To study the effects of 17beta-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels on superovulatory response and recipients conception rate, the E2 and P4 levels of embryo donor (Borderdale) and recipient ewes (Inner Mongolian sheep) were determined during multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET). The results showed that the E2 level increased from the day of initiation by CIDR (Controlled internal drug release devices) treatment and decreased to 3.18±1.32 pg/ml on the day of superovulatory estrus. On the day of embryo collection, the ewes having higher levels of estrogenic peak showed better superovulatory response than the other groups having comparatively lower levels. On the day of initiation of superovulatory treatment, the ewes having lower levels of P4 showed better superovulatory response than those having higher levels of P4. The E2 level of the early abortion group increased from Day 0 to Day 45, while that of two pregnant recipient groups came down from Day 0 to Day 30. The serum P4 level of the early abortion group was significantly lower than that of the pregnant recipient groups on Day 45 (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found between the two pregnant groups after Day 30. Therefore, the levels of E2 and P4 on definite time affect superovulatory response of donors and conception rate of recipients during MOET.

Avian influenza has caused enormous economic losses to poultry industry. To develop kits for rapid diagnosis of avian influenza virus (AIV) H9 subtype, 8-week-old Balb/c mice were administered with pcDNA3.1 (+) carrying hemagglutinin (HA) gene of AIV H9 subtype. After cell fusion, one positive hybridoma cell strain was screened out by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HI), and another positive hybridoma cell strain was screened out by ELISA. After subcloning 3 times, the two cell strains could still secret antibodies against the HA of AIV H9 subtype. The monoclonal antibodies did not react with Newcastle disease virus, AIV H5 subtype and duck adenovirus A. Their subtypes were IgG2b with kappa light chain. These two hybridoma cell strains may play an important role in rapid diagnosis and early-warning surveillance of AIV H9 subtype.

[Objective] To study the correlation between HI titer and protection against IBV challenge in SPF layers. [Method] SPF layers were randomly divided into four groups, namely group A1, A2, B1 and B2. The group A1 was immunized with H120 live vaccine. The group A2 was first immunized with H120 live vaccine and later boosted with ND-IB-EDS trivalent inactivated vaccine. The group B1 was used as unimmunized challenge control. The group B2 was kept as unimmunized unchallenged control. The blood samples were taken prior and post-vaccination at intervals and HI tests were conducted. At the laying peak, the group A1, A2 and B1 were challenged with IBV M41 virulent strain. The clinical features and egg production of layers were monitored and recorded. [Result] After 30 d post vaccination with H120 live vaccine, the HI titer reached 4.45 log2; after 30 days boosting with ND-IB-EDS trivalent inactivated vaccine, the HI titer reached to 7.35 log2. Before challenge, HI antibody titer in group A1, A2, B1 and B2 were respectively 4.24 log2, 7.40 log2, 2.10 log2 and 2.10 log2. After challenge, chickens in unimmunized challenge control group B1 showed respiratory symptoms, egg production dropped by 30.9%, and they produced more soft-shelled, no-shelled or abnormal eggs. In the group A1, some chickens had light respiratory symptoms and egg production dropped by 11.7%. In the group A2, the egg production of all chickens was as normal as the group B2. [Conclusion] When the HI titer was over 6 log2, challenge by virulent virus had no impact on egg production;when the HI titer was 5 log2, 4 log2 and less 3 log2, egg production dropped by 6.0%, 11.3% and 29.6%, respectively. Thus, the HI antibody level in chickens has close correlation with protection against IBV challenge.
