Proliferative enteropathy (PE) is an infectious enteric disease caused by Lawsonia intracellularis (L. intracellularis) and is endemic in pig herds worldwide. However, a L. intracellularis-specific monoclonal antibody plays an important role in the evaluation of L. intracellularis infection in vitro. Therefore, the objective of this study was to produce and identify the characteristics of a new monoclonal antibody against the outer membrane protein (Omp2) of L. intracellularis and apply it in an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunocytochemistry (IHC). The results indicated that three highly specific monoclonal antibodies against the Omp2 protein (4D9, 3G2, and 7G5) of L. intracellularis were obtained by using purified Omp2 as an immunogen, the titers of ascitic fluids of 4D9, 3G2, and 7G5 cells were 1:2,048,000, 1:512,000, and 1:256,000, respectively. IFA analysis showed that the 4D9, 3G2, and 7G5 have no cross-reactivity with other enteric bacteria commonly found in the ilea of pigs or closely related to L. intracellularis, such as Desulfovibrio, Bilophila wadsworthia (B. wadsworthia), Salmonella choleraesuis (S. choleraesuis), Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (B. hyodysenteriae). IFA and IHC results indicated that the monoclonal antibodies can be successfully used as primary antibodies to detect L. intracellularis in infected cells and in the crypt of the ileum from infected tissues of PE. Our findings suggested that the new monoclonal antibody specific against L. intracellularis will be useful for the evaluation of L. intracellularis infection in vivo and in vitro.

ABSTRACT Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Ureaplasma urealyticum serotype 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 reference strains were developed. The reactivities of these MAbs with the 14 serotype reference strains was verified by colony immunofluorescence assay and Western blot assay. MAbs against serotypes 2, 7, 10, 11, and 12 were serotype specific, whereas MAbs against serotypes 5, 8, and 13 showed cross-reactivity. All MAbs against serotype 5 were cross-reactive with serotype 2, and one showed, in addition, cross-reactivity to serotypes 9 and 10. Mutual cross-reactivities were observed between MAbs against serotypes 8 and 13. The usefulness of the MAbs for the serotyping of U. urealyticum strains was evaluated by serotyping 21 selected clinical isolates. A complete set of MAbs (the newly developed MAbs and the previously described MAbs against serotypes 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 14) as well as a complete set of polyclonal antibodies (PAbs), PAbs 1 to 14, were used. MAbs were able to identify 18 of 21 isolates including 2 isolates with mixed serotypes. Polyreactivity, which occurred with 19 of the 21 isolates with PAbs, was not observed by the use of MAbs. MAbs seem to be a more valuable tool than PAbs for serotyping and could help in investigating a possible link between the expression or variability of the serotype-specific antigens and pathogenicity.

Enteritis Virus

Duck viral enteritis is a highly contagious and fatal disease of commercial waterfowl flocks. The disease occurs sporadically or epizootically in mainland China due to insufficient vaccinations. Early and rapid diagnosis is important for preventive intervention and the control of epizootic events in clinical settings. In this study, we generated two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that specifically recognized the duck enteritis virus (DEV) envelope glycoprotein B and tegument protein UL47, respectively. Using these MAbs, a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay (ICA) was developed for the efficient detection of DEV antigens within 15 min. Our results showed that the detection limit of the developed ICA strip was 2.52 × 103 TCID50/mL for the virus infected cell culture suspension with no cross-reactivity with other pathogenic viruses commonly encountered in commercially raised waterfowl. Using samples from experimentally infected ducks, we demonstrated that the ICA detected the virus in cloacal swab samples on day three post-infection, demonstrating an 80% concordance with the PCR. For tissue homogenates from ducks succumbing to infection, the detection sensitivity was 100%. The efficient and specific detection by this ICA test provides a valuable, convenient, easy to use and rapid diagnostic tool for DVE under both laboratory and field conditions.

AbstractThe ferret is a key animal model for investigating the pathogenicity and transmissibility of important human viruses, and for the pre‐clinical assessment of vaccines. However, relatively little is known about the ferret immune system, due in part to a paucity of ferret‐reactive reagents. In particular, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are critical in the generation of effective humoral responses in humans, mice and other animal models but to date it has not been possible to identify Tfh in ferrets. Here, we describe the screening and development of ferret-reactive BCL6, CXCR5 and PD-1 monoclonal antibodies. We found two commercial anti-BCL6 antibodies (clone K112-91 and clone IG191E/A8) had cross-reactivity with lymph node cells from influenza-infected ferrets. We next developed two murine monoclonal antibodies against ferret CXCR5 (clone feX5-C05) and PD-1 (clone fePD-CL1) using a single B cell PCR-based method. We were able to clearly identify Tfh cells in lymph nodes from influenza infected ferrets using these antibodies. The development of ferret Tfh marker antibodies and the identification of ferret Tfh cells will assist the evaluation of vaccine-induced Tfh responses in the ferret model and the design of novel vaccines against the infection of influenza and other viruses, including SARS-CoV2.

Twelve monoclonal antibodies have been raised against proteins in preparations of Z-disks isolated from Drosophila melanogaster flight muscle. The monoclonal antibodies that recognized Z-band components were identified by immunofluorescence microscopy of flight muscle myofibrils. These antibodies have identified three Z-disk antigens on immunoblots of myofibrillar proteins. Monoclonal antibodies alpha:1-4 recognize a 90-100-kD protein which we identify as alpha-actinin on the basis of cross-reactivity with antibodies raised against honeybee and vertebrate alpha-actinins. Monoclonal antibodies P:1-4 bind to the high molecular mass protein, projectin, a component of connecting filaments that link the ends of thick filaments to the Z-band in insect asynchronous flight muscles. The anti-projectin antibodies also stain synchronous muscle, but, surprisingly, the epitopes here are within the A-bands, not between the A- and Z-bands, as in flight muscle. Monoclonal antibodies Z(210):1-4 recognize a 210-kD protein that has not been previously shown to be a Z-band structural component. A fourth antigen, resolved as a doublet (approximately 400/600 kD) on immunoblots of Drosophila fibrillar proteins, is detected by a cross reacting antibody, Z(400):2, raised against a protein in isolated honeybee Z-disks. On Lowicryl sections of asynchronous flight muscle, indirect immunogold staining has localized alpha-actinin and the 210-kD protein throughout the matrix of the Z-band, projectin between the Z- and A-bands, and the 400/600-kD components at the I-band/Z-band junction. Drosophila alpha-actinin, projectin, and the 400/600-kD components share some antigenic determinants with corresponding honeybee proteins, but no honeybee protein interacts with any of the Z(210) antibodies.
