摘要
Comparative studies on naturally occurring avian influenza virus were carried out in order to investigate the determinant(s) for pathogenicity for chickens. At least 1 virus isolate from each of the 9 different hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes was included. The polypeptides of these viruses were studied by analyzing infected cell extracts on SDS[sodium dodecyl sulfate]-polyacrylamide gels. Both viral glycoproteins, HA and neuraminidase, showed remarkable variation in their electrophoretic mobility even among serologically closely related viruses. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that most avian influenza virus strains had an HA which was not susceptible to proteolytic cleavage in [Madin-Darby canine kidney] MDCK, turkey (TEC) and chicken embryo cells (CEC). Only viruses belonging to the subtype Hav5 and some strains of the subtype Hav1 possessed a cleaved HA in these cells. Only the virus strains with cleaved HA were produced in infectiious form in MDCK, CEC, TEC, and in duck embryo cells (DEC) and quail embryo cells (QEC). The other virus strains produced plaques in these cells only in the presence of trypsin. There was a strict correlation between the cleavability of the HA, the potential of the virus to be produced in infectious form in a wide range of host cells and their pathogenicity for chickens. No evidence was obtained for an involvement of the neuraminidase in determining pathogenicity. For the nonpathogenic viruses it could be shown that they can replicate and produce infectious progeny in some organs of the chicken. The results obtained permit the conclusion that in naturally occurring avian influenza viruses the structure of the hemagglutinin, that is its susceptibility to proteolytic cleavage in a broad spectrum of host cells, is the determining factor for pathogenicity.
