Abstract:
Das Virus der infektiösen Bursitis (IBDV) gehört dem Genus Avibirnavirus der Familie Birnaviridae an. Die infektiöse Bursitis ist eine bedeutende, weltweit verbreitete Erkrankung des Geflügels. IBDV beinhaltet zwei verschiedene Serotypen: Serotyp 1 und 2. Serotyp 2 ist apathogen und wurde aus dem Respirationstrakt von Puten isoliert. Serotyp 1 ist pathogen für Hühner. Innerhalb des Serotyp 1 unterscheidet man klassisch virulente (cv), hochvirulente (hv) Stämme und Variantstämme. Während cv- und hv-Stämme zu nekrotisch-hämorrhagischen Entzündungen der Bursa Fabricii führen, verursachen Variantstämme eine sehr rasche Atrophie dieses Organs. Daher liegt die Annahme nahe, dass die Variantstämme ein besonders hohes Potenzial zur Apoptoseinduktion besitzen. Diese Hypothese war grundlegend für die Fragestellungen und Zielsetzungen dieser Arbeit. Zur Generierung infektiöser Viren mittels reverser Genetik wurden im Zuge dieser Arbeit zunächst „Volle-Länge-Plasmide“ beider Segmente des Variantstamms Variant E hergestellt. Vor das 5`-Ende der IBDV-spezifischen Sequenz wurde ein T7-Promotor kloniert, am 3`-Ende besitzt das „Volle- Länge-Plasmid“ eine Restriktionsenzymschnittstelle zur Linearisierung. Mittels „QuikChange“-PCR wurden die für die Zellkulturadaptation benötigten Punktmutationen in die VP2-codierende Region des Segments A eingefügt. Nach der Sequenzierung wurden, ebenfalls mittels „QuikChange“-PCR, unerwünschte Mutationen in beiden Segmenten revertiert. Mittels in vitro-Transkription wurde die cDNA der „Volle-Länge-Plasmide“ von Segment A und B des Variant E-Stamms und Segment B des klassisch virulenten Stammes Cu-1 in cRNA umgeschrieben. Durch Cotransfektion verschiedener Kombinationen von cRNA in HEF wurde ein zellkulturadaptiertes reassortantes Virus, bestehend aus Segment A von Variant E und Segment B von Cu-1 generiert. Dieses wurde als Var E A/Cu-1 B bezeichnet. Nach drei aufeinander folgenden Passagen in HEF wurden die infektiösen Nachkommen geerntet und durch RT-PCR, Sequenzierung, Restriktionsenzymanalyse (REA), indirekten Immunfluoreszenztest (IIFT) und Western blot charakterisiert. Durch Elektronenmikroskopie wurden die typischen morphologischen Merkmale von IBDV nachgewiesen. Durch Ermittlung einer Wachstumskinetik zeigte sich, dass das Virus im Vergleich zu zellkulturadaptiertem Cu-1 eine langsamere Vermehrung aufwies, jedoch einen annähernd gleichen Virustiter erreichte. Zum Nachweis von Apoptose wurden infizierte HEF zu definierten Zeitpunkten geerntet und im DNA-Laddering-Versuch und im Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay untersucht. Dabei wurde die an HEF adaptierte Reassortante Var E A/Cu-1 B mit dem klassisch virulenten Stamm Cu-1 hinsichtlich des Potenzials zur Apoptoseinduktion verglichen. Die Anwesenheit der viralen Polymerase VP1 von Cu-1 in beiden Viren ließ einen direkten Vergleich der von dem Segment A codierten, für die Apoptose verantwortlichen Proteine VP2 und VP5 beider Stämme zu. Durch diese Experimente wurde deutlich, dass die Reassortante Var E A/Cu-1 B im Vergleich zu Cu-1 eine schwächere Fähigkeit zur Apoptoseinduktion zeigt. Dieses unerwartete Ergebnis kann mit der Verwendung zellkulturadaptierter Viren mit reduzierter Virulenz, einer geringeren Replikationsgeschwindigkeit der Reassortanten und/oder der Verwendung eines nichtwirtszellspezifischen Zellkultursystems zu begründen sein. Weiterführende Untersuchungen in vivo, unter Einbeziehung des Elternstamms Variant E, wären daher von Interesse. VP5 wurde von mehreren Arbeitsgruppen als ein apoptoseauslösendes Protein identifiziert. Andere Studien ergaben jedoch auch, dass VP5 in frühen Stadien der Infektion Apoptose inhibiert. Vergleiche einer in dieser Arbeit generierten VP5-Deletionsmutante mit Cu-1 sollten daher klären, wie sich eine VP5-Deletion bei einem gut untersuchten, zellkulturadaptierten, klassisch virulenten Stamm auf die Induktion von Apoptose auswirkt. Die Cu-1 VP5-Deletionsmutante zeigte, trotz verminderter Replikationsgeschwindigkeit, in den Anfangsstadien der Infektion ein erhöhtes apoptotisches Potenzial. Daraus lässt sich schließen, dass VP5 eine inhibierende Wirkung auf die Apoptose besitzt. Möglicherweise liegt der biologische Grund darin, dass sich IBDV in den Anfangsstadien der Infektion durch die VP5-inhibierte Apoptose besser vermehren kann.

Abstract:
Die Infektiöse Bursitis ist eine Virusinfektion 3-6 Wochen alter Hühner, die bei Überlebenden mit einer schweren Immunsuppression verbunden ist. Sie verursacht weltweit große wirtschaftliche Schäden. Seit dem Auftreten hoch virulenter (hv) Stämme des Virus der infektiösen Bursits (infectious bursal disease virus, IBDV) Ende der 80-er Jahre blieben viele Fragen zu den biologischen Eigenschaften dieser Virusstämme und einer effektiven Bekämpfung der von ihnen ausgelösten Erkrankung ungeklärt. Unter anderem gelingt es zumeist nicht, hv-Stämme in der Zellkultur zu isolieren. Von besonderem Interesse ist es daher, solche Zellkulturen zu erhalten, die es erlauben, hv-Stämme in vitro zu züchten, ohne dass zuvor deren Genom verändert werden muss. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es daher, geeignete Zellkulturen für die Vermehrung von hv-IBDV-Stämmen zu etablieren und dann einige von deren biologischen Eigenschaften näher zu untersuchen.

Abstract:
The very virulent (vv) pathotype of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) has spread rapidly throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Although Australia is currently unaffected, there remains the potential for incursion of an exotic isolate. The aim of this study was to identify putative virulence determinants of IBDV to facilitate the development of improved diagnostic assays for detection and characterisation of vvIBDV isolates. Sequencing of Indonesian vvIBDV Tasik94 revealed a unique substitution [ A¨S222] in the hypervariable region (HVR) of viral protein (VP) VP2, which did not appear to impinge on virulence or antigenicity. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that Tasik94 was closely related to Asian and European vvIBDV strains. Extensive alignment of deduced protein sequences across the HVR of VP2 identified residuesI242 I256 and I294 as putative markers of the vv phcnotype. Comparison of the pathology induced by mildly-virulent Australian IBDV 002/73 and Indonesian vvIBDV Tasik94, revealed that histological lesions in the spleen, thymus and bone marrow were restricted to Tasik94-infected birds, suggesting the enhanced pathogenicity of vvIBDV might be attributed to replication in non-bursal lymphoid organs. The biological significance of the VP2 HVR in virulence was assessed using recombinant viruses generated by reverse genetics. Both genomic segments of Australian IBDV 002/73, and recombinant segment A constructs in which the HVR of 002/73 was replaced with the corresponding region of either tissue culture-adapted virus or vvIBDV (Tasik94), were cloned behind T7 RNA polymerase promoter sequences. In vitro transcription/translation of each construct resulted in expression of viral proteins. Co-transfection of synthetic RNA transcripts initiated replication of both tissue culture-adapted parental and recombinant viruses, however attempts to rescue non-adapted viruses in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens were unsuccessful. Nucleotide sequence variation in the HVR of VP2 was exploited for the development of a new diagnostic assay to rapidly detect exotic IBDV isolates, including vvIBDV, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification and Bmrl restriction enzyme digestion. The assay was capable of differentiating between endemic and exotic IBDV in 96% of 105 isolates sequenced to date.

Abstract:
Con el propósito de profundizar en la situación epidemiológica actual del virus de la Bursitis Infecciosa (IBDV) en España, en esta tesis se plantearon 3 estudios. Para tener una visión general de la situación actual de IBD en España el primer estudio consistió en la caracterización genética de RHV de la proteína VP2 de 967 aislados remitidos durante los años 1990 y 2015. El análisis de secuencias y la filogenia revelaron que el 21% de las cepas en cuestión fueron cepas muy virulentas. Alrededor del 72% de las muestras analizadas se correspondió con el genotipo atenuado intermedio y estuvieron altamente relacionadas a las cepas vacunales utilizadas con más frecuencia en la inmunización de las aves. Por otro lado la filogenia nos muestra nuevos grupos de cepas nunca antes descritos en España. Así, se observa un grupo de aislados estrechamente relacionados a cepas atenuadas de origen australiano y un nuevo linaje que en el estudio denominamos IBDV/Sp-var, representando el 1,8% de los virus caracterizados. Debido a estos hallazgos en el segundo estudio se planteó profundizar en la epidemiología molecular de IBDV en España. Para el estudio se consideraron 168 secuencias de la RHV de la VP2 obtenidas de GenBank con origen y año conocido, además de 33 secuencias derivadas de nuestro estudio anterior. El análisis filogenético utilizando inferencia bayesiana confirmó la presencia de 4 linajes: clásico (IBDV/Cl), clásico atenuado (IBDV/Cl-at), muy virulento (IBDV/vv) y el nuevo linaje IBDV/Sp-var. Se determinó la evolución de los aislados de IBDV mediante la definición de las fuerzas selectivas que se ejecutaron durante la diversificación. El análisis de presión de selección detectó presión positiva dentro del linaje atenuado en donde se ubicó una cepa de tipo vacunal de virulencia intermedia. La evolución adaptativa evidenció una relación entre los linajes IBDV/at y IBDV/Sp-var, y mediante una comparación con un modelo de estructura cristalográfica de VP2 contenida en el banco de proteínas (Data Bank Protein, DBP), se determinó que mutaciones en los codones 251 y 273 favorecieron la emergencia del nuevo linaje IBDV/Sp-var. El análisis filogeográfico determinó el posible origen de los linajes IBDV/vv y IBDV/Sp-var, la expansión y difusión de estas poblaciones virales. El análisis muestra que las cepas IBDV/vv se dispersaron en España alrededor de los años 90 provenientes de Irán y que alrededor de los años 2002-2004 se genera una gran diversidad genética que en el tiempo se distribuye de una forma más heterogénea sobre todo en la región oriental del país, mientras que el análisis del linaje IBDV/Sp-var muestra que se originó alrededor de 1995 y se dispersó fundamentalmente en la región oriental de España. Finalmente la afirmación de diversos estudios moleculares del virus de IBD de que la virulencia no solo reside en la VP2, nos llevó a plantear el tercer estudio orientándolo básicamente a la caracterización completa de los segmentos A y B de 16 cepas IBDV/vv detectadas en distintas regiones de España en años distintos y fueron comparadas con otras cepas muy virulentas descritas en otros países, cepas clásicas y atenuadas, así como cepas vacunales. El alineamiento y filogenia de las cepas en cuestión define que los diferentes linajes (IBDV/vv y IBDV/Cl-at) se agrupan junto a sus similares tanto en el análisis del segmento A como el segmento B identificando algunos residuos que permanecen conservados en todas las cepas del linaje IBDV/vv en ambos segmentos. Sin embargo, una de las cepas, IBDV/Spain/06/38, mostró mutaciones en la proteína VP3 respecto al resto de las cepas. El análisis de recombinación confirma mediante 6 de los 9 métodos empleados en la búsqueda de estos eventos que se trata de una cepa con alta probabilidad de haber sufrido un evento de recombinación.
In this thesis 3 studies were carried out in order to deepen the current epidemiological situation of the virus Infectious bursal disease (IBDV) in Spain. To get an overview of the current situation of IBD in Spain, the first study involved in the genetic characterization of the HVR of the VP2 protein of 967 isolates submitted during the years 1990 and 2015. Sequence analysis and phylogeny revealed that 21% strains in question were highly virulent strains. About 72% of the analyzed samples corresponded to the intermediate attenuated genotype and were highly related to the vaccine strains most commonly used in immunizing birds. Moreover, phylogeny showed new groups of strains that are not described in Spain .Therefore, an isolated group closely related to the classical Australian attenuated strain, and a new lineage called IBDV/Sp-var in the study which represents 1.8% of the viruses characterized. Regarding the results of the first study, a second study was done to characterize the molecular epidemiology of IBDV in Spain. In this study we considered 168 sequences of HVR of the VP2 obtained from GenBank with known origin and year, and 33 sequences derived from our previous study. Phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian inference confirmed the presence of 4 lines: classic (IBDV/cl), attenuated classical (IBDV/cl-at), very virulent (IBDV/vv) and the new lineage IBDV/Sp-var. The evolution of IBDV isolates was determined by defining the selective forces that were conducted during diversification. The Analysis of the selection pressure revealed a positive pressure within the attenuated lineage formed also by the intermediate virulence strain vaccine. The adaptive evolution showed a relationship between IBDV/at and IBDV/Sp-var lineages, in addition the comparison with a model of crystallographic structure of VP2 contained in the Data Bank Protein (DBP) determined that the codons 251 and 273 favored the emergence of the new strain IBDV/Sp-var. In order to identify the origin of the IBDV/vv and IBDV/Sp-var lineages and their expansion and dissemination a phylogeographic analysis was done. This analysis showed that the IBDV/vv strains were dispersed in Spain around 90s from Iran, and around the years 2002-2004 a large genetic diversity was distributed heterogeneously over time in the eastern region of the country. While the analysis of the lineage IBDV/Sp-var showed that its origin was around 1995 and was mainly distributed in the eastern region of Spain. Finally, the concordance of various molecular studies of IBD virus revealing that its virulence not only lies in the VP2, led us to propose the third study to characterize the complete genome of the virus. The segments A and B of 16 strains IBDV/vv detected in different regions of Spain and in different years were compared with highly virulent strains described in other countries, classical and attenuated strains and also with vaccine strains. The alignment and the phylogeny analysis showed that the different genotypes (IBDV/vv and IBDV/Cl-at) were grouped according to their virulence degree for the segment A and also for the segment B, and identifying some conserved residues in all strains of the genotype IBDV/vv and for both segments. However the IBDV/Spain/06/38 strain showed a mutated protein substitution VP3 when it is compared with the other strains. The recombination analysis confirmed by 6 of the 9 methods used in our research that the strain IBDV/Spain/06/38 presented a recombinant event.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) has been the major preoccupation for the poultry industry, especially in the past decade with the emergency of high virulent strains. Mutations in the gene that code the VP2 viral protein of pathogenic strains and the amiss use of attenuate vaccines by few passages have been responsible for the springing of new outbreaks. The purpose of this work was to analyze phylogenetically two different isolates of IBDV in Minas Gerais State by the comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the gene that code VP2 viral capside protein. In order to study the pathogen-host interaction, a subtractive library was constructed from VERO cells infected by IBDV (8 hours post-infection) aiming the identification of differential gene expression during this interaction. For the phylogenic analysis of the isolates, fragments of 251 bp amplified by RT-PCR were cloned and sequenced. The comparison of the sequences revealed that these isolates have 98-100% identity with classical vaccinal IBDV strains indicating that these outbreaks might have been caused by the vaccinal virus. To construct the subtractive library, two cDNA populations were hibridizated: one derived by IBDV infected VERO cells and other by non infected VERO cells. The hibridizated products were amplified for the posterior cloning and evaluation of the differential express products. Understanding of the replication characteristics of the IBDV associated to the study of the virus infection effects in the gene expression of the host cell, shown in this work, will allow the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the pathogen-host interaction contributing, therefore, for the development of methods more effectives in the control and prevention of the IBDV.
A doença infecciosa bursal (IBD) tem sido, há muitos anos, uma grande preocupação para a indústria avícola, especialmente na década passada devido a emergência de cepas virais hipervirulentas. Mutações no gene responsável pela codificação da proteína viral VP2 de linhagens patogênicas e a má utilização de vacinas atenuadas por poucas passagens têm sido responsáveis pelo aparecimento de novos surtos. A proposta deste trabalho foi analisar filogeneticamente dois diferentes isolados de IBDV de Minas Gerais por meio da comparação da seqüência nucleotídica do gene que codifica a proteína do capsídeo viral VP2. Em razão da necessidade de se estudar melhor a interação patógeno-hospedeiro, objetivou-se ainda a construção de uma biblioteca subtrativa a partir de células VERO infectadas pelo IBDV, 8 horas após a infecção, com a finalidade de identificar genes diferencialmente expressos durante essa interação vírus-célula hospedeira. Para a análise filogenética dos isolados, fragmentos de 251 pb amplificados por RT-PCR foram clonados e seqüenciados. A comparação das seqüências revelou que os isolados possuem identidade de 98-100% com linhagens clássicas vacinais de IBDV, indicando que os surtos analisados podem ter sido causados pelo vírus vacinal. Para a construção da biblioteca subtrativa, duas populações de cDNA foram hibridizadas: uma derivada de células VERO infectadas por IBDV e a outra de células VERO não infectadas. Os produtos hibridizados foram amplificados para posterior clonagem e avaliação dos produtos diferencialmente expressos. O conhecimento das características replicativas do IBDV associado ao estudo das conseqüências da infecção pelo vírus na expressão gênica da célula hospedeira, iniciado neste trabalho, permitirá a elucidação dos mecanismos envolvidos na interação patógeno-hospedeiro, contribuindo assim para o desenvolvimento de métodos mais eficazes no controle e prevenção da IBD.

La malaltia de la bursitis infecciosa, o alaltia de Gumboro, és una patologia aviària d'origen viral que afecta principalment les cries d'aus. En les granges de cria d'aviram, el virus que la origina, l'IBDV, provoca una elevada mortalitat en els pollastres. La determinació de l'estructura tridimensional a alta resolució de la proteïna de la càpside d'aquest virus, la VP2, ha permès caracteritzar alguns dels elements que medien l'assemblatge i l'estabilitat de la càpside viral. També s'han identificat els residus implicats en la formació de cossos d'inclusió, que confereixen resistència a les partícules virals en l'entorn extracel·lular. D'altra banda, la determinació de l'estructura tridimensional de la polimerasa del virus, la VP1, ha aportat noves dades sobre la iniciació de la polimerització i sobre la regulació de la seva activitat per part de la VP3, la proteïna encarregada de la coordinació del cicle viral.
The infectious bursal disease, also known as Gumboro disease, is an avian pathology that affects broilers and chicks. In chicken farms, this virus, called IBDV, is responsible for high mortalities. The tridimensional structure determination at atomic resolution of this virus capsid protein, VP2, allowed us to characterize some of the elements that mediate the capsid assembly and stabilization. Furthermore, the residues implicated in the formation of inclusion bodies, that provide extra resistance to the virus in the extracellular stage, have been identified. Moreover, the tridimensional structure determination of the viral polymerase, VP1 protein, brought some light on the mechanisms involved in polymerization initiation and regulation of the activity mediated by VP3, the viral cycle coordination protein.

Abstract:
Because phosphorylation of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) nucleocapsid (N) protein may regulate its multiple roles in viral replication, the dynamics of N phosphorylation were examined. In the infected cell, N was the only viral protein that was phosphorylated as shown by 32P-orthophosphate labeling and Western blot analysis and with IBV specific polyclonal chicken antibody. Using pulse-labeling with 32Porthophosphate, the IBV N protein was found to be phosphorylated in the virion, as well as at all times during infection of Vero cells. One-hour pulse-chase analysis followed by immunoprecipitation of IBV N using rabbit anti-IBV N polyclonal antibody showed that the phosphate on the protein did not fall below 70% of the maximum and remained stable. The small but reproducible drop in phosphorylation could modulate the various functions of the N protein in the infected cell. Simultaneous labeling with 32Porthophosphate and 3H-leucine of infected CEK cells indicated a 3.5-fold increase in the ratio of the 32P:3H counts per minute (cpm) on the virion N protein as compared to the 32P:3H cpm ratio of the N protein from lysates at 7 h p.i. The 32P:3H cpm ratio of the N protein from virion from infected-Vero cell lysates was 10.5X more than the 32P:3H cpm ratio of the N protein obtained at 7 h p.i. It has been shown that the N proteins from the measles and rabies viruses form helical nucleocapsid-like structures when expressed in bacteria (Schoehn et al., 2001; Warnes et al., 1995). The ability of E. coli expressed IBV N protein to form helical-nucleocapsid-like structures was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Full-length, purified histidine-tagged IBV N protein formed nucleocapsid-like structures when expressed in bacteria. Because E. coli -expressed histidine-tagged fragments of the IBV N protein did not form helical nucleocapsid-like structures, the full-length protein is probably required for assembly of these structures. The highly conserved IBV N protein was also used as a diagnostic tool in an ELISA for detecting anti-IBV antibody in chicken serum using a specialized microwave called the BIOWAVE. The BIOWAVE improves the processing time for an ELISA.

Resumo: O vírus da Bronquite Infecciosa (VBI), pertencente à família Coronaviridae, é um importante patógeno à sanidade e fatores econômicos da produção avícola no Brasil e no mundo. O VBI possui múltiplos sorotipos e o frequente surgimento de novas variantes é um dos principais problemas relacionados a este vírus. Este trabalho tem como objetivo a investigação experimental da patogênese de um isolado de pombo (Columba/Brazil/2007/Unicamp/67T), caracterizado molecularmente pelo gene S1 como VBI sorotipo Massachusetts, e seus efeitos in vivo, em galinhas e camundongos. O presente estudo foi dividido em duas partes, na primeira um grupo de aves "specific pathogen free" (SPF) foi inoculado pela via óculo-nasal com a amostra viral proveniente de pombo. Os animais, de um dia de vida, foram sacrificados nos dias 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 21, 28, 35 e 42 dias pós-inoculação (dpi). Foram coletados suabes de traqueia, seio nasal e cloaca, além de órgãos como pulmão, íleo, pró-ventrículo (coletado entre 7 e 21 dpi), rim, tonsilas cecais (coletada a partir de 4dpi) e testículos (coletado a partir de 5 dpi). Sinais clínicos respiratórios como espirros, estertores, corrimento nasal, além de letargia, diarreia e perda de coordenação foram observados principalmente no 5dpi. A inibição da atividade ciliar ocorreu concomitantemente ao pico de sinais clínicos das aves. Foi analisado tropismo tecidual, através da quantidade de RNA viral detectado, pelo trato digestório. Os maiores títulos de RNA viral foram detectados na tonsila cecal, seguida pelo íleo (ambos no 5dpi) e cloaca (no 2dpi). Além disso, houve detecção de RNA viral no rim e trato respiratório, com maior título de RNA viral na traqueia. Os órgãos que apresentaram maiores danos teciduais através do exame histopatológico foram o rim, íleo e traqueia (todos no 5dpi). Por fim, as aves inoculadas com a amostra do VBI oriundo de pombo produziram anticorpos entre os dias 14 e 21dpi, detectados no soro destes animais através do ELISA. Na segunda parte do trabalho, a capacidade de replicação de diferentes variantes do VBI em camundongos foi avaliada. Para tanto, camundongos das linhagens Balb/C e A/J foram inoculados pela via nasal com duas amostras do sorotipo Massachussets (Mass) e com a variante brasileira (BR-I), e sacrificados no 3, 10 e 14 dpi. Não foram observados sinais clínicos nem lesões macroscópicas graves. O RNA viral foi detectado em todos os órgãos coletados, sendo os principais órgãos de replicação o seio nasal e pulmão (no 3dpi) para os camundongos da linhagem A/J e pulmão e duodeno (ambos no 3dpi) na linhagem de camundongos Balb/C, nos quais os títulos virais detectados foram mais altos. Pneumonia intersticial, edema e infiltrado mononuclear foram as principais alterações histopatológicas observadas no 3dpi em camundongos inoculados com as diferentes variantes. A presença da nucleoproteína viral, pela imunohistoquímica, foi detectada no duodeno, traqueia e pulmão de camundongos no 3dpi nas duas linhagens de camundongos. Os anticorpos contra o coronavírus aviário foram detectados somente no 3dpi. Assim, os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram que a variante Massachussets, com origem de pombo, causa a doença clínica em aves comerciais não vacinadas e pode replicar em modelo mamífero por um curto período de tempo, ressaltando a importância da vacinação e o papel potencial dos roedores como possível reservatório e carreador do vírus
Abstract: Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) belonging to the family Coronaviridae is an important pathogen to sanity and economics of poultry production in Brazil and worldwide. The VBI has multiple serotypes and the frequent emergence of new variants is one of the main problems related to this virus. This work aims to experimentally investigate the pathogenesis of pigeon sample (Columba/Brazil/2007/Unicamp/67T), molecularly characterized by S1 gene as IBV Massachusetts serotype, and its effects in vivo in chickens and mice. This study was divided into two parts. In the first part, a group of birds "specific pathogen free" (SPF) was inoculated by oculo-nasal route with the viral sample from pigeon. The animals with one-day-old, were sacrificed on 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days post-inoculation (dpi). Tracheal swabs, nasal sinus and cloaca were collected, and organs such as lung, ileum, pro-ventricular (collected between 7 and 21dpi), kidney, caecal tonsils (collected from 4dpi) and testes (collected from 5 dpi). Clinical signs such as sneezing, rales, nasal discharge, lethargy, diarrhea, and loss of coordination were observed mainly in the 5dpi. Inhibition of ciliary activity occurred concomitantly with the peak of clinical signs of birds. Tissue tropism was analyzed by the amount of viral RNA detected by the gastrointestinal tract. The higher titers of viral RNA were detected in the cecal tonsil, followed by the ileum (both in 5dpi) and cloaca (in 2dpi). In addition, viral RNA was detected in the kidney and respiratory tract, with highest titer of viral RNA in the trachea. The organs that showed severe tissue damage by histopathology were the kidney, ileum and trachea (all in 5dpi). Finally, the birds inoculated with the sample originated from IBV Pigeon produced antibodies between 14 and 21dpi, detected in the serum of these animals by ELISA. In the second part, the replication capacity of different variants of IBV in mice was evaluated. For this, mice of strains BALB/C and A/J were inoculated intranasally with two strains of Massachusetts (Mass) serotype and the Brazilian variant (BR-I), and sacrificed at 3, 10 and 14 dpi. No clinical signs or severe macroscopic lesions were observed. The viral RNA was detected in all organs collected, higher tittles were detected on sinus and lung (in 3dpi) for mice of strain A/J and on lung and duodenum (both in 3dpi) in the line of Balb/C; in this line the viral titles were higher than the strain A/J. Interstitial pneumonia, edema and mononuclear cell infiltration were the main histopathological changes observed in 3dpi in inoculated mice with different variants. The presence of viral nucleoprotein, immunohistochemistry was detected in the duodenum, trachea and lungs of mice in 3dpi in both mice strains. Antibodies against avian coronaviruses have been detected only in 3dpi. Thus, the results of this study demonstrate that the Massachusetts variant, originating from pigeon, cause clinical disease in commercial poultry unvaccinated and can replicate in mammalian model for a short period of time, emphasizing the importance of vaccination and the potential role of rodents as possible reservoir and the carrier virus

Abstract:
An infectious cDNA clone of Vero cell adapted Beaudette strain of IBV was constructed using in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments. The entire genome of IBV was RT-PCR amplified into seven fragments, with each piece overlapping about 10 nucleotides. The fragments were ligated and transcribed to synthesize RNA, which was transfected into BHK-21 cells. These cells were then overlaid onto IBV susceptible Vero cells. After five days transfection, the virus was successfully rescued from the transfected cells. The cDNA clone from our laboratory strain has a five nucleotide insertion not present in the originally sequenced virus, resulting in total genome size of 27,613 nucleotides. The infectious cDNA clone was further manipulated to demonstrate its potential as a gene transfer vector, by replacing the ORF5a open reading frame with enhanced green fluorescent protein. The recombinant infectious cDNA clone was also successfully rescued after three days transfection of BHK-21 cells followed by co-culturing with Vero cells. This study showed that the 5a protein, whose function is not known, is not necessary for in vitro IBV replication. This study also showed that the 5a ORF is a good candidate for an insertion site of recombinant genes for the development of IBV infectious cDNA clone as a gene transfer vector.

Abstract:
A bronquite infecciosa das galinhas (BIG) é uma doença altamente contagiosa causada por múltiplos genotipos/sorotipos do vírus da bronquite infecciosa das galinhas (IBV), um coronavirus do grupo 3. Embora classicamente associado ao trato respiratório, alguns tipos de IBV têm sido descritos com tropismo pelos rins e pelos tratos reprodutivos e entéricos, o IBV pode ser detectado em diversos tipos de tecidos, e também pode acometer aves de todas as idades. Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar a freqüência do IBV em amostras de diversos órgãos e conteúdo entérico de avós, matrizes, poedeiras comerciais e frangos de corte, genotipar as amostras detectadas e estudar a diversidade molecular entre as amostras brasileiras de IBV. Um total de 844 pools de diversos órgãos e conteúdos entéricos provenientes de 200 lotes de avós, matrizes, poedeiras comerciais e frangos de corte, das regiões Sul, Sudeste, Centro-oeste e Nordeste do Brasil, colhidas durante o período de 2007 a 2009 foram testadas para a presença de IBV com um RT-PCR dirigido à região não traduzida 3′(3′UTR). As aves amostradas apresentaram sinais clínicos compatíveis com a BIG. Todas as amostras de IBV detectadas foram tipificadas utilizando uma RT-PCR dirigida ao gene de espícula do vírus. Dezenove amostras tipificadas como variante foram submetidas ao seqüenciamento parcial da região codificadora da subunidade S1 e à análise genealógica. Considerando os pools de órgãos e de conteúdo entérico, 45,50% foram positivos para a presença de IBV, dos quais, 84,63% pertencem ao genotipo Variante e 9,89% ao sorotipo/genotipo Massachusetts. Considerando os lotes, 73,50% foram positivos para IBV, sendo 77,55% variantes e 6,12% Massachusetts. A análise genealógica revelou quatro linhagens virais, todas agrupadas em um exclusivo grupamento de genotipo brasileiro. Estes resultados demonstram que o IBV está disseminado em todas as regiões avícolas brasileiras, com um predomínio massivo de genotipos não Massachusetts e uma elevada diversidade molecular, que deve ser levada em consideração para desenvolver medidas preventivas contra o IBV.
Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious disease of poultry caused by multiple geno/serotypes of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a group 3 coronavirus. Though classically associated to the respiratory tract, IBV strains also have been described which harbor tropism for the kidneys and the reproductive and enteric tracts, and might be detected in multiple tissues and can also affect birds of all ages. This survey aimed to assess the frequency of in multiple organs and enteric content samples from grandparents, breeders, layers and broilers, to genotype the IBV strains detected and to study the molecular diversity amongst Brazilian IBV strains. A total of 844 pools of multiple organs and enteric contents from 200 flocks of grandparents, breeders, layers and broilers from the Southern, Southeastern, Central-Western and Northeastern Brazilian regions collected between 2007 and 2009 was screened for the presence of IBV with an RT-PCR target to the 3 untranslated region (UTR). The sampled birds presented symptoms compatible with IB. All IBV strains detected were then typed using an RT-PCR target to the spike gene of the virus. Nineteen strains type as variants were submitted to partial sequencing of the S1 coding region and genealogic analysis. Regarding the organs and enteric content pools, 45.50% were positive for the presence of IBV, from which 84.63% were variant and 9.89% Massachusetts. Taking into account the flocks, 73.50% were positive for IBV, being 77.55% variants and 6.12% Massachusetts. Genealogic analysis revealed four viral lineages, all grouped in an exclusive Brazilian genotype cluster. This results shown that IBV is widespread in all Brazilian poultry regions, with a massive predominance of non-Massachusetts genotypes and a high molecular diversity, which must be taken into account in order to develop preventive measures against IB.

Abstract:
The first aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of IBV in broilers within the Canterbury province, New Zealand, in late winter and to search for associations with management or environmental factors. The second aim was to study how ambient stressors affect the immune system in birds, their adaptive capacity to respond, and the price that they have to pay in order to return to homeostasis. In a case control study, binary logistic regression analyses were used to seek associations between the presence of IBV in broilers and various risk factors that had been linked in other studies to the presence of different avian pathogens: ambient ammonia, oxygen, carbon dioxide, humidity and litter humidity. Pairs of sheds were selected from ten large broiler farms in Canterbury. One shed (case) from each pair contained poultry that had a production or health alteration that suggested the presence of IBV and the other was a control shed. Overall, IBV was detected by RT-PCR in 50% of the farms. In 2 of the 5 positive farms (but none of the control sheds) where IBV was detected there were accompanying clinical signs that suggested infectious bronchitis (IB). Ambient humidity was the only risk factor that showed an association (inverse) with the prevalence of IBV (p = 0.05; OR = 0.92). It was concluded within the constraints of the totally enclosed management systems described, that humidity had an influence on the presence of IBV, but temperature, ammonia, carbon dioxide, oxygen or litter humidity had no effect. In another study environmental temperatures were changed in order to affect the biological function and adaptive capacity of chickens following infection with IBV. The 'affective states' of the animal were assessed by measuring levels of corticosterone (CORT) in plasma and tonic immobility (TI). It was found that low (10 +/- 2°C) and high (30 +/- 2°C) temperatures exacerbated the respiratory signs and lesions in birds infected with IBV as compared to those housed at moderate (20 +/- 2°C) temperatures. The chickens housed at high temperatures showed significantly decreased growth, a higher proportion of hepatic lesions (principally haemorrhages) and a longer tonic immobility period, but there was no significant alteration in the plasma levels of CORT. The birds housed at low temperatures developed a higher proportion of heart lesions (hydropericardium, ventricular hypertrophy) and had significantly higher levels of plasma CORT than birds housed under moderate and/or high temperatures. The specific antibody response to IBV decreased in birds housed under high temperatures. Interestingly the birds housed at high temperatures developed significantly higher levels of haemagglutinin antibodies to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) than those birds housed under low or moderated temperatures. Cell mediated immunity was not significantly affected by heat or cold stress in the first 13 days of treatment but at 20 days the levels of interferon gamma in the birds subjected to low temperatures were lower than in the high temperature group. In other trials, the exogenous administration of low physiological doses of oral CORT (as compared to high pharmacological doses typically used in such experiments) to birds resulted in suppression or enhancement of the immune response depending on duration of treatment and/or dose and nature of the antigen. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that exogenous CORT can produce an enhancement in the immune response in chickens. iv In conclusion, environmental stressors such as high or low temperatures do affect the physiology of the fast-growing broiler. The adjustments the birds have to make to maintain homeostasis impacts on the course of common infectious diseases, such as IB, that normally is mild in the New Zealand poultry industry. The administration of exogenous CORT showed that this hormone may be part of the physiological stress response and acts as a messenger to prepare the immune system for potential challenges (e.g., infection).

Abstract:
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a birnavirus that infects the B-cells in the bursa of Fabricius of young chickens, causing Gumboro disease. The IBDV 114 kDa polyprotein (NH2-pVP2-VP4-VP3-COOH) is thought to be processed at 512Ala-Ala513 and 755Ala-Ala756 through the proteolytic activity of VP4, a serine protease which uses a Ser/Lys catalytic dyad, to release pVP2, VP4 and VP3. Precursor VP2 (pVP2) is further processed at its C-terminus to generate VP2 and structural peptides through the cleavage of the 441Ala-Phe442, 487Ala-Ala488, 494Ala-Ala495 and 501Ala-Ala502 peptide bonds to release VP2 and four structural peptides, pep46, pep7a, pep7b and pep11. While the processing at the 441Ala-Phe442 site was shown to be mediated by the endopeptidase activity of VP2, the processing at the other two sites is not well understood. The products resulting from the processing of the IBDV polyprotein were previously identified by anti-VP2 and anti-VP3 antibodies. The present study used anti-VP4 peptide antibodies to identify products resulting from the IBDV polyprotein processing. It was hypothesised that VP4 exists in two forms, the embedded form which exists as an integral part of the polyprotein and a mature form which is released after the processing. In order to characterise the two forms of VP4, six different fragments i.e. full-length polyprotein (Met1-Glu1012), truncated polyprotein (Ile227-Trp891), VP4-RA (Arg453-Ala755), VP4-RK (Arg453-Lys722), VP4-ΔVP3 (Ala513-Trp891, called VP4-AW for the sake of simplicity) and VP4-AA (Ala513-Ala755) were amplified from the IBDV dsRNA, cloned into a T-vector and sub-cloned into several expression vectors. The constructs were sequenced prior to expression. The sequence of the polyprotein coding region was used to determine the pathotype of the isolate used for viral dsRNA isolation. This isolate was from IBDV-infected bursae harvested from commercial chickens during an IBD outbreak in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in 1995, thus naming the isolate SA-KZN95. The comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of SA-KZN95 polyprotein with 52 sequences of other IBDV strains highlighted 21 residues which could be molecular markers of different IBDV pathotypes. The residues of SA-KZN95 were identical to those of the Malaysian very virulent UPM94/273 strain. The constructs representing the embedded and mature forms of VP4 were recombinantly expressed. Processing was observed from the expression of the full-length polyprotein, truncated polyprotein, VP4-RA, VP4-RK and VP4-AW, but not from VP4-AA expression. The mutation of the Ser/Lys catalytic dyad in the full-length polyprotein, truncated polyprotein, VP4-RA, VP4-RK and VP4-AW, prevented processing thus verifying that the proteolytic activity was due to VP4. Anti-VP4 peptide antibodies were raised in chickens for the identification of the polyprotein cleavage products. The anti-VP4 peptide antibodies detected more cleavage products than expected from the polyprotein, suggesting that additional or different cleavage sites may be used. The characterisation of the cleavage products suggested that the processing for the release of VP4 occurs either at the 487Ala-Ala488 or the 512Ala-Ala513 site in a single polyprotein molecule. Ultimately, an IBDV polyprotein processing strategy that would explain the release of the additional products was proposed in the present study. The present study also illustrated the importance of Pro377 in the processing of the polyprotein where its replacement with Leu induced a prominent change in polyprotein processing. The mutation seemed to induce structural changes that may possibly affect the cleavage sites. Although no autocatalytic activity was observed during the expression of VP4-AA (mature form), it cleaved mutant VP4-RK in trans. It seemed to be active as a dimer on a gelatine gel but no activity was observed against a dialanyl fluorogenic peptide substrate. It also appeared to form peptidase-inhibitor complexes with anti-thrombin III. The present study also describes attempts to detect native VP4 in IBDV-infected bursa homogenates by anti-VP4 peptide antibodies on a western blot and by proteolytic activity determination on gelatine-containing SDS-PAGE gels. The findings of the study provide new information that may contribute to the development of anti-viral agents. These anti-viral agents may target polyprotein processing, capsid assembly and thus prevent virus replication during IBDV infection.

Abstract:
Das Virus der infektiösen Bursitis (IBDV) gehört dem Genus Avibirnavirus der Familie Birnaviridae an. Die infektiöse Bursitis ist eine bedeutende, weltweit verbreitete Erkrankung des Geflügels. IBDV beinhaltet zwei verschiedene Serotypen: Serotyp 1 und 2. Serotyp 2 ist apathogen und wurde aus dem Respirationstrakt von Puten isoliert. Serotyp 1 ist pathogen für Hühner. Innerhalb des Serotyp 1 unterscheidet man klassisch virulente (cv), hochvirulente (hv) Stämme und Variantstämme. Während cv- und hv-Stämme zu nekrotisch-hämorrhagischen Entzündungen der Bursa Fabricii führen, verursachen Variantstämme eine sehr rasche Atrophie dieses Organs. Daher liegt die Annahme nahe, dass die Variantstämme ein besonders hohes Potenzial zur Apoptoseinduktion besitzen. Diese Hypothese war grundlegend für die Fragestellungen und Zielsetzungen dieser Arbeit. Zur Generierung infektiöser Viren mittels reverser Genetik wurden im Zuge dieser Arbeit zunächst „Volle-Länge-Plasmide“ beider Segmente des Variantstamms Variant E hergestellt. Vor das 5`-Ende der IBDV-spezifischen Sequenz wurde ein T7-Promotor kloniert, am 3`-Ende besitzt das „Volle- Länge-Plasmid“ eine Restriktionsenzymschnittstelle zur Linearisierung. Mittels „QuikChange“-PCR wurden die für die Zellkulturadaptation benötigten Punktmutationen in die VP2-codierende Region des Segments A eingefügt. Nach der Sequenzierung wurden, ebenfalls mittels „QuikChange“-PCR, unerwünschte Mutationen in beiden Segmenten revertiert. Mittels in vitro-Transkription wurde die cDNA der „Volle-Länge-Plasmide“ von Segment A und B des Variant E-Stamms und Segment B des klassisch virulenten Stammes Cu-1 in cRNA umgeschrieben. Durch Cotransfektion verschiedener Kombinationen von cRNA in HEF wurde ein zellkulturadaptiertes reassortantes Virus, bestehend aus Segment A von Variant E und Segment B von Cu-1 generiert. Dieses wurde als Var E A/Cu-1 B bezeichnet. Nach drei aufeinander folgenden Passagen in HEF wurden die infektiösen Nachkommen geerntet und durch RT-PCR, Sequenzierung, Restriktionsenzymanalyse (REA), indirekten Immunfluoreszenztest (IIFT) und Western blot charakterisiert. Durch Elektronenmikroskopie wurden die typischen morphologischen Merkmale von IBDV nachgewiesen. Durch Ermittlung einer Wachstumskinetik zeigte sich, dass das Virus im Vergleich zu zellkulturadaptiertem Cu-1 eine langsamere Vermehrung aufwies, jedoch einen annähernd gleichen Virustiter erreichte. Zum Nachweis von Apoptose wurden infizierte HEF zu definierten Zeitpunkten geerntet und im DNA-Laddering-Versuch und im Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay untersucht. Dabei wurde die an HEF adaptierte Reassortante Var E A/Cu-1 B mit dem klassisch virulenten Stamm Cu-1 hinsichtlich des Potenzials zur Apoptoseinduktion verglichen. Die Anwesenheit der viralen Polymerase VP1 von Cu-1 in beiden Viren ließ einen direkten Vergleich der von dem Segment A codierten, für die Apoptose verantwortlichen Proteine VP2 und VP5 beider Stämme zu. Durch diese Experimente wurde deutlich, dass die Reassortante Var E A/Cu-1 B im Vergleich zu Cu-1 eine schwächere Fähigkeit zur Apoptoseinduktion zeigt. Dieses unerwartete Ergebnis kann mit der Verwendung zellkulturadaptierter Viren mit reduzierter Virulenz, einer geringeren Replikationsgeschwindigkeit der Reassortanten und/oder der Verwendung eines nichtwirtszellspezifischen Zellkultursystems zu begründen sein. Weiterführende Untersuchungen in vivo, unter Einbeziehung des Elternstamms Variant E, wären daher von Interesse. VP5 wurde von mehreren Arbeitsgruppen als ein apoptoseauslösendes Protein identifiziert. Andere Studien ergaben jedoch auch, dass VP5 in frühen Stadien der Infektion Apoptose inhibiert. Vergleiche einer in dieser Arbeit generierten VP5-Deletionsmutante mit Cu-1 sollten daher klären, wie sich eine VP5-Deletion bei einem gut untersuchten, zellkulturadaptierten, klassisch virulenten Stamm auf die Induktion von Apoptose auswirkt. Die Cu-1 VP5-Deletionsmutante zeigte, trotz verminderter Replikationsgeschwindigkeit, in den Anfangsstadien der Infektion ein erhöhtes apoptotisches Potenzial. Daraus lässt sich schließen, dass VP5 eine inhibierende Wirkung auf die Apoptose besitzt. Möglicherweise liegt der biologische Grund darin, dass sich IBDV in den Anfangsstadien der Infektion durch die VP5-inhibierte Apoptose besser vermehren kann.

Abstract Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a immunosuppressive infectious disease in causing necrotic of B-lymphoblast in chickens at 3 to 6 weeks of age. Viral protein (VP) 2 and 3 are the mainly important 2 structural proteins of IBDV. The VP2 of IBDV contains the antigenic epitopes in inducing the neutralizing antibody. The whole length of VP2 gene, approximately 1.5 Kb nucleotides, of a recently local isolate (V263/TW02) IBDV being verified with good cross protectivity against several local isolates was amplified with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction , sequenced and phylogenic analysed of the nucleotide as a very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) with some point mutation. The gene was then cloned in the vector of the baculovirus expression system for producing the most protective VP2 subunit protein as antigen for IBDV V263/TW02-VP2 subunit vaccine preparation. A3(48 kDa)and C2(21 kDa)2 subunit proteins was found expressied in the system. The V263/TW02-VP2-C2 subunit vaccine was then used to immunized the specific-pathogen-free chickens for comparison of the protectivity with the conventional inactivated V263/TW02 IBDV vaccine against the homologous IBDV challenge. The V263/TW02-VP2 subunit vaccine was found inducing a much higher titer of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay antibody response but less protective than the inactived V263/TW02 vaccine did. The V263/TW02-VP2-C2 subunit protein might also be good for preparing serological diagnostic kits. The immunogenicity of V263/TW02-VP2-A3 subunit protein need to be further evaluated.

The viral particle of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is composed of VP2 and VP3 on the outside and inside, respectively. During the formation of viral particle, a polyprotein VP243 was first produced and self-cleaved into precursor VP2 (pVP2) and VP3 by VP4. The researchers had shown that pVP2 C-terminal was further cut by VP4 and partially by host cell enzyme, and finally by VP2-itself to form mature VP2 and finally produce viral particle. However, the role of VP4 in the final steps of viral partical formation is still not clear. The objectives of this study are (1) to investigate the requirement of VP4 in the formation of virus like particle (VLP) after that pVP2 and VP3 have been already produced; (2) to construct various recombinant plasmids to investigate the production of VLP and subviral particle (SVP) in E. coli and evaluate the protection efficacy of theses recombinant proteins against very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) challenge. Five plasmids were constructed, including (1) pTri VP2-452 (encoding for the first 452 amino acids of VP2, VP2-452, the pVP2 after cutting by host cell enzyme); (2) pET VP243 (encoding for VP243); (3) pET 512/VP3/452 (encoding for the full length of pVP2 (VP2-512), VP3 and VP2-452); (4) pET 487/VP3/452 (encoding for the pVP2 after the last cut by VP4 (VP2-487), VP3 and VP2-452); (5) pET VP243/452 (encoding for VP243 and VP2-452). The plasmids were transformed into E. coli and the expressed virus like particles were separated by sucrose gradient centrifugation and analyzed by ELISA and electron microscopy. The pET VP243 and pET VP243/452, but not the plasmids without VP4 gene, had higher 70-nm-VLP production efficiency. After challenge with 2×102 EID50 vvIBDV, the proteins expressed by pTri VP2, pET VP243 and pET VP243/452 could provide more than 80 % protection of chickens against vvIBDV. However, proteins expressed by pET 512/VP3/452 and pET 487/VP3/452 could only provide protection less than 60%. When ISA 71was used as adjuvant, the anti-IBDV antibody titer was significantly higher than that when Freund’s adjuvant was used. The severe inflammations were observed in the injection sites of proteins with ISA 71. The results indicated that VP4 play an important role in the final steps of VP2 maturation and the formation of VLP. Moreover, pET VP243 and pET VP243/452 can not only produce VLP in E. coli but also provide efficacious protection of chicks against vvIBDV.

VP2 is a major structural protein of infectious bursal disease virus(IBDV). It has been demonstrated as the major host-protective immunogen of IBDV and contains the antigenic regions responsible for eliciting the virus neutralizing antibodies in the host. In this study, the precursor protein (VPX) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) host immunogen VP2 protein was expressed in insect cells, including Sf9 and Hi-5 cells, to examine its regenerated particle types and the immunogenicity induced by those particles. Since the expressed protein, VPXH, was engineered a His-tag, consisting of six histidine residues, at their C-terminal end. When expressed in Hi-5 cells, rVPXH was efficiently processed at its C-terminus by cellular proteases to yield VP2-like proteins whose molecular weight was similar to that of VP2. However, proteolytical processing of VPXH in Sf9 cells was hampered. The expressed rVPXH was purified using immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). Under TEM observation of Ni-NTA purified VPXH, at least three architectures of particles were observed, including the tubular structure and two of spherical structure of isometric particle structure and a new one of icosahedral particles, with a size of approximately 20-25nm and 30-35 nm in diameter, respectively. After separation of rVPXH formatted particles, chromatographic results indicate that the expressed rVPXH protein and very few of VP2-like protein formed isometric particle structure and very few of twisted tubular structure, as well as icosahedral particles formed by the degraded products of rVPXH protein, VP2-like protein. Finally, we also demonstrated that when susceptible chickens were vaccinated with the IMAC-purified rVPXH protein (40 g/bird), virus-neutralizing antibodies were induced. This indicated that those particles are highly immunogenic. Based on our results, we found that Hi-5 harbors excellent ability of proteolytic cleavage of VPX. Therefore, this study our effort also to investigate the proteolytic processing of IBDV polyprotein in insect cell. When IBDV polyprotein was expressed in insect cells, higher productivity of IBDV VLP was observed in Hi-5 cells. Moreover, the accumulation of matured VP2 and VLPs assembly was exhibited rather efficiently than in Sf9. In addition to IBDV-like particles assembled in Hi-5 cells, some of particulated subviral particles with 23 nm in diameter were also assembled. Chromatographic results show that the IBDV subviral particle was formed by VP2 protein. When a higher multiplicity of infection(MOI) strategy was used, accumulation of VP2 protein is more significantly. The excess VP2 protein resulted in formation of subviral particles. However, at low MOI, the relative productivity of IBDV VLP and subviral particles increased in batch culture. Our results demonstrate that Hi5, harboring excellent ability of proteolytic cleavage of recombinant protein, the efficiency of IBDV-like particles production is superior to Sf9 culture. These finding therefore may provide a methodological improvement using Hi-5 cells for optimal production of IBDV VLP as an effective IBDV vaccine against infectious bursal disease or as for crystallization to study IBDV structure.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes infectious bronchitis (IB) in chicken and leads to severe economic loss. Since the poor cross-protection among different serotypes of IBVs, co-administration of two different serotypes of attenuated IBV vaccines are regularly applied in the poultry industry. Recombination between vaccine strains may alter the antigenicity of vaccine strain. Moreover, vaccine strains may serve as heterologous RNA donors and result in the appearance of new IBV serotypes. The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalent IBV strains in the field by detection of IB viruses obtained from poultry slaughter house, and also to assess the risk of current IB vaccination strategy by analyzing S1 polymorphisms of IBVs collected from embryonated chicken eggs inoculated with single or dual IBV strains through one or two passages. Primer sets were designed to distinguish IBV strains among various vaccine and field virulent strains by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Among one hundred IBV positive fecal samples collected from slaughter house, sixty samples contained TW-I and fifteen of these samples contained vaccine strains as well. The result demonstrated that the two virus strains could replicate in chicken at the same time. Therefore, single IBV strains (single groups) or two IBV strains (dual groups) were passaged in embryonated chicken eggs for simulating the circumstances of single or dual viruses replicating in chickens in the field. The vaccine strains of Ma5, H120, and 4/91 as well as field strain TW100 were used in this study. Single groups included all four strains and dual groups included 5 groups which were MH, M4, H4, HT, and 4T. The entire S1 genes of IBVs were amplified with strain specific primers. The intertypic recombinations were not identified in all inspected S1 sequences. However, the average single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) counts per sequence from dual groups were higher than from single groups. By further inspection of secondary peaks within original sequencing chromatograms, the mechanism of changes in SNPs were categorized into selection effect and mutation effect. The results showed that both selection and mutation effects were facilitated in eggs inoculated with dual IBV strains. In conclusion, the prevalent IBV strain is TW-I and replication of dual strains within same chicken embryo could facilitate both selection and mutation effect.
