ABSTRACT
Objective Study the fecal flora diversity of the tree shrew , to provide a basis data of fecal bacteria of feeding the tree shrew .Methods Ten tree shrews were used in this study .The Stools of the animals were respectively cultured with oxygen and without oxygen to isolate the bacterial .Then the PCR-amplified 16S rRNA of the bacterial was sequenced and analyzed .Results 25 bacterial strains belonging to ten bacterial species were isolated by anaerobic incubation , and 25 bacterial strains belonging to twelve bacterial species were isolated by aerobic incubation .Proteus vulgaris, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia fergusonii, Enterococcus faecium, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus , Aeromonas salmonicida subsp .masoucida , Rahnella aquatilis , Exiguobacterium aquaticum , Raoultella terrigena , and Escherichia coli were identified in this study .Conclusions There is a fecal flora diversity of the tree shrew, and the Proteus vulgaris , Escherichia fergusonii and Enterococcus faecium may be the major parasitic flora .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the immunostimulatory effects and the number of immunostimulatory sequence(ISS) in CpG immunostimulatory DNA.Methods:Mice were immunized by HAV inactive vaccine together with three kinds of CpG ODN which contains 2,4,8 ISS respectively by intraperitoneal injection. At the weeks 4,6,8 after immunization, peripheral blood was obtained from the tail vein of mice and assayed for anti HAV IgG by the fully automated microparticle enzymeimmunoassay.Results:The immunogenicity of HAV inactive vaccine can be boost up by CpG ODN which contains 2 ISS, CpG ODN which contains 4 ISS did not show any immunostimulatory effect, act as an adjuvant, but CpG ODN which contains 8 ISS showed inhibiting the immunological effect of the vaccine.Conclusion:Adequate length of CpG ODN(when it contains 2 ISS) can act as an effective immunostimulator adjuvant, and it might decrease the immunogenicity of the vaccine if it contains much more ISS.
