ΔSRCR5 pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) are not susceptible to infection with PRRSV genotype 1.

Abstract

<p><b>A-C)</b> PAMs from wild type (red), heterozygous (blue), and ΔSRCR5 (green) animals were inoculated at MOI = 1 of PRRSV genotype 1, subtype 1 (strain H2, A), subtype 2 (strain DAI, B), and subtype 3 (strain SU1-Bel, C). 19 hpi cells were detached, fixed and stained with an anti PRRSV-N protein antibody and CD163. Infection was quantified by FACS analysis. Over 98% of infected macrophages were qualified as CD163 positive. Infection levels were statistically analyzed using an unpaired t-test of all wild type against all heterozygous or all biallelic / homozygous data points. Error bars represent SEM, n = 3. <b>D-F)</b> Replication growth curves of PRRSV genotype 1, subtype 1 (strain H2, C), subtype 2 (strain DAI, D), and subtype 3 (strain SU1-Bel, F). PAMs from wild type (red, 628 filled circle, 633 open circle), heterozygous (blue, 627 filled square, 633 open square), and ΔSRCR5 (green, 629 triangle pointing down, 630 triangle pointing up) animals were inoculated at MOI = 0.1 of the respective strain. Cell supernatant was collected at indicated time points to measure the released viral RNA by RT-qPCR. Error bars represent SEM, n = 3*2. <b>G-J)</b> Quantification of infectious particles produced at 48 hpi by TCID<sub>50</sub> analysis. Cell supernatant collected at the 48 hpi time point of infection of the time-course experiment was analyzed for infectious viral particle production quantified by TCID<sub>50</sub>. Infection levels were statistically analyzed using an unpaired t-test of all wt against all het or all ΔSRCR5. Error bars represent SEM, n = 3.</p
