Abstract
MonocloiMl iinlibodies (Mabs) were raised against the vaccine strain of DPV and three strains of DPV Mz, Vaccine (OPV^V). IVRl (DPV-1) and
Alleppy strain (DPV-A) were used to raise polyclonal serum in tite present
investigation.
DPV-V was revived in 11 day old chicken enibiyo and the enibrjo
deatli was recorded four to five days PI with congestion all over the body
and spleen and nccrotic foci in liver. The cytopathy in CEF cell culture
observed was rounding and clumping of the cells, syncytium formation and
bridge fonriation with extensive vacuolation m the Cytoplasm. The
detachment of the cells was observed at 120 h PI.
1)PV-1 a virulent strain was inocnlaied in the ducklings, death was
recorded in all the inoculated birds with extensive hemorrhages on serous
membranes, muscles and visceral organs. Nccrotic foci on li\ei,
enlargement and congestion of liver and spleen, and white necrotic foci m
the gizzard were evident. The virus was further passaged in DDE and
cultivated in bulk in DEP cell culture.
The Dl'V-V and Dl'V-A were titrated in Clil' cell cultnie and the
TCin,o was 4.7 X 10' per nd of the inoeulnm lor DPV-V and 3.2 X lO' for
I)PV-A. ni'V-i cultivated in Did' cell culture had a IC 11),,i
of the inoculum
All the strains were partially purified at 100000 g for 4.5 h at 4" C in
Heekman ultra centrifuge and the protein concentration of the virus was
estimated by biuret method and was found to he 1 1 mg. 8 mg and 7 mg for
DPV-V, A and I respectively.
All the three strains of DPV were inoculated in mice to raise
polyclonal serum. Four mice out of five inoculated with DPV-V showed
FJdSA titres more than 1:12800, one mouse showed a litre of 1:6400. The
mice inoculated witi* DPV-A showed a litre of more than 1:12800 and those
inoculated with DPV-I, 1:6400
FddSA was used to test the sera samples of the miee inoculated with
DPV strains. The test was found to be highly sensitive, easy to perlorm
and less time consuming. The test therefore can be recommended for routine
diagnosis of DPV
I'olyclonal seiuin was used to study ll'.c cross reactivitv of the three
strains oC I)PV with FIJSA. DI'V-V polyclonal scrum reacted with the
liomologous virus with a titre of 1:12800. It also showed similar titer with
other two heterologous strains. I'olyclonal serum raised against DI'V-A had a
titre of 1:12800 with homologous and hcterologuus strains of DI'V. DPV-I
reacted with Immnhigous strain at a titre uf 1:6400 Similar titrcs were
observed with hertologous strains.
Immiino pero.xidase test was used for the detection of the tissue
antigens in DPV infected CEF monolayers and in liver and spleen sections.
Polyclonal serum raised against DPV-V detected homologous virus in the
CF.F monolayers and hetrologous virus in the liver and spleen sections. The
staining reaction was observed as dark brown deposits at the virus
localization. However background tissue was also stained brown to faint
yellow in the stained preparation.
The virus neutralization test was used to study the cross
neutralization by employing polyclonal .serum raised against the three strains
of DPV. Polyclonal serurTi raised against DPV-V showed a VN F of 64 with a
VNl of 1.8 with homologous virus and a VN F 45 with VNI 1.65 with other
two strains of DPV. Polyclonal serum raised against DPV-A neutralized the
homologous virus at a titre of 32 with a VNl of 1.5. it also neutnrlized the
vacciiic strain nf DI'V with same VNT and VNI, However it neutralized
DPV-1 with VN I' 24 and VNI 1.35. Dl'V-i poiyclonal serum neutralized the
homologous virus at a titre of 45 with a VNI of 1.65 . I he s.iiue neutralized
DPV-V and DPV-A with a VN T 32 and VNI 1.5.
