This study was aimed to clone and express ORFV086 protein of Orf virus (ORFV) in prokaryocytes and prepare polyclonal antibody anti-ORFV086 which was used to detect the expression of ORFV086 protein. The ORFV086 gene was amplified from genome DNA isolated from ORFV by PCR, then cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-33b (+) to construct a recombinant expression vector pET33b-086. The pET33b-086 was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) pLys and induced by IPTG from which the fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE. The purified protein was injected into New Zealand rabbits and the polyclonal antibody was prepared, which was identified by the indirect ELISA and Western blotting methods. The results showed that the recombinant protein mainly existed in the inclusion body with the expected molecular weight of about 100 ku. After purified by cutting the gel slices, target protein was used as immunogen to prepare polyclonal antibody. The titer of the polyclonal antibody was 1:128000. Western blotting method revealed that the purified polyclonal antibody had a specific affinity for the reorganizational and natural ORFV086 protein. Thus, the rabbit anti-ORFV086 polyclonal antibody was successfully prepared, providing a tool for further investigation on the role of ORFV086 protein infection.

This experiment was designed to investigate the regularity and significance of β-catenin and BMP2 mRNA expression in skin of young minks. The mRNA expressions of β-catenin and BMP2 in the skin from 0 to 6 weeks old minks were studied by Real-time quantitative PCR relative quantitative method (ΔΔCt). The dorsocentral region of skin samples were collected from three minks per week. The results showed that β-catenin significantly up-regulated at 4 weeks old (P<0.05) and reached the maximum at 5 weeks old (P<0.01), then compared to 5 weeks old,it extremely significantly decreased at 6 weeks old (P<0.01), while the expression of BMP2 mRNA kept stable with weeks increasing (P>0.05). Combined the results of hair follicle histology of young mink, we could conclude that the abundance of β-catenin mRNA was correlated with secondary follicle development. It might be involved in the development of skin and secondary hair follicle in mink, and the abundance of BMP2 did not apparently change at different developmental stages of follicles.

To get the molecular biology character of Salmonella abortus equi isolated from Xinjiang and investigate the structure and function of FliC gene, we amplified FliC gene using PCR method, cloned, sequenced and analyzed FliC gene using bioinformatic methods. The results indicated that FliC genes of 2 isolates were 626 bp (GenBank: KJ486797, KJ486798). Sequence homology analysis showed that compared with those strains obtained from GenBank, the nucleotide sequence identity of the FliC gene of these isolates in Xinjiang were 49.6% to 100%. The results showed that FliC gene was conserved during their evolution. This result would provide foundation for the analysis of molecular epidemiology of this disease and the prevention of this infection using FliC gene.

In order to obtain the recombinant chicken interferon-α (ChIFN-α) and study its biological activity, the recombinant E.coli was induced to express ChIFN-α. After ChIFN-α inclusions were collected for renaturation and purification, Western blotting test for the recombinant ChIFN-α was done. By measuring the EID50 of chicken embryos infected with avian influenza virus (AIV) H9 subtype, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), we investigated the antiviral activity of the recombinant ChIFN-α and determined its antiviral potency by cytopathic effect inhibition assay. The specific bands were found as expected in Western blotting test of renaturated ChIFN-α. In addition, the ChIFN-α showed significant antiviral activity against AIV H9, NDV and IBV, and antiviral potency of the interferon was about 1.5×210 U according to the test on CEF/VSV cell line. High-concentration ChIFN-α showed cytotoxicity. The recombinant ChIFN-α had immunogenicity and antigenicity. And it could inhibit or kill viruses in chicken embryos including AIV H9, NDV and IBV, which showed broad spectrum and high antiviral activity. The study would promote our research and development of antiviral products in the future.

A triplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (triplex RT-PCR) was developed to detect avian influenza viruses (AIVs) and H9 N2 subtype AIVs simultaneously. Three pairs of specific primers were designed according to the conserved regions on the sequences of H9 AIV HA gene, N2 AIV NA gene and AIV M gene in GenBank. It showed that all samples containing H9N2 subtype AIV could be amplified into three specific bands, 313 bp for HA gene, 451 bp for NA gene and 667 bp for M gene by this triplex PCR. All samples containing N2 subtype AIV with different HA genes (not H9) could be amplified into two specific bands, 451 bp for N2 subtype AIV and 667 bp for M gene. All samples containing other subtypes of AIVs (not H9 or N2) could be amplified into one specific band, 667 bp for M gene. No specific bands of the same sizes were amplified from genomic materials of other avian pathogens. The detection limit of triplex PCR was 10-2 ng/μL. The results of triplex PCR for detection of clinical samples were coincident with that of the viral isolation completely. Our results demonstrated that the optimized triplex PCR assay was quick, specific and sensitive for detection of AIVs especially H9 and N2 subtype AIV.

The purpose of this study was to identify the strain CVCC 3982 isolated from a death dairy cow's lung in Beijing and determine its pathogenicity. The suspected pathogen was identified by means of Biolog system and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Its pathogenicity was determined by artificial inoculation in CD-1 mice, synthetic primers were used to examine the main virulence genes. The results showed that the suspected pathogen was gram positive bacillus, β hemolysis. The identification result of Biolog was Trueperella pyogenes. The homology of 16S rDNA gene sequence with the Trueperella pyogenes type strain NCTC 5224 reached 100%. By the phylogenetic analysis, the isolate was in the same branch with Trueperella pyogenes. The isolate contained hemolysin (plo) gene, neuraminidase H (nanH) gene, neuraminidase P (nanP) gene, fimbriae gene (fimA, fimC, fimE), but was lack of collagen-binding protein (cbpA) gene and fimG gene.

To analyze the molecular characterization and evolutionary relationship of the virulence associated genes of the BJ/YT strain which was isolated from a Yorkshire Terrier in Beijing in 2012. The results revealed that the homologies of the gE gene nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences were 98.9% to 100.0% and 98.3% to 100.0%, respectively; meanwhile, the homologies of the TK gene nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequence were 99.2% to 99.9% and 99.0% to 100.0%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree based on gE gene showed that BJ/YT and the strains isolated from Hebei province could be grouped into a relatively independent branch, and all of them shared a high homology. Besides, a concordant mutation site was presented. Few mutation sites in gE and TK amino acid sequences were observed when compared with other referenced sequences. But those sites were not located in the main domains or antigenic epitope regions. Therefore, from the view of molecular epidemiology, it was likely that the BJ/YT isolate was the main circulating strain in Beijing and its surrounding area the last few years. However, the variations of gE and TK genes did not have obvious effects on the virulence of the epidemic strain during this period.

In order to provide a more dependent and fine tool for porcine immunology research, we developed a serial of pig specific NF-κB reporter system. Firstly, 6 reporter vectors were constructed by using 6 NF-κB recognition sites. Through transfection of porcine iliac endothelial cell line (PIEC), porcine alveolar macrophages cell line 3D4/21 and porcine primary fetal fibroblasts(CPEF), the relative luciferase expression was detected. These 6 reporter vectors, constructed in this study, could effectively report the expression of p65 subunit of porcine NF-κB, and the upregulation fold-changes were all higher than that of pNF-κB-Luc. The luciferase activities of reporter vectors A to F displayed regular difference among each other, of which reporter vector C showed the highest activities, while reporter vector F was the lowest. Compared to the commercial available NF-κB reporter vetor, those all 6 reporter vectors showed higher specificity of transcription activities. So our vector series could be used as NF-κB reporter vectors for the porcine species.

This experiment was aimed to study the inhibition effects of nitric oxide (NO) on Brucella in the process of Brucella infecting mice macrophage, and the interaction relations between NO and asymmetry dimethylarginine (ADMA). Brucella vaccine strain M5 was used to infect mice macrophags, then NO production and ADMA levels were determined by the Griess reagent method and ELISA. CFU were counted for each infection period. Results suggest that the NO production of macrophages rose when they were infected by Brucella, and the extracellular release quantity was significanty higher than the intracellular (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the differences were significant (P<0.05). But the ADMA levels showed the opposite trend with NO content. There were extremely significant differences (P<0.01) compared with the control group. Combined with CFU count results, it showed that the inhibition effects of NO on Brucella only occurred at the early stage of the infection (the former 12 h), but not at the later period (the last 12 h). The ADMA had certain inhibitory effect on NO generated in the process of Brucella infecting mice macrophage.

The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of Astragalus polysaccharin (APS) on adhesion of peripheral lymphocyte (PLC) and jugular vein endothelial cells (JVEC) in broiler. The JVEC and PLC of broiler were treated independently with four doses of APS (0,200,600 and 1000 μg/mL) and the adhesion changes of them were observed subsequently. Also the two types of cells were incubated with interleukin-1 (IL-1,1000 U/mL) or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α,1000 U/mL) to investigate the effect of APS on intercellular adhesion and the regulatory mechanism of APS to intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and T-lymphocyte subsets CD4+.The results showed that the PLC-JVEC adhesion increased significantly when the JVEC was incubated with APS (600 μg/mL) (P<0.05).The same significant increment of intercellular adhesion was observed when the JVEC was incubated with the combination of IL-1 and APS (1000 μg/mL),or the PLC was incubated with the combination of IL-1 and APS (200,600 and 1000 μg/mL) (P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the PLC-JVEC adhesion increased significantly when the JVEC was incubated with the combination of TNF-α (P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the values of ICAM-1 and percentage of positive cell (CD4+) increased significantly with the combined treatment of IL-1 and high dose of APS (1000 μg/mL) (P<0.05).In conclusion,the dose of APS affected its regulation on PLC-JVEC adhesion. Under this experimental conditions,both the medium and high doses of APS (600 and 1000 μg/mL)could increase the PLC-JVEC adhesion alone or with the combination of IL-1 and TNF-α.At the same time,the high dose of APS (1000 μg/mL) could exert the immunomodulatory by changing the secretion (expression) of ICAM-1 and CD4+.

To explore the influence of recombinant chicken interferon-α/chicken interleukin-2 fusion protein (rChIFN-α-Linker-ChIL-2 protein, recombinant fusion protein) on the percentage content of peripheral T lymphocyte subsets (PBLC) of SPF chicken,the flow cytometry was used to detected the percentage contents of CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio in PBLC at different days post injection in the 14-day-old SPF chicken injected with rChIFN-α-Linker-ChIL-2 protein (group 2) and recombinant chicken interferon α (rChIFN-α) protein (group 3). The results indicated that the recombinant fusion protein and rChIFN-α protein could increase the percentage content of CD3+CD4+ T lymphocyte, decrease the percentage content of CD3+CD8+ T lymphocyte, improve CD4+ /CD8+ T lymphocyte ratio during 3 to 14 d post injection. The percentage contents of CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in chickens of group 2 were significantly different from the PBS control group (group 1) (P<0.01), and were notably different from group 3 during 3 to 7 d post injection (P<0.05). These results showed that both the rChIFN-α-Linker-ChIL-2 protein and rChIFN-α protein could affect the percentage contents of lymphocyte subsets, improve CD4+/CD8+ ratio, enhance the cellular immune function in chicken. The influences of rChIFN-α-Linker-ChIL-2 protein on the percentage contents of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T lymphocyte, and CD4+/CD8+ value were notable higher than rChIFN-α, which suggested that recombinant fusion protein play a synergistic role of interferon alpha and interleukin-2 on the cellular immune function by this pathway in chicken.

This experiment was conducted to use four defined transcription factors that induced sertoli cells of transgenic mice to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Sertoli cells of transgenic mice were infected with retrovirus vectors that lead to the expression of Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4, green fluorescence protein (GFP) was also transduced to monitor the infection efficiency as well as an indicator of exogenous gene in part of induction experiments. As early as 3 days post-infection, the cells started to express GFP and morphologically differ from uninfected sertoli cells. As the culture prolonged, the single cell was getting smaller and more cells aggregating to form colonies. At 16 days, the GFP were silenced and compact and round-shaped colonies formed. Alkaline phosphatase staining showed that iPS cells in the undifferentiated condition, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that iPS cells could express the specific genes of embryonic stem cells, and could form embryoid body (EBs) which could differentiate into myriad cell types of three layer.

The objective of this study was to clone the sequence of duck type Ⅱ gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR-Ⅱ) gene, and to analyze the association of its expression levels with reproduction trait heterosis. RT-PCR method was used to clone GnRHR-Ⅱ gene fragments, and the expression levels during early laying days and laying fastigium period in Gaoyou duck, Jinding duck and crossed populations were tested by Real-time PCR method. Sequencing and homology analysis showed that the cloned duck GnRHR cDNA was about 500 bp in length, and it belonged to the avian type Ⅱ GnRHR isoforms. It was 96% identical to the cGnRHR-Ⅱ sequence reported in domestic chicken. From the early laying days to laying fastigium period, expression levels of GnRHR-Ⅱ gene in pituitary increased for Jinding duck, Gaoyou duck and crossed populations, with the highest expression levels in Jinding×Gaoyou hybrid group (P<0.01) . The expression levels of GnRHR-Ⅱ gene in hypothalamus also increased for Jinding duck, Gaoyou duck, however, it decreased in two crossed populations. The expression levels of GnRHR-Ⅱ gene in ovary were significantly higher for Jinding duck and two crossed populations than Gaoyou duck (P<0.01), but it decreased during laying fastigium period. Compared to Jinding duck and Gaoyou duck breeds, the two crossed populations had positive heterosis in 42-week production and 42-week egg fertilization percent, and negative heterosis in the first laying age and 42-week fertilized egg hatching rate traits. It suggested that the short-lived higher expression of ovary GnRHR-Ⅱ gene before early laying days be correlated with heterosis of the first laying age and 42-week production traits, and its higher expression levels in pituitary could aid to keep laying fastigium.

China is the largest country in rabbit industry in the world, but basic research in rabbit genetics and breeding is the serious lag actually, which makes progress a little only in recent years. The latest research progress on domestic rabbit genetics and breeding in 2013 were reviewed in the present paper so as to provide references for rabbit breeders. Firstly in aspect of traditional breeding, there were some introduction or investigation about genetic resources e.g. Jiuyishan rabbit, and researches on screening the best hybridized combination in meat or Rex rabbits. Secondly as for molecular marker assisted breeding, it focused on the polymorphisms and expressions of candidate genes related to rabbit hair (hair color, hair follicle development), production (growth, slaughter and meat quality) and disease-resistant traits, furthermore several functional genes and potential molecular markers have been found. Finally, there were certain studies on techniques for inducing oestrus in females and improvement of semen dilution and preservation ways in males. Additionally,research of rabbit muscle proteomics was a bright spot in 2013. These research findings will favour the development of rabbit industry in China.

The present study was aimed to determine the efficacy of Rhizoma Dryopteris Crassirhizomae (RDC) soluble powder in artificial infection with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Firstly, SPF chicken were inoculated with the IBDV LX strain in order to induce virus infectious model, and then the chicken of high,middle,low 3 groups were administered orally with 198, 99 and 50 mg/kg RDC soluble powder while the chicken were administered with Korean RDC oral solution or Astragalus polysaccharide for 5 days as the control group. Meanwhile, chicken inoculated with IBDV and without IBDV were regarded as the infectious control and healthy control groups. Body weight gain, cure rate, survival rate and immune organ index were employed to determine the efficacies. After experimental infection with IBDV, an extremely significant increase of body weight gain was found in the RDC soluble powder middle and low dose groups compared to Korean RDC group (P<0.01).RDC soluble powder low dose group was significantly higher than RDC soluber powder middle dose group and Astragalus polysacharide group (P<0.05), however, no significant difference was found between RDC soluble powder middle dose group and Astragalus polysaccharide group (P>0.05). With respect to the survival rate, 80% chicken recovered from IBDV infection in the RDC soluble powder high,middle,low dose groups, which were significantly higher compared to Korean RDC group (66.7%) and Astragalus polysaccharide group (53.3%) (P<0.05). In terms of immune organ index, the significant increase of thymus and spleens indexes was found in RDC soluble powder middle and low does groups compared to that of the infectious control group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference of bursal index was found among RDC soluble powder high,middle and low dose groups, Korean RDC group and Astragalus polysaccharide group (P>0.05).In summary, chicken administered orally with 50 mg/kg RDC soluble powder for 5 days would contribute to the immune activation by improvement of thymus and spleen indexes, leading to high survival rate against the artificially challenge with IBDV. With respect to survival rate and recovery protection, it was higher than that of Astragalus polysaccharide.

To investigate the effect of Tonifying Qi-Nourishing Spleen herbs on small intestinal mucosa in diarrheal piglets, antibiotics and Chinese herbal medicine were adopted to heal diarrheal piglets. Piglets were sacrificed by bloodletting in veins, dissected peritoneal cavity, and gathered small intestinal mucosa abacterially. Then, the changes of histopathology and cellular structures in small intestinal mucosa were observed by using pathological and electron microscopic sections. The results showed that small intestinal mucosa had no obvious pathological changes except slight hemorrhage in Chinese herbal medicine group. Nevertheless, there were more pathological changes in antibiotics group, for instance, small intestinal mucosa had desquamated with extensive hyperemia and hemorrhage concomitantly; epithelial cells were degenerated and necrotic;eosinophilic granulocyte displayed cellular infiltration, which included inflammatory cell infiltrate principally as lymphocyte;microvillus had desquamated and arranged indiscriminately; mucous membrane cells were damaged seriously and mitochondria presented structural abnormalities. We concluded that the therapy of using antibiotics in diarrheal piglets might cause pathological changes and functional impairment in small intestinal mucosa, and using Chinese herbal medicine might be beneficial for plerosis of small intestinal mucosa, which would provide the theoretical foundation to cure diarrhea and improve growth performance of piglets.

Canine third eyelid hyperplasia was an ophthalmopathy, because of gland hypertrophy and other reasons with the nictitating membrane together from the eye turned outwards and induced inflammation, most of which were treated by excision method and embedding method. In order to research the advantages and disadvantages of excision method and embedding method for canine third eyelid hyperplasia, we used 20 dogs which both eyes had third eyelid hyperplasia and not suffer from other diseases, and divided into excision group and embedding group to do operation and track observation. The results showed that the excision method had simple operation,recovery time was short and other advantages, but the dogs would have the sequelae, dry eye disease after curement, there was great harm to their health. While embedding method's operation was complex, recovery time was longer, but as long as the operators mastered skilled operation, the cure effect could also be achieved, and would not have other bad effect on the dog. Although the two methods had their advantages and disadvantages, the disadvantages of excision method outweighed its advantages, sequelae would bring dogs more inconvenience, and embedding method had more advantages than disadvantages, as long as they could master the operation method,do well postoperative nurse, and overcome the drawbacks. In future clinical practice, we should try to persuade the dog's owner to use embedding method to treat the third eyelid hyperplasia.
