Classical swine fever virus, one member of the family Flaviviridae, is the pathogen of CSF, an economically important and highly contagious disease of pigs. Knowledge of virus genes under positive selection pressure can help identify molecular determinants of virulence or pathogenesis without prior knowledge of the mechanisms governing virulence and pathogenesis and clarify the driving force of classical swine fever virus evolution. The positive selection pressure acting on envelope protein genes E(rns), E1 and E2 of classical swine fever virus were assessed and a site-by-site analysis of the d(N)/d(S) ratio was performed, to identify specific codons undergoing diversifying positive selection. Whilst no significant evidence for positive selection was observed in E1, four positively selected sites (208 in E(rns) and 72, 75, and 200 in E2) were identified. The positively selected site (208) of E(rns) corresponds to one of the amino acid substitutions (Ser to Arg) found in an HS-binding CSFV variant. The mutant at the positively selected site (75) is located within an O-glycosylation motif and altered the predicted glycosylation pattern. In addition, Thr at the positively selective site 200 are directly involved with mAb WH308 with which CS vaccine strain does not react, unlike most of the virulent CSFV strains. 相似文献

Antibody responses of pigs to defined Erns fragments after infection with classical swine fever virus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Antibody responses of pigs to defined Erns fragments, after classical swine fever virus (CSFV) infection, were studied by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Selection of various E(rns) fragments was based on an immunodominant Erns region encompassing three overlapping antigenic regions, amino acids 65 to 145 (Erns(aa)65-145) (AR1), 84 to 160 (Erns(aa)84-160) (AR2), and 109 to 220 (Erns(aa)109-220) (AR3), identified earlier by our group (M. Lin, E. Trottier, J. Pasick, and M. Sabara, J. Biochem., in press). Defined Erns fragments, including AR1, AR2, AR3, Erns(aa)65-160 (AR12), Erns(aa)84-220 (AR23), Erns(aa)65-220 (AR123), Erns(aa)109-145 (the consensus region defined by the three overlapping regions), and Erns(aa)109-160 (a fragment 15 amino acids larger than the consensus region), were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified by nickel chelate affinity chromatography, and used to measure antibody responses in 20 sera serially collected from pigs experimentally infected with CSFV. Based on the optimum cutoffs determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis after testing 238 negative field sera from Canadian sources, all the Erns fragments were capable of distinguishing positive from negative antibody responses with sensitivities ranging between 75 and 90% and specificities ranging between 83.2 and 100%. Detection of antibody responses to refolded Erns(aa)109-145 and Erns(aa)109-160 by ELISA (this study) but not by Western blots (Lin et al., in press) indicated that the epitopes within the consensus region are conformational. When cutoff values were raised to give a specificity of 100%, four Erns fragments (AR2, AR23, Erns(aa)109-145, and Erns(aa)109-160) offered much higher sensitivities (75 to 90%) than those obtained with other fragments (20 to 65%). Erns(aa)109-145 and Erns(aa)109-160 were capable of detecting antibody responses in infected pigs as early as 7 days postinfection. Demonstration of antibody responses to either one of the four fragments can thus be an alternative to use of the full-length protein in ELISA for serological diagnosis of CSFV infection. An advantage of such a test would be its utilization for serological survey in a classical swine fever-free country (e.g., Canada) in biocontainment level 2 laboratories. 相似文献

Summary. Infection of cells with classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is mediated by the interaction of envelope glycoproteins E2 and
Erns with receptor molecules on the cell surface. These proteins are also the major antigens for eliciting neutralizing antibodies
and conferring protective immunity. Here we report the identification of multiple neutralizing epitopes on these proteins
by screening a phage-displayed random peptide library with CSFV-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Two different
E2-specific neutralizing mAbs (a18 and 24/10) were found to bind to a common motif SPTxL, which is similar to the sequence
SPTTL of the E2 protein (aa 289–293), indicating that this is likely to be an immunodominant epitope. Similarly, an immunodominant
epitope corresponding to the sequence DKN of Erns (aa 117–119) was identified for two independent Erns-specific neutralizing antibodies, b4-22 and 24/16, respectively. Another binding motif, CxNNxTC, was identified for mAb 24/16,
but not for b4-22. Sequencing analysis of the genes coding for the light chain of these mAbs was conducted to ensure that
all mAbs were derived from different hybridomas, rather than from different subclones of a common parent line. Inhibition
studies using immunofluorescent antibody assay and virus neutralization test demonstrated that the mimotope peptides truly
mimicked the antibody binding determinants on the viral proteins. The detailed mapping data for these neutralizing epitopes
will be useful for development of improved diagnostic tests and perhaps a peptide-based vaccine for this important swine disease. 相似文献

The specificities and sensitivities of five recombinant proteins of the surface protective antigen (SpaA) of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae were examined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the aim of developing a reliable serological test for the detection of protective antibody against E. rhusiopathiae. Fully mature protein and the N-terminal 416 amino acids (SpaA416) showed sufficient antigenicities, and further examination was done with SpaA416 because of its higher yield. The antibody titers of pigs experimentally immunized with commercial live vaccine and two types of inactivated vaccines clearly increased after immunization, and all pigs were completely protected against challenge with virulent strains. On the other hand, the antibody titers of nonimmunized control pigs remained very low until they were challenged, and all showed severe symptoms or subsequently died. Interference with the production of antibody against live vaccine by maternal antibody or porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus infection 1 week after vaccination was also clearly detected. Because the ELISA titer correlated well with the protection results, the specificity and sensitivity of the ELISA were further evaluated with sera collected from pigs reared on 1 farm on which animals had acute septicemia, 2 farms on which the animals were infected or free from infection, and 10 farms on which the animals were vaccinated with live vaccine, among others. The ELISA titers clearly revealed the conditions of the herds. These results indicate that the SpaA416 ELISA is an effective method not only for evaluating pigs for the presence of protective antibody levels resulting from vaccination or maternal antibody but also for detecting antibody produced by natural infection. This test has important potential for the effective control of swine erysipelas. 相似文献

Identification of a novel virulence determinant within the E2 structural glycoprotein of classical swine fever virus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) E2 glycoprotein contains a discrete epitope (TAVSPTTLR, residues 829-837 of CSFV polyprotein) recognized by monoclonal antibody (mAb) WH303, used to differentiate CSFV from related ruminant pestiviruses, Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) and Border Disease Virus (BDV), that infect swine without causing disease. Progressive mutations were introduced into mAb WH303 epitope in CSFV virulent strain Brescia (BICv) to obtain the homologous amino acid sequence of BVDV strain NADL E2 (TSFNMDTLA). In vitro growth of mutants T1v (TSFSPTTLR), T2v (TSFNPTTLR), T3v (TSFNMTTLR) was similar to parental BICv, while mutants T4v (TSFNMDTLR) and T5v (TSFNMDTLA) exhibited a 10-fold decrease in virus yield and reduced plaque size. In vivo, T1v, T2v or T3v induced lethal disease, T4v induced mild and transient disease and T5v induced mild clinical signs. Protection against BICv challenge was observed at 3 and 21 days post-T5v infection. These results indicate that E2 residues TAVSPTTLR play a significant role in CSFV virulence. 相似文献

Envelope glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is the major antigen that induces neutralizing antibodies in infected pigs. The conformational epitope(s) on B/C domains were mapped to the N-terminal 90 residues of E2 between amino acids 690 and 779 (Chang et al., 2010a). To mimic the conformational epitopes, a set of synthetic cyclized peptides spanning the B/C domains of E2 were used to react with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against E2 and with swine anti-CSFV polyclonal sera. All antibodies recognized a highest common element, 753RYLASLHKKALPTSV767, on the double-looped peptides. This epitope region has not been revealed previously in the literature. Both substitution-scanning of residues 753RYLASLHKKALPTSV767 on a double-looped peptide and site-directed mutagenesis of expressed E2 demonstrated that residues 761K, 763L and 764P were critical for the reactivity with mAbs. In addition, the up- and downstream residues 753R, 754Y, 755L and 765T were also crucial. Alignment showed that this stretch of amino acids was relatively conserved among various CSFVs. Thus, we identified a motif 753RYLASLHKKALPT765, which may be part of group-specific antigen and important for the structural integrity of conformational epitope recognition. 相似文献

Removal of a N-linked glycosylation site of classical swine fever virus strain Brescia Erns glycoprotein affects virulence in swine 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
E(rns) glycoprotein, along with E(1) and E(2), is one of the three envelope glycoproteins of classical swine fever virus (CSFV). E(rns) is a heavily glycosylated protein involved in several functions, including virus attachment and entry to target cells, production of neutralizing antibodies, and virulence. The role of added glycans to CSFV strain Brescia E(rns) on virus virulence was assessed in swine. A panel of virus mutants was constructed and used to investigate whether the removal of each of seven putative glycosylation sites in the E(rns) glycoprotein would affect viral virulence in swine. Only N269A/Q substitution rendered attenuated viruses (N1v/N1Qv) that, unlike BICv and other mutants, produced a transient infection in swine characterized by mild symptoms and decreased virus shedding. Notably, N1v efficiently protected swine from challenge with virulent BICv at 3 and 21 days post-infection suggesting that glycosylation of E(rns) could be modified for development of CSF live-attenuated vaccines. 相似文献

Peptides deduced from the C-terminal end (residues 191 to 227) of pestivirus envelope protein E(rns) were used to develop enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) to measure specifically antibodies against different types of pestiviruses. The choice of the peptide was based on the modular structure of the E(rns) protein, and the peptide was selected for its probable independent folding and good exposure, which would make it a good candidate for an antigenic peptide to be used in a diagnostic test. A solid-phase peptide ELISA which was cross-reactive for several types of pestivirus antibodies and which can be used for the general detection of pestivirus antibodies was developed. To identify type-specific pestivirus antibodies, a liquid-phase peptide ELISA, with a labeled, specific classical swine fever virus (CSFV) peptide and an unlabeled bovine viral diarrhea virus peptide to block cross-reactivity, was developed. Specificity and sensitivity of the liquid-phase peptide ELISA for CSFV were 98 and 100%, respectively. Because the peptide is a fragment of the E(rns) protein, it can be used to differentiate between infected and vaccinated animals when a vaccine based on the E2 protein, which is another pestivirus envelope protein, is used. 相似文献

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antigens was developed, using commercially available antisera. Horse anti-RSV and calf antiserum to bovine RSV were used as capture and detector antibodies, respectively. The assay could detect as few as 50 PFU of unpurified RSV per ml in infected cell culture supernatant fluids and as little as 10 ng of affinity-purified RSV antigen per ml. No cross-reactions were observed with heterologous virus types. Freeze-thaw treatment had no effect on RSV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers, but viral transport medium inhibited RSV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers from 10- to 100-fold. The assay can be easily performed in 24 h and is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of RSV antigens. 相似文献

Purpose
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes endemic or epidemic outbreaks of CHIKV fever, which is a mosquitoe-transmitted viral disease in Africa, India, South-East Asia, and recently Southern Europe. Currently, serological diagnostic tests such as hemagglutination inhibition test (HI test), in-house IgM capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and indirect immunofluorescence test were used for diagnosis of chikungunya fever, which are based on whole virus antigens.Materials and Methods
CHIKV E1, and E2 envelope proteins for the CHIKV-specific serodiagnostic reagents for chikungunya fever were expressed in baculovirus expression system. The seroreactivity of recombinant CHIKV E1 and E2 envelope proteins were evaluated using sera panels of patients from Laboratoire Marcel Merieux by indirect IgM capture ELISA.Results
The recombinant CHIKV E1 and E2 envelope protein showed sensitivity of 77.5% and 90%, respectively. The specificities of both CHIKV E1 and E2 envelope proteins were 100%.Conclusion
The recombinant CHIKV E1 and E2 envelope proteins could be a useful diagnostic reagent for CHIKV infection. 相似文献14.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to the detection of serum antibodies against respiratory syncytial virus. The end points of the various sera tested in the assay were approximately 100 times higher than in the complement-fixation test and 2 to 4 times higher than in the plaque reduction test. In addition, the immunosorbent assay appeared to be more efficient than the plaque reduction and complement-fixation techniques for detecting a serological response in young infants (1 to 6 months old) with serous respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory disease. The simplicity, sensitivity, and rapidity of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay make it a useful tool for immunological studies with respiratory syncytial virus. 相似文献

A sensitive specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilizing purified p26 antigen was developed for the detection of antibodies to equine infectious anemia virus in naturally and experimentally infected horses. Generally, antibodies to the virus could be detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 3 to 4 days earlier than by the standard agar gel immunodiffusion test, and they could be detected more reliably in horses with weak or equivocal agar gel immunodiffusion test reactions. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was also successfully applied to the detection of p26 antigen in tissue culture fluids. 相似文献

Recombinant major surface glycoprotein E2 from virulent Shimen strain of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) has been tested for immunogenicity in animal immunization experiments. Immunization of 3-month-old piglets with 200 micrograms of recombinant protein protected the animals from lethal challenge with virulent CSFV strain. CSFV-specific antibody detection test based on competitive ELISA has been developed using the recombinant E2 protein. The test can evaluate specific antibody levels after subunit vaccination with recombinant E2 after immunization with live vaccine based on attenuated CSFV strain. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for herpes simplex virus was tested using commercially available peroxidase-conjugated and unconjugated rabbit antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 (DAKO immunoglobulins A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). One hundred and thirty-seven clinical specimens from vesicles and superficial cutaneous lesions were tested and the results compared with virus isolation. In addition 210 herpes simplex virus isolates were typed. Forty-four specimens yielded herpes simplex virus both in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and in tissue culture and 79 were negative in both tests. Fourteen were positive in isolation but negative in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Seventy-three isolates were typed as herpes simplex virus type 1 and 137 as herpes simplex virus type 2. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was found to be rapid and easy to perform but less sensitive than conventional isolation in routine diagnostic work. For typing of isolates it was found to be a useful method for distinguishing herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2. 相似文献

Effects of glycosylation on antigenicity and immunogenicity of classical swine fever virus envelope proteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) harbors three envelope glycoproteins (Erns, E1 and E2). Previous studies have demonstrated that removal of specific glycosylation sites within these proteins yielded attenuated and immunogenic CSFV mutants. Here we analyzed the effects of lack of glycosylation of baculovirus-expressed Erns, E1, and E2 proteins on immunogenicity. Interestingly, Erns, E1, and E2 proteins lacking proper post-translational modifications, most noticeable lack of glycosylation, failed to induce a detectable virus neutralizing antibody (NA) response and protection against CSFV. Similarly, no NA or protection was observed in pigs immunized with E1 glycoprotein. Analysis of Erns and E2 proteins with single site glycosylation mutations revealed that detectable antibody responses, but not protection against lethal CSFV challenge is affected by removal of specific glycosylation sites. In addition, it was observed that single administration of purified Erns glycoprotein induced an effective protection against CSFV infection. 相似文献

Characterization of antibody responses against a neutralizing epitope on the glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The sequence TAVSPTTLR is a conserved and linear neutralizing epitope on the glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus. In this study, TAVSPTTLR-directed antibodies, induced either by virions or by an epitope-focused immunogen, were characterized. The results revealed that despite the same epitope specificity, the antibodies induced by different immunogens varied significantly both in the neutralizing test and in binding inhibition assays. This suggests that the protective immunity induced by this epitope is due to more than simply the epitope specificity and that this epitope might need essential contributions from its flanking context to induce functional epitope-specific antibodies. 相似文献
