What is the gold standard in virus ID
Virus isolation- but takes too long for clinical
Name the two types of biological assays
Viral plaque and end-point titration of infectivity
Name the 4 physical assays
HA, Ag capture ELISA, EM count, PCR
What does virus isolation look for?
CPE- cytopathic effects like syncitia, intranuclear/intracytoplasmic inclusions
What is a + result in HA
Lattice of cross linked RBCs
Minimum detection for HA in turkey/chicken
10^6/mL
How do you confirm HA
Make antisera of suspected virus, if it inhibits HA, virus confirmed
FeLV - virus type
Gamma retro (think grandma loves cats)
FeLV - diversity due to
mutation and recombination with endogenous retroviruses
FeLV - infection usually due to
genetically distinct but Ag-related exogenous FeLVs
FeLV - virulence traits
In LTRs/promoter of provirus on SU surface glycoprotein
FeLV - vax origin
SU glycoprotein changes alter disease and receptor use
FeLV - symptoms
Lymphosarcoma, myoproliferative dz and anemia, glomerulonephritis, immunopathologic disease, fibrosarcomas
FeLV - lymphosarcoma pathogenicity
6 cellular oncogene dysregulation (c-myc, v-myc, flvi1, flvi2, flit1, fit1)
FeLV - transmission
Horizontal- saliva, tears, urine, feces, milk; vertical- transplacental
FeLV - lymphoma types
- multicentric, alimentary (older), thymic (kittens), unclassified (skin, eyes, CNS);
FeLV - myoproliferative disease types
- RBC myelosis, granulocytic leukemia, erythroleukemia, myelofibrosis;
FeLV - immuno dz types
- glomerulonephritis from Ag-Ab complex in capillaries; Ab-mediated cytotoxicity depleting lymphocytes; immunodeficiency leading to stomatitis, gingivitis, non-healing lesions, abscesses, CRF, etc
FeLV - fibrosarcoma pathogenicity
Recombination of virus to FeSV via V-onc acquisition, multifocal subcu that metastasize, no horizontal spread of FeSV, sarcomas from vax not FeSV
FeLV - dx
Ag immunoassay kits - detect p27 in serum; PCR
FeLV - vax components
env and gag Ag from recombinant canarypox
Bovine leukemia virus- type
Retrovirus
Bovine leukemia virus- target
B-lymphocytes with IgM on surface, monocytes, macrophages
Bovine leukemia virus- symptoms
Mostly asymptomatic; Lymphoma, lymphosarcoma leading to death, persistent lymphocytosis
