The eukaryotic expression plasmid of nonstructural protein Nsp1 of highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) strain SX-1 was constructed, and the mutants of Nsp1 protein zinc finger 1 (ZF1) were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis, their expression activities in eukaryotic cells were examined. The Nsp1 target gene was amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA of SX-1 strain, inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid of pCI-neo, and the positive plasmid was designated as pCI-neo-Nsp1. 8C, 10C, 25C and 28C in the Nsp1 protein ZF1 were mutated to A or S respectively by site-directed mutagenesis using pCI-neo-Nsp1 as template and 8 mutant plasmids were obtained. The plasmids were transfected into HeLa cells, the activity of Nsp1 protein was detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blotting. The results showed that Nsp1 protein distributed in the cytoplasm and the nucleus using Flag antibody and Nsp1 protein mainly distributed in the nucleus using Myc antibody. Western blotting analysis showed S mutant proteins were about 44 and 20 ku and A mutant proteins were about 44 ku when detected by Flag antibody, while S mutant proteins were about 44 and 27 ku and A mutant proteins were about 44 ku when detected by Myc antibody. These results showed the eukaryotic expression plasmid of Nsp1 mutant were constructed successfully by site-directed mutagenesis and could be successfully expressed in HeLa cells, which provided the foundation for further researching whether ZF1 of Nsp1 protein downregulated the type Ⅰ IFN.

Cathelicidins comprised a family of antimicrobial peptides sharing a highly conserved cathelin domain, they played a critical role in the innate immune system of chicken. In this study, the constructed positive clones of Rosetta(DE3)/pET30-CathL1S, pET30-CathL2S and pET30-CathL3S were cultured and induced to express target protein by addition of 1.0 mmol/L IPTG in LB. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis demonstrated that Cathelicidins genes were expressed in the form of fusion protein, except for CathL-1 mature peptide, and the apparent molecular weight of expression products were 7, 8, 7.5 ku, respectively. The recombinant Cathelicidins were able to kill both gram negative bacteria and gram positive bacteria by the means of agar well diffusion assay (AWDA), especially for the antibiotic-resistant strains. Young chickens as animal model were used to test antibacterial activity and the result indicated that 5 mg/kg recombinant CathL-1 could completely protect the chicken from infection of Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 6538). Low dose of CathL-1 could apparently increase weight of chickens.

E3L protein is a kind of nonstructural protein of poxvirus expressed in early time. It can inhibit immunity of host cells and be ralated with virus virulence and tropism. However, E3L protein in sheeppoxvirus (SPPV) is rarely understood. We have predicted N-terminal of E3L protein in SPPV by bioinformatics methods as well as using the N-terminal of E3L proteins which have been predicted. And then the structural domains, secondary structures, tertiary structures and amino acid compositions of the above proteins have also been predicted using these online programs, such as WebLab, SWISS-MODEL and ExPASY tools. The bioinformatical analysis results show that the protein and other Zα famliy proteins have the same basic structural characteristics and structural domains, implying that the N-terminal of E3L protein in SPPV might belong to Zα famliy.

Secretory IgA (SIgA) as a antibody which is packaged in the intestinal mucosal, could protect the gut from pathogenic microorganisms and toxins attack without causing an inflammatory reaction, plays an important role in mucosal immunity and intestinal homeostasis. In animal intestine studies, SIgA blocks pathogenic microorganisms invade the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, through the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell receptor recognition ability. Subsequently SIgA promotes to entrap them in mucus, and facilitate their removal by peristaltic and mucociliary activities. In addition, recently it has also been reported that SIgA reveals new mechanism in intestinal epithelial cell. We summarize the intrinsic biological activities now associated with SIgA and their relationships with immunity and intestinal homeostasis,and try to explore the potential role of SIgA transcytosis mechanism.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of probiotics on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance of growing minks. Ninety six healthy minks at the age of 60-day-old were randomly divided into 4 groups with 24 replicates (12 males and 12 females) in each group. The control group of minks was offered a basal diet, the group 1 to 3 were fed with a basal diet supplemented with 0.06 g Bacillus licheniformis and 0.06 g Bacillus subtilis, 12 mL Lactobacillus and 6 g yeast, and 0.06 g Bacillus licheniformis, 0.06 g Bacillus subtilis, 12 mL Lactobacillus and 6 g yeast, respectively. The trials of feeding and metabolism were used to analyze the average daily feed intake, average daily gain, feed to gain ratio (F/G), digestibility of crude protein, digestibility of crude fat, nitrogen deposition, net protein utilization and protein biological value. The results showed that compared with the control group, dry matter digestibility of group 1 and crude fat digestibility of group 2 decreased significantly (P<0.05), but the growth performance and nitrogen balance of minks, as well as nutrient digestibility of female minks had no significant difference (P>0.05). In conclusion, supplementation of probiotics in diet could not significantly improve growth performance, nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance of growing minks. There was no need to add probiotics in production of healthy growing minks.

TCID50 of virus was 10-7.8/mL.By the indirect immunofluorescence experiment,the yellow-green fluorescence occurred in the cell cytoblastema.The virus appeared typical porcine pseudorabies virus form, diameter was about 140 to 200 nm,circle with peolos and peolomer. It was inactivated by chloroform, ether,acid and heat. The cell cytoblastema which showed CPE were tested by RT-PCR, and the result was postive. The experimental animals appeared obvious clinical symptom and dead after inoculation.The results showed that PRV was successfully isolated from Liaoning province.

Dairy winter dysentery is a common acute diarrheal infectious disease in the worldwide. As the main feature,affected individuals excrete brown loose stools with blood and dysentry. It usually has a sudden onset,and spreads fast,can significantly reduce dairy milk production,cause serious economic losses to the farmer. We should strictly prevent the disease,once it breaks out suddenly,detect it early and have an appropriate treatment,cut off the spreading ways of the pathogen to prevent infection of the others. At the same time,we should strengthen the comprehensive management of the dairy herd.

Somatic cell count (SCC) is a test parameter for bovine mastitis and milk quality. In order to understand the correlation between SCC and some milk components in one buffalo dairy farm in Nanning area, 152 fresh milk samples at early lactation stage were randomly chosen and SCC, specific gravity(SP), protein, total solid and nonfat solid, lactose levels of milk were determined, correlation among them was analyzed. The results showed that 88.16% of samples had SCC less than 50×104/mL, 1.97% of samples had SCC more than 10×105/mL. SCC had an increasing trend with milk fat, but SCC had an increasing trend with the decrease of milk SP, milk protein, lactose, and nonfat solid level. There was a extremly significant negative correlation between SCC and lactose, between SCC and nonfat solid (P<0.01). In conclusion, SCC was not only significantly related to the milk lactose and nonfat solid level, but also associated with metabolic status of dairy buffalo cows postpartum.
