Anti-LGI1 AE has increasingly been considered a primary form of AE. Early identification and treatment of this disease are clearly very important.CASE SUMMARY Here, we report that a male patient developed severe anti-LGI1 encephalitis, which was initially misdiagnosed as a sleep disturbance. He was hospitalized for epileptic seizures and typical FBDSs half a month after he developed sleep disturbances. LGI1 antibodies were detected in his cerebrospinal fluid and serum(1:100 and 1:3.2, respectively), which led to the diagnosis of classic anti-LGI1 AE. No obvious abnormality was observed on brain computed tomography images. T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and T2-weighted scans of brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed slightly elevated signals within the left basal ganglia area. No tumor was detected within the brain of this patient using MRI. After hormone and antiepileptic drug treatment, the patient’s symptoms improved significantly.CONCLUSION Anti-LGI1 antibody-associated encephalitis has characteristic clinical manifestations, such as cognitive impairment, psychiatric symptoms, seizures, sleep disorders, hyponatremia, and FBDSs. LGI1 antibodies are present in the serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid, but their production is sensitive to immunosuppressants, and this disease has a relatively good prognosis. In particular, we should be aware of the possibility of anti-LGI1 antibody-associated encephalitis in adolescents with sleep disorders to avoid missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses.展开更多

The determination was performed on an Agilent HP-INNOWAX(30 m ? 0.32 mm i.d., 0.25 mm) capillary column at the temperature of 80 °C.Electrospray ionization(ESI) was used by selective ion detection at m/z 42. The temperature for ESI source and inlet was set at 230 °C and 200 °C, respectively. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 25.1 m L/min. The total run time was 8 min. Acetonitrile and other components in the sample did not interfere with the determination of BPL. The results showed good linearity of BPL in the range of0.50–10.01 μg/mL, with the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of 0.015 μg/mL and0.050 μg/mL, respectively. Satisfactory precision was achieved for the current developed method. The method was applied to detect 6 batches of vaccine samples, and the results indicated that the target analyte BPL was present in three batches of unpurified samples, but was not detected in the purified samples, indicating the test samples were qualified. The established method was proved to be simple,versatile and sensitive, which can meet the requirements of quality control of BPL in human inactivated rabies vaccine.展开更多

Recombinant plL-2 (rpIL-2) expressed in Sf9 insect cells was detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunofluorescence assay. Western blot analysis confirmed that the rpIL-2 protein had a molecular mass of 20 kDa, which was larger than the molecular mass of the mature protein predicted based on its peptide sequence. The rpIL-2 protein induced in vitro proliferation of ConA-stimulated porcine splenocytes and enhanced in vivo protective immune responses induced by vaccinating the pigs with inactivated oil emulsion vaccine against swine influenza virus. The results showed that the rpIL-2 expressed in Sf9 insect cells has immunoenhancement effects; the finding lays the foundation for the preparation of a specific recombinant IL-2 protein and the development of a novel immune adjuvant of vaccines against various infectious porcine pathogens to increase the immunoprotective efficacy of vaccines.展开更多

Thus, veterinary authority requires large quantity of diagnostic tools to survey vector-borne diseases. New producing method having a relation with JE antigen is needed to substitute conventional sucrose-acetone extraction method using suckling mouse. So, we developed new manufacturing method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) was propagated in roller bottle containing Vero cell and inactivated with two kinds of inactivating reagents. Viability of the supernatant of bulk containing antigen was checked using Vero cell after inactivation. The supernatant did not show hemagglutination (HA) activity with goose erythrocytes. The antigen inactivated by binary ethylenimine (BEI) and concentrated by PEG precipitation method was found to be 2048 HA, but the antigen inactivated by 0.3% formaldehyde solution and concentrated by PEG precipitation method did not show HA titer. The antigen prepared from mice brain using sucrose-acetone extraction method showed 256 HA titer. This BEI inactivation method does not evoke animal welfare problem and can replace the conventional method that required biological hazardous reagents and suckling mice in preparing HA antigen. This new BEI inactivation method was safe in producing HA antigen against JEV in laboratory and can reduce environmental contamination of acetone.展开更多

Methods PC3 cells were treated with HVJ-E at various multiplicity of infection(MOI), and the generated reactive oxygen species(ROS), cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy were detected, respectively. Next, the role of ROS played in the regulation of HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuphagy in PC3 cells were analysed. In the end, the relationship between HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuophagy was investigated by using rapamycin and chloroquine. Results Flow cytometry assay revealed that HVJ-E treatment induced dose-dependent apoptosis and that the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways were involved in HVJ-E-induced apoptosis in PC3 cells. In addition, HVJ-E was able to induce autophagy in PC3 cells via the class III PI3 K/beclin-1 pathway. The data also implyed that HVJ-E-triggered autophagy and apoptosis were ROS dependent. When ROS was blocked with N-acetylcysteine(NAC), HVJ-E-induced LC3-II conversion and apoptosis were reversed. Interestingly, HVJ-E-induced apoptosis was significantly increased by an inducer of autophagy, rapamycin pretreatment, both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion HVJ-E exerts anticancer effects via autophagic cell death in prostate cancer cells.展开更多

METHODS A total of 366 stool specimens were collected from hospitalized children in hospitals in Yunnan Province from September 2010 to December 2013. The genomic RNA electropherotypes and the G genotypes of the rotaviruses were determined. A phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 gene was performed. Rotavirus isolation was performed, and characterized by plaque, minimum essential medium, and all genes sequence analysis. Quantification of antibodies for inactivated vaccine prepared with ZTR-68 was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and microneutralization assay.RESULTS Group A human rotavirus was detected in 177 of 366(48.4%) stool samples using a colloidal gold device assay. The temporal distribution of rotavirus cases showed significant correlation with the mean air temperature. Rotaviruses were isolated from 13% of the rotavirus-positive samples. The predominant genotype was G1(43.5%), followed by G3(21.7%), G9(17.4%), G2(4.3%), G4(8.7%), and mixed(4.3%) among a total of 23 rotavirus isolates. A rotavirus strain was isolated from a rotavirus-positive stool sample of a 4-month-old child in The First People's Hospital of Zhaotong(2010) for use as a candidate human inactivated rotavirus vaccine strain and for further research, and was designated ZTR-68. The genotype of 11 gene segments of strain ZTR-68(RVA/Human-wt/CHN/ZTR-68/2010/G1P[8]) was characterized. The genotype constellation of strain ZTR-68 was identified as G1-P[8]-I1-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T1-E1-H1. The VP7 and VP4 genotypes of strain ZTR-68 were similar to Wa-like strains.CONCLUSIONS A high prevalence of the G1, G2, and G3 genotypes was detected from 2010 to 2012. However, a dominant prevalence of the G9 genotype was identified as the cause of gastroenteritis in children in Yunnan, China, in 2013. A candidate human inactivated rotavirus vaccine strain, designated ZTR-68 was isolated, characterized, and showed immunogenicity. Our data will be useful for the future formulation and development of a vaccine in China.展开更多

The adverse effects of FMD vaccine to pigs, cattle and goats have been reported increasingly frequent during the spring and autumn seasons when large numbers of farm livestock are vaccinated. The financial losses caused by vaccine adverse effects have been a serious concern for both farmers and primary prevention personnel. There are various causative factors reported to involve into adverse effect of FMD vaccine, including the inappropriate vaccine production, transportation and storage, livestock poor tolerance, and unqualified vaccinating manipulations. Symptomatic treatment and early drug prevention have a certain effect on the adverse effects. To analyze causes and propose countermeasures, in the current study possible reasons during the production and processing procedures of inactivated FMD vaccine were reviewed and corresponding countermeasures were recommended. The review may provide references for better use of vaccine to prevent FMD.展开更多

However, some types of cancers, such as melanoma, remain refractory to conventional strategies. Although melanoma accounts for only 4% of all dermatological malignancies, it is responsible for 80% of mortalities from skin tumors[11. The reported survival rate of melanoma over 5 years is not yet encouraging due to its chemo-resistance and rapid metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new drugs with potent activity and weak side-effect against melanoma.展开更多

The experimental design included 60 gilts and 9 boars equal distribution in two farms free of antibody for PRRSV at the beginning of the experiment for two consecutive months. These gilts and boars were randomly assigned to three treatment groups equally designated as groupsⅠ~Ⅲ. GroupⅠwas inoculated intramuscularly with RespPRRSV/Repro vaccine. Group Ⅱ was inoculated intramuscularly with native multivalent inactivated vaccine. Group Ⅲ was sham-inoculated intramuscularly with saline as control. Gilts and boars were inoculated again at six months intervals during the consecutive 2 years. The neonatal piglets of three groups were inoculated the same vaccine as their parents one week before weaning (piglets were 25 days). Then antibody anti-PRRSV was detected in sera obtained from gilts, boars and piglets. Biological tissue samples were collected from the recently deceased or sacrificed pigs which presented with similar PRRS symptoms. Virus isolation and viral RNA using RT-nPCR were carried through in collected tissue samples, sera and semen. Productive performances of pigs were also evaluated in this project. The results showed all the indexes in groupⅡwere very similar to that of groupⅠexcept the virus isolation and viral RNA detection. Control group had more virus isolates and viral RNA detection than inoculated groups. The rate of piglets surviving, born dead and postnatal deaths and fattening differed significantly (P<(0.05)) between experiment groups and control. This was implied that pigs inoculated with native inactivated vaccine had the similarity immune efficacy to that of pigs inoculated attenuated vaccine. This is the first large-scale to evaluation the immune efficacy of native multivalent inactivated vaccine against PRRSV in field trial. Inoculating native inactivated multivalent vaccine is also an effective measure to prevent PRRS in Shanghai pig farms and this can reduce the risk of vaccine virus shedding because of inoculating the attenuated vaccine.展开更多

Four groups of normal chickens of 2 - 7 days of age were given injections for immunization, respectively. Another group was used as control. This study was expected to evaluate the immunological effect and discuss the immunological mechanism by means of five different experiments, i.e. the agar-gel precipitin test, the isolation of lymphokine, the isolation, purification and analysis of blood serum IgG, embryo-susceptibility test, and clinical and pathological examination. The results of these experiments indicated that oil emulsion inactivated vaccine is safe and effective. The chickens were normal when inoculated with AE strong virus after immunity at 4 and 37 weeks. Immunological mechanism is that the humoral immunity played an important role and celluar immunity exists, but it is not important in the process of the resistance to AEV.展开更多

文摘Our previous study found that feeding with Lactobacillus plantarum Ep-M17 could effectively affect the growth performance,immune response,and gut microbiota of Penaeus vannamei.However,high temperature and pressure during feed pelletizing is the main problem that can lead to a decrease in the activity of probiotics or cause their inactivation.Further investigation needs to investigate whether inactivated Ep-M17 can exert similar effects as live Ep-M17.Therefore,we evaluated the effects of inactivated L.plantarum Ep-M17 on growth performance,immune response,disease resistance,and gut microbiota in P.vannamei.Results show that adding inactivated Ep-M17 to the feed also promoted body weight gain and increased relative immune protection in shrimp.Also,histological examination revealed that the administration of inactivated Ep-M17 led to improvements in the density and distribution of microvilli in the intestines and enhancements in the abundance of B and R cells in the hepatopancreas.Additionally,the inactivated Ep-M17 supplementation resulted in increased activity levels of nutrient immune-related enzymes in both the shrimp hepatopancreas and intestines.Moreover,it stimulated the expression of Lvlec,PEN-3a,Crustin,LGBP,Lysozyme,and proPo genes in both the hepatopancreas and intestines.Furthermore,the inactivated Ep-M17 also increased bacterial diversity in the gut of shrimp and promoted the abundance of specific flora,facilitating the host organism’s metabolism and immunity to improve the disease resistance of shrimp.Therefore,supplementation of inactivated L.plantarum Ep-M17 in shrimp diets can exert similar effects as live L.plantarum Ep-M17 effectively improving growth performance,gut microbiota,immune response,and disease resistance in P.vannamei.

文摘Objective:Analyze the relationship between inoculating one case of the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine(Vero cell)and immune thrombocytopenic purpura to provide a reference for the standardized handling of adverse events following immunization.Methods:According to the"National Monitoring Program for Suspected Adverse Reactions to Vaccinations,"an on-site investigation,data collection and analysis,expert group diagnosis,and medical association assessment were conducted on a case of immune thrombocytopenic purpura in District A of Chongqing after vaccination with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine.The assessment report was delivered to the three relevant parties,the case was reviewed,and the experience was summarized.Results:The investigation and diagnosis by the district-level vaccination abnormal reaction expert group concluded that the disease that occurred after vaccination with the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine was secondary immune thrombocytopenic purpura,an abnormal reaction to the vaccination.The medical damage was classified as Level II Grade B.The vaccine production enterprise raised objections to this conclusion.After re-assessment by the municipal-level medical association,the conclusion was consistent with that of the district-level medical association.The vaccine production enterprise did not raise any further objections.Conclusion:Through active collaboration among district and municipal-level medical associations,disease control institutions,and vaccination units,the recipients have been promptly and effectively treated,providing financial support for their subsequent treatment and safeguarding their rights.The investigation and disposal procedures for adverse events following immunization in Chongqing are clear,and the mechanism is sound.It is necessary to continue strengthening the monitoring of adverse events following immunization according to the existing plan and to ensure timely and standardized handling.Simultaneously,it is crucial to strengthen vaccine management and vaccination management.
文摘BACKGROUND Anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1(anti-LGI1) encephalitis is an infrequent type of autoimmune encephalitis(AE) characterized by acute or subacute cognitive and psychiatric disturbance, facio-brachial dystonic seizures(FBDSs), and hyponatremia. Anti-LGI1 AE has increasingly been considered a primary form of AE. Early identification and treatment of this disease are clearly very important.CASE SUMMARY Here, we report that a male patient developed severe anti-LGI1 encephalitis, which was initially misdiagnosed as a sleep disturbance. He was hospitalized for epileptic seizures and typical FBDSs half a month after he developed sleep disturbances. LGI1 antibodies were detected in his cerebrospinal fluid and serum(1:100 and 1:3.2, respectively), which led to the diagnosis of classic anti-LGI1 AE. No obvious abnormality was observed on brain computed tomography images. T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and T2-weighted scans of brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed slightly elevated signals within the left basal ganglia area. No tumor was detected within the brain of this patient using MRI. After hormone and antiepileptic drug treatment, the patient’s symptoms improved significantly.CONCLUSION Anti-LGI1 antibody-associated encephalitis has characteristic clinical manifestations, such as cognitive impairment, psychiatric symptoms, seizures, sleep disorders, hyponatremia, and FBDSs. LGI1 antibodies are present in the serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid, but their production is sensitive to immunosuppressants, and this disease has a relatively good prognosis. In particular, we should be aware of the possibility of anti-LGI1 antibody-associated encephalitis in adolescents with sleep disorders to avoid missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses.

文摘Vibrio scophthalmi and Aeromonas salmonicida can cause high turbot mortality and huge economic losses.Presently,vaccination is the most promising method for preventing communicable diseases.In this study,we used formalin to kill V.scophthalmi and A.salmonicida cells,and mixed with the mineralized oil adjuvant(Montanide^(TM)ISA 763 AVG)to prepare the bivalent inactivated vaccine.The results showed that turbot inoculated with the bivalent inactivated vaccine exhibited strong tolerance to the infection of V.scophthalmi and A.salmonicida,and no obvious clinical symptoms and pathological changes were observed.The activities of enzymes lysozyme,acid phosphatase and complement C3 had significantly increased after the vaccination.The antibody titer response of vaccinated turbot was greatly boosted,which was positively connected with the immunological impact according to ELISA results.Simultaneously,the expression levels of immune-related genes such as MHC-IIα,MHC-IIβ,CD4,CD8,TNF-αand IL^(-1)βwere up-regulated,demonstrating that it might stimulate humoral and cellular immunological response in turbot.These findings highlight the potential of the bivalent inactivated vaccine for controlling V.scophthalmi and A.salmonicida infections in turbot.

文摘The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the inactivation effect of intense pulsed light(IPL)on Aeromonas salmonicida grown on chicken meat and skin,and to further develop prediction models of inactivation.In this work,chicken meat and skin inoculated with meat-borne A.salmonicida isolates were subjected to IPL treatments under different conditions.The results showed that IPL had obvious bactericidal effect in the chicken skin and thickness groups when the treatment voltage and time were 7 V combined with 5 s.In addition,the lethality curves of A.salmonicida were fitted under IPL conditions of 3.5-7.5 V.The comparison of statistical parameters revealed that the Weibull model could best fit the mortality curves and could accurately predict the mortality dynamic of A.salmonicida grown on chicken skin.And further a secondary model between the scale factor b and the treatment voltage in Weibull model was established using linear equations,which determined that the secondary model could accurately predict the inactivation of A.salmonicida.This study provides a theoretical basis for future prediction models of Aeromonas,and also provides new ideas for sterilization approaches of meat-borne Aeromonas.

文摘A simple method was established for the determination of β-propiolactone(BPL) in human inactivated rabies vaccine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). The determination was performed on an Agilent HP-INNOWAX(30 m ? 0.32 mm i.d., 0.25 mm) capillary column at the temperature of 80 °C.Electrospray ionization(ESI) was used by selective ion detection at m/z 42. The temperature for ESI source and inlet was set at 230 °C and 200 °C, respectively. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 25.1 m L/min. The total run time was 8 min. Acetonitrile and other components in the sample did not interfere with the determination of BPL. The results showed good linearity of BPL in the range of0.50–10.01 μg/mL, with the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of 0.015 μg/mL and0.050 μg/mL, respectively. Satisfactory precision was achieved for the current developed method. The method was applied to detect 6 batches of vaccine samples, and the results indicated that the target analyte BPL was present in three batches of unpurified samples, but was not detected in the purified samples, indicating the test samples were qualified. The established method was proved to be simple,versatile and sensitive, which can meet the requirements of quality control of BPL in human inactivated rabies vaccine.

文摘Mature porcine interleukin-2 (pIL-2) gene was amplified by PCR from the plasmid pGEM-T-pIL2 and cloned into the baculovirus pFastBacTM Dual vector of the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system under the control of the PH promoter. Recombinant plL-2 (rpIL-2) expressed in Sf9 insect cells was detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunofluorescence assay. Western blot analysis confirmed that the rpIL-2 protein had a molecular mass of 20 kDa, which was larger than the molecular mass of the mature protein predicted based on its peptide sequence. The rpIL-2 protein induced in vitro proliferation of ConA-stimulated porcine splenocytes and enhanced in vivo protective immune responses induced by vaccinating the pigs with inactivated oil emulsion vaccine against swine influenza virus. The results showed that the rpIL-2 expressed in Sf9 insect cells has immunoenhancement effects; the finding lays the foundation for the preparation of a specific recombinant IL-2 protein and the development of a novel immune adjuvant of vaccines against various infectious porcine pathogens to increase the immunoprotective efficacy of vaccines.
文摘Severe climate change and global warming may impact significantly on vector-borne disease including Japanese encephalitis (JE) infection in human and animals. Thus, veterinary authority requires large quantity of diagnostic tools to survey vector-borne diseases. New producing method having a relation with JE antigen is needed to substitute conventional sucrose-acetone extraction method using suckling mouse. So, we developed new manufacturing method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) was propagated in roller bottle containing Vero cell and inactivated with two kinds of inactivating reagents. Viability of the supernatant of bulk containing antigen was checked using Vero cell after inactivation. The supernatant did not show hemagglutination (HA) activity with goose erythrocytes. The antigen inactivated by binary ethylenimine (BEI) and concentrated by PEG precipitation method was found to be 2048 HA, but the antigen inactivated by 0.3% formaldehyde solution and concentrated by PEG precipitation method did not show HA titer. The antigen prepared from mice brain using sucrose-acetone extraction method showed 256 HA titer. This BEI inactivation method does not evoke animal welfare problem and can replace the conventional method that required biological hazardous reagents and suckling mice in preparing HA antigen. This new BEI inactivation method was safe in producing HA antigen against JEV in laboratory and can reduce environmental contamination of acetone.

文摘Objective The current study aims to investigate the effect of Hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope(HVJ-E) on induction of apoptosis and autophagy in human prostate cancer PC3 cells, and the underlying mechanisms. Methods PC3 cells were treated with HVJ-E at various multiplicity of infection(MOI), and the generated reactive oxygen species(ROS), cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy were detected, respectively. Next, the role of ROS played in the regulation of HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuphagy in PC3 cells were analysed. In the end, the relationship between HVJ-E-induced apoptosis and autuophagy was investigated by using rapamycin and chloroquine. Results Flow cytometry assay revealed that HVJ-E treatment induced dose-dependent apoptosis and that the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways were involved in HVJ-E-induced apoptosis in PC3 cells. In addition, HVJ-E was able to induce autophagy in PC3 cells via the class III PI3 K/beclin-1 pathway. The data also implyed that HVJ-E-triggered autophagy and apoptosis were ROS dependent. When ROS was blocked with N-acetylcysteine(NAC), HVJ-E-induced LC3-II conversion and apoptosis were reversed. Interestingly, HVJ-E-induced apoptosis was significantly increased by an inducer of autophagy, rapamycin pretreatment, both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion HVJ-E exerts anticancer effects via autophagic cell death in prostate cancer cells.

文摘AIM To determine the distribution of rotavirus VP7 gene in hospitalized children in Yunnan, China. METHODS A total of 366 stool specimens were collected from hospitalized children in hospitals in Yunnan Province from September 2010 to December 2013. The genomic RNA electropherotypes and the G genotypes of the rotaviruses were determined. A phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 gene was performed. Rotavirus isolation was performed, and characterized by plaque, minimum essential medium, and all genes sequence analysis. Quantification of antibodies for inactivated vaccine prepared with ZTR-68 was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and microneutralization assay.RESULTS Group A human rotavirus was detected in 177 of 366(48.4%) stool samples using a colloidal gold device assay. The temporal distribution of rotavirus cases showed significant correlation with the mean air temperature. Rotaviruses were isolated from 13% of the rotavirus-positive samples. The predominant genotype was G1(43.5%), followed by G3(21.7%), G9(17.4%), G2(4.3%), G4(8.7%), and mixed(4.3%) among a total of 23 rotavirus isolates. A rotavirus strain was isolated from a rotavirus-positive stool sample of a 4-month-old child in The First People's Hospital of Zhaotong(2010) for use as a candidate human inactivated rotavirus vaccine strain and for further research, and was designated ZTR-68. The genotype of 11 gene segments of strain ZTR-68(RVA/Human-wt/CHN/ZTR-68/2010/G1P[8]) was characterized. The genotype constellation of strain ZTR-68 was identified as G1-P[8]-I1-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T1-E1-H1. The VP7 and VP4 genotypes of strain ZTR-68 were similar to Wa-like strains.CONCLUSIONS A high prevalence of the G1, G2, and G3 genotypes was detected from 2010 to 2012. However, a dominant prevalence of the G9 genotype was identified as the cause of gastroenteritis in children in Yunnan, China, in 2013. A candidate human inactivated rotavirus vaccine strain, designated ZTR-68 was isolated, characterized, and showed immunogenicity. Our data will be useful for the future formulation and development of a vaccine in China.
文摘Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, and Chinese government adopts compulsory immunization measures for FMD. The adverse effects of FMD vaccine to pigs, cattle and goats have been reported increasingly frequent during the spring and autumn seasons when large numbers of farm livestock are vaccinated. The financial losses caused by vaccine adverse effects have been a serious concern for both farmers and primary prevention personnel. There are various causative factors reported to involve into adverse effect of FMD vaccine, including the inappropriate vaccine production, transportation and storage, livestock poor tolerance, and unqualified vaccinating manipulations. Symptomatic treatment and early drug prevention have a certain effect on the adverse effects. To analyze causes and propose countermeasures, in the current study possible reasons during the production and processing procedures of inactivated FMD vaccine were reviewed and corresponding countermeasures were recommended. The review may provide references for better use of vaccine to prevent FMD.

文摘The mortality of cancer patients has considerably improved due to progress in surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, some types of cancers, such as melanoma, remain refractory to conventional strategies. Although melanoma accounts for only 4% of all dermatological malignancies, it is responsible for 80% of mortalities from skin tumors[11. The reported survival rate of melanoma over 5 years is not yet encouraging due to its chemo-resistance and rapid metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new drugs with potent activity and weak side-effect against melanoma.

文摘Turbot(Scophthalmus maximus L.) reddish body iridovirus(TRBIV) was propagated in turbot fin cells(TF cells) and inactivated as the TRBIV vaccine with its protection efficiency evaluated in this study.TF cells were cultured in 10% bovine calf serum(BCS)-containing MEM medium(pH7.0) at 22℃,in which TRBIV propagated to a titer as high as 105.6 TCID50 mL-1.The TRBIV was inactivated with 0.1% formalin and formulated with 0.5% aluminum hydroxide.The inactivated vaccine caused neither cytopathogenic effect(CPE) on TF cells nor pathogenic effect on turbots.After being administered with the vaccine twice via muscle injection,the turbot developed high-tittered TRBIV neutralizing antibodies in a dose-dependent manner.The vaccine protected the turbot from dying with an immunoprotection rate of 83.3% as was determined via subcutaneous vaccination in the laboratory and 90.5% via bath vaccination in turbot farms,respectively.The inactivated vaccine was very immunogenic,efficiently preventing tur-bot from death.It holds the potential of being applied in aquaculture.
文摘The primary objective of this study was to evaluation the immune efficacy of native inactivated vaccine against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. The experimental design included 60 gilts and 9 boars equal distribution in two farms free of antibody for PRRSV at the beginning of the experiment for two consecutive months. These gilts and boars were randomly assigned to three treatment groups equally designated as groupsⅠ~Ⅲ. GroupⅠwas inoculated intramuscularly with RespPRRSV/Repro vaccine. Group Ⅱ was inoculated intramuscularly with native multivalent inactivated vaccine. Group Ⅲ was sham-inoculated intramuscularly with saline as control. Gilts and boars were inoculated again at six months intervals during the consecutive 2 years. The neonatal piglets of three groups were inoculated the same vaccine as their parents one week before weaning (piglets were 25 days). Then antibody anti-PRRSV was detected in sera obtained from gilts, boars and piglets. Biological tissue samples were collected from the recently deceased or sacrificed pigs which presented with similar PRRS symptoms. Virus isolation and viral RNA using RT-nPCR were carried through in collected tissue samples, sera and semen. Productive performances of pigs were also evaluated in this project. The results showed all the indexes in groupⅡwere very similar to that of groupⅠexcept the virus isolation and viral RNA detection. Control group had more virus isolates and viral RNA detection than inoculated groups. The rate of piglets surviving, born dead and postnatal deaths and fattening differed significantly (P<(0.05)) between experiment groups and control. This was implied that pigs inoculated with native inactivated vaccine had the similarity immune efficacy to that of pigs inoculated attenuated vaccine. This is the first large-scale to evaluation the immune efficacy of native multivalent inactivated vaccine against PRRSV in field trial. Inoculating native inactivated multivalent vaccine is also an effective measure to prevent PRRS in Shanghai pig farms and this can reduce the risk of vaccine virus shedding because of inoculating the attenuated vaccine.
文摘Oil emulsion inactivated vaccine was prepared by susceptible embryos, with different strains of AEV. Four groups of normal chickens of 2 - 7 days of age were given injections for immunization, respectively. Another group was used as control. This study was expected to evaluate the immunological effect and discuss the immunological mechanism by means of five different experiments, i.e. the agar-gel precipitin test, the isolation of lymphokine, the isolation, purification and analysis of blood serum IgG, embryo-susceptibility test, and clinical and pathological examination. The results of these experiments indicated that oil emulsion inactivated vaccine is safe and effective. The chickens were normal when inoculated with AE strong virus after immunity at 4 and 37 weeks. Immunological mechanism is that the humoral immunity played an important role and celluar immunity exists, but it is not important in the process of the resistance to AEV.

文摘Potency is one of the most important indexes of inactivated vaccines.A number of methods have been established to assay the potency,of which the NIH test and single-dose mouse protection test are the "prescribed methods".Here,we report a method to semi-quantitatively assay the potency of an inactivated rabies vaccine,which uses fewer animals and takes less time to complete.Depending on the quality requirements of a vaccine(e.g.minimum potency),a rabies reference vaccine is,for example,diluted to the minimum potency,and 50 μL of the dilution is taken to inoculate 10 mice.The same amount of the test rabies vaccine is inoculated into another 10 mice.After two weeks,all mice are bled and serum samples are assayed for viral neutralizing antibody by the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization(FAVN) test.By comparing the median and interquartile range of antibody titers of the reference vaccine with those of the test vaccine,the test vaccine potency can be semi-quantitatively judged as to whether it is in accord with the required quality.The reliability of this method was also confirmed in dogs.The procedure can be recommended for batch potency testing during inactivated rabies vaccine production.
