RESUMO

Reports of yellow nail syndrome have been few and far between. The classical triad of the syndrome has not been reported in Indian literature. We report a case of yellow nail syndrome in a forty-year-old male, who had yellowish-brown nails from birth. He developed lymphoedema of the legs at the age of twenty years and presented with pleural effusion at the age of forty years. Although a case of yellow nail syndrome has been reported from India, the classical triad of the syndrome is yet to be documented from our country. The condition may be missed because of the long time difference in presentation of different components of the syndrome and also because of the dark skin colour of Indians.

RESUMO

The 'gold standard' vaccine against Marek's disease in poultry is the CVI988/Rispens virus, which is not easily distinguishable, antigenically or genetically, from virulent Marek's disease herpesvirus. Accurate differential measurement of the CVI988 vaccine and virulent viruses is important to investigate mechanisms of vaccinal protection. Minimal sequence differences between CVI988 and virulent MDV strains restrict the application of molecular diagnostic methods such as real-time PCR to distinguish between these viruses. The use of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC) cloned CVI988 virus, which carries the BAC vector sequences in place of the U(s)2 gene, allows its differential quantification from virulent strains using real-time PCR assays that target the BAC vector sequence and the U(S)2 gene respectively. These novel assays allowed investigation of replication of both serotype-1 vaccine virus (cloned CVI988) and challenge virus (RB-1B strain) in tissues of individual chickens in an experimental vaccination-challenge model of Marek's disease.

RESUMO

A widely used vaccine against Marek's disease (MD) in poultry is the virus SB-1, which is antigenically-related to the causative agent, Marek's disease herpesvirus. We recently cloned the SB-1 genome as an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome, BAC, (pSB-1). The protective efficacies and replication kinetics of pSB-1 and the parent strain (SB-1) were compared in an experimental model of MD induced by a virulent strain, RB-1B. Although vaccine virus replication and shedding was lower for pSB-1 than for SB-1, both vaccines reduced replication and shedding of RB-1B, and were equally effective in protecting chickens against MD. With the cloning of pSB-1, we have now generated full length genomic clones of MD vaccine virus strains belonging to each of the three serotypes. Vaccine viruses derived from each of these clones demonstrated protective efficacies at levels similar to those produced by the respective parent viruses, demonstrating their suitability to be used as vaccine candidates.

RESUMO

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Marek's disease virus (MDV)-specific antibodies was developed. Chicken embryo cells (CEC) or chicken kidney cells (CKC) were infected with MDV vaccine strain CVI988/Rispens, and infected-cell lysates were prepared at day 5 post-infection by freeze-thawing. Uninfected-cell lysates served as negative controls. Sera were used at a 1 : 100 dilution and were added in parallel to wells containing the infected and uninfected cell lysates. The optical densities at 492 nm (OD(492 nm)) were measured after detection of bound chicken antibodies with anti-chicken IgG peroxidase conjugate and colour reactions using o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as a substrate. The best results concerning the signal-to-noise ratio were obtained by using CKC cells rather than CEC for antigen preparation. The OD(492 nm) of plasma or serum samples with infected CKC was <0.02 when samples of unvaccinated and unchallenged maternal antibody-negative white leghorn chickens were tested. Sera and plasma samples of positive control birds exhibited OD(492 nm) of <0.01 when tested with uninfected CKC. The assay was used to monitor a trial that compared experimental BAC DNA vaccines and a commercial vaccine. Sustained seroconversion and antibody titers that were constantly rising until day 84 after vaccination (71 days after challenge) was observed only when chickens did not develop Marek's disease. In contrast, chickens developing the disease mounted marginal and short-lived antibody titers only. We conclude that the developed ELISA may be a valuable tool for the evaluation of the efficacy of MDV vaccination under experimental but possibly also under field conditions.
