Abstract
Avian oncogenic or tumor diseases are common in poultry industry causing significant economic loss. Marek's disease (MD), avian leukosis (AL) and Reticuloendotheliosis (RE) are the three major viral oncogenic infections that are difficult to differentiate with gross lesions. Multiplex PCR for simultaneous detection and differentiation of these three viruses was developed and validated. The primers targeting the genes of pp38, pol and LTR for MDV, ALV and REV were designed to yield 206, 429, and 128 bp, respectively. The sensitivity of the PCR primers was checked with serial dilution of positive template DNA for each virus and found to be in the range of 10-5 to 10-7 of 1 µg/µl of initial template DNA. Out of 114 suspected tumor samples screened, 8 samples were positive for MDV, 13 samples were positive for ALV and 31 samples positive for REV. Five samples were positive for both MD and ALV; 3 samples were positive for MD and REV and 25 samples were positive for ALV and REV. Eight samples were positive for all three viruses. Multiplex PCR demonstrated to be a useful technique for simultaneous, rapid detection and differentiation of major tumor causing and immunosuppressive viral diseases of chicken.

Abstract
Co-infection of Marek’s disease virus (MDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) synergistically drives disease progression, yet little is known about the mechanism of the synergism. Here, we found that co-infection of REV and MDV increased their replication via the RIOK3-Akt pathway. Initially, we noticed that the viral titres of MDV and REV significantly increased in REV and MDV co-infected cells compared with single-infected cells. Furthermore, tandem mass tag peptide labelling coupled with LC/MS analysis showed that Akt was upregulated in REV and MDV co-infected cells. Overexpression of Akt promoted synergistic replication of MDV and REV. Conversely, inhibition of Akt suppressed synergistic replication of MDV and REV. However, PI3K inhibition did not affect synergistic replication of MDV and REV, suggesting that the PI3K/Akt pathway is not involved in the synergism of MDV and REV. In addition, we revealed that RIOK3 was recruited to regulate Akt in REV and MDV co-infected cells. Moreover, wild-type RIOK3, but not kinase-dead RIOK3, mediated Akt phosphorylation and promoted synergistic replication of MDV and REV. Our results illustrate that MDV and REV activated a novel RIOK3-Akt signalling pathway to facilitate their synergistic replication.

J Virol Methods 2022; 303:114499. [PMID: 35217101 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2022.114499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) infections in chickens have resulted in global economic losses in the poultry industry. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and chicken anemia virus (CAV) infections lead to immunosuppression in chickens, and concomitant co- infection with FAdV usually produces severe and lethal infections. These co-infections are common occurrences on chicken farms and affect large number of chickens. Thus, a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic test for these viruses becomes a prerequisite to effective control and isolation measures. We developed a triplex nanoparticle-assisted PCR (nano-PCR) assay that can simultaneously detect these 3 viruses in a single assay tube using PCR primers directed at respective specific genes of each virus. The assay was specific for FAdVs, CAV and IBDV, and it did not amplify Newcastle disease virus, infectious bronchitis virus, egg drop syndrome virus or Marek's disease virus. The minimum detection limit was 27.2 femtogram (fg) for all three viruses and was 1000-fold more sensitive than multiplex PCR using identical primers. Screening of 69 clinical samples from 40 to 50 days old chickens with obvious lesions in liver using the nano-PCR compared with a multiplex PCR yielded identical results. Of the 69 samples, 13 were detected positive including 4 for FAdV, 4 for IBDV and 6 for CAV single virus infections, respectively, as well as 5 for FAdV/CAV, 2 for FAdV/IBDV and 3 for IBDV/CAV co-infections. The triple nano-PCR assay developed in our laboratory is a sensitive, specific and simple method that can be used for detection of FAdV, CAV and IBDV as single or mixed infections.

Abstract
Reticuloendotheliosis is an important immunosuppressive disease, associated with avian reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) infection, and causes notable economic losses worldwide. Glycoprotein gp90 is an important structural protein of REV, and considered to be the most important immunogenic antigen, which can induce neutralizing antibodies against REV. In this study, an optimized suspension culture system was developed and applied to secretory express the immunogenic surface antigen gp90. To achieve an optimal glycosylation, the gp90 was designed to secretory expressed into the supernatant of the cell culture, which also occurs in the natural protein maturation procedure of REV. Serum-free culture medium was introduced to simplify the purification process and reduce the production costs. Based on the purified glycosylated gp90, an oil-emulsion subunit REV vaccine candidate was developed and evaluated in chickens. The subunit gp90-based vaccine induced fast immune responses, high levels of antibodies (REV-specific antibody, gp90-specific antibody, and neutralizing antibody against REV), and preferential T helper 2 (Th2) (interleukin-4 secretion) not Th1 (interferon-γ secretion) response. Furthermore, the viremia induced by REV infection was significantly reduced in chickens immunized with the glycosylated gp90. Overall, an optimized secretory expression system for glycosylated gp90 was developed, and the glycosylated gp90 obtained in this study retained good immunogenicity and could be an attractive vaccine candidate to protect chickens against REV horizonal infection.

Abstract
Marek's disease virus (MDV), reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), avian reovirus (ARV), chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), and fowl adenovirus (FAdV) are important causes of disease in poultry. To investigate the infection status of the above six viruses in chickens in China, 1,187 samples from chicken flocks were collected and tested using a newly developed multiplex reverse-transcription quantitative real-time PCR (MRT-qPCR) assay in the study. A series of validation tests confirmed that the MRT-qPCR assay has high specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability. As for six detected pathogens, CIAV had the highest detection ratio, while ARV was not detected in any samples. In the spleen samples, the coinfection rate for MDV and CIAV was 1.6%, and that for REV and CIAV was 0.4%. In the bursa samples, the coinfection rate for FAdV and CIAV was 0.3%, and that for IBDV and CIAV was 1%. In the thymus samples, the coinfection rates for MDV and CIAV and for REV and CIAV were both 0.8%. Our study indicates that the coinfection of these viruses was existing in chickens in China. Through the detection of clinical samples, this study provides data on the coinfections of the above six pathogens and provides a basis for the further study of viral coinfection in chickens.

Abstract
Infectious laryngotracheitis disease is an acute, highly contagious viral disease seriously affecting poultry industry worldwide. In this study, a rapid and simple immune colloidal gold test strip for detecting infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) was developed based on membrane chromatography with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against gJ protein of ILTV and systematically evaluated for the detection of ILTV from clinical samples. mAb 2D4 1D7 was conjugated with colloidal gold as the detector antibody on the test strip. Another mAb, 1D8 1G3, was used as the capture complex at the test line (T-line), and goat antimouse IgG antibody was used as the capture antibody at the control line (C-line). The colloidal gold test strip showed high specificity in the detection of ILTV, with no cross-reaction with other avian pathogens, including infectious bronchitis virus, infectious bursal disease virus, avian influenza virus, Newcastle disease virus, fowl adenoviruses, and Marek's disease virus. Besides, the detection limit of this method was as low as 60 ELD50/mL for the ILTV Wanggang strain. Furthermore, we evaluated its application in 260 clinical samples suspected of infection with ILTV. Results from the strip test were nearly identical with those from real-time PCR (coincidence rate 99.6%) and showed higher sensitivity than conventional PCR. All the results obtained in this study indicated that the colloidal gold test strip can be applied as a simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic tool for the detection of ILTV, especially in resource-limited areas.

Abstract
Marek's disease (MD) is one of the most devastating diseases of poultry. It's caused by the highly infectious alphaherpesvirus MD virus serotype 1 (MDV-1). In this study, a rapid and easy-to-use assay based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was developed for MDV detection. Primer-probe sets targeting the highly conserved region of Meq gene were designed and applied to the RPA assay. The assay was carried out on a real-time thermostatic fluorescence detector at 39 °C for 20 min. As revealed by the results, no cross-reactions were found with the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), chicken infectious anemia virus (CAV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), avain influenza virus (AIV), avian leucosis virus (ALV), avian reovirus (ARV), Marek's disease virus serotype 2 (MDV-2) and turkey herpes virus (HVT), indicating appropriate specificity of the assay. Plasmid DNA standards were used to determine the sensitivity of the assay and the detection limit was 102copies/μL. To further evaluate the clinical performance, 94 clinical samples were subjected to the RPA assay and 28 samples were tested MDV positive, suggesting that the real-time RPA assay was sufficient enough for clinical sample detection. Thus, a highly specific and sensitive real-time RPA assay was established and validated as a candidate for MDV diagnosis. Additionally, the portability of real-time RPA assay makes it suitable to be potentially applied in clinical diagnosis in the field, especially in resource-limited settings.
