Abstract:

In order to clarify the characteristics of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) mutant strain in Shandong,Vero cells were used for virus isolation and in vitro subculture of diarrhea materials from a pig farm in Juxian.The virus sequence and characteristic analysis were performed by optical microscopy and ultrathin section observation,RT-PCR detection,indirect immunofluorescence assay,S gene sequence evolution analysis,titer determination and pathogenicity test,and explored the change of cell shedding time after poisoning.Optical microscopy showed that the virus infected with Vero cells could cause typical syncytium lesions.Ultrathin sections of the cells showed that the virions were mostly dense cores,which caused the mitochondria of the host cells to swell and dissolve.The results of RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assay confirmed that the isolated virus of JX16 belonged to PEDV.The strain was finally confirmed to be a variant strain by sequencing. In vitro subculture to 100 generations,as the virus generation increased,its adaptability to cells continued to increase.The cell shedding time was gradually shortened from 48 to 17 h after virus infected.The virus titer was gradually increased from 105.3TCID50/mL at the 6th generation to 107.5TCID50/mL at the 100th generation.The virulence test showed that the virulence of the virus gradually decreased with the increase of the generation,and the 40th generation had no pathogenicity to the piglets.This article built the foundation for the identification of the pathogenic genes and the development of vaccines of PEDV mutants.

Key words: porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV); passage culture; pathogenicity
