Development of an Inactivated Iridovirus Vaccine Against Turbot Viral Reddish Body Syndrome

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.

大菱鲆红体病虹彩病毒体外增殖条件的研究

探讨大菱鲆病毒疫苗的研制,以牙鲆鳃细胞(FG细胞)为增殖体系,利用细胞病变效应(CPE)为判断指标,对大菱鲆红体病虹彩病毒(Turbot reddish body iridovirus,TRBIV)的体外最适增殖条件等进行了研究。结果表明,病毒接种量、病毒吸附时间、细胞培养条件对TRBIV的体外增殖均有明显的影响,以0.2 mL病毒液接种FG细胞、吸附2 h、用含10%胎牛血清的MEM培养液于22℃培养时,病毒的增殖速度最快。研究还发现,病毒的收获时间和病毒液冻融次数对所得病毒的感染力均有显著影响,在最佳增殖条件下,病毒在FG细胞中增殖至第4天时进行收获,且只冻融1次,其感染活性最强,反复冻融后病毒的感染活性会显著降低。

雨生红球藻细胞类型转化影响因子的协同作用

将培养到营养生长对数期的雨生红球藻细胞转移到胁迫环境中,探讨胁迫因子对雨生红球藻细胞类型转化的影响及各影响因子间的协同作用.结果表明,氮胁迫能诱导雨生红球藻从绿色游动细胞转变成红色不动细胞,培养基中磷胁迫和醋酸钠刺激能大大加快这一转化的速率.同时,高pH值、高盐度和强光照均能促进雨生红球藻细胞类型的转化,高盐度和强光照对转化效率的影响存在协同效应.
