Among the two fusion cell strains, 8C9 belonged to the IgG1 subclass and 4B4 belonged to the IgG2a subclass. The titers in cell culture supematant and abdomen liquor reached to 1：104and 1：105, respectively. The specificity test indicated that the two cells had specific reactions for the PRRSV and GP5 protein respectively, and no reaction with Classical swine fever virus （CSFV） or Swine vesicular disease virus （SVDV）. The molecular weights of the heavy chain and light chain were about 45.0 kDa and 25.0 kDa, respectively. In neutralization activity tests, the results showed that the prepared mAb 4B4 can protect 50% of cells with no CPE in dilution up to 1：512, but mAB 8C9 has no neutralization activities to PRRSV.展开更多

Methods: Some amino acid sequences of β chemokine superfamily receptors were aligned by computer and the least homologous domain of the extracellular loops was located. In this paper, the first extracellular domain (114 nucleotides) was defined and amplified by PCR, and a expression vector of the recombinant GST fusion protein,pGEXIN/NR5, was constructed. After the inserted sequence was confirmed correct, the transformation and expression of fusion protein was performed in E. coli and the fusion protein was purified. Then 2 Newzealand rabbits were immunized. The anti-CCR5 NH2-terminal antibody F(ab’ )2 was made by protein A affinity chromatography, pepsin digestion and sepharose-12 column chromatography. Results: Reduced and unreduced SDS-PAGE and FAX analysis demonstrated that this F(ab’ )2 had a high specificity to combine with CCR5. Conclusion: A simple and quick method to prepare specific antibody F(ab’ )2 of certain functional domain is showed in this paper, by which we can get an improtant experiment material for studying gene expression, and it will provide a good idea and a technique to study other high similar superfamily members.展开更多

Methods In Escherichia coli BL21,the prokaryotic expression vector pET32a(+)-NS5ATP5 was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG),and it was analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting. And the purified protein was used to immunize the rabbit to prepare polyclonal antibody,with which we studied the function of NS5ATP5 by determining the different liver tissues with the streptavidin-perosidase (SP) immunohistochemistry method. Results Recombinant NS5ATP5 (molecular weight:65 kD) and polyclonal antibody were successfully prepared. NS5ATP5 expression in the liver of patients with chronic HCV infection was much higher than that of a normal person,and it was detected mainly in the cytoplasm. Conclusion The findings of the expression difference between HCV patients and normal people led to a novel diagnostic marker to detect HCV infection.展开更多

[Method] The maternal antibodies of broilers in Beijing Baochen Hongwang farm were monitored. According to the disappearance law of maternal antibody, the optimal immune time of broiler avian influenza virus H5 subtype Re-8 strain was determined. [ Result] The maternal antibody level of 2-day-old broilers was relatively high, concentrated at 6 log2 -9 log2, and the antibody positive rate was 100%. The maternal antibody level of 8-day-old broilers concentrated at 4 log2 -6 log2, and the antibody positive rate was 100%. The maternal antibody level of 17-day-old broilers concentrated at 0 log2 -3 log2 , and the antibody positive rate was 0. The average maternal antibody level of 24 - 37 days old broilers was 〈 1 log2, and the antibody positive rate was 0. [ Conclusion ] Although the av- erage maternal antibody level of 8-day-old broilers was higher than 5 log2 , 20% of chickens was 4 log2, and maternal antibody could not protect the flock completely. Therefore, the best primary immunization day age of chicks against avian influenza virus was 8 - 10 days of age.展开更多

Avian influenza in humans occurs mainly in Southeast Asia, but no human-to-human pandemic has occurred. Meanwhile, outbreaks of avian influenza in poultry occur on a global scale and cause a large economic loss. Migration antibodies passed from mother birds via eggs are said to be an important component of the immune system that protects birds from infection. Thus, the immunity status of mother birds can determine the ability of offspring to defend against infection. In this study, we investigated the presence of anti-avian influenza virus antibody in chickens hatched on a poultry farm in Indonesia and examined the involvement of migratory antibodies in protecting against virus infection by infectious experiments of highly pathogenic avian influenza in chickens. Blood was collected from randomly selected chicks, and antibodies against avian influenza virus were evaluated in all birds. Since these young birds had no history of vaccination, the antibodies were deemed to have been transferred from the mother birds. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay antibody titer in each bird varied. Infection of these birds with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A/H5N1 intra-nasally resulted in a high mortality rate in chicks with low antibody titers but a low mortality rate in chicks with high antibody titers. These findings indicate that migratory antibody prevented highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 infection in chicks, suggesting that such a preventive effect could also be expected with outdoor natural infection.展开更多

Following the production run of the molecular dynamics simulation, we observed the average change of solvent accessible surface of the antigen alongside the formation of hydrogen bonds between the two structures during the simulation. Based on the acquired data, we predicted the neutralizing epitope of the 1046T antigen to be consisted of residues Asp 84, Glu85, Phe86, Ile87, Asn88, Val89, Pro90, Ile132, Ser136, Val147, Pro152, Tyr153, Leu154, Arg161, and Tyr268. By calculating the RMSD of the Cα backbone chain of the complex during the simulation we found the structure to be generally stable suggesting a well maintained steric hindrance, while RMSD calculation of the predicted neutralizing epitope backbone suggests the stability of the neutralizing epitope itself.展开更多
