Definitions
- Coronavirus, alphavirus, cryptosporidiosis, cochlasoma, hexamita, and reovirus have been considered as possible causes for SMT (Ficken et al., 1993), and other viral agents have been documented to produce milder enteritis in young turkey poults (Reynolds et al., 1987).
- PEMS Poult Enteritis and Mortality Syndrome
- PEMS/SMT Poult Enteritis and Mortality Syndrome/Spiking Mortality of Turkeys
- PEMS/SMT is infectious and transmissible, but the specific cause(s) remains unidentified. It is spread by contact with litter or feces and is carried by recovered turkeys. Diligent decontamination efforts and biosecurity have failed to eliminate or to limit the slow spread of PEMS/SMT from contaminated premises.
- Turkey enteric coronaviruses are one of the major causative agents of diarrhea in turkey poults (Dea et al., 1985; Dea et al., 1990b).
- a coronavirus was identified as the primary etiologic agent of Bluecomb Disease or Transmissible Enteritis of Turkeys (Naqi et al., 1975; Pensaert et al., 1994; Pomeroy, 1980).
- PEMS/SMT Transmissible Enteritis
- infected material e.g., feces or organ homogenates
- infected material was also clarified and passaged through cell culture.
- a coronavirus, turkey enteritis coronavirus (TCV) was identified as an infectious agent that was associated with SMT.
- TCV turkey enteritis coronavirus
- TCV-MN Antibody to the reference Minnesota strain of turkey coronavirus
- physiological samples e.g., tissues, blood sera or plasma, from an afflicted or exposed turkey or an organism suspected of being a carrier of TCV
- coronavirus e.g., tissue, blood sera or plasma
- viral-specific nucleic acid e.g., by an amplification reaction such as the polymerase chain reaction
- antibodies specific for a virally encoded polypeptide or antibodies specific for the coronavirus e.g., antibodies specific for a virally encoded polypeptide or antibodies specific for the coronavirus.
- the presence or amount of the virus, genomic viral nucleic acid, viral polypeptide or viral-specific antibodies in the sample can then be compared to a control sample, e.g., from a disease-free organism.
- the present invention provides isolated preparations or compositions comprising a cell culture adapted TCV isolate obtained from a turkey having SMT, or a multicellular organism exposed to a turkey having SMT.
- the preparations or compositions of the invention are substantially free from other infectious agents.
- substantially free means below the level of detection for a particular infectious agent using standard detection methods for that agent.

- Nucleic acid molecules encoding amino acid sequence variants of a coronavirus SI polypeptide can be prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, isolation from a natural source (in the case of naturally occurring amino acid sequence variants) or preparation by oligonucleotide-mediated (or site-directed) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared variant or a non- variant version of a coronavirus SI polypeptide.
- Oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis is a preferred method for preparing amino acid substitution variants of a coronavirus SI polypeptide.
- This technique is well known in the art as described by Adelman et al., DNA. 2, 183 (1983). Briefly, coronavirus SI -specific DNA is altered by hybridizing an oligonucleotide encoding the desired mutation to a DNA template, where the template is the single-stranded form of a plasmid or bacteriophage containing the unaltered or native DNA sequence of the SI polypeptide. After hybridization, a DNA polymerase is used to synthesize an entire second complementary strand of the template that will thus incorporate the oligonucleotide primer, and will code for the selected alteration in the coronavirus SI DNA.
- oligonucleotides of at least 25 nucleotides in length are used.
- An optimal oligonucleotide will have 12 to 15 nucleotides that are completely complementary to the template on either side of the nucleotide(s) coding for the mutation. This ensures that the oligonucleotide will hybridize properly to the single-stranded DNA template molecule.
- the oligonucleotides are readily synthesized using techniques known in the art such as that described by Crea et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.. 75, 5765 (1978).
- the DNA template can be generated by those vectors that are either derived from bacteriophage Ml 3 vectors (the commercially available Ml 3mpl 8 and M13mpl9 vectors are suitable), or those vectors that contain a single- stranded phage origin of replication as described by Viera et al., Meth. Enzymol.. 153. 3 (1987). Thus, the DNA that is to be mutated may be inserted into one of these vectors to generate single-stranded template. Production of the single- stranded template is described in Sections 4.21-4.41 of Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, N.Y. 1989).
- single-stranded DNA template may be generated by denaturing double-stranded plasmid (or other) DNA using standard techniques.
- the oligonucleotide is hybridized to the single- stranded template under suitable hybridization conditions.
- a DNA polymerizing enzyme usually the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I, is then added to synthesize the complementary strand of the template using the oligonucleotide as a primer for synthesis.
- a heteroduplex molecule is thus formed such that one strand of DNA encodes the mutated form of the coronavirus SI DNA, and the other strand (the original template) encodes the native, unaltered sequence of the coronavirus SI DNA.
- This heteroduplex molecule is then transformed into a suitable host cell, usually a prokaryote such as E. coli JM101. After the cells are grown, they are plated onto agarose plates and screened using the oligonucleotide primer radiolabeled with 32-phosphate to identify the bacterial colonies that contain the mutated DNA. The mutated region is then removed and placed in an appropriate vector for peptide or polypeptide production, generally an expression vector of the type typically employed for transformation of an appropriate host.
- the method described immediately above may be modified such that a homoduplex molecule is created wherein both strands of the plasmid contain the mutations(s).
- the modifications are as follows:
- the single-stranded oligonucleotide is annealed to the single-stranded template as described above.
- a mixture of three deoxyribonucleotides, deoxyriboadenosine (dATP), deoxyriboguanosine (dGTP), and deoxyribothymidine (dTTP) is combined with a modified thiodeoxyribocytosine called dCTP-(aS) (which can be obtained from the Amersham Corporation). This mixture is added to the template- oligonucleotide complex.
- this new strand of DNA will contain dCTP-(aS) instead of dCTP, which serves to protect it from restriction endonuclease digestion.
- the template strand of the double-stranded heteroduplex is nicked with an appropriate restriction enzyme
- the template strand can be digested with ⁇ xoIII nuclease or another appropriate nuclease past the region that contains the site(s) to be mutagenized.
- the reaction is then stopped to leave a molecule that is only partially single-stranded.
- a complete double-stranded DNA homoduplex is then formed using DNA polymerase in the presence of all four deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, ATP, and DNA ligase. This homoduplex molecule can then be transformed into a suitable host cell such as E coli JM101.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is an isolated and purified DNA molecule comprising a preselected DNA segment encoding a coronavirus SI polypeptide, the expression of which in turkeys is associated with SMT, such as a preselected DNA encoding SEQ ID NO:6, e.g., a DNA comprising SEQ ID NO:2, or a DNA having nucleotide substitutions which are "silent" (see Table 1). That is, when silent nucleotide substitutions are present in a codon, the same amino acid is encoded by the codon with the nucleotide substitution as is encoded by the codon without the substitution. For example, valine is encoded by the codon GTT, GTC, GTA and GTG.
- a variant of SEQ ID NO:2 at the fifteenth codon in a SI polypeptide includes the substitution of GTC, GTA or GTG for GTT.
- Other "silent" nucleotide substitutions in SEQ ID NO:2 which can encode polypeptide having SEQ ID NO: 6 can be ascertained by reference to Table 1 and page DI in Appendix D in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (1989), as well as Table 1 hereinbelow. Nucleotide substitutions can be introduced into DNA segments by methods well known to the art, some of which are described above. See, also, Sambrook et al., supra.
- nucleic acid molecules encoding other SI polypeptides may be modified in a similar manner.
- nucleic acid molecules encoding at least a portion of SEQ ID NOJ or SEQ ID NO:8, or the complement thereto may be modified so as to yield nucleic acid molecules of the invention having silent nucleotide substitutions, or to yield nucleic acid molecules having nucleotide substitutions that result in amino acid substitutions (see polypeptide or peptide variants hereinbelow).
- the recombinant or preselected nucleic acid sequence or segment may be circular or linear, double-stranded or single-stranded.
- a preselected DNA sequence which encodes an RNA sequence that is substantially complementary to a mRNA sequence encoding a coronavirus SI polypeptide is typically a "sense" DNA sequence cloned into a cassette in the opposite orientation (i.e., 3 ' to 5 ' rather than 5' to 3').
- the preselected nucleic acid sequence or segment is in the form of chimeric DNA, such as plasmid DNA, that can also contain coding regions flanked by control sequences which promote the expression of the preselected DNA present in the resultant cell line.
- chimeric means that a vector comprises DNA from at least two different species, or comprises DNA from the same species, which is linked or associated in a manner which does not occur in the "native" or wild type of the species.
- a portion of the preselected DNA may be untranscribed, serving a regulatory or a structural function.
- the preselected DNA may itself comprise a promoter that is active in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, or may utilize a promoter already present in the genome that is the transformation target.
- promoters in eukaryotes include the CMV promoter, as well as the SV40 late promoter and retroviral LTRs (long terminal repeat elements), although many other promoter elements well known to the art may be employed in the practice of the invention.
- elements functional in the host cells such as introns, enhancers, polyadenylation sequences and the like, may also be a part of the preselected DNA. Such elements may or may not be necessary for the function of the DNA, but may provide improved expression of the DNA by affecting transcription, stability of the mRNA, or the like. Such elements may be included in the DNA as desired to obtain the optimal performance of the transforming DNA in the cell.
- Control sequences is defined to mean DNA sequences necessary for the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism.
- the control sequences that are suitable for prokaryotic cells include a promoter, and optionally an operator sequence, and a ribosome binding site.
- Eukaryotic cells are known to utilize promoters, polyadenylation signals, and enhancers.
- "Operably linked” is defined to mean that the nucleic acids are placed in a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence.
- DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to DNA for a peptide or polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the peptide or polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation.
- "operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are contiguous and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accord with conventional practice.
- the preselected DNA to be introduced into the cells further will generally contain either a selectable marker gene or a reporter gene or both to facilitate identification and selection of transformed cells from the population of cells sought to be transformed.
- the selectable marker may be carried on a separate piece of DNA and used in a co-transformation procedure.
- Both selectable markers and reporter genes may be flanked with appropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in the host cells.
- Useful selectable markers are well known in the art and include, for example, antibiotic and herbicide-resistance genes, such as neo, hpt, dhfr, bar, aroA, dapA and the like. See also, the genes listed on Table 1 of Lundquist et al. (U.S. Patent No. 5,848,956).

- Physical methods to introduce a preselected DNA into a host cell include calcium phosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation, and the like.
- Biological methods to introduce the DNA of interest into a host cell include the use of DNA and RNA viral vectors.
- the main advantage of physical methods is that they are not associated with pathological or oncogenic processes of viruses. However, they are less precise, and can result in multiple copy insertions, random integration, disruption of foreign and endogenous gene sequences, and unpredictable expression.
- Viral vectors can be derived from poxviruses, herpes simplex virus I, retroviruses, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses, and the like.

- An additional 120 poults were administered 0.5 cc of the non- SMT organ homogenate and served as vehicle controls.
- Another 120 1 day-old poults were not gavaged, placed in identical isolation units, and served as negative controls.
- Ambient air temperature in the isolators was 30°C on days 1 to 2, 35°C on days 4 to 7, 32°C on days 8 to 14, and 30°C on days 14 to 21.

- Severe enteritis consistent with SMT is positively correlated statistically with enteric coronavirus infection, but not with other enteric virus infections (Goodwin et al., 1995).
- SMT has been experimentally reproduced (Brown et al., 1996b).
- the histologic lesions described hereinabove are identical to those produced by turkey enteric coronavirus infection (Dea et al., 1991 ; Gonder et al, 1976), rotaviral infection in turkeys (Yason et al., 1987), and enteritis secondary to exposure to turkey litter contaminated with rotavirus, cryptosporidium, and other infectious agents (Perry et al., 1991).
- the 70-140 nm particle in the small intestinal and bursal content of the naturally occurring and experimentally transmitted SMT cases is morphologically consistent with turkey enteric coronaviruses (Naqi et al., 1972; Dea et al, 1988; Dea et al., 1991; Ritchie et al, 1973).
- the 70-140 nm particle has been isolated and antigenically confirmed as a coronavirus by fluorescent antibody analysis (Garcia et al., 1996). Major outbreaks of coronaviral enteritis in turkeys have occurred previously in Minnesota (Patel et al., 1977) and Quebec (Dea et al., 1988).
- Coronavirus-containing organ homogenates were prepared as previously described (Example 1). Briefly, poults were experimentally inoculated with a coronavirus-containing SMT organ homogenate, killed, and samples of intestines, bursa, spleen, and thymus were collected aseptically, homogenized in a sterile blender with equal volumes of 4°C phosphate buffered saline, and divided into 7 equal aliquots.
- Poults in each treatment were administered 1 ml of one of the 7 aliquots of inocula by oral gavage. Poults in one treatment were not gavaged and served as negative controls.
- organ homogenates from infected poults were employed as inocula.
- the ability of these inocula to produce disease and induce coronaviral fecal shedding was resistant to pH 12, heating to 57 °C, lyophilization, and NaCl exposure.
- Treatment at pH 2 partially ameliorated mortality and negative effects on weight depression .and feed conversion to levels intermediate between the positive and negative controls.

In one method, clarified clinical specimens of UGA-APN and UGA-APG isolates and the reference Minnesota strain of TCV were inoculated (0.2-0.3 ml) into the amniotic cavity of 22 to 24 day old embryonated turkey eggs (Adams et al., 1970; Dea et al., 1985; Deshmukh et al., 1973; Pomeroy, 1980) obtained from a source known to be free from common pathogens of turkeys .and with no history of coronaviral enteritis. Negative control turkey embryos were similarly inoculated with deionized distilled water.
- Embryo intestines were harvested and homogenized in tryptose phosphate broth (TPB) (Dea et al., 1985). The homogenates were clarified by centrifugation at 5,000 x g for 10 minutes and by filtration using 0.45- ⁇ m filters. The resultant supernatants were used for subsequent embryo inoculations.
- TPB tryptose phosphate broth
- the other method employed to isolate and propagate viruses was the human rectal adenocarcinoma cell line HRT-18 (Dea et al., 1985), which was prepared in culture flasks and on Leighton coverslips (Dea et al., 1989e; Dea et al., 1985; Dea et al., 1989b; Dea et al., 1991).
- the HRT-18 cell line was propagated in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Atlanta Biologicals, Atlanta, GA), 50 ⁇ g of gentamicin/ml (Atlanta Biologicals, Atlanta, GA), and 10 U of bovine crystallized trypsin/ml (Sigma Chemical, St.
- Confluent monolayers were inoculated with the clarified UGA-APN and UGA-APG clinical specimens or with the reference Minnesota strain of TCV. Five to six days postinoculation (PI), the monolayers were frozen and collected (Pomeroy, 1980) for electron microscopy (EM) analysis, hemagglutination (HA) activity and indirect immunofluorescence (IF A). Non-inoculated HRT-18 monolayers were used as negative controls and were processed similarly.
- the samples were then centrifuged at 5,000 x g for 15 minutes (Lyerla et al., 1979).
- the pellets were placed in glass slides using sterile loops, air dried and fixed in cold acetone (-29°C) for 15 minutes, rinsed three times in PBS and air dried.
- the smears were processed for indirect staining using the hyperimmune rabbit anti-TCV serum (dilution 1 :5), and incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes, rinsed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and air dried.
- a fluorescein-conjugated mouse .anti-rabbit IgG Sigma Immunochemicals, St.
- Electron microscopy Specimens were processed in a similar fashion as mentioned above. Aliquots (0.5 ml) from clarified fecal specimens from poults with diarrhea and clarified infected-cell culture fluid were negatively stained with 2% sodium phosphotungstate (pH 7) for direct EM (Bozzola et al., 1991; Dea et al., 1989e; Dea et al., 1989d).
- Confluent cell monolayers in Leighton tubes were inoculated with 0.2 to 0.5 ml of clarified viral suspensions of the Minnesota TCV (MN-TCV), UGA- APN or UGA-APG isolates. After incubation for 30 minutes at 37°C, the cell cultures were given maintenance medium (with 3% FBS, Atlanta Biologicals, Atlanta, GA) containing 10 U of bovine crystallized trypsin/ml (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO). Leighton tubes were checked daily for CPE. The coverslips were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde for 2 hours and washed in TBS (0.2 M Tris-buffered saline, Sigma, St. Louis, MO).
- a second fixation was performed with 2% osmium tetroxide and then dehydrated in ethanol series of progressively increasing concentrations up to absolute ethanol, sectioned and stained with toluidine blue. Thick sections (1.0 ⁇ ) were checked for cellular morphology and CPE by light microscopy and affected monolayers were further processed.
- tissues were sectioned (600 A thick), mounted on 200-mesh formvar carbon-coated nickel grids and stained with methanolic uranyl acetate (5% uranyl acetate, Ernest F. Fullam, Inc., Lathan, NY) for one minute, jet washed in deionized water, post-stained in Reynolds lead citrate (2.66% lead citrate, Baker, Phillipsburg, NJ; 3.52% sodium citrate, Baker, Phillipsburg, NJ; and 0.64%) sodium hydroxide, Fisher Scientific, Norcross, GA) for eight minutes and washed in deionized water (Bozzola et al., 1991).
- the cell monolayers on the Leighton coverslips were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours PI.
- CPE induced by the TCV isolates was first apparent on the fourth or fifth passage.
- the first noticeable CPE in infected cell monolayers was the appearance of small, discrete syncytia and round, large, granular and refractile cells at 48 hours PI.
- syncytia cells were more frequent and contained up to four to five nuclei.
- there was detachment of the affected monolayer formation of syncytia cells containing up to six nuclei, and increased cytoplasmic granulation. Monolayers were not completely destroyed. All viral isolates produced similar CPE.
- the negative control monolayers did not exhibit CPE.
- Inoculated HRT-18 cell monolayers were mostly intact and in fair condition at 48 and 72 hours PI. In contrast, at 96 hours PI these monolayers were severely disrupted and cells were fragmented.
- Typical coronaviral particles were detected using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Viral particles were found from 48 hours to 96 hours PI. At 48 hours and 72 hours, the coronaviral particles were seen in a Golgi apparatus forming face or a smooth transitional region of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, previously characterized as a pre-Golgi compartment or vesicle (Avers, 1986; Holmes et al., 1995). Later, newly synthesized virions were also present in the lumina of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus (Holmes et al., 1995). Some particles were budding from the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Figure 7). These particles were moderately pleomorphic but mostly spherical in shape, enveloped, and approximately 60 to 200 nm in diameter ( Figure 8).
- TEM transmission electron microscopy
- Typical particles had a central electron lucent or dense matrix 60 to 70 nm in diameter, surrounded by a double-layered band 17 to 30 nm in thickness (Figure 9).
- the inner layer of this band consisted of darkly stained, knob-like long surface projections and a less obvious inner fringe of shorter surface projections (Dea et al., 1989e; Dea et al., 1989d; Dea et al., 1989c; Dea et al., 1990b; Holmes et al., 1995).
- the light, more evenly stained outer layer had no distinguishing features. Surface projections, particularly the shorter fringe, were difficult to appreciate in the thin section preparations.
- cytoplasmic vesicles were markedly enlarged, contained numerous coronaviral particles, and in many cases had ruptured onto the cellular surface. Discussion Previously, coronaviruses had been observed using electron microscopy in the feces of PEMS/SMT-infected turkeys, but propagation and isolation of these viruses had proven difficult. However, two PEMS/SMT-associated TCV strains were propagated in HRT-18 cells and in turkey-embryonated eggs. Evidence of viral replication in UGA-APN and UGA-APG TCV HRT-18 infected cells included the production of typical coronaviral particles as observed by electron microscopy, and the production of time-dependent increases in fluorescent staining for coronaviral antigens.
- coronaviral particles have two different types of surface projections
- mammalian hemagglutinating coronaviruses bovine coronavirus, porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus
- avian coronaviruses turkey enteric coronavirus
- IFA confirmed that the reference Minnesota TCV is related to these two coronaviruses.
- the strong positive reaction observed in the UGA-APN and UGA-APG TCV-infected cells and the absence of labeling in the negative controls confirms that the viruses that replicated in the HRT-18 cells shared antigenic determinants with the reference Minnesota strain.
- Chickens were inoculated twice intramuscularly (0.5 cc in breast and 0.5 cc in thigh at 22 and 23 weeks of age) with killed UGA-APN (exposed to 0.01 % formaldehyde for 24 hours on a stir plate). Serum from these hyperimmunized chickens (collected at 24 weeks of age) neutralized UGA-APN.
- Turkeys were inoculated three times intramuscularly (0.5 cc in the breast at 6, 7, and 8 weeks of age) with killed UGA-APN (exposed to 0.01% formaldehyde for 24 hours on a stir plate). Serum from these turkeys neutralized UGA-APN (endpoint of 8-1024). Serum from turkeys inoculated subcutaneously (i.e., in the neck at 11 and 12 weeks of age) had a virus neutralization endpoint of ⁇ 2-16.
- Hygromycin B (5 mM in low pH media) had no TCV neutralizing activity in vitro.
- TCV UGA-APN isolate of turkey intestinal coronavirus grown in HRT-18 cells. Mortality in all groups was less than 6%.
- TCV UGA-APN isolate of turkey intestinal coronavirus grown in HRT-18 cells.
- bovine-origin intestinal coronaviruses (Nebraska BCV, and bovine-origin TCV "A” , i.e., TCV-BOA, and "B", i.e., TCV-BOB) were inoculated orally (1 cc of 10 6 TCID 50 /ml) into 1 day-old turkey poults and backpassed ten times. For each passage, effects on clinical signs, body weight (Table 8), feed conversion (Table 9) and pathologic changes were determined. Three to five days postinoculation, the inoculated birds were depressed, dehydrated and many had a moderate to severe diarrhea, but had no significant gross lesions. Poor body weight gain and feed conversion was noted in inoculated turkeys.
- Gross pathology included emaciation and diarrhea, small intestinal dilatation, distension of the ceca, mild bursal atrophy and mild thymic atrophy. Histopathological examination of thymus, bursa of Fabricius, small and large intestine revealed moderate to severe bursa atrophy and villus atrophy of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Moderate lymphocytic enteritis and moderate to severe atrophy of cortex and medulla of the thymus was also observed. Marked differences were found in the body weight .and feed conversion between control and inoculated birds.
- HRT- 18 cells were grown in MEM with 10% FBS, 5%> C0 2 at 37°C, and seeded in plates or flasks at a concentration of 8.12 x l0 5 cells/ml.
- Neutralization assay The neutralization assay was performed essentially as described above (Example 4).
- TCV isolates were titrated by serial dilution of virus in HRT-18 cells to endpoints as visualized by cytopathic effect (cpe).
- a virus neutralization (VN) assay was employed to determine the neutralizing titer of sera taken from infected turkeys, vaccinated turkeys, and suspected carriers of TCV.
- VN virus neutralization
- virus neutralization assay described above detected virus neutralizing antibodies to the homologous TCV. Moreover, while anti-BCV antibodies neutralized TCV, there was little cross-reactivity of TCV isolates with IBV antibodies.
- Example 7 Sequence comparison of the SI gene of turkey enteric coronavirus with bovine enteric coronavirus and avian and mammalian coronaviruses
- Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses and the envelope contains the viral glycoproteins M, S ("spike protein"), and HE.
- the spike protein (“SI”) binds to a specific host cell receptor and may induce fusion of viral envelope with the cell membrane.
- Neutralizing antibodies are produced against S 1.
- coronaviruses there is diversity in nucleotide sequence and molecular mass of SI.
- there are several hypervariable regions in SI which include deletions and insertions.
- RNA isolation was performed essentially according to Stern and Kennedy (1980) using the Rnaid Kit (BIO 101, Inc., Vista, CA).
- Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) was used in a reverse transcriptase reaction (1 hour at 37°C) to obtain single-stranded cDNA from TCV RNAs using protocols such as those described in Sambrook et al. (1989).
- a primer pair (e.g., SEQ ID NO:9 and SEQ ID NO: 10 or SEQ ID NO.l 1 and SEQ ID NO: 12), Taq DNA polymerase (5 ⁇ l/reaction), and PCR buffer (Promega Corp., Madison, WI; 50 mm KCl, 10 mM Tris HCl, pH 9.0 at 25°C), 0.1% Triton X-100 and 3 mm MgCl 2 ) were then added to individual samples. The mixture was then subjected to 30 cycles at 95 °C for 1 minute, 50 °C for 2 minutes, and 72 °C for 3 minutes.
- the PCR products were separated by gel electrophoresis on 1% agarose gels, stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light.
- the primer pair SEQ ID NO:9 and SEQ ID NO: 10 yielded a PCR product of 717 bp while SEQ ID NO:l 1 and SEQ ID NO: 12 yielded a PCR product of 1070 bp.
- the amplified products were sequenced using an automated sequencer.
- the SI nucleotide sequence and corresponding amino acid sequence of the amplified SI genes were compared to other avian, bovine and mammalian coronavirus SI sequences using Dnasis ( Figure 11).
- the TCV SI gene is about 700 bases longer than the avian IBV SI gene.
- Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence reveals a 98% similarity with most of the BCV isolates analyzed, and ⁇ 20% similarity with avian bronchitis isolates ( Figures 9 and 10). Sequence analysis indicated that UGA-APBOA and UGA-APG are the same virus. References
