家养犬、猫及野生动物中狂犬病病毒流行病学调查及我国不同类型狂犬病疫苗免疫效果观测研究

选择我国狂犬病高发地区(湖南、贵州)、低发地区(江苏、武汉)和无狂犬病报告地区(沈阳)等三种不同类型的地区,开展针对家养犬、猫和啮齿类动物,以及蝙蝠等野生动物的狂犬病病毒带毒率的流行病学调查,对分离到的病毒株在抗原型别、基因变异以及与现行疫苗是否匹配等方面进行分析、比较研究。结果显示:我国狂犬病的主要宿主动物为犬,捕获犬总带毒率为2.56%;犬中狂犬病病毒的监测点最高阳性检出率达到20.0%;啮齿类动物及蝙蝠等野生动物在本次研究未检测到狂犬病病毒。我国自主研制成功的以aG株和CTN株为毒种的现行人用狂犬病疫苗,经应用研究发现,CTN株的糖蛋白基因与本研究分离到的街毒核酸序列更接近。为进一步评价现行疫苗的有效性,在5个观察点分别以aG株和CTN株毒种生产的疫苗接种两组人群(每组各约50人),结果显示均未出现中、强度反应,疫苗免疫后第7d和14d产生的中和抗体分别达到0.49IU/mL~0.52IU/mL和6.7IU/mL~7.53IU/mL;抗体阳转率分别为45.1%~47.9%和100%,表明这些疫苗具有良好的安全性和保护效果。     

狂犬病疫苗接种者血清对狂犬病病毒中和能力研究

狂犬病（Rabies）是由狂犬病病毒属成员（Lyssavirus）引起的人兽共患病,全球99%以上人狂犬病是由该属主要成员狂犬病病毒（Rabies virus,RABV）引起的。近年来,我国RABV毒株多样性明显增多,但是现有狂犬病疫苗对不同毒株（特别是新出现的毒株）免疫保护效果尚不清楚。为研究目前商品化的人用狂犬病疫苗对RABV街毒株是否具备交叉免疫保护能力,本研究通过制备不同进化群、不同宿主来源的3株街毒株GDMMD16、NMALSF01和NeiMeng927A的细胞毒,分别对免疫过aG株和/或PM株狂犬病疫苗的23份人血清进行狂犬病荧光抗体病毒中和实验,结果发现所有血清对GDMMD16、NMALSF01和NeiMeng927A街毒株的中和效价均高于WHO推荐的标准（0.5IU/mL）,表明上述2种商品化的人用狂犬病疫苗对3株RABV街毒株具有保护能力。

Molecular characterization of China human rabies vaccine strains

To understand the molecular characteristics of China human rabies vaccine strains, we report the full-length genome of the aG strain and present a comprehensive analysis of this strain and almost all available lyssavirus genomes (58 strains) from GenBank (as of Jan 6, 2011). It is generally considered that the G protein plays a predominant role in determining the pathogenicity of the virus, to this end we predicted the tertiary structure of the G protein of aG strain, CTN181 strain and wild type strain HN10 based on the crystal structure of Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G. The predicted RABV G structure has a similar topology to VSV G and the ectodomain can be divided into 4 distinct domains DI — DIV. By mapping the characterized mutations to this structure between China vaccine strains and their close street strains, we speculate that the G303(P-H) mutations of CTN181 and HN10 causing DII 3D change may be associated with the II attenuated virulence in both strains. Specifically, the two signature mutations (G165P and G231P) in the aG strain are withinßsheets, suggesting that both sites are of structural importance.     

The influence of homologous vs. heterologous challenge virus strains on the serological test results of rabies virus neutralizing assays

The effect that the relatedness of the viral seed strain used to produce rabies vaccines has to the strain of challenge virus used to measure rabies virus neutralizing antibodies after vaccination was evaluated. Serum samples from 173 subjects vaccinated with either purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV), produced from the Pittman Moore (PM) seed strain of rabies virus, or purified chick embryo cell rabies vaccine (PCECV), produced from the Flury low egg passage (Flury-LEP) seed strain of rabies virus, were tested in parallel assays by RFFIT using a homologous and a heterologous testing system. In the homologous system, CVS-11 was used as the challenge virus in the assay to evaluate the humoral immune response in subjects vaccinated with PVRV and Flury-LEP was used for subjects vaccinated with PCECV. In the heterologous system, CVS-11 was used as the challenge virus in the assay to evaluate subjects vaccinated with PCECV and Flury-LEP was used for subjects vaccinated with PVRV. Although the difference in G protein homology between the CVS-11 and Flury-LEP rabies virus strains has been reported to be only 5.8%, the use of a homologous testing system resulted in approximately 30% higher titers for nearly two-thirds of the samples from both vaccine groups compared to a heterologous testing system. The evaluation of equivalence of the immune response after vaccination with the two different vaccines was dependent upon the type of testing system, homologous or heterologous, used to evaluate the level of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies. Equivalence between the vaccines was achieved when a homologous testing system was used but not when a heterologous testing system was used. The results of this study indicate that the strain of virus used in the biological assays to measure the level of rabies virus neutralizing antibodies after vaccination could profoundly influence the evaluation of rabies vaccines.     

Standardization of an enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro potency assay of inactivated tissue culture rabies vaccines: determination of the rabies virus glycoprotein with polyclonal antisera

A non-competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) has been standardized to supplement the in vivo potency test used for the quality control of inactivated tissue culture vaccines against rabies. The essentials of the ELISA were: fixation of the virus in different dilutions of vaccine on the surface of microtitre plates; testing of the reference and up to six test vaccines on one plate; incubation with polyclonal antisera to rabies virus glycoprotein containing an excess of antibody; further incubation with a species-specific anti-IgG coupled to peroxidase; a final incubation with a substrate. The incubation periods were 1 h, 1 h and 30 min both at +37 degrees C. The relative potency determinations were made graphically or by a computer using a parallel line bioassay in which the potencies of the vaccines of unknown potency were tested against the reference preparation on a single microtitre plate. Under these conditions inactivated rabies vaccines of different types (virus strains, cell substrates, inactivation and concentration procedures) were tested for potency. Furthermore, it was possible with this in vitro method to assay adjuvanted vaccines, in process samples such as tissue culture supernatants with live or inactivated rabies virus, concentrates, and vaccines undergoing thermal stability tests. The rabies glycoprotein antigen-antibody reaction was highly specific according to the results and the glycoprotein content was measured quantitatively. The potency determined by the in vitro ELISA correlated with the in vivo NIH protection potency test. The lower limit of detection of the ELISA was 0.015 IU/ml. Quantitative antigen determination was possible with both homologous and heterologous antisera to rabies virus glycoprotein when vaccines of the same virus strain were tested. When the potencies of vaccines of different virus strain specificity were calculated, it was necessary to take into account the strain-specific antigenicity. Even so vaccines of high potency were found to give a stronger reaction with a heterologous serum than did weak vaccines with a homologous antiserum. Stability tests made on inactivated tissue culture vaccines such as vaccine from the human diploid cell strain (HDCS), from purified chicken embryo cell (PCEC) or from purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV), showed high stability of the glycoprotein antigen even after four months of storage at +37 degrees C or 24 h at +56 degrees C, provided that the vaccines were stored in a lyophilized state. The antigenicity of liquid vaccines was inactivated after a few hours at +56 degrees C. For tropical areas, therefore, only lyophilized vaccines should be considered.     

Detection and genetic characterization of rabies virus from human patients

Saliva and blood were collected from two patients who had not received post exposure prophylaxis in the cities of Wenzhou and Xinning respectively. Both patients were confirmed as positive for rabies by detection of rabies virus specific nucleoprotein antibodies in the sera by Western Blot. However, rabies virus specific RNA was only identified in the saliva collected from the patient in Wenzhou. Furthermore, the isolate Zhejiang Wz0 (H) was obtained by inoculating one-day-old suckling mice. Both nucleoprotein (N) and glycoprotein (G) genes from the isolate were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolate belonged to classic rabies virus, and shared a higher homology with the street viruses from dogs in the main endemic areas in China and the street virus from dogs in Indonesia than with other known strains. Further comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences between the isolate and the vaccine strains used in China showed that the virus had a higher level of homology with the vaccine strain CTN than with the other vaccine strains (3aG, PV, PM and ERA). In particular, amino acid residues substitutions located in antigenic site III in the G protein, which could react with the neutralizing antibodies, were observed. These results suggested that the virus belonged to the classic rabies virus, and both N and G genes diverged from the current vaccine strains used in China at either the nucleotide or the amino acid level.

Vaccination of free-ranging Pennsylvania raccoons (Procyon lotor) with inactivated rabies vaccine

Thirty-nine free-ranging raccoons (Procyon lotor) in an endemic rabies area of Pennsylvania (USA) were vaccinated with a single intramuscular inoculation of commercial inactivated rabies virus vaccine, 17 June to 23 August 1987. Paired serum samples, pre- and postvaccination, were obtained from eight raccoons and were analyzed in vitro for rabies virus neutralizing antibody using a modified rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test. Seven of eight (88%) recaptured raccoons demonstrated seroconversion within 15 to 26 days of vaccination. At 1 yr postvaccination, three vaccinated raccoons were recaptured and challenged in captivity with street rabies virus, resulting in the death of two of three vaccinates and five of five unvaccinated control raccoons.
