Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biological vaccines, and particularly relates to a triple quadrivalent inactivated vaccine for preventing and treating duck viral diseases and its application. Background Art
[0002] Duck viral hepatitis is a highly contagious and fatal infectious disease caused by duck hepatitis virus. Duck viral hepatitis has an acute onset, rapid transmission speed, and high mortality rate. Clinically, it is characterized by rapid onset, convulsions, acute death, liver swelling and bleeding, and the most typical symptom is opisthotonus after death. The morbidity rate of ducklings can reach 100%. It can occur throughout the year, and ducklings within 3 weeks of age are the most susceptible. It is one of the most serious infectious diseases endangering the duck farming industry in China and can cause serious economic losses to the duck farming industry worldwide. Currently, there is no specific therapeutic drug, and the main prevention and control method is mainly quarantine monitoring. Currently, there are 3 serotypes of duck hepatitis virus, namely type I, type II, and type III. Among them, type I duck hepatitis virus has the strongest pathogenicity and is widely distributed worldwide. The 3 serotypes have obvious serological differences and no cross-immunity. Type I duck hepatitis virus is mainly prevalent in China, and cases of type III have been reported successively in recent years. For the prevention and treatment of duck hepatitis, at present, in addition to strengthening feeding management, vaccine immunization and targeted treatment play an important role in controlling the prevalence of the disease.
[0003] New duck reovirus (NDRV) disease is a newly emerging disease caused by reovirus, characterized by splenomegaly, bleeding, and necrosis. Since 2005, in Putian, Fuzhou, Changle, Fuqing, Zhangpu in Fujian Province, Foshan in Guangdong Province, and Zhejiang and other places in China, a disease mainly characterized by irregular necrosis and bleeding mixture of the liver, myocardial bleeding, splenomegaly with patchy necrosis, and bleeding of the kidneys and bursa of Fabricius has occurred in flocks of muscovy ducks, mule ducks, and mallards. This disease has no obvious seasonality and can occur in various breeds of ducks (such as muscovy ducks, mule ducks, mallards, Cherry Valley ducks, etc.), and there is an increasing trend year by year; the onset age is about 3 - 25 days old, with 5 - 10 days old being the majority. The course of the disease is 5 - 7 days, the morbidity rate is 5% - 20%, and the mortality rate is 2% - 15% (case fatality rate 40% - 75%). The younger the age or the more concurrent infections, the higher the morbidity and mortality rates, causing certain economic losses to the duck farming industry. Currently, there is no commercially available new duck reovirus-related vaccine, and many research institutes and biological product enterprises tend to study single vaccines and live vaccines for this disease.
[0004] The new duck parvovirus disease is a new disease with short beak and growth disorder as clinical features caused by the new duck-origin goose parvovirus or goose parvovirus variant. Since 2015, a new epidemic with short beak, exposed tongue, soft feet, poor feather growth, easy fracture, growth disorder and other clinical manifestations has broken out in Mule ducks and Cherry Valley ducks in Zhangzhou, Zhangpu, Longhai, Fujian Province and Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang and other provinces. The morbidity rate is 10% to 100%, the mortality rate is 2% to 10%, and the rate of dead duck elimination or crippled ducks is 20% to 80%, causing great economic losses to the duck industry. The disease is highly contagious and susceptible to young days. The incubation period is 5 to 7 days. It usually develops at 6 to 45 days of age. The course of the disease is long and lasts for more than 20 days. It occurs all year round. There is currently no commercially available vaccine for the new duck parvovirus disease. Most research institutions reported in the literature also tend to study the inactivated vaccine of the whole virus.
[0005] In recent years, my country's poultry industry has gradually developed from free-range farming to intensive farming, and the scale of farming has greatly increased compared with the past. New diseases and new outbreaks of old diseases of waterfowl have continued to appear, becoming a major problem that plagues farmers. Duck hepatitis, reovirus and duck parvovirus are all susceptible to ducks at a young age, and mixed infection or secondary infection of these three diseases is common in farms. There are currently no commercially available vaccines for the new duck reovirus and the new duck parvovirus, and many research institutes and biological product companies tend to study single vaccines or live vaccines for these two diseases. There are no reports of effective vaccines that can prevent and control these three diseases at the same time. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a triple quadrivalent inactivated vaccine for duck viral hepatitis (type 1 + type 3), new duck reovirus disease, and new duck parvovirus disease with good safety and effective immune effect. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention provides a triple quadrivalent inactivated vaccine for preventing and treating duck viral diseases and application thereof. The vaccine can not only achieve the purpose of multiple protections with one shot, but also reduce the stress response of ducks due to immunization with the vaccine. Meanwhile, young ducks are susceptible to the four viral diseases, and after immunization, the invasion of the four viruses can be prevented at the same time.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a triple quadrivalent inactivated vaccine for preventing and treating duck viral diseases, wherein the aqueous phase is prepared by mixing duck hepatitis virus type 1 antigen liquid, duck hepatitis virus type 3 antigen liquid and duck reovirus antigen liquid, and then adding duck parvovirus VP2 protein liquid to obtain a mixed antigen liquid with a final concentration of 40 μg / ml, wherein the virus content in the duck hepatitis virus type 1 antigen liquid and the duck hepatitis virus type 3 antigen liquid is 10 6.5 ELD 50 / 0.2ml, the virus content of duck reovirus antigen is 10 5.5 TCID 50 / ml.
[0008] Preferably, the volume ratio of the Duck Hepatitis virus type 1 antigen solution, Duck Hepatitis virus type 3 antigen solution and New Duck Reovirus antigen solution added to the aqueous phase is 1:1:1.
[0009] Preferably, the Duck Hepatitis virus type 1 strain is YBH 1 strain (Duck Hepatitis virus type 1), which was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan on February 20, 2025, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: V202513;
[0010] The Duck Hepatitis virus type 3 strain is YBH 3 strain (Duck Hepatitis virus type Ⅲ), which was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan on February 20, 2025, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: V202514;
[0011] The New Duck Reovirus strain is YBAH-03 strain (New Duck Reovirus), which was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan on February 20, 2025, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: V202511;
[0012] The recombinant baculovirus Re-Bac VP2 strain (Recombinant Baculovirus) expressing the VP2 protein of Duck Parvovirus was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan on February 20, 2025, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: V202512.
[0013] Preferably, the New Duck Reovirus is propagated by inoculating on the chicken liver cancer suspension cell LMH-C (Gallus gallus), and the virus content of the propagated New Duck Reovirus is 10 8.5 TCID 50 / 0.1ml. When preparing the vaccine, it is diluted to 10 5.5 TCID 50 / 0.1ml for use.
[0014] Preferably, the chicken liver cancer suspension cell LMH-C (Gallus gallus) was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan on February 20, 2025, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: C202558.
[0015] Preferably, the oil phase is obtained by uniformly mixing 96±2 parts of mineral oil and 0.67 part of aluminum stearate and heating to 80°C±5°C, then adding 4±2 parts of Span-80, maintaining at 115°C±5°C for 40±5 minutes, and cooling.
[0016] Preferably, when emulsifying the oil phase and the water phase, the volume ratio of the two added is 2:1. Among them, before emulsification, 96.6 ± 2 parts of the mixed antigen solution of the water phase and 3.4 ± 2 parts of sterile Tween-80 are fully mixed to completely dissolve Tween-80.
[0017] The present invention also provides an application of the triple-valent and tetravalent inactivated vaccine according to any one of the above technical solutions in the simultaneous prevention and treatment of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 disease, duck hepatitis A virus type 3 disease, novel duck reovirus disease, and novel duck parvovirus disease.
[0018] Preferably, healthy and susceptible ducks at 1 to 2 days old are immunized by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of 0.5 ml of the triple-valent and tetravalent inactivated vaccine into the neck.
[0019] Preferably, after immunization, 10 / 10 of the duck hepatitis A virus type 1 test ducks are protected, 9 / 10 or more of the duck hepatitis A virus type 3 test ducks are protected, and the serum neutralizing antibody titer is not less than 1:40; 10 / 10 of the novel reovirus test ducks are protected; 9 / 10 or more of the novel duck parvovirus test ducks are protected.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0021] 1. Among the currently commercially available waterfowl vaccines, there is only a bivalent inactivated vaccine for duck hepatitis, and there is no live or inactivated vaccine against novel duck reovirus and novel duck parvovirus. The triple-valent and tetravalent inactivated vaccine prepared by the present invention can not only achieve the purpose of preventing multiple diseases with one injection, reducing the stress reaction of ducks due to immunization with vaccines, but also these four viral diseases are all susceptible to young ducks, and can prevent the invasion of four viruses simultaneously after immunization.
[0022] 2. When the duck hepatitis virus is stored at -80°C, the virus content decreases rapidly and it is difficult to store for a long time. Therefore, when conducting potency tests on the finished product, it is necessary to conduct virulence tests on the virus used for challenge each time in advance. If it does not meet the standard, it needs to be re-prepared, which greatly increases the difficulty and duration of the test. We store the virus used for inspection in liquid nitrogen, and currently, the virus content and virulence have not changed significantly after 36 months of storage (the longer storage period is still in progress).
[0023] 3. Currently, the reported propagation of novel reovirus is all by propagating with adherent cells, harvesting cell cultures, or propagating with embryos, harvesting embryos and allantoic fluid, and grinding to prepare tissue virus, and the titer is generally 10 5.0 ~10 6.0 TCID 50 / 0.1ml (ELD 50 / 0.1 ml). In the present invention, LMH cells were domesticated to obtain a strain of LMH-C cells that can be cultured in suspension, and a propagation process of NDRV on suspended LMH-C cells was successfully explored, increasing the virus content to 10 8.5 TCID 50 / 0.1 ml. Suspended cells do not need to rely on serum for culture, saving production costs and production space, and improving work efficiency. The current virus content is 300 to 3000 times that of cell-derived or embryo-derived virus. The virus cultured without serum has no exogenous proteins, which can reduce the stress response of immunized animals.
[0024] 4. Traditional duck parvovirus can only be propagated in duck embryos or duck embryo fibroblasts, with low yields and high costs. Most research institutions in the literature also mainly focus on the research of inactivated vaccines of the whole virus. The main antigenic epitope of this virus is the VP2 gene. According to the characteristics of this virus, in the present invention, a recombinant baculovirus rSBDS-VP2 strain expressing the VP2 protein of the novel duck parvovirus (commonly known as "duck short dwarf syndrome virus") was constructed using a baculovirus as a vector. The process is as follows: Amplify the VP2 gene with a full length of 1770 bp (optimized), digest and ligate it into the pFastbacHTA vector to obtain a recombinant plasmid containing the VP2 gene. Transform the recombinant plasmid into DH10Bbac competent cells, pick bacmids and perform PCR identification. Transfect the correctly identified bacmids into Sf9 cells. Wait for the cells to swell, increase in volume, and detach, then collect the supernatant and label it as the P1 generation recombinant baculovirus, finally named Re-Bac VP2 strain. Inoculate it into Hi5 insect cells for culture, centrifuge to collect and resuspend the precipitate, ultrasonically disrupt it, and then centrifuge again. Collect the supernatant and use Ni 2+ for chromatography purification to obtain a purified VP2 protein solution with high protein content, a purity of over 80%, good immunogenicity, safety, stability, low production cost, and no biosafety risk in the production process.
[0025] 5. Vaccines prepared according to the aqueous phase formulation ratio and water-oil phase emulsification ratio set in the present invention were used to immunize 10 healthy and susceptible ducks at 3 to 5 days old. Each duck was subcutaneously or intramuscularly injected with 1.0 ml of the vaccine in the neck and observed for 14 days. No local or systemic adverse reactions caused by the vaccine occurred, and the safety was good.
[0026] 6. The vaccine prepared according to the aqueous phase preparation ratio and the water-oil phase emulsification ratio set by the present invention can achieve the best immune protection effect. Among them, 10 / 10 of the test ducks of type 1 duck hepatitis in the immune group are protected, 9 / 10 or more of the test ducks of type 3 duck hepatitis are protected, and the serum neutralizing antibody titer is not less than 1:40. 10 / 10 of the test ducks of novel reovirus are protected, and 9 / 10 or more of the test ducks of novel duck parvovirus are protected (non-excretion). In the control group, 10 / 10 of the test ducks of type 1 duck hepatitis died, 9 / 10 of the test ducks of type 3 duck hepatitis died, 9 / 10 of the test ducks of novel reovirus got sick, and 9 / 10 of the test ducks of novel parvovirus excreted the virus.
[0027] 7. For the currently commercially available bivalent inactivated duck hepatitis vaccine, the serum neutralizing antibody titer in the immune group is not less than 1:24. After immune challenge, 8 / 10 of the test ducks of type 1 and type 3 in the immune group are protected, and 9 / 10 or more of the ducks in the challenge group died, which is lower than the technical effect of the present invention. Detailed implementation mode

[0031] 1.1.1 Isolation and identification of the virulent strain of type 1 duck hepatitis virus YBH1 strain for production and inspection
[0032] 1.1.1.1 Isolation of Duck Hepatitis Virus Type 1 YBH1 Strain for Production and Inspection In around 2009, in a duck farm in Henan, around 10-day-old ducks showed listlessness, convulsions, and acute death. Most of the dead ducks showed opisthotonus and other symptoms. After necropsy of the dead ducks, it was found that the liver was enlarged, brittle and easy to break, mostly yellowish-red, and there were bleeding points or bleeding patches of different sizes on the liver surface. It was preliminarily determined to be duck viral hepatitis. The livers of the diseased ducks were collected, ground, centrifuged, filtered to remove bacteria, and inoculated into the allantoic cavity of 10 - 11-day-old SPF chicken embryos for virus isolation. As a result, after inoculating the chicken embryos, 4 / 5 of the chicken embryos died within 168h; the allantoic fluid and embryos of the dead chicken embryos were collected, homogenized, frozen and thawed 3 times, centrifuged at 4000r / min for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was taken and inoculated into chicken embryos according to the above method. 5 / 5 of the chicken embryos died within 168h; the allantoic fluid and embryos of the dead chicken embryos were collected, homogenized, frozen and thawed 3 times, centrifuged at 4000r / min for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was the harvested virus solution. Samples were taken for PCR, virus content, virulence to chicken embryos, median lethal dose to healthy susceptible ducks, specificity, immune effect, and purity inspection.

[0188] The results show that when type 1 and type 3 duck hepatitis viruses are stored below -20°C, the virus content and the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks both decrease relatively quickly. When stored for 12 months, the virus content of type 1 duck hepatitis virus drops from 10 7.38 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 6.17 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, and the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks drops from 10 6.0 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 10 4.83 LD 50 / 0.5 ml. The virus content of type 3 duck hepatitis virus drops from 10 7.00 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 5.83 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, and the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks drops from 10 5.83 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 10 4.22 LD 50 / 0.5 ml. Compared with 0 months, both indicators decrease by more than 1 titer; when the two viruses are stored below -70°C and stored for 18 months, the virus content of type 1 duck hepatitis virus drops from 10 7.38 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 6.32 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, and the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks drops from 10 6.0 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 104.75 LD 50 / 0.5 ml, the virus content of type 3 duck hepatitis virus decreased from 10 7.00 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 5.78 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks decreased from 10 5.83 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 10 4.32 LD 50 / 0.5 ml. Compared with 0 months, both indicators decreased by more than 1 titer, but the decrease rate was slightly slower than that of the data stored at below -20°C for 12 months. When 2 viruses were stored in liquid nitrogen until 36 months, the virus content of type 1 duck hepatitis virus decreased from 10 7.38 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 7.00 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks decreased from 10 6.0 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 10 5.75 LD 50 / 0.5 ml, the virus content of type 3 duck hepatitis virus decreased from 10 7.00 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml to 10 6.62 ELD 50 / 0.2 ml, the median lethal dose for healthy susceptible ducks decreased from 10 5.83 LD 50 / 0.5 ml to 10 5.50 LD 50 / 0.5 ml. Compared with 0 months, there was no obvious decrease in both indicators. Thus, it can be seen that type 1 and type 3 duck hepatitis viruses can be effectively stored in liquid nitrogen. After being stored for 36 months, their virus content and virulence did not change significantly. Longer storage period tests are still in progress.

The protection rates of the 3 batches of vaccines against type 1 duck hepatitis virus were all 100% (10 / 10 protected) when challenged 16 days after immunization. After challenge, the mental state, food intake, water intake, respiration, feces, and hair of the immunized ducks were all normal. Three of the control ducks died 24 hours after being challenged with type 1 duck hepatitis virus, 4 died 36 hours later, 2 died 48 hours later, and 1 died 60 hours later, and all died within 7 days of the observation period (10 / 10 died). The protection rates of the immunized ducks against type 3 duck hepatitis virus were 90% and above 7 days after challenge (only 9 / 10 protected for batch 01, and 10 / 10 protected for batches 02 and 03). Only 1 experimental duck in batch 01 died 84 hours after being challenged with type 3 duck hepatitis virus, and symptoms of duck hepatitis virus infection were found during autopsy.

Sixteen days after immunization with the triple-valent quadrivalent vaccine and the duck hepatitis bivalent vaccine, half of each immunized group was challenged with Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 strain YBH1. The protection rate of the triple-valent quadrivalent vaccine against strain YBH1 was 100% (10 / 10 protected), and the protection rate of the commercially available duck hepatitis bivalent vaccine against strain YBH1 was 80% (8 / 10 protected), with 20% mortality (2 / 10 died). After the control group was challenged with Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 strain YBH1, 100% of them developed the disease (10 / 10 died). The other half of the immunized group was challenged with Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 strain YBH3. The protection rate of the triple-valent quadrivalent vaccine against strain YBH3 was 90% (9 / 10 protected), with 10% mortality (1 / 10 died). The protection rate of the commercially available duck hepatitis bivalent vaccine against strain YBH3 was 80% (8 / 10 protected), with 20% mortality (2 / 10 died). After the control group was challenged with Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 strain YBH3, 90% of them developed the disease (9 / 10 died). Judging from the immune challenge protection effect, the protection effect of the triple-valent quadrivalent vaccine is better than that of the commercially available duck hepatitis bivalent vaccine.
