Expression of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and Mx protein in the livers of pigs experimentally infected with swine hepatitis E virus (HEV) was examined immunohistochemically. Five infected and five non-infected pigs were killed at 3, 7, 14, 21, 29 and 50 days post-inoculation (dpi). Tissues were collected from each pig at necropsy. Multifocal lymphoplasmacytic hepatitis (P=0.042) and focal hepatocellular necrosis (P=0.037) were significantly more frequent in the swine HEV-infected pigs than in the non-infected control pigs. Immunohistochemical analysis detected expression of IFN-alpha and Mx protein by macrophages/Kupffer cells, lymphocytes and hepatocytes in the livers of infected pigs.
采用免疫组织化学方法检测了实验感染猪戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)的猪肝脏中α干扰素(IFN-α)和Mx蛋白的表达。在接种后3、7、14、21、29和50天处死5头感染猪和5头未感染猪。尸检时从每头猪采集组织。与未感染的对照猪相比,猪HEV感染猪的多灶性淋巴浆细胞性肝炎(P = 0.042)和局灶性肝细胞坏死(P = 0.037)明显更常见。免疫组织化学分析检测到感染猪肝脏中的巨噬细胞/枯否细胞、淋巴细胞和肝细胞表达IFN-α和Mx蛋白。
