Antibodies in blood and secretions of chickens immunized parenterally and locally with killed Newcastle disease virus vaccine.

In mammals the antibody activity in secretions is associated with the secretory IgA. This unique immunoglobulin plays a major role in immunity against infectious diseases of the alimentary and the respiratory tracts. We found a similar system of local immunity against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in the fowl. Airway washings and bile globulins of chickens were examined by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoretic methods. No antigenic differences were found between the serum IgA and the secretory IgA of airway washings and of bile. The chicken IgA differs from mammalian IgA by lacking secretory component. Antibodies in the airway washings and in tears of chickens immunized by aerosol ir i.m. NDV vaccine (attenuated or inactive) were compared to serum antibodies produced by similar methods of administration. HI antibodies in secretions reached higher levels after aerosol vaccination than after i.m. administration, whereas in serum the situation was reversed. The antibody activity in airway washings and in tears is associated with IgA, while in serum the main antibody is IgG.

An evaluation of Newcastle disease virus spray vaccination programs of market turkeys.

Commercial market turkeys that were spray-vaccinated at 2 to 3 weeks of age with viable Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine usually did not develop high or persistent levels of serum antibody as detected by the hemagglutination-inhibition test. Vaccinated turkeys exhibited a satisfactory level of resistance to infection and clinical disease when challenged by the oculonasal or aerosol route at 2 weeks post-vaccination, and they resisted clinical disease when challenged at 6 weeks, but the level of protection diminished by 10 weeks post-vaccination. It is suggested that market turkeys produced in an NDV-enzootic area may require two or more NDV vaccinations by spray during their growing period in order to be adequately protected against natural NDV infection.

[Newcastle disease: an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the control of antibodies in chicks].

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a vaccine strain of Newcastle disease as antigen has been developed. It allows the control of the drop in the maternal antibody level of 1 and 28 days old chicks. Thus it can be used as alternative to the inhibition of hemagglutination method. A comparative study has shown a good correlation between the enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay and the inhibition of hemagglutination.

A dot immunoblotting assay (dot blot ELISA) for early detection of Newcastle disease antibodies in chickens.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using nitrocellulose blotting membrane (dot blot ELISA) was developed for the detection of antibodies against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in chickens. In this method, a nitrocellulose blotting membrane was used as the solid phase carrier. NDV antigens were directly bound onto the nitrocellulose membrane that was set into a dot blot microfiltration apparatus. Efficiency of the assay was evaluated using known positive and negative NDV sera obtained from chickens. The ability of the assay to detect antibodies 2 days earlier than the standard hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test was demonstrated on sera collected from chickens experimentally infected with NDV, La Sota strain.

Newcastle disease virus pathogenesis in the respiratory tract of local or systemic immunized chickens.

Establishment of selective immunity, local or systemic, made it possible to evaluate the pathogenesis of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in the respiratory tract of chickens that were previously immunized with beta-propiolactone-inactivated antigen. NDV was inoculated intranasally or intramuscularly to chickens in different states of immunity (local or systemic). Humoral antibodies protected chickens against intranasal as well as intramuscular infection. Local antibodies, on the other hand, conferred immunity only against intranasal challenge. The respiratory tract supported multiplication of the virus, producing a self-limited subclinical infection. Replication of the virus in this system was negligible, playing only a minor role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Pathotyping of Newcastle disease virus with a filamentous bacteriophage.

A filamentous phage bearing the peptide sequence TLTTKLY was isolated from a heptapeptide phage display library against a velogenic Newcastle disease virus (NDV). In order to investigate the potential of this specific phage as an immunological reagent in virus pathotyping, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based method was developed. This method can differentiate the velogenic strains from the mesogenic and lentogenic strains. An equilibrium-binding assay in solution showed that the interactions between the phage and all the NDV strains gave rise to two widely differing dissociation constants (Kdrel). Based upon the first Kdrel values, NDV strains can be classified into two groups; the first comprises the velogenic strains, and the second consists of the mesogenic and lentogenic strains. These results indicate a high degree of correlation between the binding affinities and pathotyping of NDV strains using the TLTTKLY phage.

Effect of liquid paraffin on antibody responses and local adverse reactions of bivalent oil adjuvanted vaccines containing newcastle disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus.

Effects of liquid paraffin on antibody responses and local adverse reactions after intramuscular injection of oil adjuvanted vaccines containing Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) virus were investigated in chickens. Each vaccine was prepared with a liquid paraffin such as Carnation, Crystol 52 and Lytol. These vaccines induced sustained antibody responses against ND and IB. Among local adverse reactions, Lytol induced granulomatous reactions and abscesses, but Carnation and Crystol 52 did not. The residual weight of liquid paraffin at the injection site decreased in the order Carnation, Crystol 52, Lytol. Crystol 52 was composed of relatively few short-chain hydrocarbons (i.e., n-C20H42). The vaccine with liquid paraffin mainly composed of n-C16H34-n-C20H42 was suggested to induce fewer adverse reactions.

A diagnostic immunoassay for Newcastle disease virus based on the nucleocapsid protein expressed by a recombinant baculovirus.

A recombinant baculovirus containing a cDNA clone encoding the nucleocapsid (NP) protein of Newcastle disease virus (strain Ulster 2C) has been used to infect insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda). High levels of overexpressed NP protein were observed, comprising up to 40% of total cellular protein, which were subsequently shown to be antigenic. Nucleoprotein derived from the crude soluble lysate of infected insect cells has been used in an indirect ELISA to detect the presence of anti-NDV antibodies in a cohort of chicken sera. Data produced from these tests indicated a good correlation between ELISA titre and haemagglutination inhibition test data. The test was not affected by interference from background cellular proteins nor by cross-reactivity with non-NDV poultry pathogens. Additionally, the test did not generate false-positive readings.

Newcastle disease oil emulsion vaccines prepared with animal, vegetable, and synthetic oils.

Animal, vegetable, and synthetic oils were tested as potential replacements for mineral oil in Newcastle disease oil emulsion vaccines. Emulsifying surfactants of seed oil origin comprised 10% of the the oil phase that was used to prepare water-in-oil emulsion vaccines that contained a final concentration of 20% aqueous antigen. The hemagglutination inhibition responses of chickens inoculated with 46 of the newly formulated oil vaccines were, in most cases, not significantly different from those of control chickens inoculated with mineral oil vaccine. Tissue reactions associated with animal, vegetable, and synthetic oil vaccines were less severe than those associated with mineral oil vaccines. Viscosity of the mineral oil formulations ranged from 1/2 to 3 1/2 times that of the mineral oil control vaccines. These findings indicate that any of several oils may be more suitable than mineral oil for preparation of immune adjuvants for poultry vaccines.

Comparison of the immunogenicity of Newcastle disease virus strains V4, Hitchner B1 and La Sota in chickens. 2. Tests in chickens with maternal antibody to the virus.

The immunogenicity of three Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains--V4, Hitchner B1 and La Sota, was assessed in chickens that had varying levels of maternal antibody to the virus. Chickens were immunised at different ages by the eye drop and aerosol methods. The immune response of chickens to similar doses of the strains was affected by the presence of maternal antibody. Both the level of maternal antibody and the strain of virus used affected the result. Strain La Sota was least affected as it took higher levels of maternal antibody to depress response to it than were required to have a similar effect on Hitchner B1 and V4. Strain V4 was the strain most affected by circulating maternal antibody. The results demonstrated that strain V4 was less immunogenic than Hitchner B1 and La Sota when used in chickens with maternal antibody to NDV.

Determination of hemagglutination activity recovered from oil-emulsion Newcastle disease vaccines as a prediction of efficacy.

Hemagglutination (HA) activity was recovered from the aqueous phases of commercially and experimentally prepared oil-emulsion (OE) Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccines using two methods: aqueous partition and freeze-thaw. Quantitation of the HA activity retrieved by the aqueous partition technique was directly related to the degree of protection conferred to chickens against a strain of velogenic viscerotropic (VV) NDV in nine of the ten vaccines analyzed. One of the ten vaccines yielded high levels of retrieved HA activity but induced low hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody levels and low levels of protection. Therefore, the retrieval and quantitation of HA activity from OE NDV vaccines using the partition technique provides a useful adjunct to vaccine testing methods that doesn't require vaccination and challenge trials. The freeze-thaw method did not yield measurable HA titers for all vaccines with high efficacy, so its use should be restricted to only those vaccines for which it has been demonstrated to be suitable.

Ultrastructural changes of the tracheal epithelium after vaccination of day-old chickens with the La Sota strain of Newcastle disease virus.

The progression of tracheal lesions induced by vaccination of day-old specific pathogen-free chicks with the La Sota strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was examined by relating surface changes as observed by scanning electron microscopy with subcellular changes seen by transmission electron microscopy. NDV infection resulted in hypertrophy of goblet cells, their rupture, and the formation of excess mucus. Activation of goblet cells peaked within 4 days postvaccination. Afterward, the activation levels gradually decreased. At the level of the ciliated cells, a marked increase in the proportion of nonciliated to ciliated cells and later an almost complete deciliation of the tracheal surface were observed because a simple squamous to cuboidal epithelium replaced the original pseudostratified epithelium. Fifteen days postvaccination, all epithelial damage was restored. Because the observed vaccination-induced lesions are detrimental to epithelial integrity and function as a barrier against invading microorganisms, they might explain at the ultrastructural level the secondary complications of vaccination with the La Sota strain against NDV.

Catecholaminergic transmission in different brain regions of chick during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection.

Alterations in the catecholaminergic transmission during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection was studied in different brain regions of chick. The results obtained in the present study reveal that the epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine and 5-HT were decreased and monoamineoxidase activity was elevated during both the time periods of infection. The chickens after 72 h infection showed more depletion when compared to 24 h, indicating that the catecholaminergic activity was impaired during NDV infection.

Detection of virulent Newcastle disease virus using a phage-capturing dot blot assay.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains can be classified as virulent or avirulent based upon the severity of the disease. Differentiation of the virus into virulent and avirulent is necessary for effective control of the disease. Biopanning experiments were performed using a disulfide constrained phage displayed heptapeptide library against three pathotypes of NDV strains: velogenic (highly virulent), mesogenic (moderately virulent) and lentogenic (avirulent). A phage clone bearing the peptide sequence SWGEYDM capable of distinguishing virulent from avirulent NDV strains was isolated. This phage clone was employed as a diagnostic reagent in a dot blot assay and it successfully detected only virulent NDV strains.

Application of cell fractionation techniques in the study of cells infected with polyoma virus and Newcastle disease virus.

Fisher, Harold W. (University of Rhode Island, Kingston), Hidemi Matsumiya, and Masanobu Azuma. Application of cell fractionation techniques in the study of cells infected with polyoma virus and Newcastle disease virus. J. Bacteriol. 91:1645-1651. 1966.-Techniques which permitted rigorous separation of nuclei and cytoplasm were applied to the study of the formation of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in an established line of Chinese hamster cells and of polyoma virus (PYV) in mouse embryo fibroblasts. The results obtained for hemagglutinin and plaque-forming titers during virus growth were in agreement with those obtained by others, using different techniques. These indicated that NDV matures in the cytoplasm, and PYV in the nucleus, of host cells.
