乙型脑炎、麻疹胎传母体抗体的调查

86对母婴血清标本用间接酶联免疫测定法(ELISA)测定了乙型脑炎抗体,118对用血凝抑制(血抑)试验测定了麻疹抗体。结果发现,脐血乙型脑炎抗体阳性率为79.1％,母血为74.4％,几何平均滴度在脐血显著高于母血(t=5.1857,P<0.01),比值为1.2∶1。脐血和母血的麻疹血抑抗体阳性率分别为86.4％及84.8％,几何均值也是前者高于后者(t=4.0349,P<0.01),比值为1.3∶1。 108份婴儿血清标本测定结果显示,0～3个月婴儿乙型脑炎抗体阳性率为35％,4～9个月仅为13％,10个月及以上的婴儿全部阴性。此结果与近年上海市小于1岁组乙型脑炎发病率最高相一致,提示应考虑提早乙型脑炎疫苗的接种年龄。     

母血中胎儿有核红细胞数量与胎儿异常的关系

目的 :探讨母血中胎儿有核红细胞数量与胎儿异常的关系 ,为将它用于无创性产前诊断提供实验依据。方法 :对孕 6～ 40周的 86例妇女 (包括胎儿正常组 68例、胎儿异常组 1 8例 )的外周血进行单密度梯度离心、瑞氏染色和细胞计数 ,分析母血中胎儿有核红细胞数量与孕周、胎儿异常及胎儿性别的关系。结果 :胎儿正常组 ,母血中胎儿有核红细胞平均数量为 1 4.2 3±1 2 .0 1 /ml,与妊娠周数呈直线相关 (R >R0 .0 5)。胎儿异常组中 ,母血中胎儿有核红细胞平均数量较正常胎儿组显著增加 ,约为 3 8.73± 2 4.97/ml,且与妊娠周数无明显直线相关性。母体外周血中胎儿有核红细胞数量与胎儿性别无统计学相关性。结论 :胎儿发生异常时母血中胎儿有核红细胞数量较正常妊娠时增加。母血中胎儿有核红细胞数量在胎儿正常时随孕周而增加 ,且不受胎儿性别的影响。母血中胎儿有核红细胞计数可以辅助用于产前筛查胎儿异常的发生。     

Evaluation of five circulating strains of variant infectious bursal disease virus (varIBDV) for their immunogenicity as broiler breeder vaccines and protective efficacy in neonatal broiler chicks

The majority of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strains circulating in the broiler chicken industry in Canada are variant strains (varIBDV). Despite high levels of maternally derived antibodies (MtAb), the circulating varIBDVs can establish infection and cause severe immunosuppression in broiler chicks. The objective of this study was to evaluate circulating varIBDVs as broiler breeder vaccine candidates and investigate their protective efficacy against varIBDV challenge in their progeny chicks. Six groups of breeders (20 females/group) were vaccinated with varIBDV strains, SK09, SK10, SK11, SK12, and SK13 or saline at the age of 13 weeks and antibody response was determined by ELISA at 3–7-, and 20- weeks post-vaccination. We also included commercial chicks for the comparison. Results showed that SK-09 is the most antigenic strain, followed by SK-10, SK-12, and SK-13. In contrast, SK-11 showed the lowest antibody response, and over time, antibody titers steadily decreased. Eggs from breeders were collected at 21-week post-vaccination and incubated to produce their respective progenies. The serum antibody titer in day-old chicks showed a successful MtAb transfer. Progeny chicks (n = 40/group) were orally challenged with varIBDV-SK-09 strain at 6 days of age and serum antibody titer (19 d and 35 d of age), bursa to body weight ratio (19 d and 35 d of age), bursal viral load (9 d and 19 d of age) was examined to assess the protection against IBDV. Following the challenge, we found a significant increase in the antibody titers in MtAb-free and commercial vaccine groups than in the varIBDV groups, both at 19 d and 35 d of age. The BBW ratio and viral load data indicated a significant homologous and heterologous protection against varIBDV-SK-09 challenge by SK-09 and SK-10 MtAbs, respectively. Overall, this study demonstrated the feasibility of developing breeder vaccines using circulating varIBDV as candidate vaccine antigens.

Insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity are normal in non-diabetic subjects from maternal inheritance diabetes and deafness families.

BACKGROUND: The pathophysiological mechanism of diabetes mellitus in the presence of the 3243 A-G tRNALEU(UR) mitochondrial DNA mutation is thought to result from deficient insulin secretion. However, few subjects with normal glucose tolerance have been studied to determine the sequence of events resulting in the development of diabetes mellitus. AIM: To determine whether abnormalities of insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion or glucose effectiveness are present in non-diabetic subjects with the 3243 A-G tRNALEU(UUR) mitochondrial DNA mutation. METHODS: Twelve non-diabetic subjects with the mutation were compared with 12 controls, matched for age and anthropometric parameters, using both oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests, the latter with Minimal Model analysis. RESULTS: Following an oral glucose load we found significantly higher blood glucose levels at 90 min and 120 min and significantly higher insulin levels at 120 min and 180 min in non-diabetic subjects with the mutation but no difference in the insulinogenic indices at 30 min and 180 min. From the intravenous glucose tolerance test there was no difference in overall glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, first- or second-phase insulin secretion, proinsulin secretion or glucose effectiveness. Insulin-independent glucose disposal was increased in subjects with lower insulin sensitivity and declined with increasing age in subjects with the mutation but not in controls. CONCLUSIONS: While there appear to be subtle defects of glucose handling in non-diabetic subjects with the 3243 mutation, these could not be explained by differences in insulin sensitivity or secretion.

Reduced specificity of Erns antibody ELISAs for samples from piglets with maternally derived antibodies induced by vaccination of sows with classical swine fever marker vaccine CP7_E2alf

Successful implementation of marker vaccines against classical swine fever virus is dependent on a reliable accompanying diagnostic assay that allows differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA ) as well as the development of a testing scheme during emergency vaccination. In this context, special attention needs to be paid to breeding farms, because the offspring of marker vaccinated sows possess maternally derived antibodies (MDA s). So far, limited information is available on the influence of MDA s on serological testing in the context of a DIVA strategy. Therefore, two commercially available E^rns antibody ELISA s were compared, using serum samples of piglets with a high‐to‐moderate titre of MDA s against marker vaccine CP 7_E2alf. False‐positive results were detected by both E^rns antibody ELISA s for serum samples of piglets with an age of up to 4 weeks. Interestingly, most samples tested false‐positive in the first E^rns antibody ELISA were identified correctly by the other E^rns antibody ELISA and vice versa. In conclusion, in case of emergency vaccination of sows, the specificity of both ELISA s in newborn piglets younger than 4 weeks may be relatively low. This could be addressed in a testing strategy by either not sampling piglets up to the age of 4 weeks or using both ELISA s in a screening‐confirmation set‐up.
