The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Archived paraffin-embedded lymphoid tissue samples from seventy five experimental PRRSV-infected pigs were examined for PRRSV antigen and IFN-γ positive cells, using immunohistochemistry. Lymphoid tissues (5 pigs/group) including spleen, tracheobronchial lymph nodes and tonsil came from negative control pigs (group 1), low virulence strain of PRRSV (RespPRRS/ReproTM, modified-live virus vaccine) infected pigs (group 2) and high virulence strain of PRRSV (VR-2385) infected pigs(group 3). They were necropsied at 3, 7,10, 14 or 28 days post-inoculation (DPI). According to the study, microscopic lesions in the lymphoid tissues from pigs infected with the high virulence strain had more severe lesions, characterized by severe …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Twenty, 3-week-old, crossbred pigs from a herd free from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were inoculated intranasally and intramusculary (1 ml each 102.5 TCID50/ml) with Thai PRRSV isolates of the US genotype (01NP1) (n=9) or the EU genotype (02SB3) (n=8). Three pigs were used as negative controls. Three infected and one control group pig were euthanatized 5, 9 or 15 days postinoculation (DPI) to detect and to compare the location and the amount of PRRSV-antigen present. Immunohistochemical evaluation of formalin-fixed tissues revealed PRRSV-antigen in the pulmonary macrophages of the lungs (6/9, 8/8 and 0/3 of the 01NP1-infected, 02SB3-infected …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Semi-quantitative analysis of the interleukin 10 (IL-10) in bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BALC), from pigs challenged with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), was undertaken in this study. Twenty-one, three weeks old, crossbred pigs from a PRRSV-free commercial farm were separated into three groups, a control, non-infected group (3 pigs/group), and 2 groups (9 pigs/group), the first inoculated with a Thai-isolated European (O2SB3) strain and the second a Thai-isolated, North American (O1NP1) PRRSV strain. BALC were isolated from three infected pigs and one control on days 5, 9 and 15 post infection (DPI). The levels of IL-10 production in BALC …
