    Abstract Animal circoviruses belong to the Circovirus genus of the Circoviridae family. Nowadays, only swine and birds were identified as circovirus hosts. Circoviruses have a single-stranded circular genome of approximately 2000 nucleotide long. DNA of these viruses possesses : (i) a nonanucleotide sequence essential for replication, flanked by inverted repeat sequences, a palindrome that has the potential to form a stem-loop structure and (ii) two major ORFs, located on the viral and complementary strands, which encode respectively the replication-associated protein (Rep) and the capsid protein (Cap). All the circoviruses described at the present time, except porcine circovirus of type 1, are associated with immunosuppressive or immunodepressive diseases. Histopathological lesions such as cytoplasmic inclusions of virus in histiocytic cells and T and B lymphocyte depletion in lymphoid organs, are commonly noticed. No medical prophylaxis of circovirus infections is currently available.

    Abstract Downstream from the ptsHI operon of Lactobacillus sakei, the genes atkY and atkB, organized in an operon, were observed. The two putative proteins, AtkB and AtkY, show sequence similarity to the Enterococcus hirae copper P-type ATPase, responsible for copper efflux, and its negative regulator. Characterization of AtkB as a copper P-type ATPase could not be demonstrated since an atkB mutant did not show any phenotype. Thus, another strategy was followed in order to investigate the transcriptional regulation of the atkYB locus, leading to the development of new genetic tools for L. sakei. A plasmid was constructed, the use of which allowed gene replacement at the lacLM locus in L. sakei by two successive crossovers. A strain deleted of the lacLM operon encoding the beta-galactosidase of L. sakei was constructed by this method, and the Escherichia coli lacZ gene could then be used as a reporter gene to investigate the regulation of atkYB. Results show that the atkYB operon is induced by small concentrations of CuSO(4) (30 to 40 microM) but not when CuSO(4) is omitted or added at higher concentrations.

    Abstract We have evaluated the ability of recombinant E2 antigen, as a surfactant free formulation of poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres, to elicit a systemic immune response after administration by mucosal routes (oral and nasal) in comparison to intramuscular route. The sequence encoding a truncated E2 glycoprotein of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was expressed in insect cells following infection with recombinant baculovirus, as a His-tagged recombinant antigen. The recombinant E2 glycoprotein (rE2) antigen was co-encapsulated with rabbit serum albumin (RSA) as a protein stabilizer. rE2/RSA loaded PLGA microspheres, with a mean diameter of 4 microm were obtained by a water in oil in water solvent extraction method (w/o/w). Rabbits were immunized with 10 microg of rE2 formulated in PLGA microspheres administrated by three different routes (oral, nasal and intramuscular). After 60 days, each rabbit in all three groups was challenge with 5 microg of rE2 glycoprotein solution by intradermal administration. Blood samples were collected weekly for 90 days and specific rE2 antigen antibodies measured. This work showed that rE2 antigen loaded microspheres was able to initiate an immune response. The intradermal challenge after nasal and oral administration had a clear boost effect on the systemic immune response. Moreover, the response after nasal administration was more intense and less variable than oral route. In conclusion, these data demonstrate a high potential of rE2 loaded PLGA microspheres for their use as a mucosal subunit vaccine.

    Abstract Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is a recently emerged disease affecting pigs. Type 2 porcine circovirus (PCV2) has been associated with this syndrome although other factors are required in association with this virus for PMWS expression. The aim of this study was to investigate whether general immunostimulation (injections of keyhole limpet hemocyanin emulsified in incomplete Freund adjuvant and of thioglycollate medium) could strengthen the severity of PMWS in six-week-old specific-pathogen-free (SPF) piglets transfected with pure tandem-cloned PCV2 DNA by the intramuscular route. Non-immunostimulated piglets transfected with the viral clone did not present clinical signs but only mild pathological microlesions characteristic of PMWS. These piglets seroconverted and high viral genome loads and infectious titers were detected in the lymphoid organs at the end of the trial. Mild-to-moderate forms of PMWS were generally observed in the immunostimulated transfected piglets, as well as one severe form for a piglet (8003) which died. These piglets with mild-to-moderate forms had higher DNA loads than the transfected-only animals. Thus, viral replication was enhanced by immunostimulation. This is the first time that clinical PMWS has been reported in an SPF immunostimulated piglet infected with a pure inoculum consisting of tandem-cloned PCV2 DNA. This result confirms that PCV2 is the agent of PMWS and that immunostimulation could enhance PMWS in SPF piglets transfected with a PCV2 DNA clone.

    Abstract Post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is a complex disease syndrome in swine, affecting nursery and fattening pigs. Although ongoing evidence suggests that porcine circovirus type-2 (PCV2) is the causal agent of PMWS, the host immune system appears to have a crucial role in the PMWS pathogenesis of PCV2-affected pigs. Owing to difficulties in producing a biologically pure form of PCV2 devoid of the other viral agents commonly present in swine tissues, we decided to use a tandem-cloned PCV2 DNA providing highly pure grade reagent in order to monitor the virulence of PCV2 alone or with an immunostimulating co-factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). A single intramuscular injection of tandem-cloned PCV2 DNA into 5-week-old piglets produced plasmid to viral genome progeny and infectious particles as early as 8 days post-injection in all the organs tested (the lung, the tonsil and the inguinal, mesenteric, bronchial and upper-right axial lymph nodes). The initial plasmid load was not detected with the help of primers designed to specifically detect the acceptor plasmid, thus confirming the replication of the viral genome. Despite the presence of a high level of PCV2 genome copies in the lymphoid organs--the tonsil and the lung--and the presence of infectious particles, no detectable clinical manifestations or pathological lesions were observed in the transfected pigs over the period of observation, regardless of whether they had been co-injected with plasmid containing GM-CSF DNA or had received plasmid containing PCV2 DNA alone. GM-CSF encoding DNA injection had no significant effect on viral replication or on the production of viral particles and appearance of the disease.

    Abstract This study compared protection of pigs against lethal Pseudorabies virus (PrV) infection induced by a single injection of various quantities of Sindbis virus-derived plasmids encoding PrV glycoproteins gB, gC and gD. Pigs were injected with 340, 68 or 13 microg of each plasmid. Few immune differences were observed after DNA injection and more importantly the pigs of the three groups were equally protected against virulent PrV infection. Single-shot injection of 13 microg of each PrV glycoprotein encoding Sindbis virus-derived plasmid is able to effectively protect pigs from PrV infection.
