isolation and genetic characterization of bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 from cattle in china
Veterinary Microbiology, 2011Co-Authors: Wen Hua Xiang, Jun Ke Feng, Li Ping ZhaoAbstract:Bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) is one of the most important of the known viral respiratory pathogens of both young and adult cattle. However BPIV3 has not been detected or isolated in China prior to this study. In 2008, four BPIV3 strains were isolated with MDBK cells from cattle in China and characterized by RT-PCR, nucleotide sequence analysis, transmission electron microscope observation, hemadsorption and Hemagglutination Tests. Nucleotide phylogenetic analysis of partial hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene for four isolates and the complete genome for the SD0835 isolate implicated that the four Chinese BPIV3 strains were distinct from the previously reported genotype A (BPIV3a) and genotype B (BPIV3b) and might be a potentially new genotype, which was tentatively classified as genotype C (BPIV3c). This is the first study to report the isolation and genetic characterization of BPIV3 from cattle in China.

abo secretor and lewis histo blood group systems influence the digestive form of chagas disease
Infection Genetics and Evolution, 2016Co-Authors: Cassia Rubia Bernardo, Ana Vitoria Da Silveira Camargo, Luis Sergio Ronchi, Amanda Priscila De Oliveira, Eumildo De Campos, Aldenis Albaneze Borim, Cinara Cassia Brandao De Mattos, Reinaldo B Bestetti, Luiz Carlos De MattosAbstract:Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, can affect the heart, esophagus and colon. The reasons that some patients develop different clinical forms or remain asymptomatic are unclear. It is believed that tissue immunogenetic markers influence the tropism of T. cruzi for different organs. ABO, Secretor and Lewis histo-blood group systems express a variety of tissue carbohydrate antigens that influence the susceptibility or resistance to diseases. This study aimed to examine the association of ABO, secretor and Lewis histo-blood systems with the clinical forms of Chagas disease. We enrolled 339 consecutive adult patients with chronic Chagas disease regardless of gender (cardiomyopathy: n=154; megaesophagus: n=119; megacolon: n=66). The control group was composed by 488 healthy blood donors. IgG anti-T. cruzi antibodies were detected by ELISA. ABO and Lewis phenotypes were defined by standard Hemagglutination Tests. Secretor (FUT2) and Lewis (FUT3) genotypes, determined by Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), were used to infer the correct histo-blood group antigens expressed in the gastrointestinal tract. The proportions between groups were compared using the χ2 test with Yates correction and Fisher's exact test and the Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) were calculated. An alpha error of 5% was considered significant with p-values <0.05 being corrected for multiple comparisons (pc). No statistically significant differences were found for the ABO (X2: 2.635; p-value=0.451), Secretor (X2: 0.056; p-value=0.812) or Lewis (X2: 2.092; p-value=0.351) histo-blood group phenotypes between patients and controls. However, B plus AB Secretor phenotypes were prevalent in pooled data from megaesophagus and megacolon patients (OR: 5.381; 95% CI: 1.230-23.529; p-value=0.011; pc=0.022) in comparison to A plus O Secretor phenotypes. The tissue antigen variability resulting from the combined action of ABO and Secretor histo-blood systems is associated with the digestive forms of Chagas disease.

Genotipagem dos sistemas Kell, Duffy, Kidd e RHD em pacientes com beta Talassemia
Associação Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia e Terapia Celular, 2000Co-Authors: Castilho Lilian, Rios Maria, Pellegrino Jr Jordão, Carvalho Maria H. M., Alberto Fernando L., Saad Sara T. O., Costa Fernando F.Abstract:Determination of Rh, Kell, Duffy and Kidd phenotypes in addition to ABO is used to prevent the alloimmunization to red blood cells (RBCs) antigens and as part of the antibody identification process in patients with beta Thalassemia. However, phenotyping in these patients can be time consuming and difficult to interpret. In these situations, it would be valuable to have an alternative to Hemagglutination Tests to determine the patient's antigen profile. We used PCR-RFLP to genotype such patients. DNA was prepared from 50 patients with beta Thalassemia who had been phenotyped by routine Hemagglutination, and tested for Kell, Kidd, Duffy/GATA mutation by PCR-RFLP. RHD/non-D was analysed by PCR product size associated to RHD gene sequence in intron 4 and exon 10/3'UTR. The genotyping assays were performed without knowledge of phenotype results. For RHD/non-D, 47 were RhD+ and RHD+/RHCE+, and 3 were RhD- and RHD-/RHCE+. For Kell, 48 kk were K2K2 and 2 Kk were K1K2. For Duffy, of 44 samples that had normal GATA box, 8 Fy(a+b-) were FYA/FYA, 15 Fy(a+b+) were FYB/FYB, and 19 Fy(a+b+) were FYA/FYB; of the other 4 samples 3 were FYA/FYB and heterozygous GATA mutation, and 1 Fy(a-b-) was FYB/FYB, homozygous GATA mutation. Two samples phenotyped as Fy(a+b-) that had normal GATA , presented the 265T/298A mutations and two samples phenotyped as Fy(a-b+) were genotyped was FYA/FYB.. For Kidd , 15 Jk(a+b) were JKA/JKA, 12 Jk(a-b+) were JKB/JKB, and 20 Jk(a+b+) were JKA/JKB. Three samples phenotyped as JK(a+b+) were genotyped as JKB/JKB. Genotype is more accurate than phenotype for determination of blood groups in polytransfused patients with betaThalassemia. Genotyping in these patients can be helpful to select antigen-negative RBCs for transfusion.A determinação dos fenótipos Rh, Kell, Duffy e Kidd, associada ao ABO é utilizada para prevenir a aloimunização a antígenos eritrocitários e participam também no processo de identificação de anticorpos nos pacientes com beta talassemia. Todavia, a fenotipagem desses pacientes é trabalhosa e de difícil interpretação. Nesta situação, deve ser avaliada uma alternativa ao teste de hemaglutinação para determinar o padrão antigênico dos pacientes. Utilizamos para tal fim o método PCR-RFLP. Foram preparados DNAs de 50 pacientes com beta talassemia que haviam sido anteriormente fenotipados pela hamglutinação e testados para Kell, Kidd, Duffy/GATA mutação por PCR-RFLP. RHD/não-D foi analisado pelo tamanho do produto, do PCR associado à seqüência do gene RHD no intron 4 e exon 10/3' UTR. Os testes de genotipagem foram realizados sem o conhecimento dos resultados dos fenótipos. Para os RHD/não-D, 47 foram RhD+ e RHD+/RHCE+, e 3 foram RhD- e RHD-/RHCE+. Para o Kell, 48 kk foram K2K2 e 2 Kk foram K1K2. Para o Duffy, das 44 amostras que haviam sido normais, GATA box, 8 Fy(a+b-) foram FYA/FYA, 15 Fy(a+b-) foram FYB/FYB e 19 Fy(a+b+) foram FYA/FYB; das outras 4 amostras, 3 foram FYA/FYB e heterozigoto GATA mutação, e 1 Fy(a-b-) era FYB/FYB, homozigoto GATA mutação. Duas amostras fenotipadas como Fy(a+b-), que eram normais GATA, apresentavam as mutações 265T/298A e 2 amostras fenotipadas como Fy(a-b+) haviam sido genotipadas como FYA/FYB. Para o Kidd, 15 Jk(a+b-) foram JKA/JKA, 12 Jk(a-b+) foram JKB/JKB, e 20 Jk(a+b+) foram JKA/JKB. Três amostras fenotipadas como JK(a+b+) haviam sido genotipadas como JKB/JKB. A genotipagem é mais acurada que a fenotipagem para determinação de grupos sangüíneos em pacientes portadores de beta talassemia politransfundidos. A genotipagem nesses pacientes pode ser importante para selecionar hemácias antigenicamente negativas para transfusão de glóbulos vermelhos
