6、N Human coronaviruses OC43 and 229E are well known as etiological agents of respiratory infec- tions generally affecting the upper respiratory tract and responsible for common colds during winter-spring seasons Isolation of these viruses is particularly difficult and, consequently, all epidemiologic
7、al and reliable data about their diffusion are based upon serological studies performed using reference strains of cell culture adapted coronaviruses. To date, viruses are included in the coronavirus group for some properties (14) : i) the presence of one molecu!e of infectious ssRNA of MW ranging f
8、rom 5.5xl06 and 6.1xl06 daltons with polyadenylated 3 terminus; 1 Corresponding author. ii) morphology showing pleomorphic enve- loped particles with diameter ranging from 80 to 160 nm and surface projections (spikes) pro.truding 12-24 nm from envelope; iii) common physicochemicai properties such as
9、 banding at 1.1.6.-1.23 g/cm 3 in sucrose gradients, disruption bv ether, chloroform, and detergents, removal of surface projections by bromelain and trypsin. Consequently, viruses could be included in the coronavirus group independently of their antigenic cross-reaction but, particu!arly, for their
10、 charac- teristic morphology (spikes), as revealed by electron microscopy. Human coronavirus OC43 and 229E are the prototypes of all coronaviruses affecting humans. No particular relatedness has been, to date, re- 112 Vol. 2. 1986 Antibody to coronavims 229E OC43 and NCDCV ported between these two v
11、iruses; furthermore, in vitro, 229E shows an easy growth in human lung fibroblast cell cultures with evident cytopathogenic effect; on the other hand, OC43 can grow in cell cultures (VERO cells or human fibroblast cell cultures) only after adaptation of virus strains cultured in suckling mouse brain
12、. Despite their morphological and antigenic differences, these viruses are responsible, in humans, for common colds not easily distinguishable by symptoms or seasonality of appearence. Previous reports showed a high prevalence of antibody to human OC43 and 229E coronavirus in sera collected from pat
13、ients of northern Italy (1, 2). Results were obtained using very complex tests such as Immune-Adherence Hemag- glutination (IAHA), in the case of 229E specific antibody detection, or not highly sensitive and reliable tests, as complement-fixation and hemag- glutination-inhibition, for OC43 antibody
14、detec- tion (1, 2). Another interesting test was utilized for serodiagnosis of OC43 infection, based upon a microneutralization method, but, despite its high degree of specificity and sensitivity, its perfor- mance was economically very expensive (3). Furthermore, the presence of a non specific inhi
15、b- itor for OC43 and NCDCV coronavirus present in mammalian sera and in fetal calf serum ,(FGS) that can be removed by phospholipase C (PLC) treatment, prompted us to develop a new sensitive and specific hemagglutination inhibition test and a new plaque reduction assay (4). By the use of these new t
16、ests foc OC43 and by an indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique (IIP), for 229E, we carried out a seroepiderniologic study in order to verify previously reported data (2, 3). In addition, the strict antigenic relatedness between OC43 and NCDCV (5) suggested the investigation of the prevalence o
17、f a human immune response against this bovine virus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Viruses Coronavirus 229E was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC - Rockville, Md., USA) and adapted to grow in human embryo lung fibroblast cells (HELF). OC43 and NCDCV coronaviruses were cell culture adapted
18、 strains originally obtained from suckling mouse brain adapted virus supplied by Dr. H.S. Kaye (C.D.C., Respiratory Virology Unit, Atlanta, Ga., USA) and Dr. C.A. Mebus, (Dept. of Veterinary Science, University of Nebraska, Lin- coln, Neb., 68503). Adaptation to growth in HELF has been previously re
19、ported (5). Sela Three hundred and twenty nine sera were collected from hospitalized patients and healthy persons having routine laboratory tests in the University Hospital of Pavia, Italy. Sera from six age groups were studied for specific antibody to 229E, OC43 and NCDCV coro- naviruses. A number
20、of sera were also collected from leukemic infants and children. Indirect immunoperoxidase saining technique (IIP) HELF cells were cultured in sterile microplates for tissue culture; when the monolayer was confluent, all cell wells were infected with 0.05 ml of a suspension of 22qE containing 100 inf
21、ec- tious virus particles, incubated at 33C for 60 rain. To each well was then added 0.l ml of 199 medium containing 2% fetal calf serum. Infected cultures were incubated at 33C for 36 hours, washed 3 times with PBS Du!becco B and then fixed with absolute ethanol. Fixed preparations were immediately
22、 used for HP or stored at -70C until use. IIP for specific human antibody detection was performed as previously described for other viruses (5-8), except that the 3-amino -9-ethyl- carbazole-H202 colour developing system was used.

23、V was detected by HI following a reported procedure (10) and a suggested treatment of sera in order to avoid non-specific inhibitors of OC43 and NCDCV hemagglutination (9), except that the inactivation of phospholipase C (PLC) with heat treatment (56C for 60 rain) was used in substi- tution of phena
24、nthroline treatment. Plaque reduction assay ( PRA). PRA for OC43 and NCDCV antibody detection was performed as previously described (4). Briefly, a titered virus suspension, known to contain 40-50 infectious units of virus, was mixed with an equal volume of serial twofold dilution of .PLC - treated
25、sera diluted in serum - free 199 medium with addition of glutamine, penicillin, streptomycin and gentamycin. Mixtures were incubated at 33C for 60 rain and then inoculated in wells of microplate cell culture of HELF (0.05 rot/well). After adsorption at 33C for 60 rain, plaquing medium (medium 199 wi
26、th fetal calf serum at the final concentration of 10% and 5% for OC43 and NCDCV, respective- ly), was added for 24 h and then cells were fixed with absolute ethanol and stained by the indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique described using mouse hyperimmune sera. 113 Cereda P.M. et al.

27、Epidemiol. RESULTS As reported in Figure 1, antibody to 229E coronavirus was present in a high percentage of sera studied; its prevalence and the specific antibody titer increased with increasing age. Antibody titers in leukemic patients seemed to be consistently lower than in other patients (Fi- gu
28、re 1). The results obtained were not particularly different from those observed in previous reports (2, 11, 12), except for the fact that, because of the greater sensitivity of IIP technique used, antibody titers were greater. Furthermore, the IIP test was very easy to read, as shown in Figure 2, ve
29、ry simple to perform and can avoid some problems (i.e. false results and/or difficulties in interpreting data) frequently occurring using other conventional and tedious methods like comple- ment fixation and immune adherence hemagglu- tination. Finally, the IIP technique for 229E antibody detection
