水貂细小病毒性肠炎灭活疫苗保存期试验

对2~8℃条件下保存90,120,150,180,210,240,300,360 d的水貂细小病毒性肠炎灭活疫苗接种水貂进行免疫试验,结果表明:保存300 d的疫苗接种水貂30 d后血清中水貂肠炎细小病毒(MEV)HI抗体均在1∶32以上,免疫水貂强毒攻击均获得100%保护,确定水貂细小病毒细胞灭活疫苗保存期为300 d。该结果为水貂细小病毒细胞灭活疫苗运输和保存提供了理论依据。     

营养限制对水貂补偿生长的影响

选取55只健康、体重相近的生长期水貂,随机分成5组,每组11只,进行了为期90d的试验。前50d饲喂基础日粮和基础日粮中的玉米粉分别用8．88％、17．77％、26．65％、35．53％的葡萄糖代替,同时添加适量的玉米蛋白粉制备成的5种等氮日粮。然后,各组均饲喂同样的鲜料。试验期间,每10d测1次体重,并记录,以研究营养限制对生长期水貂补偿生长的影响。试验结果表明：恢复常规饲喂后所有水貂体重都迅速增长,但是差异不显著（P〉0．05）。营养限制程度较重的第5组在补偿生长阶段体重增长较快,且超过限制程度较轻的组。在补偿生长后期,第Ⅳ、Ⅴ组的特定生长率较体重低的组显著下降（P〈0．05）。

美洲水貂TYR基因编码蛋白结构及功能的生物信息学分析

为进一步探明美洲水貂酪氨酸酶(TYR)基因的结构和功能信息,对美洲水貂TYR基因编码蛋白进行生物信息学分析,同时构建TYR基因的系统发育树。结果表明:美洲水貂TYR基因共编码531个氨基酸,其编码产物为不稳定的亲水蛋白;二级结构主要以α-螺旋和无规卷曲为主,含有1个酪氨酸酶超家族结构域,存在信号肽、跨膜结构域和二硫键;该蛋白主要在内质网中发挥细胞被膜、运输和结合的作用,同时还通过信号转导在细胞内发挥其生物学作用;系统进化情况和动物分类学基本一致,美洲水貂TYR基因与雪貂、家犬的亲缘关系最近。美洲水貂TYR基因编码蛋白在生物进化中具有较强保守性,该基因结构和功能的分析为水貂TYR基因遗传特性的进一步研究奠定了基础。     

水貂生长激素基因多态性与体质量性状的关联分析

以水貂的生长激素基因(GH)作为候选基因,采用单链构象多态性和DNA测序的方法检测GH基因单核苷酸多态性(SNPs),并针对该群体特点建立合适的统计分析模型,探讨GH基因多态性与体质量性状的相关性。结果表明,C→A突变产生的3种基因型间的水貂个体体质量存在一定的差异(P0.05),BB基因型个体与AA基因型个体之间有一定的差异(P0.05)。T→A和C→G突变没有导致氨基酸的变化,DD基因型个体体质量平均值要高于CC基因型,但产生的3种基因型对水貂体质量的影响没有显著性差异(P0.05)。统计各基因型之间的组合给水貂体质量带来的影响时,发现不同基因型之间的组合对所检测水貂样本的体质量有影响(P0.05)。     

Molecular Cloning,Sequence Analysis and Tissues Expression Profile of Part of Mink Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) Genes

The present study was aimed to explore the potential role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on the mink immunity, and accumulate alternative genetic material for the mink breeding for disease-resistant.Four pairs of primers were designed according to ferret TLR sequences in GenBank to obtain the sequences of TLR genes (TLR4, TLR6, TLR7 and TLR8) of mink and then performed bioinformatics analysis of these sequences.In addition, the expression of TLR4 and TLR7 genes in various tissues in young and adult minks were analyzed by RT-PCR. Sequence homology analysis showed that mink had higher homology with carnivora (ferrets, polar bear, panda, walrus, seals, dog, tiger and cat) which had the nearest perimeter in the phylogenetic tree.Tissue expression analysis showed that TLR4 and TLR7 were widely and differently expressed in variety tissues of mink.Interestingly, the expression of TLR4 and TLR7 in young mink were much higher than that in adult mink.

水貂阿留申病诊断技术研究进展

水貂阿留申病是水貂养殖业的重要疫病,目前无疫苗预防,主要通过发展诊断技术,淘汰感染貂防控该病。论文总结了在貂场应用的基因与抗体检测技术,基因检测具有高灵敏度和特异性,能够检测到动物带毒感染,不同类型的基因检测技术对变异性强的阿留申病毒检测各有所长;抗体检测是水貂阿留申病的主要检测方式,研究者不断创新和改进原有技术,趋向对阿留申病的规模化精准检测,但单一的抗体检测方法淘汰感染貂具有局限性。论文通过对两类检测技术分析,建议采用基因与抗体的联合检测方法,从感染貂群中区分耐受貂或抗性貂,期望为国内高感染率貂场的检测和选种提供参考。

为研制水貂阿留申病核酸疫苗,应用重叠延伸PCR技术去除ADV VP2基因中编码428~446位氨基酸的核苷酸序列,与pc DNA3.1(~+)载体连接,构建全基因突变重组质粒pc DNA3.1-ADV-428,在此基础上,截去编码487~501位氨基酸的核苷酸序列,构建全基因突变重组质粒pc DNA3.1-ADV-428-487。将构建的重组质粒经肌肉注射免疫小鼠,应用间接ELISA法检测接种后14、28、42、56 d抗ADV抗体水平;流式细胞术检测接种后第42天小鼠脾细胞CD3~+、CD4~+和CD8~+T淋巴细胞亚群。结果显示,小鼠接种质粒后CD3~+、CD4~+和CD8~+T淋巴细胞亚群数量均明显增加,第42天抗ADV抗体水平达峰值。本试验通过对ADV全基因突变重组质粒的免疫原性进行分析,为水貂阿留申病核酸疫苗的研制提供了参考。     

Validating an empiric sulfadiazine–trimethoprim dosage regimen for treatment of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus delphini infections in mink (Neovison vison)

Antimicrobial agents are used extensively off‐label in mink, as almost no agents are registered for this animal species. Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data are required to determine antimicrobial dosages specifically targeting mink bacterial pathogens. The aims of this study were to assess, in a PKPD framework, the empirical dosage regimen for a combination of trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) in mink, and secondarily to produce data for future setting of clinical breakpoints. TMP and SDZ PK parameters were obtained experimentally in 22 minks following IV or oral administration of TMP/SDZ (30 mg/kg, i.e. 5 mg/kg TMP and 25 mg/kg SDZ). fAUC/MIC with a target value of 24 hr was selected as the PKPD index predictive of TMP/SDZ efficacy. Using a modeling approach, PKPD cutoffs for TMP and SDZ were determined as 0.062 and 16 mg/L, respectively. By incorporating an anticipated potentiation effect of SDZ on TMP against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus delphini, the PKPD cutoff of TMP was revised to 0.312 mg/L, which is above the tentative epidemiological cutoffs (TECOFF) for these species. The current empirical TMP/SDZ dosage regimen (30 mg/kg, PO, once daily) therefore appears adequate for treatment of wild‐type E. coli and S. delphini infections in mink.
