Type 2 porcine circovirus (PCV2) is associated with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in pigs, whereas the genetically related type 1 PCV (PCV1) is nonpathogenic. In this study, seven monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against PCV2-ORF2 capsid protein were generated, biologically characterized, and subsequently used to map the antigenic sites of PCV2 capsid protein by using infectious PCV DNA clones containing PCV1/PCV2-ORF2 chimeras. The PCV1/PCV2-ORF2 chimeras were constructed by serial deletions of PCV2-ORF2 and replacement with the corresponding sequences of the PCV1-ORF2. The reactivities of chimeric PCV1/PCV2 clones in transfected PK-15 cells with the seven MAbs were detected by an immunofluorescence assay (IFA). The chimera (r140) with a deletion of 47 amino acids at the N terminus of PCV2-ORF2 reacted strongly to all seven MAbs. Expanding the deletion of PCV2-ORF2 from residues 47 to 57 (r175) abolished the recognition of MAb 3B7, 3C11, 4A10, 6H2, or 8F6 to the chimera. Further deletion of PCV2-ORF2 to 62 residues disrupted the binding of this chimera to all seven MAbs. IFA reactivities with all MAbs were absent when residues 165 to 233 at the C terminus of PCV2-ORF2 was replaced with that of PCV1-ORF2. Extending the sequence of PCV2-ORF2 from residues 165 (r464) to 185 (r526), 200 (r588), or 224 (r652) restored the ability of the three chimeras to react with MAbs 3C11, 6H2, 9H7, and 12G3 but not with 8F6, 3B7, or 4A10. When the four amino acids at the C terminus of r588 were replaced with that of PCV2-ORF2, the resulting chimera (r588F) reacted with all seven MAbs. The results from this study suggest that these seven MAbs recognized at least five different but overlapping conformational epitopes within residues 47 to 63 and 165 to 200 and the last four amino acids at the C terminus of the PCV2 capsid protein. 相似文献

Y‐chromosomal variation in the water buffalo was analysed by sequencing of DBY, ZFY and SRY gene segments. A clear separation of the paternal lineages of the river and swamp types parallels the differences between their maternal lineages and nuclear DNA. Sequence divergence was found to be comparable to the divergence of taurine cattle and zebu, and this divergence predated domestication, confirming that river and swamp buffalo originated from different wild populations. Within a sample of 23 Thai swamp buffaloes, we identified four haplotypes with different geographical distributions, two of which were shared by Thai wild buffaloes. 相似文献

Nonstructural 3ABC protein of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) was widely used to differentiate vaccinated from natural FMDV-infected animals. 3ABC is a polyprotein which is auto-processed to 3A, three copies of 3B and 3C(pro) by 3C(pro) protease. The 3ABC gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as native or mutated 3ABC (mu3ABC) forms. Cysteine residues 142 and 163 of the catalytic triad within the 3C(pro) of mu3ABC were changed to serine and glycine, respectively, to inhibit its protease activity. Both native and mutated 3ABC ORFs were cloned into BamHI and HindIII restriction sites of an expression vector, pQE80L. The expression of the recombinant native 3ABC and mu3ABC genes in E. coli BL21 was induced with 0.2mM isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside at 37 °C for 5h. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis revealed that the full length 3ABC was present in the lysate from mu3ABC but not native 3ABC transformed cells. The recombinant mu3ABC was expressed mainly in the inclusion body and presented as monomer and dimer. In addition, the mu3ABC reacted strongly with a convalescent serum from a natural FMDV-infected cattle but very weakly with a serum from vaccinated cattle. This study clearly demonstrates that successful expression of the full length 3ABC occurs only when the protease active sites within the 3C(pro) were completely abolished. This information would accelerate in house development of the 3ABC-based diagnostic test that can distinguish between vaccinated and FMDV-infected animals. 相似文献

The swamp type of the Asian water buffalo is assumed to have been domesticated by about 4000 years BP, following the introduction of rice cultivation. Previous localizations of the domestication site were based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation within China, accounting only for the maternal lineage. We carried out a comprehensive sampling of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Nepal and Bangladesh and sequenced the mtDNA Cytochrome b gene and control region and the Y‐chromosomal ZFY, SRY and DBY sequences. Swamp buffalo has a higher diversity of both maternal and paternal lineages than river buffalo, with also a remarkable contrast between a weak phylogeographic structure of river buffalo and a strong geographic differentiation of swamp buffalo. The highest diversity of the swamp buffalo maternal lineages was found in south China and north Indochina on both banks of the Mekong River, while the highest diversity in paternal lineages was in the China/Indochina border region. We propose that domestication in this region was later followed by introgressive capture of wild cows west of the Mekong. Migration to the north followed the Yangtze valley as well as a more eastern route, but also involved translocations of both cows and bulls over large distances with a minor influence of river buffaloes in recent decades. Bayesian analyses of various migration models also supported domestication in the China/Indochina border region. Coalescence analysis yielded consistent estimates for the expansion of the major swamp buffalo haplogroups with a credibility interval of 900 to 3900 years BP. The spatial differentiation of mtDNA and Y‐chromosomal haplotype distributions indicates a lack of gene flow between established populations that is unprecedented in livestock. 相似文献

A novel V beta 2-specific endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus which is capable of producing a milk-borne exogenous virus. 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
We have previously reported new Mtv loci, Mtv-48 and -51, in the Japanese laboratory mouse strains CS and NC. Here we show by backcross analysis that both Mtv-48 and -51 cosegregate with very slow deletion of T cells bearing V beta 2. The nucleotide sequences of the open reading frames in the 3' long terminal repeats of Mtv-48 and -51 were very similar to those of Mtv-DDO, mouse mammary tumor virus C4 [MMTV(C4)], and MMTV(BALB/cV), which encode V beta 2-specific superantigens. Furthermore, backcross female mice carrying Mtv-48 but not Mtv-51 were found to be able to produce milk-borne MMTV(CS), which can vigorously stimulate V beta 2-expressing T cells after local injection in vivo in an I-E-dependent manner. On the other hand, mice carrying Mtv-51 but not Mtv-48 could not produce such an MMTV in milk. The nucleotide sequences of MMTV(CS) open reading frame were completely matched with those of Mtv-48. These results indicate that the provirus Mtv-48 but not Mtv-51 is capable of producing a milk-borne virus of which the superantigen stimulates V beta 2-expressing T cells. 相似文献

Several simian adenoviruses (AdVs) have been detected and isolated in various species of non-human primates with the goals of monitoring the health of wildlife and investigating their potential for zoonotic disease transmission. Here, we provide evidence of AdV infection in wild Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis assamensis) at Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand, based on polymerase chain reaction of non-invasively collected fecal samples. Eight out of 110 fecal samples (7.3%), or five out of 87 monkeys (5.7%), showed evidence of AdV infection. All infected individuals were infants or juveniles. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequence of hexon and polymerase genes revealed two different AdV genotypes. One genotype clustered in the human AdV-G group, while another showed 100% identity with previously reported AdVs of captive Chinese rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), which may be tentatively classified as a new species of AdV in non-human primates while awaiting further supporting evidence. 相似文献
