A supply of practical and economical antibodies against the rabies virus is being desired worldwide. We immunized hens with the antigen gene DNA of the rabies virus, purified specific IgY antibodies from the egg yolk, and characterized the immuno-protein chemistry for use as a diagnosis. To prepare specific IgY antibodies against rabies virus nucleoprotein (RV-N) by DNA immunization, laying hens were pre-injected with λ-carrageenan or Freund's complete adjuvant to increase local immune activity (pre-immune stimulation), and then immunized with RV-N recombinant plasmid DNA. RV-N-specific IgY antibodies were prepared from egg yolks of immunized hens. For comparison, conventional protein antigen immunization was also used to induce the production of RV-N-specific IgY antibodies. Laying hens were immunized with an RV-N protein antigen and RV-N-specific IgY was purified from egg yolks. The binding activity against RV-N antigens was examined using IgY samples prepared by DNA (with pre-immune stimulation) and protein immunization. Immunohistochemical staining showed that IgY antibodies prepared by protein immunization strongly detected viral antigens in the brain sections of dogs infected with the virus, whereas IgY antibodies prepared by DNA immunization did not. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed using a commercially available rabies vaccine (inactivated virus) treated with 10% formalin and heating (60°C, 30 min and 90°C, 5 min). IgY prepared by DNA immunization had weaker reactivity with denatured antigens and lower antigen concentrations than IgY prepared by protein immunization. These results suggest that it is necessary to develop a DNA immunization method for inducing IgY antibodies against the rabies virus that strongly bind to native and denatured antigens to prepare specific IgYs that can be used for antigen detection in clinical tests.</p>","PeriodicalId":16883,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"60 2","pages":"2023014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/84/01/jpsa-60-2023014.PMC10270695.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9663742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
