The purpose of this study was to investigate protective effects against transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infection in piglets by administration of the TGEV antiserum orally at 2hrs, 24hrs and 36hrs after birth. Five piglets administered with the TGEV antiserum were experimentally challenged with TGEV at four-day-old. Control group was four piglets challenged with TGEV only. Clinical signs and gross, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were examined. In clinical signs, piglets of the control group appeared the typical signs such as severe watery diarrhea, depression and anorexia but piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group recovered progressively. In clinical signs, piglets of the control group appeared the typical signs such as severe watery diarrhea, depression and anorexia but piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group recovered progressively. In mortality, control group showed 75%, but TGEV antiserum adminstered group showed 20.0 %, respectively. In gross findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of congestion, distension of lumen, contaning curdes of undigested milk in stomach. But gross findings of piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group appeared milder than them of control group. In histopathological findings, piglets of the control group appeared the typical findings of villous atrophy and fusion, congesion, exfoliation, vacuolation, squamation, loss of cilia and proliferation of crypt. But histopathological findings of piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group appeared milder than them of control group. In immunohistochemical findings, piglets of the TGEV antiserum adminstered group showed more intensive in reaction for IgA and IgG than them of control group. The recation for IgA was stronger than that of IgG. It was concluded that oral administration of TGEV antiserum to piglets was effective to prevent TGEV infection and reduce their mortality.

Intestinal infections are common in growing pigs and can be caused by multiple pathogens, environmental and management factors [1]. Among the most important viruses in swine enteritis are porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine enteric calicivirus (PECV), porcine group A rotavirus (PRV gp A) and bacteria are Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. and protozoa is Isospora suis [1]. The DNA chip system can serve as a powerful tool that can be utilized for simultaneous detection of specific pathogenic bacteria strains and viruses [2,3]. The combination of PCR and DNA chip technology will provide a novel method for the detection of porcine enteric pathogens thus revolutionize the diagnosis and management of the disease. The aim of this study is to develop DNA chip system for the rapid and reliable detection of five major porcine enteric pathogens based on oligonucleotide DNA chip hybridization. (omitted)

Interferon (IFN)-λ plays an essential role in mucosal cells which exhibit strong antiviral activity. Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) has substantial application potential in the food and medical industries because of its probiotic properties. Alphacoronaviruses, especially porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), cause high morbidity and mortality in piglets resulting in economic loss. Co-infection by these two viruses is becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a new drug to prevent diarrhea infected with mixed viruses in piglets. In this study, we first constructed an anchored expression vector with CWA (C-terminal cell wall anchor) on L. plantarum. Second, we constructed two recombinant L. plantarum strains that anchored IFN-λ3 via pgsA (N-terminal transmembrane anchor) and CWA. Third, we demonstrated that both recombinant strains possess strong antiviral effects against coronavirus infection in the intestinal porcine epithelial cell line J2 (IPEC-J2). However, recombinant L. plantarum with the CWA anchor exhibited a more powerful antiviral effect than recombinant L. plantarum with pgsA. Consistent with this finding, Lb.plantarum-pSIP-409-IFN-λ3-CWA enhanced the expression levels of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) (ISG15, OASL, and Mx1) in IPEC-J2 cells more than did recombinant Lb.plantarum-pSIP-409-pgsA'-IFN-λ3. Our study verifies that recombinant L. plantarum inhibits PEDV and TGEV infection in IPEC-J2 cells, which may offer great potential for use as a novel oral antiviral agent in therapeutic applications for combating porcine epidemic diarrhea and transmissible gastroenteritis. This study is the first to show that recombinant L. plantarum suppresses PEDV and TGEV infection of IPEC-J2 cells.

동물유래성분을 원재료로 사용하는 의료기기는 원료물질 유래 바이러스가 오염될 가능성이 있기 때문에 생산과정 중 바이러스가 오염되지 않도록 하여야 한다. 또한 생산공정은 오염될 가능성이 있는 바이러스들을 불활화하거나 제거하는 공정을 포함하여야 한다. 본 연구를 통해 돼지유래 이종골을 원재료로 사용한 바이러스 안전성이 보증된 치과용 골이식재(THE Graft$^{(R)}$) 제조공정을 개발하였다. THE Graft$^{(R)}$ 제조공정은 30% 과산화수소수와 80% 에탄올을 각각 처리하여 지방을 제거하는 공정과 $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정을 통해 콜라겐과 유기물을 제거하는 공정을 포함한다. 또한 최종적으로 생산된 hydroxyapatite 성분의 골이식재에 25 kGy의 감마선을 조사하여 감염성 위해인자를 불활화하는 공정을 포함한다. THE Graft$^{(R)}$의 형태학적 특성을 소유래 hydroxyapatite 성분의 골이식재인 Bio-Oss와 SEM과 TEM을 이용하여 비교한 결과 구조적 특성이 유사함을 확인하였다. $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정과 25 kGy 감마선 조사 공정의 바이러스 불활화 효과를 평가하기 위해 transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine rotavirus (PRoV), porcine parvovirus (PPV)를 모델 바이러스로 선정하였다. $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정에서 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV 모두 검출한계 이하로 불활화되었으며, 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}4.65$, ${\geq}5.81$, ${\geq}6.28$, ${\geq}5.21$이었다. 또한 감마선 조사 공정에서도 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV 모두 검출한계 이하로 불활화되었으며, 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}4.65$, ${\geq}5.87$, ${\geq}6.05$, ${\geq}4.89$이었다. 두 공정에서 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV의 누적 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}9.30$, ${\geq}11.68$, ${\geq}12.33$, ${\geq}10.10$이었다. 이상의 결과에 의하면, THE Graft$^{(R)}$ 제조공정은 바이러스 안전성 보증을 위한 충분한 바이러스 불활화 능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) in suckling piglets by oral administration of IgY. Twenty piglets were divided into two groups with the same number: group I (treated with IgY) and group II (not treated). Group I was administerd orally with IgY for three days from one-day-old and experimentally challenged with PEDV and TGEV at four-day-old. The other was administered with saline solution and challenged with PEDV and TGEV at four-day-old. Serum antibody titers against PEDV and TGEV were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the detection of PEDV or TGEV antigen from feces and small intestines was performed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and indirect immunofluorescence (IFA). The antibody titers of the group I was higher than that of the other, and lasted at the end of experiment. In the detection tests of both virus from feces and small intestine, the rate of the group I was lower. Based on these results, oral administration of IgY may be effective to prevent the diarrhea caused by PEDV and TGEV.

In this presented study, we established a method for diagnosis of porcine epidemic diarrhea(PED) by in situ hybridization(ISH), which made distinct progress in diagnostic pathology. We also carried out the retrospective diagnosis through ISH to assume the exact time of the first outbreak and incidence of PED in Korea. The outbreak of PED in Korea reported in 1992. However, since the end of 1980's, some researches of pig-industry have already suspected the outbreak of PED, not transmissible gastroenteritis(TGE). In this experiment, we performed the ISH using 80 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues of porcine intestine which were requests for pathological diagnosis from 63 farms whose primary sign was diarrhea from 1984 to 1991. We prepared biotinylated cDNA probe(492base pairs) for ISH by nick translation method and carried out the ISH, using $Microprobe^{TM}$ capillary action system(Fisher $Biotech^R$). We detected PED virus in intestinal mucosa of 2 cases in 1992, 1 case in 1988, and 1 case in 1987. As a result, we assume that the outbreak of PED in Korea have already started since 1987.

Porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV) is antigenically related to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV). Differential serological diagnosis between PRCV and TGEV infection is not possible with the classical sero-neutralization test. Infection with PRCV or TGEV induces antibodies which neutralize both viruses to the same titer. However, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can differentiate between PRCV and TGEV infection. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of PRCV infection of swine in Gyeongnam province. A total of 391 serum samples from 37 herds in Gyeongnam were examined for antibody to PRCV using blocking ELISA. All serum samples were collected from 130- to 150-day-old pigs between August and December 2006. By ELISA, 182 out of 391 sera tested (46.5%) and 29 out of 37 sample herds (78.4%) were positive against PRCV. Our data suggested that seropositive herds for PRCV are distributed diffusely throughout Gyeongnam. The PCR methods were established to diagnose PRCV spike protein (S) gene. PCR were conducted to identify the PRCV genome against 150 pigs in PRCV antibody positive herds.

The nucleotide sequences of spike (S) glycoprotein containing antigenic sites A and D of TGEV isolated in Korea were determined and compared with published sequences for TGEVs. The TGEV 133 and DAE5 strains had 97.40% nucleotide sequence similarity. The overall nucleotide sequence similarity of the 133 and DAE5 strains compared with other TGEV strains was between 96.86% and 99.15%. The similarity of the predicted amino acid sequence of the 133 and DAE5 strains was 94.93%. The TGEV 133 and DAE5 strains had 94.93-98.61% amino acid similarity with published sequences of other TGEV strains. The sequences of amino acid codons in the antigenic sites A and D were identical among all the viruses although there were several nucleotide changes in region containing antigenic sites A and D of Korean TGEV isolates. By phylogenetic analysis of the sequences, two Korean isolates 133 and DAE5 seemed to be derived from different lineages. These studies showed that a distinct difference in genome exists among TGEV field strains isolated in Korea.
