The identification results of ELISA test, PCR and immunofluoresecence assay (IFA) specific for ALV-J were all positive. Based on the public full-length proviral genome sequence of ALV-J prototype strain HPRS-103, three pairs of primers were synthesized. The full-length proviral genome sequence of ZH-08 isolate is 7597 bp, which has a little difference with that of published full-length genome sequences, but its organization corresponds with typical retroviral genome structure; and known oncogenes were not included in its genome. According to the gp85 sequence comparison of ZH-08 isolate with those of the other reference strains in China and abroad, the highest similarity (93.7%) was with the YZ9901 isolate. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the gp85 gene, showed that the ZH-08 isolated here had the closest linkage to the SD07LK1 isolate. This study provides the basis for the biological characterization and pathogenesis research of the ZH-08 isolate.展开更多

Inoculation of SDAU09C1 in ALV-free chickens induced antibody reactions specific to subgroup A or B. But gp85 amino acid sequence comparisons indicated that SDAU09C1 fell into subgroup A; it had homology of 88.8%-90.3% to 6 reference strains of subgroup A, much higher compared to other subgroups including subgroup B. This is the first report for ALV of subgroup A isolated from imported breeders.展开更多

As a first step in method development, we inserted the avian leukosis virus subgroup A （ALV-A） env gene into plasmid pcDNA3.1/Zeo （＋） and used this construct to transfect DF-1 cells. Zeocin-resistant cells were obtained after 2 weeks of zeocin selection. Then, the cells were analyzed using PCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blot for expression of the envA-encoded envelope protein after 30 serial passages. The DF-1/A cell line was completely resistant to 104 TCIDso/0.1 mL （50% tissue culture infective dose）ALV-A and was partially resistant to 10~ TCIDs0/0.1 mL ALV-A viral particles. By comparing the DF-1/A and DF-1 cell lines, an ALV-A isolate was identified using a gag-specific ELISAfor capsid protein p27. Thus, we established a DF-1/A cell line that was resistant to ALV-A infection. This cell line will be useful as a diagnostic tool.展开更多

The six wells of CEF inoculated with NX0101 were divided into groups A (without anti-ALV-J serum in the medium) and B (with anti-ALV-J serum in the medium), then viruses from each well of both groups were separately passed in CEF every 6 d and formed their independent passage lineages. For each lineage of both groups, gp85 genes of the viruses in the 10th, 20th and 30th passages were amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequence data indicated that the homologies of gp85 at aa level between the primary virus and the passed viruses of different passages of 3 lineages in group A were 97.7%―99.7%; and the homologies of gp85 between the primary virus and the passed viruses of different passages of 3 lineages in group B were 93.8%―96.1%. Analysis of the ratios of nonsynonium (NS) vs synonium (S) mutations of nucleic acids demonstrated that NS/S in 3 highly variable (hr-) regions at aa#110―120, aa#141―151 and aa#189―194 of gp85 in 3 lineages of group A were 2 (8/4), 1(3/3) and 1.3 (4/3), however, NS/S in the same 3 hr-regions of group B were 4.1 (13/3), 4.7 (14/3) and 3.3 (11/3). This study is the first demonstration of influence of immune selective pressure on evolution of ALV-J gp85 by specific antibodies under the controlled in vitro experiments.展开更多
