对粉纹夜蛾Trichoplusia ni细胞系QB-Tn9-4s进行细胞克隆,获得了8个细胞克降株,分别命名为QB-Tn-A、B、C、D、E、F、G和H.对基因组DNA进行RAPD-PCR鉴定,各细胞克隆株与原始细胞系具有相同的DNA扩增谱带.各细胞克隆株在形态和生物学特性方面表现出一定的差异.克隆株QB-Tn-A、B、c、D和E以梭形细胞为主,大约占细胞总数的60%～80%;F、G和H以棒状细胞为主,比例分别为44.5%、49.5%和80.O%.8个克隆株对苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒(AcMNPV)均较敏感,感染率均在92%以上,平均每个细胞病毒多角体(OBs)产量在78～110个之间,其中克隆株QB-Tn-A多角体产量最高达110个,略高于BTI-Tn5Bl-4和QB-Tn9-4s,明显高于Sf-9细胞;克隆株QB-Tn-E、H、A和C的fIJ芽性病毒(BV)产量与原始细胞系(3.37×107TCID50/mL)接近,而其它4株均低于原始细胞系.

对采自伊朗阿塞拜疆东部西红柿大田的棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera核型多角体病毒3个分离株［Maragheh (MRG), Nebrin (NBN)和 Marand (MRD)］繁殖的3个主要参数（幼虫期、 接种剂量和培养温度）进行了研究, 以在室内条件下筛选很有前景的分离株。在测试的各龄幼虫中, 5龄初期幼虫的病毒产量最高。最适接种剂量和接种温度分别为1 965.87 OB/mm² 和25℃。而在所有测试中, 采自Nebrin 的NBN分离株在规模化生产中表现最佳。     

AcMNPV as a model for baculovirus DNA replication

Baculoviruses were first identified as insect-specific pathogens, and it was this specificity that lead to their use as safe, target specific biological pesticides. For the past 30 years, AcMNPV has served as the subject of intense basic molecular research into the baculovirus infectious cycle including the interaction of the virus with a continuous insect cell line derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. The studies on baculoviruese have led to an in-depth understanding of the physical organization of the viral genomes including many complete genomic sequences, the time course of gene expression, and the application of this basic research to the use of baculoviruses not only as insecticides, but also as a universal eukaryotic protein expression system, and a potential vector in gene therapy. A great deal has also been discovered about the viral genes required for the replication of the baculovirus genome, while much remains to be learned about the mechanism of viral DNA replication. This report outlines the current knowledge of the factors involved in baculovirus DNA replication, using data on AcMNPV as a model for most members of the Baculoviridae.     

The development of larval resistance to a nucleopolyhedrovirus is not accompanied by an increased virulence in the virus

Two laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the possible coevolution of cabbage loopers (Trichoplusia ni) and their S nucleopolyhedrovirus (TnSNPV). At the conclusion of Experiments 1 and 2, T. ni had respectively evolved 4.4 × and 22 × resistance to TnSNPV. The higher level of resistance achieved in Experiment 2 could be due to marginally stronger selection, possibly greater genetic variability in larval resistance to TnSNPV, or both. However, the evolution of resistance was not accompanied by an increased virulence of TnSNPV or a change in the restriction profile of the viral DNA when digested with BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, PstI, SalI, SstI or XhoI. Little genetic variability for virulence in the initial TnSNPV stocks, low mutation rates and possibly weak selection on the virus are some factors that may have constrained the evolution of TnSNPV. We discuss our results in light of the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution and their implications for the use of TnSNPV as a biological control agent against T. ni.

含外源类蜗牛毒素基因的AcMNPV的虫体感染性研究

类蜗牛毒素基因(conotoxinlike,ctl)是在一些杆状病毒基因组中存在的与蜗牛毒素类似的一类基因,其功能尚不清楚.本文利用苜蓿银纹夜蛾核多角病毒(AcMNPV)bacmid表达系统构建了含油桐尺蠖核多角体病毒(BusuNPV)ctl基因的重组病毒AcBac-ph-ctl.在细胞水平上对ctl基因的RT-PCR分析表明,该基因转录出mRNA.在甜菜夜蛾体内进行了生物活性测定,结果表明AcBac-ph-ctl与对照野生型AcMNPV的LC50,ST50无显著性差异,表明在此系统中,外源的CTL无杀虫增效性能.     

日本三株斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒的增殖特性及其多角体蛋白基因的序列分析

利用斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura培养细胞,对近年来在日本本州、九州和四国等地发现并筛选出的对斜纹夜蛾幼虫具有强烈杀虫活性的3株斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒(SpltMNPV)（K-3、G1-2和G10-3）进行了生物学活性和分子生物学的初步研究,克隆了多角体蛋白基因,并进行了序列分析和比较。结果表明:（1）SpltMNPV日本分离株K-3、G1-2和G10-3分别具有不同的特征性酶切图谱,分别属于3种基因型（A型、B型和C型）; （2）3个分离株的芽生型病毒（budded virus）产生能力和多角体产生能力有差异,免疫印迹分析表明,多角体蛋白的分子量也不同;（3）日本株SpltMNPV核型多角体蛋白结构基因由747个核苷酸编码序列（编码249个氨基酸）组成,其序列与中国株SpltMNPV的同源性为98.9%,与其他6种核型多角体病毒有较高的同源性（61.7%～74.2%）,但其5′端侧翼序列(nt-1～-100)与AcMNPV和BmNPV相比差异显著,在对该基因表达调控起决定性作用的8个高度保守核苷酸序列中（nt-44～-51）有2处发生自然突变。
