摘要
为掌握华东地区H9亚型禽流感病毒(avian influenza virus, AIV)的流行情况及变异程度,采集临床疑似病料和活禽交易市场家禽的棉拭子样品,通过鸡胚接种、HA和HI试验及RT-PCR等方法分离鉴定H9 AIV,对其中部分毒株进行测序和序列分析,筛选4个代表毒株免疫SPF鸡制备抗血清,利用交叉血凝抑制试验测定抗原差异性。结果如下:共分离鉴定出62株H9亚型禽流感病毒,分离率为2.02%(62/3 074)。对25株H9亚型禽流感病毒株序列分析发现,分离株属于h9.4.2.5谱系,并进一步细分为A和B亚系。HA基因裂解位点氨基酸为PSRSSR↓G,符合低致病性禽流感病毒的特征。与Y280代表株HA基因的推导氨基酸相比,分离株受体结合位点左侧臂全部变为NGLMGR。在抗原位点92位氨基酸出现R(64%)/K(36%)的变化。交叉血凝抑制试验结果表明分离株间的HI抗体滴度相差2~8 log2,可分为2类抗原型。因此,目前流行的H9亚型AIV发生了抗原变异,至少同时存在两种抗原型。
This experiment was conducted to understand the prevalence and variation of H9 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV) isolated in East China. Diseased samples from clinical suspected cases and swab samples from poultry in live poultry markets were collected and subjected to inoculate SPF chicken embryos. H9 AIVs were identified by HA and HI test. HA genes of partial H9 AIVs were amplified by RT-PCR, and PCR productions were subjected to sequence. Antisera from SPF chickens vaccinated with four selected strains were performed cross-reactivity by HI test to analyze the antigen variation. Results were as follows: 62 isolates of H9 subtype AIV were identified, and the isolation rate was 2.02%(62/3 074). Sequence analysis of 25 H9 subtype AIVs revealed that the HA genes were belonged to the h9.4.2.5 lineage, and further were divided into Group A and Group B. The amino acid at the HA gene cleavage site was PSRSSR↓G, which is consistent with the characteristics of low pathogenic avian influenza virus. Compared with the amino acid of the HA gene of the Y280-like strain, the left arm of the receptor binding site(RBS) was changed to NGLMGR. There was a change of R(64%)/K(36%) at antigenic residue 92. The cross-reactivity of antisera showed that the HI antibody titers were differed by 2-8 log2 between the isolates and the isolates could be categorized to two antigenic phenotypes. Therefore, antigen drift is appeared in the prevalent H9N2 AIVs, and at least two antigenic phenotypes are existed simultaneously.
