High antigenic diversity of serotype 1 infectious bursal disease virus revealed by antigenic cartography. Virus Res 2023; 323:198999.

Abstract
The antigenic characterization of IBDV, a virus that causes an immunosuppressive disease in young chickens, has been historically addressed using cross virus neutralization (VN) assay and antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent (AC-ELISA). However, VN assay has been usually carried out either in specific antibody negative embryonated eggs, for non-cell culture adapted strains, which is tedious, or on chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF), which requires virus adaptation to cell culture. AC-ELISA has provided crucial information about IBDV antigenicity, but this information is limited to the epitopes included in the tested panel with a lack of information of overall antigenic view. The present work aimed at overcoming those technical limitations and providing an extensive antigenic landscape based on original cross VN assays employing primary chicken B cells, where no previous IBDV adaptation is required. Sixteen serotype 1 IBDV viruses, comprising both reference strains and documented antigenic variants were tested against eleven chicken post-infectious sera. The VN data were analysed by antigenic cartography, a method which enables reliable high-resolution quantitative and visual interpretation of large binding assay datasets. The resulting antigenic cartography revealed i) the existence of several antigenic clusters of IBDV, ii) high antigenic relatedness between some genetically unrelated viruses, iii) a highly variable contribution to global antigenicity of previously identified individual epitopes and iv) broad reactivity of chicken sera raised against antigenic variants. This study provides an overall view of IBDV antigenic diversity. Implementing this approach will be instrumental to follow the evolution of IBDV antigenicity and control the disease.

Abstract
After the severe outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in South Korea in 2010, the Korean government implemented a vaccination policy and set out to develop an FMD vaccine using a local FMD virus (FMDV) strain. As a part of the basic research for domestic FMD vaccine development, three methods commonly used for the concentration and purification of FMDV to produce FMD vaccine antigens were compared. Among common concentration methods, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and ultrafiltration, the most effective method both for concentrating 146S particles and eliminating non-structural proteins (NSPs) was found to be PEG precipitation. Classical PEG precipitation showed the highest recovery of 146S particles (85.4%) with removing 99.8% of the other proteins, including NSPs. To the author's knowledge, this is the first study to compare the current three methods with regard to quantifying intact virus particles (146S). These findings may provide important insights for the development of new FMD vaccines using a local FMDV strain in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has severe implications for animal farming which leads to considerable financial losses because of its rapid spread, high morbidity and loss of productivity. For these reasons, the use of vaccine is often favoured to prevent and control FMD. Selection of the proper vaccine is extremely difficult because of the antigenic variation within FMDV serotypes. The aim of the current study was to produce a panel of mAbs and use it for the characterization of new isolates of FMDV serotype O. RESULTS A panel of FMDV/O specific mAb was produced. The generated mAbs were then characterized using the peptide array and mAb resistant mutant selection. Seven out of the nine mAbs reacted with five known antigenic sites, thus the other two mAbs against non-neutralizing sites were identified. The mAbs were then evaluated by antigenic ELISA for the detection of forty-six FMDV serotype O isolates representing seven of ten known topotypes. Isolates ECU/4/10 and HKN/2/11 demonstrated the highest antigenic variation compared to the others. Furthermore, the panel of mAbs was used in vaccine matching by antigenic profiling ELISA with O1/Manisa as the reference strain. However, there was no correlation between vaccine matching by antigenic ELISA and the gold standard method, virus neutralisation test (VNT), for the forty-six FMDV/O isolates. Nine isolates had particularly poor correlation with the reference vaccine strain as revealed by the low r1 values in VNT. The amino acid sequences of the outer capsid proteins for these nine isolates were analyzed and compared with the vaccine strain O1/Manisa. The isolate ECU/4/10 displayed three unique amino acid substitutions around the antigenic sites 1, 3 and 4. CONCLUSIONS The panel of mAbs is useful to monitor the emergence of antigenically different strains and determination of relevant antigenic site differences. However, for vaccine matching VNT remains the preferred method but a combination of VNT, antigenic profiling with a panel of mAbs and genetic sequencing would probably be more ideal for full characterization of any new outbreak isolates as well as for selection of vaccine strains from FMDV antigen banks.

Abstract
The current measures to control foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) include vaccination, movement control and slaughter of infected or susceptible animals. One of the difficulties in controlling FMD by vaccination arises due to the substantial diversity found among the seven serotypes of FMD virus (FMDV) and the strains within these serotypes. Therefore, vaccination using a single vaccine strain may not fully cross-protect against all strains within that serotype, and therefore selection of appropriate vaccines requires serological comparison of the field virus and potential vaccine viruses using relationship coefficients (r1 values). Limitations of this approach are that antigenic relationships among field viruses are not addressed, as comparisons are only with potential vaccine virus. Furthermore, inherent variation among vaccine sera may impair reproducibility of one-way relationship scores. Here, we used antigenic cartography to quantify and visualize the antigenic relationships among FMD serotype A viruses, aiming to improve the understanding of FMDV antigenic evolution and the scope and reliability of vaccine matching. Our results suggest that predicting antigenic difference using genetic sequence alone or by geographical location is not currently reliable. We found co-circulating lineages in one region that were genetically similar but antigenically distinct. Nevertheless, by comparing antigenic distances measured from the antigenic maps with the full capsid (P1) sequence, we identified a specific amino acid substitution associated with an antigenic mismatch among field viruses and a commonly used prototype vaccine strain, A22/IRQ/24/64.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease which affects both domestic and wild biungulate species. This acute disease, caused by the FMD virus (FMDV), usually includes an active replication phase in the respiratory tract for up to 72 h postinfection, followed by hematogenous dissemination and vesicular lesions at oral and foot epithelia. The role of the early local adaptive immunity of the host in the outcome of the infection is not well understood. Here we report the kinetics of appearance of FMDV-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) in lymphoid organs along the respiratory tract and the spleen in cattle infected by aerosol exposure. While no responses were observed for up to 3 days postinfection (dpi), all animals developed FMDV-ASC in all the lymphoid organs studied at 4 dpi. Tracheobronchial lymph nodes were the most reactive organs at this time, and IgM was the predominant isotype, followed by IgG1. Numbers of FMDV-ASC were further augmented at 5 and 6 dpi, with an increasing prevalence in upper respiratory organs. Systemic antibody responses were slightly delayed compared with the local reaction. Also, IgM was the dominant isotype in serum at 5 dpi, coinciding with a sharp decrease of viral RNA detection in peripheral blood. These results indicate that following aerogenous administration, cattle develop a rapid and vigorous genuine local antibody response throughout the respiratory tract. Time course and isotype profiles indicate the presence of an efficient T cell-independent antibody response which drives the IgM-mediated virus clearance in cattle infected by FMDV aerosol exposure.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus exists as seven serotypes within which are numerous variants necessitating careful selection of vaccine strains. Currently, a serological assay system based on the use of polyclonal vaccine antisera is widely used for this selection. However, inherent variability in the matching antisera used makes the tests poorly reproducible and difficult to interpret. In this study, we have explored the possibility of replacing or supplementing the polyclonal antibody (PAb)-based method with one based on use of monoclonal antibodies (MAb). Panels of MAbs raised against two serotype O vaccine strains were examined for reactivity with 22 field viruses, isolated over a 10-year period between 1991 and 2001. Antigenic site 2 was found to comprise more than one epitope. The sequence variation in capsid protein VP2 harbouring antigenic site 2 was analysed and the amino acid residues at positions 79 and 134 appeared to greatly influence the binding of site 2 MAbs. Prediction of antigenic match based on MAb reactivity did not correlate closely with the results of a PAb-based "gold-standard" method and it was concluded that a wider panel of MAbs are needed that recognise all protective epitopes present on the surface of FMD virus together with a better understanding of those epitopes which are important in conferring protection.

Abstract
The International Vaccine Bank (IVB) based at the Institute of Animal Health (IAH) in Pirbright, United Kingdom (UK), routinely monitors the suitability of the currently held strains of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine virus, in anticipation that vaccine may be required to control FMD outbreaks that pose a threat to member countries. Using primarily the two-dimensional micro-neutralisation test (VNT), bovine polyclonal sera raised against each of the seven current 'emergency' antigens were utilised to measure the relationship of IVB stocks to selected field isolates. The 'O' serotypes, Manisa and Lausanne, exhibited adequate levels of cross-protection against most of the type 'O' field isolates examined. A(22) Iraq 24/64 showed the broadest spectrum of reactivity against the type 'A' field isolates examined and was supplemented by A(15) Thailand 1/60. Some type 'Asia1' field isolates, particularly those from South East Asia, showed antigenic difference to the Asia1 India 8/79 vaccine strain by VNT, but in-vivo testing in the guinea pig model indicated this to be insignificant. The only 'C' serotype representative, C(1) Oberbayern, may be one of the least antigenically diverse of the current portfolio of bank antigens. Comparison of the serological and sequence data shows that despite significant genetic variation between the field isolates examined the antigens held by the IVB should still prove efficacious in the field.

Abstract
Seven neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (nMAbs) produced against serotype Asia-1 foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) were used to select neutralization-resistant variants. Seven single and six multiple antibody-resistant variants were selected to identify neutralization antigenic sites on FMDV Asia-1. The variants no longer reacted with nMAbs which were used to select them when tested by microneutralization test (MNT), radioimmunoassay (RIA) and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) assay. Based on the binding and neutralization patterns of the variants, the nMAbs could be divided into discrete groups indicating the presence of three independent antigenic sites with evidence for occurrence of possibly a fourth site on the virus surface. Site 1 was present on 140S, 12Sps and VP1 and thus was conformation-independent. Sites 2 and 3 were restricted to the intact virion (140S) and thus were more conformation-dependent. Site 4 present on 140S virions and 12S protein subunits was less conformation-dependent. The site 3 nMAbs neutralized the infectivity of all the ten different Asia-1 virus isolates tested indicating that this site is conserved in Asia-1 virus serotype. Both cross-neutralization of different Asia-1 viruses with the nMAbs and cross-inhibition assays between MAbs demonstrated that the nMAbs recognized at least six different epitopes on Asia-1 virus.

Abstract
Synthetic peptides representing the amino acid sequence 141-160 of the structural protein VP1 of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) elicit virus-neutralizing antibody. Absorption of anti-peptide sera with purified virus particles removed all detectable virus-binding and neutralizing activity, and reduced the ELISA titres against the homologous peptide by 31-41%. The proportion of anti-peptide antibodies that also recognized virus was unaffected by whether the peptide had been inoculated free, carrier-linked or as part of a fusion protein. The majority of these antibodies reacted with sites composed of residues 142-150. Peptides extended at the amino terminus, into regions shown to be poorly antigenic on the intact virus, induced greater neutralizing responses by increasing the proportion of virus-binding antibodies recognizing region 141-150 from 35% to 70%. However, the total proportion of activity against the longer homologous peptide removed by virus absorption remained within the range 31-41%.

Abstract
The neutralization reaction is the most appropriate in vitro reference test system for assessing intratypic antigenic variation as it involves the antigenic determinants responsible for virus strain specificity and evoking protective antibody. Antigenic relationships determined in different neutralization test systems were independent of the system used and were assumed to truly reflect antigenic variation. The two-dimensional microneutralization test was found to be appropriate for foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus strain differentiation. To minimize test to test variation, comparisons are performed as matched pairs. The pooled variance of the test system is used to assess the significance of the relationships obtained. Antisera from convalescent animals were less specific than those from vaccinates. Serum quality seemed less critical for the virus neutralization than the complement fixation reaction. A system for FMD virus strain differentiation based on the use of the virus neutralization reaction taking into account the statistical and biological significance of observed r values is recommended.

Abstract
The antibodies in serum samples from an outbreak of low-virulent hog cholera in Spielbach, West Germany, 1966, as well as serum samples from pigs inoculated with hog cholera (HG) virus and bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus, respectively, were examined by means of 3 different methods: A modified direct complement fixation (GF) test, A peroxidase-linked antibody (PLA) assay based on microplates with fixed, viral-antigen containing cells, A neutralization assay carried out in microplates using the “chessboard” principle and read by means of the peroxidaselinked antibody (NPLA) assay. A good correlation was found in their ability to detect the antibodies. Generally neutralizing antibodies could be found 2 weeks after inoculation. By CF and PLA antibodies could be detected at the same time or up to 2 weeks later. All sera were tested by the 3 methods against both HG viral antigen and BVD viral antigen. HC-antibodies could not be distinguished from BVD-antibodies by CF but to a certain degree by PLA. BVD-antibodies could to a certain degree be distinguished from HG-antibodies by CF but not by PLA. This means that CF and PLA together provide a good possibility for differentiation between the two types of antibodies. NPLA could to a high degree of reliability distinguish between HG-antibodies and BVD-antibodies.

Abstract
Classic neutralization studies by Fazekas de St. Groth and Webster (8) on mixtures of influenza viruses and mixtures of rabbit antisera are reinterpreted in terms of a percentage contaminant in the stock used for the dilution series. A very small amount of a different virus changes the shape of quantal assay curves considerably, but even a large amount of a different antiserum has negligible effect on the shape and merely shifts the curve along the serum dilution axis. These conclusions are the reverse of the authors, who only considered an absolute amount of another component in all dilution tubes. An artificial mixture of 2.7 percent O8 in O1 foot-and-mouth disease virus strains was tested against anti-O1 serum assaying in suckling mice. The small amount of O8 virus greatly altered the shape of the neutralization curve in the direction expected from the reanalysis of the influenza literature data. Results from artificial mixtures are used to explain what were hitherto anomalously broad neutralization curves for some other foot-and-mouth disease strains given by Booth et al. (1) Many of the virus stocks studied can now be postulated as a natural mixture of related virus strains. In fact, the O1 and O8 stocks used might also be of themselves mixtures. These virus strains also exhibit still a further test complication in that the virus-antibody reaction appeared to shift away from complexes on dilution immediately prior to assay.

Abstract
A microneutralization test for serotyping of FMD viruses is described. It is based on earlier observations by Booth, Rweyemamu & Pay (1978) that dose-response relationships in quantal microneutralizations often deviated from linearity. The typing test described therefore utilizes undiluted virus preparations. In about 90% of samples a positive typing was obtained in contrast with about 50% for the complement fixation test. The test was also found to be susceptible to minimal quantities of heterotypic viral contamination. For strain differentiation the microneutralization test was carried out as a checkerboard test. When compared with the complement fixation test it was found to be more specific. The necessity to utilize virus-neutralization test systems for comparing FMD virus strains particularly for the purpose of vaccine selection is emphasized. The two dimensional microneutralization test has been applied to a study of comparing FMDV vaccine strains for Europe, South America, the Middle East and East Africa.
