Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies of Shrimp White Spot Syndrome Virus Envelope Protein VP28

BALB/c mice were immunized with purified White spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Six monoclonal antibody cell lines were selected by ELISA with VP28 protein expressed in E. coli. in vitro neutralization experiments showed that 4 of them could inhibit the virus infection in crayfish. Western-blot suggested that all these monoclonal antibodies were against the conformational structure of VP28. The monoclonal antibody 7B4 was labeled with colloidal gold particles and used to locate the VP28 on virus envelope by immunogold labeling. These monoclonal antibodies could be used to develop immun-ological diagnosis methods for WSSV infection.     

两种高危型HPV假病毒的构建及其在血清中和抗体测定中的应用

目的 构建人乳头瘤病毒(human papillomavirus, HPV)16型(HPV16)和18型(HPV18)假病毒,探索优化假病毒制备的条件,并利用制备的假病毒评价HPV疫苗血清抗体的中和活性。方法 将优化后的HPV16和HPV18 L1、L2和EGFP基因片段分别插入pcDNA3.1+载体中,通过多质粒共转染293FT细胞制备假病毒。对转染试剂、多质粒共转染比例、转染时间和细胞裂解时间进行摸索优化,通过测定假病毒的滴度,确定假病毒制备的最佳条件。收获的假病毒用30%的碘克沙醇作为介质进行超速离心纯化,纯化后的假病毒用于电镜观察。利用假病毒中和试验对制备的原核表达复性蛋白HPV16 L1免疫血清以及HPV16和HPV18病毒样颗粒(virus-like particles, VLP)免疫血清进行中和活性评价。结果 成功构建了假病毒,并确定了假病毒制备的最佳条件:pL1∶pL2∶pEGFP等3种质粒共转染比例为1∶0.1∶0.5,总量为4μg;转染时间为72 h,细胞裂解时间为24 h时获得的假病毒滴度最高。透射电镜观察结果显示,HPV16和HPV18假病毒颗粒基本呈规则圆形,形态上与天然病毒颗粒相似。中和试验结果显示,当用原核表达复性蛋白HPV16 L1免疫血清中和HPV16假病毒时,并不能抑制假病毒的感染活性;但HPV16和18 VLP免疫血清能明显的抑制HPV16和HPV18假病毒的感染活性。结论 成功构建并制备了2种高危型HPV假病毒,并可用于中和试验评价HPV疫苗血清抗体的中和活性。

Mechanism of action of a cytotonic enterotoxin produced by Aeromonas hydrophila

In this study, we describe the mechanism of action of a cytotonic enterotoxin produced by two isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila. Isolates SSU and Ah65 are of different origin and both are capable of producing either a cytotoxic enterotoxin or aerolysin. A cytotonic enterotoxin produced by diarrheal isolate SSU, which was purified and characterized in our laboratory, elevated intracellular cAMP and PgE2 levels in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Likewise, enterotoxic activity expressed by a cytotonic enterotoxin was detected in the culture filtrate of a fish isolate (Ah65) after cytotoxic activity was neutralized with homologous aerolysin monoclonal antibodies. This cytotonic enterotoxin also elevated intracellular cAMP and PgE2 levels in CHO cells, suggesting a cholera toxin-like mechanism of action for Aeromonas cytotonic enterotoxins.     

Molecular identification and characterization of turkey IFN-γ gene

The cDNAs of turkey and chicken interferon gamma (IFN-γ) were cloned and the functional activity of turkey and chicken IFN-γ was compared. The coding region of turkey IFN-γ gene encodes a predicted mature protein of 145 amino acids with a molecular weight at 16.8 kDa. Compared with type I IFN, the IFN-γ between turkey and chicken also had the same size and high degree of identity at the nucleotide (96.0%) and amino acid (96.4%) sequence. Turkey IFN-γ was cross-reactive with chicken cells. Both turkey and chicken IFN-γ could induce production of nitric oxide by turkey or chicken macrophages. Turkey IFN-γ also had similar degree of sensitivity to heat and pH 2.0 as chicken IFN-γ. The functional activity of both turkey and chicken IFN-γ could be neutralized by a monoclonal antibody specific to chicken IFN-γ to a similar extent. These results indicated that IFN-γ protein was cross-reactive between turkey and chicken.

特异性抗体效价检测技术概述

特异性抗体效价是生物制品活性(浓度)的重要标志,通常采用生物学方法来测定,并以抗体与其相应抗原反应产生的、可观察到的标准免疫反应来表示。抗原抗体间除发生特异性反应外,还会产生交叉反应,从而使特异性抗体效价的检测出现偏差,这在实际应用中亟需避免。特异性抗体效价检测技术是疾病诊断、特异性免疫球蛋白制备和疫苗评价等领域的关键技术,在生物制品质量控制及医学临床实践中意义重大。本文对抗体效价检测的常规技术及其研究进展进行简要综述,并对这些技术的特异性、灵敏性、检测周期及应用情况等方面进行比较分析,以期对特异性抗体效价检测技术有一个系统全面的认知,有利于研究人员在实际应用中选择合适的技术,共同推动抗体检测技术的发展。     

Comparative Seroepidemiologic Analysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chlamydophila Pneumoniae</Emphasis> Infection using Microimmunofluorescence,Enzyme Immunoassay and Neutralization Test: Implications for Serodiagnosis

A seroepidemiologic study using the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) technique was conducted to determine the prevalence of Chlamydophila pneumoniae IgG antibodies among 205 healthy Singapore university undergraduates using the MRL Diagnostics MIF test kit. The overall seroprevalence was 35.1% with significantly higher seropositivity rates among males than females (48.2 vs. 18.7%, P < 0.001). A comparative study using the Labsystems MIF test kit was conducted on sera from 192 students. Using the MRL MIF test as the reference, the sensitivity and specificity of Labsystems MIF test were 92.6 and 87.9%, respectively. A total of 78 samples comprising 15 MIF-negative and 63 MIF-positive samples were also tested for complement-independent neutralizing antibodies in vitro. All the 78 samples and 11 additional MIF-negative samples were also tested for IgM, IgG and IgA against C. pneumoniae by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) using the Labsystems EIA test kit. None of these 89 samples were seropositive for IgM. The percentages of IgG and IgA seropositivity increased with increasing grades of MIF-positivity. Among the IgG seropositive samples, 69.1% were also positive for IgA, suggesting that a high proportion of infected individuals also had IgA antibodies denoting chronicity. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 22.2% of MIF-positive sera, but only in 6.7% of MIF-negative sera. 26.4 and 34.2% of samples which were IgG and IgA seropositive respectively also exhibited neutralizing activity. The percentages of MIF-positive sera with neutralizing activity increased with the grade of MIF positivity, i.e. 0% (1+), 7.1% (2+), 18.8% (3+), and 63.6% (4+). High-grade MIF positivity (particularly with MRL MIF kits) may represent a useful serologic marker of predictive value for neutralizing activity.
