1 Identification of immunodominant T-cell eptitopes in matrix protein of highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus Ya-Xin Wang, PhD Student Outline 1. Background 2. Research Contents 3. Conclusion 4. Acknowledgement Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Introduction of HP-PRRSV 1. Background In 2006, Highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(hp-prrsv) severely affected the pork industry of China. Infections were characterized by high morbidity (characterized by high fever, %) and mortality (20-100%). Since the initial outbreak, disease spread rapidly to most provinces in China, resulting in more than one million deaths. So we chose the HP-PRRSV HuN4 strain to do the research First observed in The United States The first case reported in Europe First isolated in Lelystad Isolated in Lelystad The United States Officially named PRRSV First outbreak on mainland China Highly pathogenic PRRS The course of viral infections in pigs PRRS Immunology Persistent Infection Delayed Protection! Persistent Infection! 1

Conclusion Four T-cell epitopes presented in the matrix protein of HP-PRRSV were identified. 4. Acknowledgement The real-time PCR also showed that the cells stimulated by these four peptides can produce high quality of IFN-g, which proof our conclusion from another aspect. The result of the alignment demonstrated a great degree of identity at each site, MTEP6 was fully conserved ; MTEP3 and MTEP12 were conserved with only two amino acid changes; MTEP8 with 3 amino acid changes. 4
