    Objective To investigate the replication kinetics of standard strain of mammalian reovirus type 3(Reovirus3)in various cells and its antitumor activity in vitro. Methods Reovirus 3 at low concentrations were inoculated to VeroE6,MRC-5 and MDBK cells for three blind passages,observed for CPE daily and determined for replication by direct IFA.Melanoma cells and MDBK cells were placed in a vessel for virus challenge,and observed for CPE daily. Results Obvious CPE was observed in MDBK cells 72 h after inoculation with Reovirus 3 at a low concentration,while no CPE in MRC-5 cells and only slight CPE in Vero-E6 cells,after three blind passages. Reovirus 3 was subcultured stably in MDBK cells. No virus was detected in MRC-5 cells after three blind passages. However,the virus was detected in VeroE6 cells after two blind passages,of which the fluorescence intensity was low. Melanoma cells were broken and died in a large quantity 30 h after inoculation with Reovirus 3,while local CPE in MDBK cells,and the pathogenic area was expanded. Conclusion MDBK cells were optimal for the culture of reovirus. However,the virus might be propagated in Vero-E6 cells,of which the replication kinetics were weak than that in MDBK cells. MRC-5 cells were unsuitable for culture of reovirus. Reovirus selectively killed cancer cells in vitro,of which the in vivo antitumor activity should be further studied in animal model because of more complicated immune system.

    PANG Hong;WANG Chen;JIANG Yan;SHI Wei;Changning District of Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention;

    Objective To analyze the incidence of breakthrough varicella(BV)and the effectiveness of various doses and kinds of varicella vaccine. Methods The duration of outbreak in a primary school in Shanghai was from October 2011 to January 2012. Medical record of cases as well as vaccination status and history of varicella of all the students in the school were collected,based on which vaccine effectiveness(VE) and incidence were calculated. Results A total of 29 cases were observed in 444 children included in the analysis,indicating an incidence of 6. 5%. The varicella vaccination coverage was 90. 8%. The attack rate of vaccinated children was lower than those unvaccinated(χ2 = 8. 222,P < 0. 05).Overall VE was 68. 0%[95% confidence interval(CI):55. 2% ~ 80. 9%]. The incidence rate of BV of children immunized with one dose of vaccine was 6. 7%,while the VE was 60. 8%(95% CI:45. 1% ~ 76. 6%). However,the incidence rate of BV and VE of children immunized with two doses of vaccine were 0 and 100% respectively. The incidence rate of BV of children immunized with two doses of vaccine was significantly lower than that with one dose(χ2 = 1. 701,P > 0. 05).Conclusion High vaccination coverage with a single dose of varicella vaccine is insufficient to prevent the outbreak in schools. However,two doses of varicella vaccine may be successful to decrease the BV. A second dose of varicella vaccine in children is recommended before entering primary school.

    Objective To develop a Luminex-based multiplex immunofluorescence assay for rapid determination of serum antibody titer induced by multi-component pertussis vaccine. Methods Pertussis toxin(PT),filamentous haemagglutinin(FHA),pertactin(PRN),fimbriae-2 and-3(FIM 2,3)were conjugated to four kinds of micro-beads. The four antigens coupled microspheres were added into the same well and incubated with the serum sample to be tested, followed by addition of a biotin-labeled antibody and streptomycin labeled phycoerythrin, then antibody titers were calculated using the median fluorescence value(MFI)provided by the Luminex instrument, based on a standard curve by using standard serum against pertussis. The same set of serum samples were also analyzed by ELISA and the results obtained by the two methods were compared. Results Compared with that of ELISA method,the linear range of Luminex-based immunoassay was wide. Fifty serum samples from mice immunized with multi-component pertussis vaccine were analyzed by both Luminex-based immunoassay and ELISA. The result showed that the mean antibody titers by Luminex-based immunoassay were 65. 365 IU / ml for PT,15. 052 IU / ml for FIM,545. 236 IU / ml for FHA and 7. 876 IU / ml for PRN,while those by ELISA were 72. 640 IU / ml for PT,16. 480 IU / ml for FIM,589. 474 IU / ml for FHA and 7. 345 IU / ml for PRN,respectively,which showed good correlations,with R2 values of 0. 91,0. 98,0. 93 and 0. 99 for PT,FIM,FHA and PRN respectively. Conclusion Luminex-based immunoassay is an attractive alternative to ELISA in the determination of antibody titer induced by multi-component pertussis vaccine,which was sample-,cost- and time-saving,and more accurate for analysis of correlation of various target molecules.

  • Relationship between neutralizing antibody and cellular immunity in effect evaluation of viral vaccines

    ZHANG Zhi-xiao;ZHENG Ying;LI Qi-han;FAN Quan-shui;Center for Disease Control and Prevention,Chengdu Military Region;

    Neutralizing antibody and cellular immunity are two important aspects of the effect evaluation of viral vaccines.However,because of the differences in the vaccine category and the induction mechanisms of neutralizing antibody and cellular immunity to the viruses,uniform criterion has not been established to evaluate the effect of the viral vaccines.Thus,it is important to develop and assess the viral vaccines to establish effective standards and assays for the determination of neutralizing antibody and cellular immunity to various viruses.

    JIANG Gui-xiang;ZHANG Wei;HONG Hao-wu;LV Ying-nian;Guangdong Shuanglin Bio-pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.,The Engineering Center of Blood Products in Guangdong;

    Human coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)is a glycoprotein with the function of clotting in the blood,which serves as a co-factor for factor IXa(FIXa)in the activation of factor X(FX)to factor Xa(FXa)during the complex blood clotting cascade. FⅧ is unstable whether in vitro or in vivo because of its complex structure. This article reviews the stability of FⅧ in the whole manufacture progress including collection of material plasma,purification,package,storage and clinic infusion.
