【目的】确定经禽网状内皮增生病病毒(REV)细胞适应毒免疫的种鸡提供的母源抗体在雏鸡抗REV感染中的保护性免疫作用。【方法】分别对有母源抗体和无母源抗体的雏鸡人工感染REV野毒,比较它们的生长速度和对新城疫病毒(NDV)和禽流感病毒(AIV)灭活苗免疫后的抗体反应。【结果】在没有REV母源抗体的商品代肉鸡,1日龄感染REV不仅造成生长迟缓,还会显著抑制对NDV和AIV(H5和H9)疫苗的免疫反应。由致弱的REV疫苗免疫的父母代种鸡提供的母源抗体,不仅可预防REV野毒感染引起的生长迟缓,也可预防REV引起的对NDV和AIV灭活疫苗免疫反应的抑制作用。在1日龄攻毒REV后,有REV母源抗体组对所有三种灭活疫苗免疫后的抗体水平都显著高于无母源抗体组。免疫后4周,有母源抗体组和无母源抗体组对NDV、AIV-H9和AIV-H5的血凝抑制(HI)抗体滴度分别是3.36±2.04 vs 1.58±1.69(P<0.01),6.27±3.87 vs 0.71±1.60(P<0.01)和6.72±3.92 vs 0.54±1.44(P<0.01)。【结论】来自免疫种鸡的REV母源抗体不仅有效地预防雏鸡感染REV,而且有效地预防或减弱REV感染造成的生长迟缓及其对NDV和AIV灭活疫苗免疫后抗体反应的抑制作用。
To determine if the maternal antibody from breeders vaccinated with cell culture-adapted reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) could protect chicks from early REV infection, one-day-old chicks with or without anti-REV maternal antibodies were inoculated with REV, and then their growth rates and antibody titers to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian influenza virus (AIV), after vaccination with inactivated vaccines, were compared. This study indicated that REV infection could cause growth retardation and severely inhibit immune reactions to inactivated vaccines against NDV and Avian influenza virus (AIV, H9 and H5) in one-day-old broilers without maternal antibodies specific to REV. Maternal antibody from breeders vaccinated with an attenuated REV vaccine effectively protected REV-challenged birds from growth retardation and immunosuppression on antibody reactions to NDV and AIV vaccines. Four weeks after vaccination, the HI titers to NDV, AIV-H9, and AIV-H5 in maternal antibody positive and negative groups were 3.36 +- 2.04 versus 1.58± 1.69 (P〈0.01), 6.27±3.87 versus 0.71 ± 1.60 (P〈0.01), and 6.72±3.92 versus 0.54± 1.44 (P〈0.01). Maternal antibodies from breeders vaccinated with REV vaccine could successfully protect chicks from REV infection and effectively prevent REV-induced growth retardation and immunosuppression in antibody responses to NDV and AIV.
