Abstract

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was application of gamma irradiated FMDV antigen for liquid phase blocking sandwich ELISA (B-ELISA) to quantify guinea pig anti FMDV type A87/IRN antibody. Methods: FMDV type A87/IRN was propagated to a titer of 107.5/ml TCID50 and then irradiated by gamma irradiator. The irradiated 146 S antigen was purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation after inactivation, and used for inoculation of rabbits and guinea pigs. The anti-FMDV sera were collected from the animals. ELISA test was optimized and the titer of antibodies was compared with that of virus neutralization test (VNT) to determine the correlation between these techniques. Results: The results of VNT and B-ELISA did not show significant differences (P>0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of B-ELISA in comparison to VNT for detection of anti FMDV type A 87/IRN antibody were calculated to be %94.73 and %90.9 respectively. Conclusion: The ELISA titers in sera collected from animals were higher than those recorded by VNT. These results suggested that, in addition to neutralizing antibodies, the ELISA was measuring other classes of antibodies which did not neutralize FMDV in vitro. Also comparison of the VNT and B- ELISA results by t-test showed that the gamma irradiated inactivated FMDV antigen has unaltered antigenicity.

Abstract

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is highly contagious disease among cloven-hoofed animals. FMD virus has structural and non-structural proteins. Vp1 is the most immunogenic structural peptides of FMD virus, applied for major vaccine studies. Objective: Construction of Pet28-VP1 cassette for FMD virus type O/IRN/2010 and expression VP1 peptide as the most immunogenic antigen was the aim of this study. Methods: The FMD virus type O/IRN/2010 was isolated from cattle in Qom, Iran and propagated on IBRS2 and BHK21 cell lines. The VP1 gene was amplified using the specific primer pair and RT-PCR technique. The purified PCR product was sub-cloned into the unique BamHI and Xho1 cloning sites to construct the PTZ57R/T -VP1 cassette. The DH5&alpha strain was transformed with this cassette. The digested VP1 gene was cloned in the digested Pet28 and confirmed using double digestion. Then the Pet28-VP1 construction was transformed in BL21 strain. Results: Expression of VP1 peptide was evaluated by IPTG induction and SDS-PAGE and confirmed by Guinea pig specific polyclonal antibody against FMD virus type O and conjugated rabbit anti Guinea pig antibody- HRP. Also neutralizing antisera titre was protective for vaccinated animals by recombinant VP1 protein. Conclusion: Since the isolation of new FMD virus strains in different geographical locations and expression of VP1 peptide can be used in emergency and control settings as a recombinant vaccine in the same area. Therefore the Pet28-VP1 cassette was constructed in this study is a good candidate for preparation of peptide vaccine against FMD virus type O/IRN/2010 in the next future.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious infectious disease of livestock which has made a barrier to hygiene causing severe loss in livestock and their products. The aim of this study was the assessment of antibody response against foot and mouth disease virus  types A13, A15 , O2010, after injection of FMD vaccine candidate produced by Razi Institue.
Materials and Methods: twenty non-vaccinated healthy calves were purchased and their health was evaluated. In order to ensure the absence of antibodies against FMD virus of all types, the blood of animal was sampled and subjected to serum neutralization test (SNT).
The SNT method was performed by the micro-neutralization test. Serum samples were tested before and after vaccination. Six wells of dilutions, 1/8 to 1/256 of serum were prepared and after adding the FMD virus they were incubated and then were added to the cell culture. After 48 hours the CPE was checked.
Results: The mean serum titers of antibodies against all three viral type Average A13, A15 and O2010 prior to vaccination was equal to 0.6. One week after the injection, the antibody titer increased especially against A15 in a significant difference (p value=0.017) compared to two other types. The serum antibody titers increase in the three virus types were continued one month after injection. Since then the A13 and A15 type antibody titer underwent increasing but declined against O2010 type. In the second month after the injection, the titer against A13 and A15 remained in stationary state and declined against O2010 type. The statistical analysis showed that the antibody level against the viral types was significantly different in 7 days, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 months after the injection.
Conclusions: The FMD vaccine produced by Razi institute showed the ability to protect animals become dependent on test conditions, the type O2010 for 6 months and for the type A15 and A13 for 7 months after vaccination.

Abstract

Background and Aims: Foot and Mouth Disease is one of the important live stocks contagious viral diseases caused by Aphtovirus genus, belonging to the family of Picornaviride. The important characteristic of FMD virus is high mutation that gives rise to diversity of antigen on the surface of neutralizing proteins. For this reason FMD virus has 7 distinct serotype and many subtypes. Vaccination is one of the methods to control the disease caused by different type and subtype of FMD virus, the effective vaccine should have virus with close relationship with field virus and also many passage on cell culture may cause mutation on viral genome. The rate of genetic changes of FMD virus type O2016 during of 70 passages in BHK monolayer cell is the main reason of this paper. 
Materials and Methods: After determining the type of virus in epithelium sample by ELISA, the virus inoculated in BHK monolayer cell for 70 consequence passage. Harvested viruses in 10 selected passage (P1,P10 , P20,P30,P40,P50,P60,P70) were subjected to RT-PCR, ELISA, titration, real time PCR, Double dimension virus neutralization test for  immunological relationship value (r value) and Nucleotide sequencing of 1D segment of viral genome.
Results: Harvested FMD virus type O2016 from passage 1 until 70 were constant. No significant change was detected neither in sequencing nor in r values.
Conclusions: The virus has displayed very little change over the course of repeated passages, which can even be claimed to stay unchanged.
