RESUMEN
A study was performed to validate 3 FMDV 3ABC-I-ELISA kits developed in China for the differentiation of FMDV infected and vaccinated animals.Sets of sera from naive and vaccinated cattle as well as from cattle that had been infected were tested for antibodies against nonstructural proteins (NSPs) of FMDV by commercial diagnosis kits,Ceditest(R)FMDV-NS (Ceditest(R) kit),UBI(R) FMDV NONSTRUCTURAL PROTEIN ELISA DIRECTION INSERT (UBI(R) kit) and a FMDV 3ABC-I-ELISA kitdeveloped at the Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute.The test parameters (sensitivity and specificity) of the three kits were determined,and the result obtained from FMD 3ABC-I-ELISA kit was compared with that obtained from two foreign kits.The results indicated that the coincidence rate between the FMDV 3ABC-I-ELISA and Ceditest(R) kits was 98.05%,and the coincidence rate between the FMDV 3ABC-I-ELISA and UBI(R) kits was 94.4%; the sensitivity of both Ceditest(R) and FMDV 3ABC-I-ELISA kit was 100%.However,the sensitivity of the UBI(R) kit was only 81.8%.With sera from naive or vaccinated non-infected animals,the specificity of all tests exceeded 90%.
RESUMEN
The full-length genomic sequence of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) Asia1/YNBS/58 strain was determined by RT-PCR and compared with other 17 reference strains. The results showed that the complete genome of Asia1/YNBS/58 was 8164nt long including a 1061-nt 5' untranslated region (UTR), a 6990-nt open reading frame (ORF), and a 113-nt 3'UTR. The homology analysis indicated that the UTR regions and non-structural proteins were more conserved than the structural proteins in FMDV. VP1 exhibited the lowest conservation and VP4 was exceptionally conserved. The VP1-, VP2-, and VP3-based phylogenetic trees were divided into distinct clusters according to different serotypes, while the other gene-based phylogenetic trees exhibited some degree of intercross among serotypes. This study is the first description of the full-length genomic sequence of FMDV Chinese serotype Asia1.

Receptors play a crucial role in determining the pathogenesis and tissue tropism of virus. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) has been showed to use four integrins, alphavbeta1, alphavbeta3, alphavbeta6 and alphavbeta8 as receptors to initiate infection. In this study, the porcine integrin alphav gene was cloned by RT-PCR from the lung tissue of healed pig infected experimently with FMDV, and compared its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence with the av gene of other animals. The 3141bp cDNA of bovine integrin alphav encodes a polypeptide of 1046 amino acids consisting of a 30-residue putative signal peptide, a 955-residue ectodomain, a 29-residue transmembrane domain, and a 32-residue cytoplasmic domain. The ectodomain contains 11 potential N-linked glycosylation sites (NXT/NXS), 2 calcium binding domains (DX[D/N] XDGXXD) and 18 cysteine residues. The nucleotide sequence similarities of integrin alphav between pig and cattle, human, rheses monkey, house mouse, chicken, dog are 93.3%, 91.5%, 91.4%, 85.6%, 73.2% and 89.9% respectively; and the amino acid sequence similarities are 96.3%, 94.6%, 94.1%, 90.8%, 81.6% and 93.8%, respectively. The alphav gene of cattle and pig exhibited the highest sequence homology. It is possible that host tropism of FMDV may related to divergence in receptors among different species.

The complete gene encoding the structural protein of FMDV(VP1) was subcloned into expression vector pPROex-HT, resulting in the fusion expression plasmid pPROexHT-VP1. After transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) and induced by IPTG, the fusion protein was expressed in high level. Western blot was performed to confirm that the expressed fusion protein could specifically react with antiserum against FMDV. Based on the fusion protein further purified, a novel indirect ELISA (VP1-ELISA) was developed to detect FMDV antibody in pigs. Comparison between VPl-ELISA and the government standard kit (liquid phase block ELISA) showed the two methods had 96.25 percent agreement by detecting 80 serum samples, indicating that the indirect VP1-ELISA was specific and sensitive.

To make transcription of the target gene be driven by T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) in the eukaryotic cells, and the transcripts be CAP-independent translated. Firstly, the T7 RNAP was introduced into eukaryotic cells by two methods: (1) the BHK-21 cells were contransfected by the plasmid expressing T7 RNAP and pIERS-EGFP-ET vector; (2) by transfection of the cell line stably expressing T7 RNAP. The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element from FMDV was cloned into the downstream of the T7 promoter sequence of the prokaryotic expressing vector pET-40a-c (+), resulted in the plasmid would express the transcripts carrying the IERS element at its 5' end. The enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene was cloned into the downstream of the IERS element, resulted in plasmid pIERS-EGFP-ET. Then, the two kinds of cells expressing T7 RANP were transfected by pIERS-EGFP-ET. The green fluorescence in the transfected cells was observed under a fluorescence microscope equipped with a video documentation system. And the expressional efficiency was analyzed with flow cytometry (FCM). The results show that the IRES element from FMDV has the role of initiating CAP-independent translation, and lay foundation for researching function of the element and interrelated proteins. It would be potential for expressing target gene by the T7 RNAP couple expression system.

The secondary structure of Capsid protein was predicted by the methods of Chou-Fasman,Garnier-Robson and Karplus-Schultz based on the sepuence of capsid protein gene of Swine Vesicular Disease Virus (SVDV) and hydrophilicity. Surface probility plot and antigenic index for capsid protein were obtained by the methods of Kyte-Doolittle, Emini and Jameson-wolf, respectively, Combining the results according to these methods, the B cell epitopes for capsid protein of SVDV were predicted. The results showed that there are much flexible region such as coil region and turn region in capsid protein of SVDV, there are more predominant B cell epitopes in VP1 than in VP2 and VP3. This study would be helpful for identification of B cell epitopes for capsid protein using experimental methods and research of reverse vaccine of SVDV.

RESUMEN
In order to obtain the gene P12X3C of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) that includes full length P1, 2A, 3C and a part of 2B, the site mutation strategy was used. After being digested by Kpn I and Xba I respectively, the gene P12X3C was cloned into the pcDNA3.1 (+) expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was checked by restriction enzyme analysis and nucleic acid sequencing, and then named pcDNA3.1/P12X3C. Further, BHK-21 cells was transfected with pcDNA3.1/P12X3C by using lipoid. The proteins of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus, which were expressed in BHK-21 cells, were confirmed by sandwich-ELISA and fluoroscopy. The result shows the gene P12X3C is cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid, and the recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1/P12X3C could express proteins of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus in BHK-21 cells, which have immunocompetence. This study demonstrates that delivery of a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid containing P12X3C coding regions results in the assembly of FMDV capsid structures, which will offer experimental base to DNA vaccine of FMDV.
