PMID- 9220623 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 19970912 LR - 20190831 IS - 0378-1135 (Print) IS - 0378-1135 (Linking) VI - 55 IP - 1-4 DP - 1997 Apr TI - Field isolates of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vary in their susceptibility to antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection. PG - 277-87 AB - Seventeen porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) field isolates, including isolate ISU-P, were evaluated for their susceptibility to antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection mediated by antibodies raised against PRRSV isolate ISU-P. Progeny virus yields of ISU-P and 4 of 16 field isolates in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAM) were reduced following treatment with a concentration of antibody that neutralized ISU-P (p < 0.01). In contrast, the yields of 12 of 17 field isolates were enhanced (p < 0.01). Treatment of all isolates with a 10-fold lower concentration of this antibody significantly (p < 0.01) increased virus yields of all isolates in PAM. However, the degree of enhancement varied among the isolates when compared to the enhancement of the yield of ISU-P. While no differences in enhancement were observed among ISU-P and 9 field isolates, yield enhancement of 6 and 1 isolates were less than and more than the yield enhancement of ISU-P, respectively (p < 0.05). The degree of enhancement mediated by a high concentration of antibody raised against ISU-P was inversely proportional to the ability of the antibody to neutralize the isolates (r = 0.92). In contrast, no direct correlation (r = 0.32) was observed between the degree of enhancement mediated by a low concentration of antibody and the ability of the antibody to neutralize the isolates. These data suggest that the variability in the susceptibility of PRRSV isolates to ADE arise from quantitative and/or qualitative differences in the antigenic determinants associated with virus neutralization and/or ADE. The antigenic diversity and the wide range in the susceptibility to ADE that exists among field isolates indicate that ADE should be taken into consideration in the development of effective immunization strategies for PRRS.
