  1. Genotype and Protectotype Characterization of IBV Variants in Israel Rosie Meir, Ora Maharat and Yigal Farnushy Division of Avian and Aquatic Animal Diseases Kimron Veterinary Institute

  2. IBV Classification Serotyping – based on Virus Neutralization tests Genotyping – based on the S1 gene sequence S1

  3. IBV Classification • Protectotyping – based on protection trials in vivo Protectotype ≠ Serotype/Genotype N protein

  4. S1 gene 5’ 3’ Primer Primer RT-PCR 5’ 3’ BstY I Hae III Xcm I Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RT-PCR-RFLP)

  5. RT-PCR-RFLP Kwon et al. 1993; Jackwood et al. 1997 • Each serotype has a distinct RFLP pattern • Different RFLP patterns = different serotypes Serotyping was not performed in our laboratory RT-PCR-RFLP = rapid genotyping A new RFLP pattern S1 sequencing

  6. Israeli variants 1996-2007 • Variant 1 • Variant 2 • IS/720/99 • IS/885/00 • IS/1201/04 Massachusetts Relevantvaccine strains H120 4/91 Relevantvaccine strains H120 4/91

  7. RFLP patterns M 1 2 3 4 M 1 2 3 4 M 1 2 3 4 M 2 3 4 1720 1720 1720 Var II Var I Mass 1201 1. Uncut 2. BstY I 3. Hae III 4. XcM I 885 720

  8. Variant 1 genotype • First isolated in 1996 • Similar to 793B serotypes including the vaccine strains 4/91 and CR88 • Respiratory and Nephropathogenic M 1 2 3 4

  9. Variant 2genotype • First isolated in 1996 • Endemic - no similarity to published strains and variants • Respiratory and nephropathogenic M 1 2 3 4

  10. IS/720/99 genotype • Endemic • Also isolated in Egypt • Respiratory M 1 2 3

  11. IS/885/00 genotype • Endemic • Very similar to IS/720/99 • Nephropathogenic M 1 2 3 IS/720/99 = IS/885/00 (same genotypes)

  12. IS/1201/04 genotype • Similar to QXIBV • Respiratory M 1 2 3

  13. Variant prevalence 1996-2007

  14. Variant prevalence 2005-2007

  15. Comparison of S1 protein:Israeli IBV variants, H120 and 4/91 95% 98% 71-78% 92% 70-75%

  16. Israeli IBV Massachusettsgenotypes • Identity of 97-100% to H120 • Unknown role in IB outbreaks? • First identified in Israel in 1977 M 1 2 3 4

  17. Comparison of the S1 gene sequence of Mass-type isolates and H120 Difference range 0-2.7 % % 99.7-100

  18. Conclusions • Mass-type isolates are persistent in Israel • About 50% of sequenced isolates show 100% identity with H120 • S1 sequence difference of up to 3% from H120 - unknown significance • Not a major pathogen in severe IBV outbreaks

  19. Phylogenetic tree of world IB viruses Europe 793B serotype 4 Far east

  20. Comparison of Israeli and foreign IB viruses Europe Far East

  21. Protectotyping Efficacy of vaccines when challenged with a virulent virus (> 80% protection according to OIE)

  22. Efficacy of H120 (1999-2001)Tested with 1996-2000 isolates Efficient protection against Mass- types only

  23. Experimental Design Live vaccine eye drops At least 10 chicks /group Day old SPF chicks 40/47 days 42/49 days 14 days 35/42 days Bleeding Challenge Bleeding End of trial Bleeding Second vaccination (live or inactivated) Tracheal swabs Laboratory tests

  24. Laboratory Tests Sera Tracheal swabs 5 embryonated SPF eggs/bird ELISA ά IBV IgG (IDEXX) HI Mass Ag Aspiration of AF 2d PI Virus isolation: embryo mortality/lesions 8 day surveillance RT-PCR

  25. Resultsinterpretation Vaccine efficacy was determined by percentage of embryos negative for IBV (RT-PCR or virus isolation) ELISA/HI titers – indication of exposure/cross reaction

  26. Trial 1 – Efficacy of H120 Challenge viruses: • IS/1365/05 (Variant 1) • IS/1494/06 (Variant 2) • IS/1201/04 • M41 (Mass positive control)

  27. Vaccine efficacy results- trial 1

  28. Serology results– trial 1 ELISA HI Test (Ag – Mass)

  29. Summary – trial 1 • H120 afforded protection against the homologous virus and IS/1365/05 (Variant 1) • H120 did not protect against IS/1494/06 (Variant 2) and IS/1201 • Variant 2 results are in agreement with previous experiments (isolates from 1996)

  30. Trial 2 - Inactivated IS/1201 Vaccine Vaccination regimes: • H120 x2 • H120 + inactivated IS/1201 at 14 days • Only inactivated IS/1201 at 14 days Challenge virus: Live IS/1201

  31. Vaccine efficacy results-trial 2

  32. Serology results – trial 2

  33. Summary trial 2 • Inactivated vaccine did not improve protection against homologous live virus • Good humoral response was detected when chicks primed with H120 • Without priming – very low humoral response

  34. Trial 3 -Efficacy of 4/91 Vaccination regimes: • H120 at 1 and 14 days • 4/91 at 1 and 14 days • H120 at day 1 and 4/91 at 14 days Challenge viruses: • IS/1365/05 (Variant 1) • IS/1494/06 (Variant 2) • M41 (Mass positive control)

  35. Variant 1 challenge groups Group 4 4/91x2 Group 3 H120+4/91 Group 2 H120x2 Group 1 No vaccine X 3 challenge viruses = 12 groups

  36. Vaccine efficiency results – trial 3

  37. Serology results – trial 3 ELISA HI (Ag – Mass)

  38. Summary - trial 3 Vaccination with 4/91 alone or after H120 improved significantly the immunity against Variants 1 and 2

  39. Conclusions • Variant 1 = 4/91 genotype and protectotype • IS/1201 and Variant 2 ≠ H120 genotype and protectotype • Variant 2 ≠ 4/91 genotype = 4/91 protectotype
