轮状病毒LH9株在Vero细胞中的培养条件优化研究

为优化轮状病毒株在Vero细胞上的培养条件,将轮状病毒基因重配株LH9按0.1MOI分别接种于不同规格的细胞培养瓶(100ml、2000ml、3L、15L)。病毒接种采用吸附与未吸附两种方式、病毒收获采取低温冻融后离心与直接离心两种方法,观察分析对病毒滴度的影响。实验中,用CASY细胞计数仪分析活细胞率,病毒接种后逐日观察细胞病变(CPE)并取样,采用细胞半数感染量测定病毒滴度。结果表明,使用不同规格细胞培养瓶经吸附法培养接种、低温破碎法收获的LH9株病毒滴度高,其中以15L立瓶培养滴度最高(6.0～7.0 logCCID50/ml)。     

细胞工厂培养轮状病毒基因重配株Ls(G3型)条件的优化研究

目的以细胞工厂代替转瓶培养轮状病毒基因重配株Ls的可行性研究。方法采用细胞工厂与相应的转瓶培养工艺作对比,比较两种容器内细胞生长状态与病毒收获液滴度,并对细胞工厂培养条件进行了优化。结果以相同浓度接种细胞时,细胞工厂4 d长成单层,转瓶却需要7 d,经细胞仪计数后单位面积内细胞密度相当;以相同MOI接种病毒后,转瓶内的病毒于第7天病毒滴度达到峰值,细胞已完全脱落;细胞工厂于第3天病毒滴度达到峰值,并实现了3次收获。细胞工厂每次收获的病毒液滴度都稳定在一定范围,与转瓶相当。另外,细胞工厂培养条件优化结果表明,Vero细胞最佳接种浓度为3.0×104细胞/cm2,接种病毒的最适MOI为0.02~0.04。结论使用细胞工厂培养Ls株病毒不仅提高了效率,而且减少了培养空间,可替代转瓶规模化生产轮状病毒疫苗。

轮状病毒基因重配株血清型鉴定方法的研究

Ａ组轮状病毒中根据基因９的不同目前至少已发现有１３个不同Ｇ血清型,其中能引起人类致病的有Ｇ１－Ｇ４,Ｇ８,Ｇ９和Ｇ１２型。建立可靠的血清型鉴定技术对于轮状病毒疫苗的研制和分子流行病学的研究具有重要意义。本文首次报导了一种鉴定轮状病毒Ｇ血清型的新方法,利用已知有关轮状病毒ＶＰ７基因的序列资料,设计合成了一套鉴定轮状病毒Ｇ血清型的寡核苷酸探针,利用地高辛标记上述探针。待检品经反转录ＰＣＲ扩增后与上述一套寡核苷酸探针分别进行杂交得以确定其血清型。这一方法与目前常用的套式ＰＣＲ方法相比更适合于大量样品的操作而且结果可靠。用这一方法对本实验室组建的四株基因重配疫苗株进行实验,其结果与套式ＰＣＲ方法完全一致。

Serological characterization of human reassortant rotaviruses.

We analyzed the serological properties of two human wild-type cell culture-adapted rotaviruses (strains 308 and 46) and of 308 X 46 reassortants which were previously obtained and genetically characterized. Strain 308, exhibiting a so-called long RNA pattern, was found to belong to human rotavirus subgroup II, serotype 1, whereas strain 46, exhibiting a so-called short RNA pattern, represented subgroup I, serotype 2. Among the 308 X 46 reassortants we analyzed, two belonged to subgroup II, serotype 1, and exhibited short RNA patterns. This showed that the correlation observed between human subgroups I and II rotaviruses and the short and long electrophoretic patterns is not supported by any molecular basis (i.e., gene segment 10 or 11 was not involved in the subgroup specificity).     

Influence of strain and cultivation procedure on the performance of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of steam pretreated spruce

Yeast to be used in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lignocelluloses materials has to be prepared in a separate cultivation step. The effects of the cultivation procedure on the performance of SSF of steam pretreated softwood were studied in the current work. The yeast used in the SSF was either directly commercially available Baker's yeast (as packaged yeast) or the same strain of yeast produced from the hydrolysate obtained in the pretreatment of the softwood material. A second strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TMB3000, isolated from spent sulphite liquor, was also compared with the commercial Baker's yeast. The strains were tested in SSF at substrate loads of 3, 5 and 8% dry weight of water insoluble material. Final ethanol yields were above 85% of the theoretical (based on the available hexoses) in all cases, except for the package yeast for the 8% substrate load, in which case the final yield was less than 65%. The cultivation procedure was found to have a significant impact on the performance during SSF, as well as in small-scale fermentations of hydrolysate liquor without solid material. The Baker's yeast cultivated on the hydrolysate from the steam pretreatment had in all cases a higher productivity, in particular at the highest substrate load. Cultivated Baker's yeast had a slightly higher productivity than TMB3000. The results suggest that the adaptation of the yeast to the inhibitors present in the medium is an important factor that must be considered in the design of SSF processes.     

Isolation and characterization of a novel reassortant between avian Ty-1 and simian RRV rotaviruses.

A reassortant, TyRh, was isolated after coinfection of MA104 cells with avian Ty-1 and simian RRV rotaviruses. Hybridization and serological studies showed that the reassortant's 4th gene, which encodes Vp4, was derived from the simian RRV rotavirus parent, whereas the remaining 10 genes were derived from the avian Ty-1 rotavirus parent.     

Temperature-dependent dimorphism of the yeastArxula adeninivorans Ls3

Arxula adeninivorans Ls3 is described as an ascomycetous, arthroconidial, anamorphic, xerotolerant yeast, which was selected from wood hydrolysates in Siberia. By using minimal salt medium or yeast-extract-peptone-medium with glucose or maltose as carbon source it was shown that this yeast is able to grow at up to 48° C. Increasing temperatures induce changes in morphology from the yeast phase to mycelia depending on an altered programme of gene expression. This dimorphism is an environmentally conditioned (reversible) event and the mycelia can be induced at a cultivation temperature of 45° C. Depending on the morphology of strain Ls3 (yeast phase or mycelia) the secretion behaviour as well as the spectrum of polypeptides accumulated in the culture medium changed. The activities of the accumulated extracellular enzymes glucoamylase and invertase were 2 to 3 times higher in cultures grown at 45° C than in those grown at 30° C. While the level of the glucoamylase protein secreted from mycelia between 45 and 70 hours did not change, biochemical activity decreased after a cultivation time of 43 hours. It was shown that this effect depended on both the catabolic repression of the glucoamylase by glucose and the thermal inactivation of this enzyme in media without or with low concentrations of starch or maltose.     

Application of the EUF procedure in sugar beet cultivation

Summary The relationship between the EUF-nutrient fractions in the soil on the one hand and the nutrient uptake of sugar beet as well as root yield and quality (polarization, α-amino N etc.) on the other is described on the basis of results obtained over several years in surveys conducted in farmers' fields (5000–6000 fields under sugar beet per year) and in field experiments (25–35 sites per year). Statistically significant close correlations with the respective parameters were found for the following EUF nutrient fractions: EUF-NO₃, EUF-P, EUF-K, EUF-Na, EUF-B and EUF-Mn. Within five years it was possible to determine the EUF-nutrient values which are required for the production of 9 t sugar/ha. These EUF values are the following: Ca: 65–70 mg/100 g at 20°C K: 11–15 mg/100 g at 20°C (depending on the clay content) Mg: 3–5 mg/100 g at 20°C Na: 2–3 mg/100 g at 20°C P: 1.4–1.6 mg/100 g at 20°C For calculation of the N fertilizer requirements of sugar beet it is suggested to use the sum of the EUF-extractable N amounts. It was found in Austria, Yugoslavia and Denmark over a period of 3 years that the EUF-N value of 1 mg/100 g soil determined between June and September was equivalent to 40 kg N/ha. If, for example, the analysed soil contains 3 mg EUF-N/100 g, 3×40=120 kg N/ha will be available to the sugar beet crop in the following year.     

Genome sequence of a reassortant strain of bluetongue virus serotype 23 from western India

The full genome sequence (19,177 bp) of an Indian strain (IND1988/02) of bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 23 was determined. This virus was isolated from a sheep that had been killed during a severe bluetongue outbreak that occurred in Rahuri, Maharashtra State, western India, in 1988. Phylogenetic analyses of these data demonstrate that most of the genome segments from IND1988/02 belong to the major "eastern" BTV topotype. However, genome segment 5 belongs to the major "western" BTV topotype, demonstrating that IND1988/02 is a reassortant. This may help to explain the increased virulence that was seen during this outbreak in 1988. Genome segment 5 of IND1988/02 shows >99% sequence identity with some other BTV isolates from India (e.g., BTV-3 IND2003/08), providing further evidence of the existence and circulation of reassortant strains on the subcontinent.
