Definitions
- This invention relates to Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV), more specifically to ISAV nucleic acid sequences and the peptides these nucleic acids encode. This invention also relates to the use of ISAV peptides in producing an immune response in fish.
- ISV Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus
- ISAN enveloped virus
- the virus has a single-stranded R ⁇ A genome consisting of 8 segments with negative polarity, and the structural, morphological, and physiochemical properties of the virus suggest that ISAN is related to members of the Orthomyxoviridae family (see, e.g., Falk, et al., J. Nirol. 71:9016-23 (1997)). ISA originally appeared in Norway in 1984 (Thorud and Djubvik, 1988). In 1996 and 1998, the disease was diagnosed on fish farms in Atlantic Canada and Scotland, respectively. Subsequent to the appearance of clinical disease in Canada, ISAN surveillance programs were instituted in New Brunswick. A central aspect of the Canadian ISAN management approach involves the depopulation of ISAN- infected cages that are found through participation in the surveillance protocols.
- killed virus formulations are prepared by growing virus in large amounts in cell culture or in the actual animal species, and either method is expensive. Furthermore, if the titer of the amplified virus is low, then achieving the appropriate antigenic dose within the final formulation requires the addition of more virus and raises the cost of production. Thus, a need remains for an effective ISAN vaccine.
- the nucleic acid molecule has a sequence at least 70% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, a nucleic acid sequence at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3, or a nucleic acid sequence at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 11, or a sequence consisting essentially of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3, or SEQ ID NO: 11.
- the nucleic acid molecule is operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid, such as an expression control sequence.
- the nucleic acid sequence is included in a vector.
- the nucleic acid molecule encodes an antigenic epitope capable of eliciting an immune response in the cell or fish, such as an immune response against ISAV.
- Particular fish and fish cells include (but are not limited to) rainbow trout, coho salmon, chinook salmon, amago salmon, chum salmon, sockeye salmon, Atlantic salmon, arctic char, brown trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout, catfish, tilapia, sea bream, seabass, flounder, or sturgeon.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the results of an efficacy trial of Atlantic salmon treated with whole killed ISAV and challenged with live ISAN.
- FIG. 2 is a digital image of the results of SDS-PAGE analysis of purified ISAN proteins.
- FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating the results of a humoral immune response to whole killed ISAN in Atlantic salmon.
- FIG. 4 is the amino acid sequence alignment of the R ⁇ A binding domain of ⁇ P from influenza virus A and B with the putative ⁇ P R ⁇ A binding domain from ISA virus. This alignment was predicted using the Clustal W system.
- FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating the titration of ISAN-specific antibodies from Atlantic salmon infected with ISAN.
- FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating the ISAN-specific antibodies in sera obtained from Atlantic salmon infected with ISAN or rainbow trout injected with a nucleic acid encoding an ISAN-specific protein.

- nucleic acid includes single or plural nucleic acids and is considered equivalent to the phrase “comprising at least one nucleic acid.”
- first nucleic acid or a second nucleic acid refers to the first nucleic acid, the second nucleic acid, or both the first and second nucleic acids.
- Amplification of a nucleic acid Any of several techniques that increases the number of copies of a nucleic acid molecule.
- An example of amplification is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in which a sample containing the nucleic acid is contacted with a pair of oligonucleotide primers under conditions that allow for the hybridization of the primers to nucleic acid in the sample.
- the primers are extended under suitable conditions, dissociated from the template, and then re-annealed, extended, and dissociated to amplify the number of copies of the nucleic acid.
- amplification products can be further processed, manipulated, or characterized by (without limitation) electrophoresis, restriction endonuclease digestion, hybridization, nucleic acid sequencing, ligation, or other techniques of molecular biology.
- Other examples of amplification include strand displacement amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,744,311 ; transcription-free isothermal amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,033,881; repair chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in WO 90/01069; ligase chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in European Patent Appl. 320 308; gap filling ligase chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,427,930; and NASBATM RNA transcription-free amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,025,134.
- Conservative amino-acid substitutions in a polypeptide include those listed in Table 1 below.
- Non-conservative substitutions are those that disrupt the secondary, tertiary, or quaternary conformation of a polypeptide. Such non-conservative substitutions can result from changes in: (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution; (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the polypeptide; or (c) the bulk of an amino acid side chain.
- substitutions generally expected to produce the greatest changes in polypeptide properties are those in which: (a) a hydrophilic residue is substituted for (or by) a hydrophobic residue; (b) a proline is substituted for (or by) any other residue; or (c) a residue having a bulky side chain, for example, phenylalanine, is substituted for (or by) one not having a side chain, for example, glycine.
- a residue having an electropositive side chain for example, lysyl, arginyl, or histadyl, is not substituted for (or by) an electronegative residue, for example, glutamyl or aspartyl. Analog or homolog.
- An analog is a molecule that differs in chemical structure from a parent compound.
- a homolog differs by an increment in the chemical structure (such as a difference in the length of a nucleic acid or amino acid chain), a molecular fragment, a structure that differs by one or more functional groups, or a change in ionization.
- Antigen A compound, composition, or substance that can stimulate the production of antibodies or a T-cell response in an animal, including compositions that are injected or absorbed into an animal.
- An antigen reacts with the products of specific humoral or cellular immunity, including those induced by heterologous immunogens.

Generally, the temperature of hybridization and the ionic strength (especially the Na + concentration) of the hybridization buffer will determine the stringency of hybridization. Calculations regarding hybridization conditions required for attaining particular degrees of stringency are discussed in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, 2001).
