Objective: To explore the inhibitory effects and the potential mechanism of silver nanoparticles against parainfluenza virus type 3(PIV3). Methods: Cell culture, MTT test assay and immune fluorescence assay were applied to evaluate the antiPIV3 activities of silver nanoparticles in preventing, treating and directly inactivating. The neuraminidase activity inhibition test was used to study the inhibitory effect of silver nanoparticles on PIV3 neuraminidase activity; destructive effect of silver nanoparticles on PIV3  was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM); murine experiment was performed to observe the pathological changes of mouse lung tissues in vivo. Results: The survival rates of canine kidney cells(MDCK) were 93.05%,90.32% and 94.81%, respectively, under three different administration(treatment to medicine group, preventive medication group, direct inactivating group) of silver nanoparticles by MTT assay, while the cell livability in control group was 25.50%, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). MDCK cells infected with PIV3 had more specific yellowishgreen immunofluorescence  compared with the cells treated with silver nanoparticles in virucidal, antiviral and inactivating ways. The inhibition rate of neuraminidase activity on silver nanoparticles treatment group was higher than 80%, while the PIV3 control group and the solvent group were lower than 20%. The results of TEM showed that silver nanoparticles had an obvious destructive effect on PIV3 in a timedependence. Compared with the normal lung tissues, the pathological changes in the mice treated with the silver nanoparticles were similar or less severe, while the lung tissues from the virus model group presented with edema, inflammatory cell infiltrating and morphological structure disappearing. Conclusion: Silver nanoparticles had remarkably inhibitory effects on PIV3 and the possible mechanisms may be associated with the neuraminidase inhibition and virion damage by silver nanoparticles.

ZHU Hong, Chen-Cheng, Ling-Feng, Shao-Chen, Yu-Min, Shao-Shi-He
Objective: To prepare and characterize the monoclonal antibody(mAb) against Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) CagL protein. Methods:  The CagL fusion protein was induced to express by IPTG in E.coli BL21(DE3) which contains recombinant expression vector pET-28a (+) and then purified by Ni2+-NTA resin. Purified CagL fusion protein was used to immunize 6week BALB/c mice, and then the spleen cells were fused with myeloma SP2/0 cells; the positive hybridoma cell lines were obtained by means of several rounds of subclone. Immunoglobulin isotype of mAb was identified by ELISA method. The titer of mAbs in cell culture supernatant and ascites, as well as the relative affinity of these antibodies, were measured by indirect ELISA method. The antigenic epitopes of mAbs were evaluated with ELISA additivity test. The specificity for antibody was determined by Western blotting. The stability of hybridoma cell lines specifically secreting mAbs was tested by cryopreservation and resuscitation. Results: Three hybridoma cell lines which could secrete stably mAbs against CagL were successfully obtained. The isotype of two mAbs was classified as IgM, another IgG2a, and the light chain subset of three mAbs was classified as type κ. The titers of three mAbs in cell culture supernatant were 1∶64~1∶128, while those in ascites reached more than 1∶16 000. The affinities of mAbs were found to be high. Three different antigenic epitopes might be recognized by the mAbs. Western blotting analysis showed that all three mAbs could bind to the CagL fusion protein; however, only two of them had specific reaction with the whole protein extracted from H.pylori strains. After cryopreservation, resuscitation and subculture, the titers of mAbs secreted by three hybridoma cell lines were still high. Conclusion: The monoclonal antibody against CagL protein was successfully prepared, which would play a significant role for the further study in the mechanisms of CagL as well as H.pylori type Ⅳ secretion system.
