With the help of lipofectamine, the Vero cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1/HisB-IL-2-G1 and the positive cells were selected by G418. IFAT and SDS-PAGE elec- trophoresis were used to determine the stable transfection and expression of recombinant protein. Each mouse was inoculated with plasmids intramuscularly (i.m.) three times, 2 boosts were given at 2-week intervals, serum anti-hantavirus antibodies were detected by ELISA and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were detected by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test. The fusion protein expressed in Vero cells was 78 kD, corresponding to the estimated molecular size. The neutralizing antibody titers of mice with pcDNA3.1/HisB-IL-2-G1 were 1:20-1:80. IL-2/G1 fusion gene could be transferred in Vero cells and stably express the fusion protein. Specific humeral immune responses in mice can be induced with the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing the fusion gene, which lays the foundation for further development of therapeutic HTNV vaccine.展开更多

Asymptomatic infected rodents can secrete hantaviruses in the urine, feces, and saliva. The main route of infection transmission to human is aerosols contaminated with the virus. This study was designed to evaluate the serological and molecular prevalence of hantavirus as an emerging zoonoses disease among street sweepers in Isfahan province, central Iran. Serum samples from 200 street sweepers in healthy condition and those with recent renal failure were tested by ELISA (IgM and IgG). Molecular analysis was subsequently applied for IgM positive cases. From these samples, 9 (4.5%) were positive, of which 2 (22.22%) were positive for both IgM and RT-PCR, while 7 (77.77%) were positive for IgG. The mean age and work experience of the positive cases were 39.7 and 11.5 respectively. According to our observations, all positive cases reported prevalence of rodents in their work place. The logistic regression test showed that the age and work experience were not risk factors for being positive, but prevalence of rodents in work place was a risk factor for being positive, when compared with negative cases. This is the first comprehensive study on the prevalence of hantavirus with positive results coming from Iranian population, which can raise the public awareness for the hantavirus infections as a public health threat.展开更多

Thirty-one serum samples of clinically diagnosed patients with HFRS were examined by RT-PCR to decide the genetic subtype. On the basis of infection season, the serum samples were divided into two groups: winter (Nov, 2003--Feb, 2004), spring and summer (April, 200d--Sep, 2004). Further analysis was performed in combination with clinical symptoms. It was found that among the total 31 samples, 22 were sero-positive. Among 14 serum samples in winter, 8 were sero-positive, of which 5 cases were of type Ⅰ (Hantaan virus, HTNV) and 3 of type Ⅱ (Seoul virus, SEOV). Among 17 samples in spring and summer, 14 were sero-positive, of which 5 cases were of type Ⅰ and 9 of type Ⅱ . So it concludes that both of the two types of Hantavirus exist in Heilongjiang. The type Ⅰ is the main pathogen of HFRS in winter, and typeⅡ is the main in spring and summer.展开更多
