流行性出血热病毒灭活后免疫原性的初步研究

本文用较高感染滴度的Vero-E6细胞和小白鼠乳鼠脑病毒,经56℃1小时加温或1:2,000福尔马林灭活后,免疫成年小白鼠、黑线姬鼠和长爪沙鼠。结果Vero-E6细胞培养的病毒均未使动物产生可测出的抗体,而小白鼠乳鼠脑病毒则获得良好的抗体阳转率(92％)。同时证明,热灭活较福尔马林灭活者好,加佐剂较不加佐剂好。     

流行性出血热病毒在Vero一E6细胞内引起细胞病变作用的新发现

自McCormick等发现Vero-E6细胞对流行性出血热病毒的敏感性后,国内外已有不少学者应用该细胞进行病毒分离和试验研究,但均未发现病毒在该细胞内规律性病变。病毒的存在和滴度只能按免疫荧光法(IFA)证实和测出。本文应用我国分离的出血热病毒在Vero-E6细胞上培养和观察,发现病毒在该细胞上出现有规律的病变并能测出病毒滴度,病变能被特异性中和抗体中和。现将结果报道如下。     

流行性出血热病毒的蚀斑形成技术

国外已有报道,流行性出血热病毒(EHFV)能在Vero-E6细胞上形成蚀斑。由于蚀斑试验和蚀斑减少试验用于测定病毒滴度及中和抗体效价较其它方法准确,且特异性高,适用于测定出血热病毒间抗原性差异,感染或免疫后中和抗体水平。但由于EHFV在细胞内繁殖培养时间较长,蚀斑形成的细胞培养条件要求较高,目前国内尚未见成功的报道。我们基本     

流行性出血热病毒在MA-104和Vero-E6传代细胞上繁殖动态的比较

用流行性出血热病毒(陈株)分別感染MA-104和Vero-E6传代细胞,结果受病毒感染的MA-104细胞荧光阴性细胞出现早,感染滴度高,胞浆内颗粒大,提示MA-104细胞用于该病毒的分离传代及抗原片的制作等方面优于Vero-E6细胞。流行性出血热病毒(EHFV)在某些原代及传代细胞上能适应增殖,国内外已有过报导。但用对轮状病毒十分敏感的恒河猴胚肾MA-104细胞培养和增殖EHFV并与通常使用分离该病毒的VeroE6细胞进行繁殖动态观察,尚未有过报导。本文用间接免疫荧光法(IFA)比较观察EHFV在两种细胞上的增殖动态,为MA-104细胞代替常规Vero-E6细胞用于该病毒的分离、传代等研究以及抗原片的制备提供依据。     

长爪沙鼠腹腔巨噬细胞对流行性出血热病毒的敏感性

本文就长爪沙鼠腹腔巨噬细胞(MΦ)对流行性出血热病毒(EHFV)的敏感性进行了试验,用3株野鼠型(A9、R3、76-118)和1株家鼠型EHFV(R22),并用对EHFV敏感的Vero-E6细胞作对照,结果沙鼠腹腔巨噬细胞感染EHFV后,第1代第8天前即可查见明显的特异性荧光,第16天左右达高峰,病毒滴度≥10~(-7.5),与Vero-E6细胞比较,培养上清液的病毒滴度,沙鼠MΦ较Vero-E6细胞高1～4个对数,当感染病毒量很低时,在Vero-E6细胞内测不出特异性抗原,而在沙鼠MΦ内病毒仍可繁殖,滴度达10~(-5.(?)),中和试验、间接免疫荧光检测和荧光阻断试验均证明,沙鼠MΦ内繁殖的病毒确实为EHFV。     

流行性出血热病毒在疫区鼠间垂直传播的首次证实

流行性出血热(EHF)病毒在鼠间垂直传播的问题一直未被证实。1985～1986年我们在实验研究的基础上进行了疫区现场研究,采用的基本方法是从感染的孕鼠子宫内剖取胎鼠,用免疫荧光法作抗原、抗体检查和病毒分离,结果从流行性出血热疫区捕获的4只黑线姬鼠孕鼠的胎鼠体内检出了特异性抗原和抗体(IgM和IgG)。从24只抗原阳性的褐家鼠孕鼠中检出抗原阳性胎鼠18只,垂直传播率达75％。从褐家鼠孕鼠和胎鼠中分离出病毒六株,经特异性试验和单克隆抗体鉴定确认为EHF病毒。上述事实证明,在自然条件下,流行性出血热病毒在疫区鼠类中存在着经胎盘感染或垂直传播。这一证实对于阐明疫源地形成、延续和扩散,以及人类发病等具有重要意义。     

应用反向间接血凝法早期诊断流行性出血热

1985年我们研制了流行性出血热(EHF)抗体致敏的诊断血球,建立了检测EHF抗原的R-PHA方法。用此法检测本所分离的EHF病毒株感染的VeroE_6细胞培养上清液,以及人工感染EHFV的小白鼠乳鼠脑悬液等,均获得良好结果。以后又应用此法检测了EHF早期病人血清、白细胞冻融液及人工感染EHFV的小白鼠乳鼠血清等,并作了特异的EHF抗体阻断试验,现将结果报告如下:     

原核细胞表达的肾综合征出血热病毒核蛋白免疫原性及免疫保护作用的研究

对原核细胞表达的肾综合征出血热病毒核蛋白的免疫原性及免疫保护作用进行了研究,结果发现表达的核蛋白具有很强的免疫原性,免疫小白鼠血清中抗肾综合征出血热病毒荧光抗体滴度达１：１２８００;用免疫小鼠脾细胞和血情做被动免疫保护实验,结果显示脾细胞对部分乳鼠肾综合征出血热病毒的致死感染有保护作用,保护率可达３８％,而血清不具有免疫保护作用;同时也未观察到核蛋白免疫血清具有促感染乳鼠早死作用。表明核蛋白能诱导细胞免疫保护但不诱导抗体介导的免疫保护,同时也不引起抗体介导的早死,这就为肾综合征出血热病毒核蛋白作为该病毒基因工程疫苗的成分提供了一定的理论基础。

目的研究肠道病毒71型经不同途径感染不同日龄ICR小鼠后的感染状况,了解肠道病毒71型的感染特点,为了解EV71小鼠感染机制和模型制备提供实验信息和技术支撑。方法分别通过口腔途径、颅腔途径、肌肉途径及腹腔途径感染1日龄、7日龄及3~4周龄SPF级ICR小鼠,定期安乐动物,采集各器官组织进行病原学诊断,确定EV71病毒感染情况;同时建立一步RT-PCR、病毒分离、IFA及IEA等方法。结果经腹腔途径感染成年鼠出现竖毛、弓背、消瘦症状,其他各途径感染小鼠感染后未见竖毛、弓背、觅食减少、体重减轻、精神呆滞及神经系统症状。颅腔注射3~4周龄ICR小鼠能在脑组织检测到病毒RNA,腹腔注射和肌肉注射1日龄乳鼠能在肌肉组织和肠道检测到病毒RNA,其中,肌肉组织病毒分离可检测到活病毒。本研究同时建立了分子生物学、血清学方法,为今后研究其它适合EV71的动物模型奠定了基础。结论临床分离的EV71毒株通过口腔接种、颅腔、肌肉、腹腔注射途径感染1日龄、7日龄及3~4周龄SPF级ICR小鼠的疾病程度和病毒检出不同,ICR乳鼠及成年鼠可作为该病毒感染机制、病毒体内分布等基础研究,但用作EV71动物模型应用,感染程度尚不十分理想。     

Murine viruses in an island population of introduced house mice and endemic short-tailed mice in Western Australia

House mice (Mus domesticus) were recently introduced to Thevenard Island, off the northwest coast of Western Australia. This island is also habitat for an endangered native rodent, the short-tailed mouse (Leggadina lakedownensis). Concerns have been raised that house mice may pose a threat to L. lakedownensis both through competition and as a source of infection. To assess the threat to L. lakedownensis posed by viral pathogens from M. domesticus, a serological survey was conducted from 1994 to 1996 of both species for evidence of infection with 14 common murine viruses (mouse hepatitis virus, murine cytomegalovirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, ectromelia virus, mouse adenovirus strains FL and K87, minute virus of mice, mouse parvovirus, reovirus type 3, Sendai virus, Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis virus, polyoma virus, pneumonia virus of mice, and encephalomyocarditis virus) and Mycoplasma pulmonis. Despite previous evidence that populations of free-living M. domesticus from various locations on the Australian mainland were infected with up to eight viruses, M. domesticus on Thevenard Island were seropositive only to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). Antibodies to MCMV were detected in this species at all times of sampling, although seroprevalence varied. Infectious MCMV could be isolated in culture of salivary gland homogenates from seropositive mice. In contrast, L. lakedownensis on Thevenard Island showed no serological evidence of infection with MCMV, any of the other murine viruses, or M. Pulmonis, and no virus could be isolated in culture from salivary gland homogenates. Although MCMV replicated to high titers in experimentally infected inbred BALB/c laboratory mice as expected, it did not replicate in the target organs of experimentally inoculated L. lakedownensis, indicating that the strict host specificity of MCMV may prevent its infection of L. lakedownensis. These results suggest that native mice on Thevenard Island are not at risk of MCMV infection from introduced house mice, and raise interesting questions about the possible selective survival of MCMV in small isolated populations of M. domesticus.     

裸鼠呼吸道合胞病毒感染的动物模型

呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)是全世界婴幼儿下呼吸道感染的首位病毒病原体,免疫缺陷个体容易发生严重感染,目前尚无理想RSV感染动物模型用于研究。我们用细胞免疫缺陷裸鼠感染RSV,旨在建立理想的动物模型,为RSV感染的防治研究奠定基础。裸鼠滴鼻感染RSV后肺组织分离到病毒,直接免疫荧光检测到支气管肺泡灌洗液RSV抗原阳性,空斑形成实验检测肺组织病毒滴度在感染后第3天达高峰,并持续到第9天仍能检测到病毒。免疫组化检测RSV抗原主要分布在细支气管、毛细支气管和肺泡上皮细胞胞浆内。肺组织病理学显示RSV感染导致裸鼠淋巴细胞浸润为主的肺间质性炎症,电镜分析超微结构可见到细胞内病毒颗粒和气血屏障的破坏。支气管肺泡灌洗液白细胞计数显示裸鼠RSV感染炎症高峰在感染后第9天。裸鼠RSV感染的病毒复制和病理改变特点与人相似,病毒持续高水平复制,是客观而实用的评价抗RSV制剂效果的小鼠模型。     

Mouse hepatitis virus 3 replication in T and B lymphocytes correlate with viral pathogenicity

Viral pathogenicity may be regulated by host defense mechanisms at the virus-immune cell interaction level. The immune system plays an important role in the outcome of acute disease induced by the mouse hepatitis virus type 3 (MHV3) virus. The lymphoid cells act as effectors in the virus elimination as well as targets for viral replication. In order to demonstrate a correlation between MHV3 pathogenicity and viral replication in lymphocytes, genetically-determined resistant A/J and susceptible C57BL/6 mice were infected with pathogenic (L2-MHV3) or nonpathogenic (YAC-MHV3) viral strains. Pathogenicity and histopathologic studies have revealed that lymphoid organs such as thymus and spleen, showed injuries or atrophy in susceptible mice infected with L2-MHV3. No histopathologic lesions in the lymphoid organs occurred in C57BL/6 mice infected with YAC-MHV3 or A/J mice infected with both viruses. The mechanisms involved in the lymphoid injuries were studied regarding viral replication in the lymphoid organs and cells in infected mice. Results indicate that cell depletion in lymphoid organs is caused by a complete viral replication in lymphoid cells. Thy1.2+ and surface IgM+ lymphoid cells from susceptible C57BL/6 mice infected with L2-MHV3 were permissive to viral replication and to subsequent cell lysis. No cell lysis, however, occurred in lymphoid cells from C57BL/6 mice infected with YAC-MHV3 and A/J mice infected with both virus strains. In vitro studies, with purified T and B cell populations were performed to determine the mechanism effecting susceptibility or resistance to viral-induced cell lysis occurring in such cells. A blockade, probably occurring at the viral RNA polymerase activity level, prevents viral replication in resistant cells between the stages of fixation of the virus at the cell-surface receptor and the viral protein translation. These experiments indicate that an intrinsic virus-specific resistant mechanism occurs in lymphoid cells that plays a major role in the viral pathogenicity.     

The primary site of replication alters the eventual site of persistent infection by polyomavirus in mice.

Using DNA blot analysis, we monitored the course of polyomavirus infection in mice receiving an intranasal inoculation and compared this with the course of infection in mice receiving an intraperitoneal inoculation. Intranasal infection was characterized by an initial primary replication phase in the respiratory tract, followed by a systemic infection of the visceral organs. At 12 days postinfection, there was partial clearing of viral DNA in all organs; by 22 days postinfection, viral DNA persisted only in the lungs and kidneys, and the level of DNA slowly decreased during the next 3 months. Lungs have been a previously unrecognized site for polyomavirus persistent infection. In contrast to intranasal infection, intraperitoneal infection of mice was characterized by only three phases: an initial systemic phase in which viral DNA was found in the same respiratory and visceral organs as during intranasal infection, clearing of the virus from the organs, and ultimately, a persistent infection in the kidneys but not in the lungs. Thus, different organs became persistently infected when mice were inoculated via these different routes.     

双单克隆抗体ELISA间接夹心法检测流行性出血热病毒抗原

建立了检测流行性出血热(EHF)病毒抗原的双单克隆抗体(McAb)ELISA同接夹心法,用本法和间接荧光抗体技术(IFAT)相比较,IFAT检出感染细胞内病毒抗原的高峰在感染后第8天,而ELISA检测感染上清中病毒抗原的高峰在第14天,两方法检测179份人工感染EHF病毒的乳鼠脑和肺组织标本,阳性检出率分别为72.1％和68.2％,实验结果表明,本法特异,敏感,简便,不仅可用于EHF病原学研究,也适用于流行病学调查检测大量鼠肺标本。     

A neutralization-resistant Theiler's virus variant produces an altered disease pattern in the mouse central nervous system.

Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus infection of mice is an animal model for human demyelinating diseases. To further define the role of this virus in the disease process, we selected a virus variant resistant to neutralization by a monoclonal antibody to VP-1. This virus variant was then injected into SJL/J mice. Central nervous system tissue was compared between variant virus- and wild-type virus-infected mice. Within the brain, no large differences were observed between the two groups as to the distribution of inflammatory infiltrates around the injection site and the number of viral antigen-positive cells during the first weeks of the observation period. In contrast, in the spinal cord major differences were found between variant virus- and wild-type virus-infected mice regarding the number of inflammatory lesions, infected cells, and the size of the areas involved with time. By immunohistochemistry, equivalent numbers of infected cells could be found in the spinal cord 1 week postinfection (p.i.): however, after that time, the number of infected cells in the wild-type virus-infected mice continued to increase, whereas the virus-positive cells from the variant virus-infected mice gradually decreased. Thus, the number of viral antigen-containing cells peaked by 1 week p.i. in the variant virus-infected animals. Conversely, the number of infected cells in the spinal cords from mice inoculated with wild-type virus steadily increased until 8 weeks p.i. At this time (8 weeks p.i.), no more variant virus antigen-positive cells could be observed within the spinal cord. Plaque assay of central nervous system tissue confirmed these differences between the two groups observed by immunohistochemistry. No infectious variant virus could be isolated after 2 weeks p.i. from the brain and 4 weeks p.i. from the spinal cord, whereas infectious wild-type virus could be detected up to the end of the observation period (12 weeks p.i.). Virus which was isolated from variant virus-infected mice still retained the neutralization-resistant phenotype. These studies emphasize the important biological in vivo activity of Theiler's virus VP-1 in determining neurovirulence.     

Persistent Hz-1 Virus Infection in Insect Cells: Evidence for Insertion of Viral DNA into Host Chromosomes and Viral Infection in a Latent Status

Persistent/latent viral infections of insect cells are a prominent though poorly understood phenomenon. In this study, the long-term association between the Hz-1 virus and insect host cells, conventionally referred to as persistent viral infection, is described. With the aid of a newly developed fluorescent cell-labeling system, we found that productive viral replication occurs by spontaneous viral reactivation in fewer than 0.2% of persistently infected cell lines over a 5-day period. Once viral reactivation takes place, the host cell dies. The persistently infected cells contain various amounts of viral DNA, and, in an extreme case, up to 16% of the total DNA isolated from infected cells could be of viral origin. Both pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and in situ hybridization experiments showed that some of these viral DNA molecules are inserted into the host chromosomes but that the rest of viral DNA copies are free from host chromosomes. Thus, Hz-1 virus is the first nonretroviral insect virus known to insert its genome into the host chromosome during the infection process. These data also suggest that the previously described persistent infection of Hz-1 virus in insect cells should be more accurately referred to as latent viral infection.     

The major virus-producing cell type during murine cytomegalovirus infection, the hepatocyte, is not the source of virus dissemination in the host

The course of systemic viral infections is determined by the virus productivity of infected cell types and the efficiency of virus dissemination throughout the host. Here, we used a cell-type-specific virus labeling system to quantitatively track virus progeny during murine cytomegalovirus infection. We infected mice that expressed Cre recombinase selectively in vascular endothelial cells or hepatocytes with a murine cytomegalovirus for which Cre-mediated recombination would generate a fluorescently labeled virus. We showed that endothelial cells and hepatocytes produced virus after direct infection. However, in the liver, the main contributor to viral load in the mouse, most viruses were produced by directly infected hepatocytes. Remarkably, although virus produced in hepatocytes spread to hepatic endothelial cells (and vice versa), there was no significant spread from the liver to other organs. Thus, the cell type producing the most viruses was not necessarily the one responsible for virus dissemination within the host.
