Fifteen isolates of Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were obtained from the kidney, trachea, and cecal tonsil of IB suspected chickens between 2001 and 2002 years in Korea. The S1 glycoprotein gene of IBV isolates were amplified by reverse transcriptase - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Fifteen Korean IBV isolates were classified into 4 groups by their RFLP patterns using restriction enzymes, HaeIII, BstYI, and XcmI. The RFLP patterns for 3, 1, and 1 of 15 isolates corresponded to the patterns of IBV Arkansas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts strains, respectively. Ten of 15 isolates generated unique KM91 RFLP pattern that was observed in the IBV KM 91 strain previously isolated in Korea. To confirm genetic diversity in the S1 genes of IBV isolates, viral RNAs of representative 9 of 15 IBV isolates were amplified, cloned, sequenced and compared with published sequences for non-Korean IBV strains. Korean IBV isolates showed amino acid sequence similarity between 61.8% (K446-01 and K161-02) and 96.1% (K281-01 and K210-02) with each other and they showed amino acid sequence similarity between 42.9% (K161-02 and GA980470) and 96.5% (K203-02 and KB8523) compared to non-Korean IBV strains. By phylogenetic tree analysis, Korean IBV field isolates were branched into five clusters in which 3 clusters were differentiated from non-Korean IBV strains. Especially, Korean IBV isolates K069-01, K507-01, K774-01 and K142-02 formed a separate cluster. It seems that IBVs continue to evolve and IBVs showing various genetic differences may cocirculate in Korea.

The spike (S) glycoprotein of coronavirus is responsible for receptor binding and membrane fusion. A number of variants with deletions and mutations in the S protein have been isolated from naturally and persistently infected animals and tissue cultures. Here, we report the emergence and isolation of two temperature sensitive (ts) mutants and a revertant in the process of cold-adaptation of coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) to a monkey kidney cell line. The complete sequences of wild type (wt) virus, two ts mutants, and the revertant were compared and variations linked to phenotypes were mapped. A single amino acid reversion (L294-to-Q) in the S protein is sufficient to abrogate the ts phenotype. Interestingly, unlike wt virus, the revertant grows well at and below 32 degrees C, the permissive temperature, as it carries other mutations in multiple genes that might be associated with the cold-adaptation phenotype. If the two ts mutants were allowed to enter cells at 32 degrees C, the S protein was synthesized, core-glycosylated and at least partially modified at 40 degrees C. However, compared with wt virus and the revertant, no infectious particles of these ts mutants were assembled and released from the ts mutant-infected cells at 40 degrees C. Evidence presented demonstrated that the Q294-to-L294 mutation, located at a highly conserved domain of the S1 subunit, might hamper processing of the S protein to a matured 180-kDa, endo-glycosidase H-resistant glycoprotein and the translocation of the protein to the cell surface. Consequently, some essential functions of the S protein, including mediation of cell-to-cell fusion and its incorporation into virions, were completely abolished.

This paper describes mapping of antigenic and host-protective epitopes of infectious bronchitis virus proteins by assessing the ability of defined peptide regions within the S1, S2 and N proteins to elicit humoral, cell-mediated and protective immune responses. Peptides corresponding to six regions in the S1 (Sp1-Sp6), one in the S2 (Sp7) and four in the N protein (Np1-Np4) were synthesized and coupled to either diphtheria toxoid (dt) or biotin (bt). Bt-peptides were used to assess if selected regions were antigenic and contained B- or T-cell epitopes and dt-peptides if regions induced an antibody response and protection against virulent challenge. All S1 and S2 peptides were antigenic, being recognised by IBV immune sera and also induced an antibody response following inoculation into chicks. Three S1-and one S2-bt peptides also induced a delayed type hypersensitivity response indicating the presence of T-cell epitopes. The S2 peptide Sp7 (amino acid position 566-584) previously identified as an immundominant region, was the most antigenic of all peptides used in this study. Two S1 (Sp4 and Sp6) and one S2 peptide (Sp7), protected kidney tissue against virulent challenge. From four N peptides located in the amino-terminal part of the N protein, only one, Np2 (amino acid position 72-86), was antigenic and also induced a delayed type hypersensitivity response. None of the N peptides induced protection against virulent challenge. The results suggest that the S1 glycoprotein carries additional antigenic regions to those previously identified and that two regions located in the S1 and one in the S2 at amino acid positions 294-316 (Sp4), 532-537 (Sp6) and 566-584 (Sp7) may have a role in protection.

Fourteen infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs) were isolated in Korea between 2001 and 2003 from chickens suspected to be infected with IBVs. The nucleocapsid (N) protein genes of the various IBVs were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and were cloned and sequenced, and the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were compared with published sequences for non-Korean IBV strains. The Korean IBV isolates shared amino acid sequence similarity of between 89.2% (K203-02 and K1255-03) and 98.3% (K434-01 and K281-01) with each other and exhibited amino acid sequence similarity between 57.0% (K774-01 and V18/91) and 96.6% (K507-01 and JP8147) with non-Korean IBV strains. Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced N protein amino acid sequences resulted in the segregation of Korean IBV isolates into three different clusters, with cluster assignments differing for some of the isolates from those obtained with analysis of the S1 glycoprotein. Korean IBV isolates K069-01, K281-01, K434-01, K504-01, K774-01, K748-01, K044-02, K058-02, K161-02, K203-02, and K234-02 formed an independent cluster comprised only of Korean IBV isolates. Another Korean IBV isolate, K210-02, belonged to a cluster that included IBV strains isolated in USA, the Netherlands and China. Recent Korean IBV isolates K514-03 and K1255-03 grouped into a third distinct cluster related to a Chinese IBV strain. As deduced from phylogenetic analysis, some IBV isolates appear to have arisen from the recombination of IBV strains with different origins.

Fragments within S1 genes ((poly100)S1) of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains ZJ971, M41 and SC021202 (SC) were subcloned into a prokaryotic expression vector and expressed in Escherichia coli. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the recombinant (poly100)S1 proteins were produced, characterized and used to analyse epitopes on the S1 subunit of IBV. Nine mAbs raising from the three (poly100)S1 proteins recognized five different epitopes of the S1 subunit, designated as S1-A, B, C, D and E. Epitopes S1-C and S1-D are common for the three IBV strains, while S1-A and S1-B exist on ZJ971 and M41 strains, and S1-E was a strain-specific epitope for SC strain. Immunocytochemistry indicated that all the mAbs to the (poly100)S1 proteins can react with the homologous S1 glycoprotein expressed in Vero cells. Moreover neutralization test demonstrated that only mAbs 6E2, 4F9 and 6G4 had neutralization activity for the homologous IBV. These mAbs to (poly100)S1 protein were potential candidates for detecting and distinguishing IBV strains, and also used to examine antigenic variation of the S1 protein.

Glycoprotein Si was the major protein to determine infection and immunogenicity of Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). The S1 glycoprotein gene of IBV isolates were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and proved to be S1 gene by sequencing. The E. coli-mycobacterium expression shuttle plasmid pR-alpha-S1 was constructed by inserting the S1 gene to the pRR3 with human mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 promoter and a signal peptide. Then the plasmid pR-alpha-S1 was introduced into mycobacterium bovis BCG by electroporation to construct a recombinate strain rBCG-Sl. The S1 protein could be highly expressed in M. smegmatis mc2 155 when induced by heating and was detected by ELISA and Western blot assays using monoclonal antibody against S1 glycoprotein of IBV. 6 week-old SPF chicken were subcutaneously immunized with 10(6) cfu rBCG-S1 and each chick was immunized three times at 3 week intervals with the same antigen used for the primary immunization. The protective immunity of rBCG-S1 was identified in vaccinated chickens. Results from the protection test showed the two immunizations with rBCG-S1 could provide protection for chickens from the challenge with virulent nephropathogenic IBV strain X. Haemagglutination inhibition titers were also increased in chickens immunized with the expressed rBCG-S1, and significantly higher titers were detected after challenge. These data indicate that the rBCG-S1 could be used as candidate of a live vector vaccine for NIBV.

Twelve Korean infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs) were isolated in the field from chickens suspected of being carriers of infectious bronchitis between 2001 and 2003. The S1 glycoprotein genes of these IBV isolates were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) and analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. These Korean IBV isolates were classified into three groups according to their RFLP patterns obtained using the restriction enzyme HaeIII. Half of the twelve isolates were similar to the KM91 RFLP pattern, which is a common pattern in Korea. Three more isolates were related to the Arkansas strain pattern, but with some unique variations. The other three viruses showed variant RFLP patterns. For a comparison with the published sequences for non-Korean IBV strains, amplified PCR products from the twelve isolates were cloned and sequenced. The Korean IBV field isolates had 71.2-99.7% nucleotide sequence homology with each other and 45.9-80.7% nucleotide sequence homology with non-Korean IBV strains. With respect to the deduced amino acid sequence, the Korean IBV isolates had 71.5-99.3% similarity with each other and 44.9-80.3% similarity with non-Korean IBV strains. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that some of the IBV isolates appear to belong to a new group, different from the non-Korean IBV strains or from previously isolated Korean IBV strains. Specifically, the new Korean IBV isolates K10217-03, K3-3 and K1255-03 represented a separate group. These findings suggest that the Korean IBVs appear to be continuously evolving.

In this study, we were interested in determining if high titered egg adapted modified live infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccines contain spike gene related quasispecies that undergo selection in chickens, following vaccination. We sequenced the spike glycoprotein of 12 IBV vaccines (5 different serotypes from 3 different manufacturers) directly from the vaccine vial, then compared that sequence with reisolated viruses from vaccinated and contact-exposed birds over time. We found differences in the S1 sequence within the same vaccine serotype from different manufacturers, differences in S1 sequence between different vaccine serials from the same manufacturer, and intra-vaccine differences or quasispecies. Comparing the sequence data of the reisolated viruses with the original vaccine virus, we were able to identify in vivo selection of viral subpopulations as well as mutations. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing selection of a more fit virus subpopulation as well as mutations associated with replication of modified live IBV vaccine viruses in chickens. This information is important for our understanding of how attenuated virus vaccines, including potential vaccines against the SARS-CoV, can ensure long-term survival of the virus and can lead to changes in pathogenesis and emergence of new viral pathogens. This information is also valuable for the development of safer modified live coronavirus vaccines.

The notion that the S1 subunit of the spike glycoprotein (S) of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the major inducer of protective immunity has been examined. Groups of 10 1-day-old chicks were vaccinated with isolate UK/6/82 and challenged in-tranasally 3 or 6 weeks later with strains whose S1 protein differed from that of UK/6/82 to different extents: NL/D207/79, UK/142/86 and UK/167/84 (2%), UK/123/82 (4%), UK/918/67 (19%), USA/M41/41 and Portugal/322/82 (20%; both of the Massachusetts serotype), and NL/D1466/79 (49%). Four days after challenge tracheas were removed and observed for ciliary activity. Overall, the degree of cross-protection induced by UK/6/82 diminished as the similarity of the S1 proteins diminished, although in only two cases was the protection induced statistically less (P< 0.10) against the heterologous isolates than against the homologous strain. Even when a group as a whole was poorly protected against heterologous challenge, some individual chicks, including some challenged with D1466, exhibited high protection of the trachea. Conversely, in groups where protection was high overall, a few individuals were poorly protected. The results broadly support the view that differences in the sequence of the S1 protein do contribute to the ability of an IBV strain to break through the immunity induced by another strain. However, they also indicate that some conserved sequences in S1 and/or epitopes in the other, less variable, proteins also contribute to immunity. Moreover, individual chicks can differ greatly in their response to vaccination with IBV, a factor which should not be overlooked.

Chickens were vaccinated with live and inactivated infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and antibody responses to the individual structural proteins, S1, S2, M and N, followed by ELISA and western blotting. All four structural proteins elicited an antibody response in chicks vaccinated with either live or inactivated IBV. The S1, S2 and N proteins elicited similar titres of antibodies following vaccination with live IBV, whereas the M glycoprotein elicited significantly lower titres. Time of appearance and the course of development of the S1, S2 and N ELISA antibodies were similar, being first detected 2 weeks after vaccination and coincided with appearance of virus neutralizing antibodies. The M antibodies were first detected 4 weeks after vaccination. S1, S2, and N antibody titres were significantly higher in chicks vaccinated at 14 days of age than in chicks vaccinated at either 1 or 7 days of age, and reached maximum levels 4 weeks after the second vaccination. The S1, S2 and N proteins induced cross-reactive antibodies, whereas the M glycoprotein induced antibodies of limited cross-reactivity. Titres of cross-reactive N antibodies were higher than titres of cross-reactive S1 and S2 antibodies, which were similar. Epitopes on the N and S2 proteins that gave rise to cross-reactive antibodies showed the same degree of conservation, whereas the cross-reactive S1 epitopes were marginally less conserved. Vaccination with inactivated virus induced significantly lower antibody titres and at least three vaccinations were necessary for induction of S1, S2, N and M antibodies in all chicks. The S2 glycoprotein was the most immunogenic structural protein following vaccination with inactivated virus. All four proteins induced cell-mediated immune responses in chicks vaccinated with live IBV as determined by a delayed type hypersensitivity response.
