Abstract
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and severe infectious disease that can lead to hemorrhagic enteritis and even acute death in dogs. Despite mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been employed in clinical treatment, their application in non-murine species is restricted due to immune rejection. In this study, we screened a mouse mAb (5E7) with high neutralizing activity against CPV using hybridoma technology. Subsequently, the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains of 5E7 were amplified by PCR and fused with the constant regions of canine IgG antibody to produce canine-mouse chimeric antibody (CM-5E7). The chimeric antibody was successfully expressed in HEK293 cells and exhibited high neutralizing activity against multiple CPV subtypes in vitro. Furthermore, CM-5E7 exhibited effective therapeutic potential in dogs subjected to lethal dose CPV-2c challenge in vivo. Overall, CM-5E7 demonstrated high neutralizing activity against CPV and showed significant efficacy in treating CPV-2c infections, positioning it as a promising candidate therapeutic antibody for the treatment of CPV infection.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
