data from 11 years of molecular typing infectious bronchitis virus field isolates. | in 1993, a new molecular typing method for infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was introduced. this method uses reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis of the spike gene to obtain rflp patterns that correlate with serotype. using that test at the poultry diagnostic and research center (pdrc, university of georgia, athens, ga), we have identified a total of 1523 ibv isolates in the past 11 yr. the data were obtained from ... | 2005 | 16405010 |
effect of ibv-h120 vaccination in broilers on colibacillosis susceptibility after infection with a virulent massachusetts-type ibv strain. | vaccination against infectious bronchitis (ib) is aimed to protect against clinical ib. the question is, however, whether vaccinated birds are also protected against predisposure for colibacillosis after a subsequent ibv infection. we examined this research question in four experiments. one-day-old commercial broilers, housed in isolators, were vaccinated with ib vaccine strain h120 by coarse spray or ocularly. twenty-eight days after vaccination, broilers were challenged with the virulent ibv s ... | 2005 | 16404996 |
molecular characterization of avian infectious bronchitis virus strains isolated in colombia during 2003. | sixteen infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) isolates were recovered from broilers and layers from five geographic poultry regions in colombia. the viruses were isolated from tracheas, lungs, and cecal tonsils of birds, previously vaccinated with the massachusetts strain, that were showing respiratory signs. further analysis of the ibv isolates was achieved by phylogenetic analysis comparing their deduced amino acid sequences in the hypervariable region 1 of the s1 gene with reference strains. four ... | 2005 | 16404989 |
genetic diversity of avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus strains isolated in china between 1995 and 2004. | twenty-six avian infectious bronchitis (ib) viruses (ibv) were isolated from outbreaks in chickens in china between 1995 and 2004. they were characterized by comparison with twenty-six chinese reference strains and five other ibv strains. chinese ibvs, which were mainly nephropathogenic, were placed into seven genotypes. fourteen chinese ibv isolates were placed in genotype i, having small evolutionary distances from each other. genotype ii included 6 strains that were isolated in the 1990s in c ... | 2006 | 16397751 |
neither the rna nor the proteins of open reading frames 3a and 3b of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus are essential for replication. | gene 3 of infectious bronchitis virus is tricistronic; open reading frames (orfs) 3a and 3b encode two small nonstructural (ns) proteins, 3a and 3b, of unknown function, and a third, structural protein e, is encoded by orf 3c. to determine if either the 3a or the 3b protein is required for replication, we first modified their translation initiation codons to prevent translation of the 3a and 3b proteins from recombinant infectious bronchitis viruses (ribvs). replication in primary chick kidney ( ... | 2006 | 16352554 |
the nucleocapsid protein of coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus: crystal structure of its n-terminal domain and multimerization properties. | the coronavirus nucleocapsid (n) protein packages viral genomic rna into a ribonucleoprotein complex. interactions between n proteins and rna are thus crucial for the assembly of infectious virus particles. the 45 kda recombinant nucleocapsid n protein of coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is highly sensitive to proteolysis. we obtained a stable fragment of 14.7 kda spanning its n-terminal residues 29-160 (ibv-n29-160). like the n-terminal rna binding domain (sars-n45-181) of the seve ... | 2005 | 16338414 |

development of a quantitative light cycler real-time rt-pcr for detection of avian reovirus. | a robust, ultrasensitive, and accurate quantitative assay was developed for avian reovirus (arv) with the light cycler sybr green-based real-time reverse transcription-pcr (real-time lc rt-pcr). the assay exhibited high specificity as all negative controls and other avian pathogens, such as newcastle disease virus (ndv), infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv), avian influenza virus (aiv), and mycoplasma synovia (ms), failed to show any positive detection. a min ... | 2006 | 16300834 |
differential localization and turnover of infectious bronchitis virus 3b protein in mammalian versus avian cells. | infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) 3b protein is highly conserved among group 3 coronaviruses, suggesting that it is important for infection. a previous report (virology 2003, 311:16-27) indicated that transfected ibv 3b localized to the nucleus in mammalian cells using a vaccinia-virus expression system. although we confirmed these findings, we observed cytoplasmic localization of ibv 3b with apparent exclusion from the nucleus in avian cells (ibv normally infects chickens). ibv 3b was virtually ... | 2006 | 16298409 |
reproduction of proventriculitis in commercial and specific-pathogen-free broiler chickens. | proventriculitis was studied by experimentally reproducing the disease in broiler chickens. one-day-old infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) and infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) antibody positive commercial broilers and 1-day-old antibody negative specific-pathogen-free (spf) broilers were orally gavaged with proventricular homogenates produced from the proventriculi of broilers with proventriculitis. at 7 and 14 days, both commercial and spf broilers had enlargement of the proventriculus wit ... | 2005 | 16252487 |
development of attenuated vaccines from taiwanese infectious bronchitis virus strains. | due to variations in serotypes among different strains of avian infectious bronchitis viruses (ibv), vaccination of chicks with imported vaccines fails to protect them from ibv infections in taiwan. therefore, we develop attenuated vaccines from local strains in taiwan. a taiwan group i (tw i) strain was passaged 74 times through specific pathogen-free (spf) chicken embryonated eggs, and then tested in spf chickens. the attenuated vaccine was not pathogenic in 1-week-old chicks, had a neutraliza ... | 2006 | 16239054 |
contribution of trafficking signals in the cytoplasmic tail of the infectious bronchitis virus spike protein to virus infection. | coronavirus spike (s) proteins are responsible for binding and fusion with target cells and thus play an essential role in virus infection. recently, we identified a dilysine endoplasmic reticulum (er) retrieval signal and a tyrosine-based endocytosis signal in the cytoplasmic tail of the s protein of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). here, an infectious cdna clone of ibv was used to address the importance of the s protein trafficking signals to virus infection. we constructed infectious cdna c ... | 2005 | 16227244 |
detection of infectious bronchitis virus and specific anti- viral antibodies using a concanavalin a-sandwich-elisa. | concanavalin a-sandwich elisa (con a-s-elisa) was developed for the detection of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) or chicken specific anti-viral antibodies. the antigen detection limit for the con a-s-elisa was 10(5,1) eid(50)/ml. three homologous and four heterologous ibv strains were similarly detected. this assay was highly effective in detecting the virus after infected tissue homogenates were passed once in embryonated chicken eggs, showing a good agreement with virus isolation technique. ... | 2005 | 16212536 |
a comparison of methods of inducing lachrymation and tear collection in chickens for detection of virus-specific immuoglobulins after infection with infectious bronchitis virus. | four-week-old specific-pathogen-free chickens were infected with virulent infectious bronchitis virus massachusetts strain m41 via the ocular-nasal route. at weekly intervals up to 3 weeks post-infection, excess lachrymation was induced either by placing sodium chloride (salt) crystals on the eyes or by intramuscular injection of carbachol. tears were collected using micropipettes or on filter paper. levels of virus-specific immunoglobulin (ig)a and igg were similar, irrespective of the method o ... | 2005 | 16191709 |
s1 gene characteristics and efficacy of vaccination against infectious bronchitis virus field isolates from the united states and israel (1996 to 2000). | the s1 genes of isolates of avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) from commercial chickens in the us and israel (20 isolates from each country) were studied using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing. partial sequences spanning the amino terminus region of s1 from amino acid residues 48 to 219, based on the beaudette strain, were used for analysis. phylogenetic clustering and high-sequence identity values were used ... | 2005 | 16191702 |
evaluation of serum- and animal protein-free media for the production of infectious bronchitis virus (m41) strain in a continuous cell line. | infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is produced in vitro using specific pathogen free chicken embryos, primary chicken kidney cells (ckc) and/or tracheal organ culture (toc). regulatory authorities in europe (emea) and in the united states (fda) have encouraged biological manufactures to reduce or eliminate the use of live animals and/or products of animal origin in biological manufacturing processes. in this paper, a stable chicken embryo-related (cer) cell line was adapted and maintained in seru ... | 2005 | 16186991 |
genetic variation in major histocompatibility complex class i alpha2 gene among broilers divergently selected for high or low early antibody response to escherichia coli. | the mhc genes have a profound effect on animal abilities to respond to specific antigens because they play a role in presenting foreign antigens to t cells during the course of the humoral or cellular immune response. in the current study, polymorphism in the mhc class i alpha2 domain was compared in 2 lines divergently selected for high (hh) or low (ll) antibody response to escherichia coli vaccine. these lines also differ markedly in their antibody response to natural e. coli exposure and to v ... | 2005 | 16156203 |
differential detection of turkey coronavirus, infectious bronchitis virus, and bovine coronavirus by a multiplex polymerase chain reaction. | the objective of the present study was to develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (pcr) method for differential detection of turkey coronavirus (tcov), infectious bronchitis coronavirus (ibv), and bovine coronavirus (bcov). primers were designed from conserved or variable regions of nucleocapsid (n) or spike (s) protein gene among tcov, ibv, and bcov and used in the same pcr reaction. reverse transcription followed by the pcr reaction was used to amplify a portion of n or s gene of the cor ... | 2006 | 16137773 |
selection of and recombination between minor variants lead to the adaptation of an avian coronavirus to primate cells. | an interesting question posed by the current evidence that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus may be originated from an animal coronavirus is how such an animal coronavirus breaks the host species barrier and becomes zoonotic. in this report, we study the chronological order of genotypic changes in the spike protein of avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) during its adaptation to a primate cell line. adaptation of the beaudette strain of ibv from chicken embryo to vero ... | 2005 | 16137658 |
development of a one-step strip test for the diagnosis of chicken infectious bursal disease. | a rapid diagnostic strip for chicken infectious bursal disease (ibd) was developed based on membrane chromatography using high-affinity monoclonal antibodies directed to chicken infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv). the diagnostic strip has high specificity for detection of chicken ibdv antigen and recognizes a variety of the virus isolates, including virulent and attenuated strains, with no cross-reactivity to other viruses, such as newcastle disease virus, marek's disease virus, infectious b ... | 2005 | 16094819 |
an atypical rna pseudoknot stimulator and an upstream attenuation signal for -1 ribosomal frameshifting of sars coronavirus. | the -1 ribosomal frameshifting requires the existence of an in cis rna slippery sequence and is promoted by a downstream stimulator rna. an atypical rna pseudoknot with an extra stem formed by complementary sequences within loop 2 of an h-type pseudoknot is characterized in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (sars cov) genome. this pseudoknot can serve as an efficient stimulator for -1 frameshifting in vitro. mutational analysis of the extra stem suggests frameshift efficiency can ... | 2005 | 16055920 |
