Our previous studies demonstrated that pigs infected with PRRSV produced two sets of auto-anti-idiotypic antibodies (auto-Ab2s) against idiotypic antibodies to M and Gp5 protein(1,2).Pigs produced auto-Ab2s at early stage of infection(35 days post infection,DPI) were identified as non-virus carriers,whereas that had auto-Ab2s at later stage of infection(77 DPI) became virus

Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) was performed with virulent strain ATCC35246 and avirulent strain ST171 to identify novel genes associated with virulence in Streptococcus equi ***(SEZ).There were fourteen genomic regions that were only present in virulent strain *** regions encoded 14 putative proteins,some of which were homologous to proteins associated with cellular surface structure,molecular synthesis,energy metabolism,regulation,transport systems and others of unknown *** for 6 particular regions were designed from the already published SEZ sequence. We then used PCR to evaluate the distribution and conservation of these 6 DNA fragments in various SEZ strains collected from different sources,regions,groups and *** results showed that these 6 DNA fragments were widely distributed in SEZ strains,yet they were not existence in the avirulent strain ***,these fragments could not be detected in other Streptococcus groups.

Twenty-seven nonapeptides derived from the matrix(M) protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV) were screened for their ability to elicit a recall interferon-γ(IFN-γ) response from the splenocytes of BALB/c mice following DNA vaccination and a booster vaccination with recombinant vaccinia virus rWR-PRRSV-M.

The lipoprotein LppQ is specific to Mycoplasma mycoides *** SC(MmmSC) and was found in the type strain and in field strains isolated in Europe,Africa,and Australia,as well as in vaccinal *** N-terminal domain of LppQ possesses strong immunogenicity and induced a specific and persistent immune response in naturally and experimentally infected *** this study,the gene sequence coding the N-terminal domain of LppQ was amplified from MmmSC HVRI-X strain by PCR using special primers and mutated with a one-step overlap extension PCR method from a Mycoplasma-specific TGA(Trp) codon into a universal TGG(Trp) *** mutated gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and the soluble protein was purified with Ni-NTA His·Bind *** was optimized by varying the OD measurements of the cell cultures,IPTG concentration and the induction *** amount of recombinant protein reached 53.7%of the total mass of bacterial *** activity of the purified protein was examined with Western blot analysis and ELISA *** purified protein reacted strongly with the standard positive sera and didn't react with the standard negative sera of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia(CBPP).These findings indicate LppQ may be a valuable antigen for development of specific and sensitive test methods for the control of this disease in cattle.

A licensed vaccine is currently not available against serotype A foot-and-mouth disease(FMD) in China since A/WH/CHA/09 was isolated in 2009,partly because it does not replicate well in BHK *** this end,a novel plasmid-based reverse genetics system was employed to construct a chimeric strain by replacing the nearly complete P1 gene in the vaccine strain O/CHA/99 with that in the epidemic stain A/WH/CHA/*** chimeric vius displayed similar growth kinetics with its parental strains and was chosen as the vaccine candidate strain after 12 passages in BHK cells. Subsequently,immunization with the inactivated vaccine was conducted in cattle and humoral immune responses in most of vaccinated cattle were induced at day *** result of virus challenge by A/WH/CHA/09 at day 28 indicates that the group vaccinated by a 10μg dose was fully protected without sub-clinic *** together,our data demonstrate the chimeric vius with O/CHA/99 not only breaks through the bottleneck of propagation in BHK cells compared with A/WH/CHA/09,provides excellent antigenic matching against serotype A FMD,but also is also a potential marker vaccine to distinguish infection and vaccination,which suggests reverse genetics technology is a potential tool to engineer a vaccine candidate for FMD prevention and control.
