胆固醇是维持细胞膜脂筏稳定结构重要组分。一些囊膜病毒感染过程依赖胆固醇。研究利用Real Time PCR和病毒滴度试验,分析细胞膜和病毒囊膜胆固醇是否影响鸡传染性支气管炎病毒(IBV)感染鸡胚肾(CEK)细胞。结果表明,胆固醇萃取剂甲基-β-环糊精去除细胞膜胆固醇后,可抑制IBV感染CEK细胞并呈剂量依赖性,补充外源性胆固醇后,IBV感染力部分恢复,说明IBV感染依赖细胞膜胆固醇;去除细胞膜胆固醇可影响IBV感染侵入和释放过程。去除病毒囊膜胆固醇对IBV感染力无显著影响。IBV感染CEK细胞时依赖细胞膜胆固醇,而非病毒囊膜胆固醇。
Avian infectious bronchitis(IB)is an acute and highly contagious disease caused by infectious bronchitis virus(IBV).In the study,according to IBV gene sequences published in Gen Bank,specific primers were designed to clone N gene by RT-PCR,and this gene was inserted into p ET-30a(+)vector resulting in a prokaryotic expression plasma p ET-30a-N.The results of SDS-PAGE and Western Blot analysis showed that the recombinant protein was expressed successfully and had good reactivity with IBV positive serum.Using purified recombinant N protein as a coating antigen,the indirect ELISA protocol was established and optimized,in which N protein was 2.5μg·m L^-1 of concentration,sample serum of 1:40 dilution.For clinical specimen,the IBV antibodies could be detected by this method efficiently and got nearly the same results as those of IBV-mediated ELISA.It would provide a good tool for rapid diagnosis and epidemiological study of avian infectious bronchitis.

Japanese encephalitis virus（JEV） is a significant causative agent of arthropod-borne encephalitis and what is less clear that the factors cause the virus wide spread. The objective was to confirm whether the homologous recombination imposed on JEV. The phylogenetic and homologous recombination analyses were performed based on 163 complete JEV genomes which were recently isolated. They were still separated into five genotypes（GI-GV） and the most of recently isolated JEVs were GI rather than GIII in Asian areas including China's Mainland. Two recombinant events were identified in JEV and the evidence of the recombination was observed between China and Japan isolates that partitioned into two distinct subclades, but still the same genotype（GIII）. Our data further suggested that most of the nucleotides in JEV genome were under negative selection; however, changes within codon 2 316（amino acid NS4b-44） showed an evidence of the positive selection.
