价在1×10⁵~1.6×10⁶。ELISA特异性分析结果表明,6株单抗与临床分离的牛支原体菌株以及ATCC标准株PG45都显阳性反应,但与牛的其他常见病原菌如多杀性巴氏杆菌、化脓隐秘杆菌等都显阴性反应。所有制备的单抗都与无乳支原体有交叉反应,其中两株单抗1A5和1C11只与无乳支原体有交叉反应,与其他支原体无交叉反应。经Western blotting验证,6株单抗分别识别牛支原体全菌蛋白中的不同条带,说明分别针对不同的蛋白抗原。这些牛支原体单克隆抗体为后期建立牛支原体检测方法及致病机理研究奠定了良好基础。     

用单克隆抗体进行副鸡嗜血杆菌定型

抗副鸡嗜血杆菌血清A和C型株所制备的两个血清型单克隆抗体（MAbs），分别对副鸡嗜血杆菌血清型A、B、C中的各型参考株作HI和dot－blotting试验。一种MAb（E5C12D10）为抗血清型A代表株221，另一种MAb（F2E6）为抗血清型C代表株S1。在两种试验中，不同血清型的MAbs可与对应的血清型中的副鸡嗜血杆菌株血凝（HA）抗原反应，而与血清型B代表株91、147均无反应。故这些MAbs可用于dot－blotting或HI试验进行副鸡嗜血杆菌定型。     

In vitro neutralization by monoclonal antibodies against yellow grouper nervous necrosis virus (YGNNV) and immunolocalization of virus infection in yellow grouper, Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel)

Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced by using yellow grouper nervous necrosis virus (YGNNV) as an immunogen, isolated from infected yellow grouper, Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel), and propagated in GB cells. In enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 43 hybridoma clones secreting MAbs strongly reacted with the purified virus. Ten of them showed a higher neutralization index (NI) value between 6.5 and 4.5 (log₁₀ NI) than the other 33 MAbs against YGNNV infection in cell culture. All 10 MAbs belonged to the IgG isotype with a κ light chain and recognized the 42 kDa coat protein of YGNNV by Western blot analysis. Immunohistochemical results demonstrated that the viral signals co-located with pathological lesions observed in retina, brain and spinal cord. These results indicate that the MAbs are useful for confirmative diagnosis of YGNNV infection.     

3α-HSD单克隆抗体的制备及其鉴定

为制备抗3α-HSD蛋白单克隆抗体(MAb),以已表达纯化的高纯度3α-HSD蛋白作为免疫原免疫BALB/c小鼠,利用杂交瘤技术,经过免疫和细胞融合后筛选出特异性的抗3α-HSD蛋白单克隆抗体,成功冻存35株IgG类型阳性杂交瘤细胞株。对14号和20号Anti-3α-HSD进行亲和性测试,发现其与可溶性抗原蛋白的亲和常数分别为3.7E+09和4.2E+09,二者可与抗原牢固结合,具有良好的亲和性。     

Production of monoclonal antibodies against synthetic peptides of the N-terminal region of Potato virus Y coat protein and their use in PVY strain differentiation

Antibodies were prepared against two synthetic peptides, P19 and P11, derived from the coat protein N-terminal region of two pepper isolates of Potato virus Y from Tunisia (PVY-P21 and PVY-P2, respectively). The peptides were selected by comparing the predicted amino acid sequences of three pepper and four potato PVY isolates on the basis of their polymorphism and hydrophilicity. Sera with high titres were only obtained against P19. Three MAbs, raised in response to P19, reacted with the homologous virus (PVY-P21) in TAS-ELISA. When tested against a broad range of PVY isolates and related viruses, MAb 3C5 proved to be PVY species specific, whereas MAbs 8A4 and 1D6 reacted specifically with standard isolates of PVY^O, PVY^C and PVY^N-W strains, but not with other PVY isolates. Consequently, epitope(s) recognized by 8A4 and 1D6 MAbs may be specific to a PVY group comprising all serologically PVY^non–N isolates. Surprisingly, and unlike isolate PVY-P21, many Tunisian field pepper isolates did not carry this epitope(s), thus revealing serological heterogeneity within the PVY pepper group. As PVY is one of the most economically important plant pathogens in a range of crops, including pepper, these MAbs will provide a useful tool for practical diagnosis and strain identification of PVY.     

动物病毒受体阻断剂的研究进展

病毒进入宿主机体后,病毒粘附蛋白(VAP)首先与宿主靶细胞膜特异受体结合,被吸附到宿主敏感细胞上,然后通过膜融合等方式侵入细胞中,完成脱囊膜或脱壳并进行复制、转录及装配等增殖过程。许多研究通过不同的途径试图寻找可以阻断病毒吸附的抑制剂,已取得了重要进展。近年来国内外文献表明,硫酸乙酰肝素(HS)是细胞膜上许多病毒的特异受体或者辅助受体,用一些可溶性的肝素,如肝素钠、硫酸软骨素可以特异阻断病毒的吸附和侵入。另外,具有糖结合活性的植物凝集素及一些糖类衍生物可以与细胞膜上的某些病毒特异受体糖蛋白结合,从而不同程度地抑制病毒和宿主细胞的结合。本文对该领域研究成果作一综述,旨在为今后对水产动物病毒阻断剂的研究提供参考。     

抗伪狂犬病毒Ea株单克隆抗体的制备及鉴定

将伪狂犬病毒Ea株纯化后免疫雌性Balb/c小鼠,取其脾细胞与SP2/O的骨髓瘤细胞融合,用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)进行筛选,获得了2株抗PRV的单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞,分别命名为3G7E3和4A6F5,其细胞培养上清及小鼠腹水效价(ELISA)分别为1:212、1:212及1:100×212、1:100×212。特异性试验和免疫荧光结果显示,3G7E3和4A6F5仅与PRV反应,而与PPV、PRRSV、JEV和HCV等病毒不发生交叉反应;用单抗建立的夹心ELISA试验能检出伪狂犬病毒。表明本研究所获得的2株单抗是PRV特异性的。这2株分泌抗PRV单抗的杂交瘤细胞株的获得为进一步建立准确快速的抗原检测方法奠定了基础。     

Existence of two serological subclusters of Plum pox virus, strain M

A large-scale serological characterisation of Plum pox virus (PPV) isolates was carried out with 19 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), including the universal MAb5B and the following strain-specific MAbs: AL (specific to PPV-M), 4DG5 (specific to PPV-D), TUV and AC (specific to PPV-C), and EA24 (specific to PPV-EA). The study involved 108 PPV isolates of different geographical origin (Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey and Yugoslavia) and hosts (almond, apricot, peach, plum and cherry). The inter- and intra-strain serological relationships of PPV isolates were evaluated by DASI-ELISA. High serological variability was detected, not only between strains, but also among isolates of the same strain. Computer-assisted analysis of serological data support the hypothesis of the existence of two distinct subclusters, denoted PPV-M₁ and PPV-M₂, which seem to prevail in Mediterranean and Eastern–Central European countries, respectively.
