  • A stable cell line, BSBS (black seabream spleen), was established from the cells in spleen of black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, and characterized. Subculture maintained more than 60 passages and mophologically, BSBS cell was epithelioid cell. The cells grew optimally at 20℃ in Leibovitz's L-15 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum with incubation temperature of 20℃. BSBS cells supported the growth of marine birnavirus (MABV Y-6), chum salmon reovirus (CSV), spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) and hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV). Thus, the new cell line may be useful for studying wide range of fish viruses.

  • Mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced by using viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV, genotype IVa) as an immunogen, isolated from diseased olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Four hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against VHSV were established. The MAbs were recognized the nucleoprotein (MAb 4), phosphoprotein (MAb 1) and matrix protein (MAbs 2 and 3) of VHSV by western blot analysis. Among them, the MAbs 1 and 4 strongly reacted with the VHSV-infected FHM cells, but not normal FHM cells. In enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, the four MAbs reacted with the VHSV, but not different six fish viruses (infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, hirame rhabdovirus, spring viraemia of carp virus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, marine birnavirus and nervous necrosis virus). These results indicate that the MAbs are useful for diagnosis of VHSV infection.

  • We developed and subsequently characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against nervous necrosis virus (NNV, RGNNV genotype). We established six hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against NNV antigen: 2B1, 2B11, 2C12, 13C1-1, 13C1-2 and 14D11. All six MAbs belonged to the IgG2a isotype with a kappa light chain and their reactivity recognized against the 41 kDa coat protein of NNV by Western blot analysis. The affinity constants of the six MAbs were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All six MAbs reacted with two NNV isolates (SgNag05 and Gemunodo06), while no reactivity was observed with five know fish viruses, namely marine birnavirus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, hirame rhabdovirus, and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Moreover, high ELISA optical density (OD) values (0.87-1.42) were observed in the brain tissues of NNV-infected sevenband grouper, while low OD values (less than 0.12) were recorded in the brain tissues of uninfected fish. These results suggest that these six MAbs are highly competent and useful for the detection of NNV with the RGNNV genotype.

  • On April of 2000 and February of 2001, a disease characterized by darkening, ascites and enlargement of the spleen occurred in flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, farmed near northern and eastern coasts of Korea. Various degree of necrosis including liquefactive-type was observed mainly in hemopoietic tissue of spleen and kindney. Certain tissue such as branchial soft tissue including epithelium showed a similar necrotic findings. But some tissues such as intentine had several necrotic clusters of wandering cells, being possibly leukocytes. Necrotic evidences of blood cells were evident in various tissues including hemopoietic tissues. Necrobiotic bodies were frequently encountered in blood smear preparations. Bullet type-virious were detected in the spleenic cells. Each virion was about 500 nm in diameter and 170nm in length. From these results, this disease was thought to be a rhabdoviral disease.

  • For a variety of viruses, the primary virus infection has been shown to prevent superinfection with a homologous secondary virus; however, the mechanism of exclusion has not been clearly understood. In this work, we demonstrated that BVDV -infected MDBK cells were protected from superinfection with a homologous superinfecting BVDV, one of the positive-sense RNA pestiviruses, but not with an unrelated rhabdovirus, such as vesicular stomatitis virus. Once superinfection exclusion was established by a primary infection with BVDV, the transfected infectious BVD viral RNA genome was shown to be competent for viral translation, but not viral replication. In addition, our results also demonstrated that upon superinfection, the. viral RNA genome of viral particles was not transferred into the cytoplasm of BVDV -infected cells. Using newly developed system involving rapid generation of the MDBK cells expressing BVD viral proteins, we subsequently found that expression of the viral structural proteins was dispensable for the block occurring at the level of viral RNA replication, but required for the exclusion at the level of viral entry step. Altogether, these findings provide evidence that the superinfection exclusion of BVDV occurs not only at the level of viral replication in which the viral replicase are involved, but also at the level of viral entry with which the viral structural proteins are associated, and that a cellular factor(s) play an essential role in this process.

  • We developed and subsequently characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against marine birnavirus (MABV). Eight hybridoma clones secreting mAbs against MABV were established. All eight mAbs (8G6, 11C3, 15E3, 17H6, 32A6, 35A7, 38B5, and 47E3) were reacted with viral protein 3 of MABV in MABV-infected CHSE-214, whereas, no reactivity was observed in normal CHSE-214 by western blot analysis. Moreover, these eight mAbs were strongly reacted with MABV, and no cross-reactivity has been observed against other five fish viruses (hirame rhabdovirus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, nervous necrosis virus, spring viraemia of carp virus, and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus), although five mAb (11C3, 15E3, 17H6, 32A6, and 38B5) reacted with both MABV and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These results indicate that the mAbs can be of value in MABV detection.

  • Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is s significant viral pathogen affecting cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Korea. In this study, five monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (IHNV-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) were produced using purified IHNV. Reactivities of these mAbs were analyzed by western blot (WB), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). These mAbs recognized glycoprotein (69 kDa, IHNV-1), nucleocapsid protein (39 kDa, IHNV-3, 4, and 5), or phosphoprotein (27 kDa, IHNV-2) of IHNV by WB analysis. ELISA results indicated that these five mAbs were specific to IHNV without showing any cross-reactivity against other fish viruses (hirame rhabdovirus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus). IFAT demonstrated specific fluorescence signals of IHNV-infected epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells, whereas no reactivity of normal EPC cells was observed. These mAbs can be very useful for immuno-diagnosis of IHNV infection.

  • Orchid fleck virus (OFV) is an unassigned plant virus in the family Rhabdoviridae. OFV was isolated from Cymbidium sp. showing oval necrotic lesions on their leaves in Korea, and designated as OFV-NHHS1. The complete nucleotide sequence of the RNA1 (6,413 nt) (GenBank accession no. AB516442) and RNA2 (6,001 nt) (GenBank accession no. AB516441) was determined in this study. RNA1 and RNA2 contained five and one ORF respectively. RNA1 encodes nucleocapsid (N) of 49 kDa, ORF2 of 26 kDa, ORF3 of 38 kDa, ORF4 of 20 kDa and glycoprotein (G) of 61 kDa proteins, whereas RNA2 encodes a single polymerase of 212 kDa. OFV-NHHS1 shared extremely high similarity of 98.6-100% and 98.9-99.6% in nucleotidle and amino acid sequences with a Japanese isolate, OFV-so, respectively. However, the N, G and L of OFV-NHHS1 revealed 6.9-19.3%, 7.3-12.0%, and 13.4-26.6% identities to those of 29 Rhabdoviruses, respectively. To survey the infection rate of OFV in commercial orchids in Korea, 51 Cymbidium sp., 10 Phalaenopsis sp., 22 Oncidium sp. and 21 Dendrobium sp. plants that showed typical viral symptoms were collected. RT-PCR with specific primers for detection of Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV), ORSV and OFV showed high infection rate by ORSV alone and double infection by ORSV and CymMV. One of the orchids tested was infected with OFV. This is the first report of the complete nucleotide sequences of OFV isolated in Korea.

  • We developed and subsequently characterized mouse antibodies (MAbs) against viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV, genotype IVa), the causative agent of VHS. Five hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against VHSV were established. The MAbs recognized the glycoprotein (MAbs 2C10, 18H4, 23H6, and 30B7) and nucleocapsid protein (15E10) of VHSV by western blot analysis. All five MAbs reacted with VHSV-infected cells and tissue homogenates of VHSV-infected olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) by western blot analysis. Whereas, no reactivity was observed in normal cells and tissue homogenates of normal olive flounder. Moreover, these MAbs reacted with VHSV, but did not react with other fish viruses (infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, hirame rhabdovirus, spring viraemia of carp virus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, marine birnavirus, and nervous necrosis virus) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These results indicate that the MAbs are specific to VHSV and can be of value in VHSV detection.

  • Previously we demonstrated that virus-inducible stress protein (VISP) is induced in fish cells by the infection of a fish rhabdovirus. In this paper, we investigated the subcellular localization of the VISP and determined the region of VISP responsible for the subcellular localization. The CHSE-214 cells were stained with monoclonal antibody raised against VISP and observed with confocal microscope to detect the endogenous VISP. The results showed that the VISP localizes to the perinuclear region as spots. A plasmid expressing VISP fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was constructed. The transient expression of full-length VISP fused to EGFP in CHSE-214 cells confirmed the spot formation of the VISP at perinuclear region. To determine the region responsible for the perinuclear localization of the VISP, we constructed a series of deletion mutants and, by using these deletion mutants, we found that C-terminal region of the VISP (aa 612-710) is essential for the perinuclear distribution of VISP and that this region contained nuclear receptor binding motif (691-TLTSLLL-697). Our results suggest that VISP localizes to the perinuclear region and C-terminal regions are important for this localization. Further studies on the role of the perinuclear localization of VISP in IHNV growth mali reveal the novel mechanism of IHNV pathogenecity.
