identification of two atr-dependent phosphorylation sites on coronavirus nucleocapsid protein with nonessential functions in viral replication and infectivity in cultured cells. | coronavirus encodes an extensively phosphorylated and highly basic nucleocapsid (n) protein. previous studies have identified ser190, ser192, thr378 and ser379 as the phosphorylation sites for coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) n protein. in this study, we show that phosphorylation at thr378 and ser379 sites is dependent on the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (atm) and rad3-related (atr), a kinase activated during ibv replication. introduction of ala substitutions at these two sites ind ... | 2013 | 23849791 |
lactococcus lactis anchoring avian infectious bronchitis virus multi-epitope peptide epic induced specific immune responses in chickens. | mucosal immunity is critical in preventing infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) infection. to deliver viral antigens to the mucosal immune system of chickens safely and effectively, we constructed a lactococcus lactis strain carrying ibv multi-epitope gene epic fused with the gene of the cell-wall anchoring domain of staphylococcus aureus protein a. sds-page and western blot results indicated that the fused peptide was located partially on the cell surface. oral and nasal inoculation with the recom ... | 2013 | 23832344 |
a duplex sybr green i-based real-time rt-pcr assay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of massachusetts and non-massachusetts serotypes of infectious bronchitis virus. | infectious bronchitis is a highly contagious viral disease of poultry caused by infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and is considered one of the most economically important viral diseases of chickens. control of ibv has been attempted using live attenuated and inactivated vaccines. live attenuated vaccines of the massachusetts (mass.) serotype are the most commonly used for this purpose. due to the continuous emergence of new variants of the infectious bronchitis virus, the identification of the t ... | 2013 | 23810983 |
a cholesterol tag at the n terminus of the relatively broad-spectrum fusion inhibitory peptide targets an earlier stage of fusion glycoprotein activation and increases the peptide's antiviral potency in vivo. | in previous work, we designed peptides that showed potent inhibition of newcastle disease virus (ndv) and infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) infections in chicken embryos. in this study, we demonstrate that peptides modified with cholesterol or 3 u of polyethylene glycol (peg3) conjugated to the peptides' n termini showed even more promising antiviral activities when tested in animal models. both cholesterol- and cholesterol-peg3-tagged peptides were able to protect chicken embryos from infection ... | 2013 | 23804636 |
experimental study on histopathological changes and tissue tropism of iranian infectious bronchitis serotype 793/b-like virus in spf chickens. | avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is prevalent in all countries with intensive poultry flocks. this disease is characterised primarily by respiratory signs, but some ibv strains may also infect other organs such as the intestinal and urogenital tracts. the aim of this study was to characterise the histopathological lesions and tissue tropism of iranian isolate ir/773/2001(793/b) of avian infectious bronchitis virus in different organs of experimentally infected spf chickens. forty-two one- ... | 2013 | 23718717 |
the toxicological impacts of the fusarium mycotoxin, deoxynivalenol, in poultry flocks with special reference to immunotoxicity. | deoxynivalenol (don) is a common fusarium toxin in poultry feed. chickens are more resistant to the adverse impacts of deoxynivalenol (don) compared to other species. in general, the acute form of don mycotoxicosis rarely occurs in poultry flocks under normal conditions. however, if diets contain low levels of don (less than 5 mg don/kg diet), lower productivity, impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infectious diseases can occur. the molecular mechanism of action of don has not been co ... | 2013 | 23628787 |
regulation of macrophage and dendritic cell function by pathogens and through immunomodulation in the avian mucosa. | macrophages (mph) and dendritic cells (dc) are members of the mononuclear phagocyte system. in chickens, markers to distinguish mph from dc are lacking, but whether mph and dc can be distinguished in humans and mice is under debate, despite the availability of numerous markers. mucosal mph and dc are strategically located to ingest foreign antigens, suggesting they can rapidly respond to invading pathogens. this review addresses our current understanding of dc and mph function, the receptors exp ... | 2013 | 23542704 |
continuous evolution of avian infectious bronchitis virus resulting in different variants co-circulating in southern china. | sixty field strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were isolated from chicken flocks in different regions of guangxi from 1985 to 2012. phylogenetic analysis of s1 subunit glycoprotein genes revealed that field isolates from 2009-2011 mostly belonged to the lx4 type, while those from 1985-2008 belonged to the hn08 type, and a few others belonged to the 4/91 type, the tw type and the mass type. in addition, it is noteworthy that no obvious regional differences were found among these 6 ... | 2013 | 23474985 |
detection of infectious bronchitis virus serotypes by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in broiler chickens. | infectious bronchitis (ib) is a highly contagious disease of the respiratory and urogenital tract of chickens, caused by infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), a member of the family coronaviridae. the disease is common throughout the world where chickens are produced commercially. pcr on reverse transcribed rna is a potent technique for the detection of ibv. in comparison with classical detection methods, pcr-based techniques are both sensitive and fast. dozens of serotypes and genotypes of ibv hav ... | 2013 | 23450039 |
