This work has been funded in part with federal funds from the Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. HHSN272201400006C.

Tutti i suini utilizzati per la raccolta dei seguenti dati sono stati protetti ai sensi della Istituzionale Animal Care and Use Committee Ohio State University (uso animale numero di protocollo 2009A0134-R1). 1. Preparazione di trasporto virale media e provate Fiale Collection <ol><li> Aggiungere 37 g di Brain Heart Infusion a 900 ml di acqua purificata e mescolare accuratamente con un ancoretta e agitatore magnetico mentre il riscaldamento a 70 ° C per sciogliere completamente la polvere. </li><li> Autoclavare il brodo a 121 ° C per 15 min. Raffreddare sul banco fino brodo raggiunge la temperatura ambiente. Mettete in frigorifero a 4 ° C durante la notte se necessario. </li><li> Sciogliere, mescolando con ancoretta magnetica, 6,02 g di sale sodico Penicillina G e 10 g di solfato di streptomicina in 50 ml di acqua depurata a temperatura ambiente. Aggiungere acqua purificata supplementare per portare il volume totale di 100 ml. Filtrare la soluzione attraverso una membrana polietersulfone 0,22 micron in una bottiglia sterile. </li><li> Asetticamente aggiungere la penicillina filtrato e la soluzione di streptomicina nella raffreddato Brain Heart Infusion Broth e mescolare bene (o ancoretta pallone ricciolo mano) per rendere il mezzo di trasporto virale. </li><li> Asetticamente testare il pH del mezzo di trasporto virale; se necessario, regolare il pH a 7,4 ± 0,2 con HCl o NaOH. </li><li> Eseguire test di garanzia della qualità del mezzo di trasporto virale da test per l&#39;influenza A proteina di matrice del virus da rRT-PCR, come descritto da Zhang e Harmon. 22 </li><li> Dispensare 5 ml di mezzo di trasporto virale in bottiglie di polietilene ad alta densità sterili con capacità da 8 ml. Etichetta le fiale per uso nel settore. </li><li> Conservare le fiale pronti per l&#39;uso in crio-scatole standard a -20 ° C fino a quando la raccolta del campione. </li></ol> 2. Raccolta di nasale Salviette da Swine <ol><li> Scongelare il numero appropriato di flaconcini immediatamente prima del prelievo; Sarà necessario un flaconcino per suino campionato. Scongelamento in cameratemperatura richiede circa 30-45 minuti. Tenere le fiale scongelate raffreddare su impacchi di ghiaccio fino al momento dell&#39;uso. </li><li> Don adeguati dispositivi di protezione personale come dettate dalla situazione (ad esempio, tuta, calzari, respiratore, tappi per le orecchie, ecc). </li><li> Entra nell&#39;area animale. Se necessario, limitare il maiale ad una piccola area ma senza frenare. Non svegliare riposo animali. </li><li> Indossare un paio di guanti monouso di esame. Fare attenzione a non contaminare i guanti da maiali toccando, persone o oggetti inanimati. </li><li> Usare una mano guantata per rimuovere una sterile 5,08 cm × 5,08 cm (2 in. × 2 in.) Tampone di garza di cotone dal suo involucro. Garze sterili devono essere usati quando possibile. Garze confezionati singolarmente sono più comodi da usare rispetto a quelli avvolto con due tamponi di garza per collo. </li><li> Tenere il tampone di garza di cotone con la punta delle dita di una mano esporre come gran parte del pad come possibile per il campionamento. </li><li> Pulire il tampone di garza attraverso il muso del maiale, presaattenzione per entrare nelle narici esterne, se possibile. Raccogliere visibili secrezioni nasali (circa 1 ml) con lo stesso tampone di garza. </li><li> Utilizzando la stessa mano, piegare la garza su se stesso per facilitare il posizionamento nel flaconcino contenente mezzo di trasporto virale. </li><li> Utilizzando invece, rimuovere il tappo dal flacone e posizionare la garza piegata nel flaconcino. Richiudere la fiala e agitare il flaconcino per garantire la miscelazione del garza e mezzo di trasporto virale. </li><li> Togliere i guanti e posto in un contenitore adeguato. Cambiare i guanti tra ogni suino. </li><li> Verificare l&#39;identificativo fiala. Numero record di identificazione maiale, età, sesso, segni clinici, e altre note ritenute necessarie da investigatore. </li><li> Raffreddare i campioni immediatamente dopo il prelievo. Considerare la possibilità aliquote del campione prima del congelamento per evitare più cicli di congelamento-scongelamento. Non appena possibile dopo la raccolta, posizionare i campioni in ghiaccio secco per il trasporto al laboratorio. Conservare le fiale a -80° C fino all&#39;avvio test. </li></ol> 3. Rilevamento di virus influenzale A Nucleic Acid <ol><li> Scongelare i campioni a 37 ° C bagno branello secco per 5 min e quindi completare scongelamento i campioni sul banco a temperatura ambiente per 20-30 min. L&#39;aggiunta contemporanea di più flaconi alle perline causerà la vasca al calore; si deve prestare attenzione per non surriscaldare i flaconi. </li><li> Togliere 100 ml di mezzo di trasporto virale per l&#39;estrazione dell&#39;RNA. <ol><li> Utilizzare un high-throughput (96 formato pozzetti) piattaforma perla magnetica per l&#39;estrazione di RNA da un gran numero di campioni. 31 </li></ol></li><li> Utilizzare in tempo reale analisi della trascrittasi inversa PCR per il rilevamento rapido di influenza virus. 31 </li></ol> 4. L&#39;isolamento del virus influenzale A da nasali Salviettine <ol><li> Scongelare i campioni come descritto in precedenza nella sezione 3.1 </li><li> Trattare i campioni scongelati con gentamicina solfato (1.000mcg / ml), amfotericina B (22,5 mg / ml), e kanamicina solfato (325 mcg / ml). </li><li> Seminare in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) le cellule epiteliali, come descritto in precedenza. 32 </li></ol>

La raccolta di campioni da suini utilizzando tamponi nasali di poliestere con la punta si è dimostrato utile nel condurre sorveglianza IAV; Tuttavia, l&#39;uso della procedura di tampone nasale ostacola gli sforzi di sorveglianza dovuti all&#39;uso richiesto di un laccio per contenzione. Salviette nasale rappresentano un affinamento delle attuali tecniche di campionamento suina per minimizzare lo stress sulle persone e maiali durante la raccolta del campione. Mentre il metodo è stato messo a punto e validato in contes...

<html> I virus influenzali A (IAV) causano malattie respiratorie in molte specie, tra cui uccelli domestici, suina, e gli esseri umani. A causa riassortimento del genoma segmentato IAV rapida evoluzione virale possono verificarsi e nuovi ceppi IAV emergere frequentemente. Maiali sono una specie che può servire come un vaso di miscelazione per riassortimento di IAV da più specie ospiti. 1 Al momento non ci sono tre principali sottotipi di IAV comunemente circolano tra nordamericano suina (H1N1, H1N2, H3N2), ma più introduzioni IAV da esseri umani hanno ha portato alla vasta diversità IAV all&#39;interno di tali sottotipi. 2 rapida evoluzione della IAV infettare suina è evidente dal 1998, quando un reassortant tripla IAV contenente segmenti di geni provenienti da virus umani, aviari e suini 3 si diffuse tra i maiali negli Stati Uniti. 4 Il gene interna segmenti di quel triplice reassortant IAV rimangono altamente diffusa tra IAV attualmente infettare suina. 5 &quot;&gt; In tutto il mondo, IAV è una causa importante di malattia respiratoria dei suini in cui i segni clinici tipici comprendono febbre, anoressia, letargia, tosse, respiro affannoso, starnuti, scolo nasale e scarso aumento di peso. IAV può essere particolarmente onerosa seminare aziende agricole in cui riproduttiva fallimento a causa di IAV febbre indotta e suinetti deboli di origine sono stati documentati. 6,7 Negli Stati Uniti, IAV è comunemente individuato in allevamenti suini commerciali e l&#39;ampia diversità antigenica e genomica e continua evoluzione tra IAV suina infettare ha ostacolato il controllo di questa virus. 8-11 Salute pubblica teme la comparsa di un ceppo IAV pandemia derivante dal riassortimento nei suini sono stati realizzati nel 2009, quando un IAV suina lignaggio contenente segmenti di geni della stirpe suina nordamericana triplo riassortanti e il lignaggio suina aviaria-come eurasiatico ha causato una pandemia a livello mondiale negli esseri umani. 12 La virus pandemico (A (H1N1) pdm09) ha dalriassortito con suina endemica IAV ceppi 13,14 e alcuni di questi ceppi di nuova riassortito sono stati trasmessi di nuovo agli esseri umani. 15 La frequenza di eventi riassortimento e comparsa di nuovi ceppi IAV con potenziale pandemico rende sorveglianza attiva di far circolare i virus nei suini IAV imperativo, soprattutto all&#39;interfaccia suina umana. L&#39;interfaccia suina-umano è importante per interspecie bidirezionale trasmissione di IAV. Human-to-suina trasmissione che si verificano nella produzione suina commerciale è responsabile di una grande quantità di diversità IAV attualmente presenti nella popolazione suina. Fiere agricole sono le impostazioni per la comingling di persone e suina negli Stati Uniti più grandi e sono noti siti per la trasmissione zoonotica di IAV. 15-21 Nel 2012, durante l&#39;epidemia di una variante H3N2 IAV, il 93% dei casi segnalati partecipazione a una fiera agricola, nei giorni precedenti l&#39;inizio della malattia. 15 Analisi genomicadi isolati virali da suini espositivi rispetto al isolati umani confermato trasmissione zoonotici. 21 Exhibition suina infetta da IAV spesso non presentavano segni clinici di malattia, 21-23 che indicano la necessità di test diagnostici diretti. Il campionamento dei suini visibilmente malati da solo non identificare con successo IAV prevalenza nei suini e non può essere invocata per individuare nuovi ceppi di IAV emergenti tra maiali. La sorveglianza attiva è assolutamente necessario per il rilevamento di ceppi emergenti di IAV in suini e per valutare la loro minaccia sia per la suina e della salute pubblica. La maggior parte delle attività di sorveglianza IAV sono volontarie e, pertanto, sono necessari metodi minimamente dirompenti. Le tre principali procedure di raccolta del campione ante mortem per IAV infettare suina sono: tamponi nasali, fluidi orali, e salviette nasali. Le attuali raccomandazioni per il campionamento dei suini individuale per rilevare lista IAV l&#39;inserimento di fibre sintetiche ribaltati tamponi nelle narici come il metodo preferitoraccogliere le secrezioni nasali e le cellule epiteliali. 24,25 Poiché suini possono cercare di evitare questa procedura, una squadra di personale addestrato deve trattenere suini manualmente o con un laccio seconda della taglia dell&#39;animale. 26 Il processo di ritenuta è laborioso per il personale e stressante per i maiali. Inoltre, mostra suini sono spesso coinvolti in molteplici competizioni in una fiera così la percezione di stress aggiunto su un animale di concorrenza può offrire proprietari resistenti agli sforzi di sorveglianza. Con probabilità di rilevazione IAV che vanno dal 80-100% in IAV allevamenti infetti, fluidi orali sono diventati una alternativa popolare per nasale tamponi per la diagnosi molecolare di IAV nelle popolazioni di suini. 27,28 Inoltre, fluidi orali possono fornire una finestra più ampia di rilevamento IAV di tamponi nasali dopo l&#39;infezione iniziale. Tuttavia, IAV isolamento da fluidi orali è stato problematico con solo il 50% dei virus tentativi di isolamento con conseguente IAV recupero. 29 Utilizzando salviette nasali in luogo di tamponi nasali durante IAV sorveglianza nei suini supera i limiti di cui sopra. Salviette nasali non richiedono l&#39;uso di un laccio di ritegno e possono essere eseguite senza stress agli animali o testimoni della procedura. Formazione tecnica minima è necessaria per raccogliere salviette nasali, che consente ai professionisti non veterinari, compresi i proprietari dei suini, per raccogliere i campioni di sorveglianza. Salviette nasali sono stati precedentemente confrontati con tamponi nasali per la rilevazione e l&#39;isolamento di virus influenzale A 30 e il protocollo dettagliato per questo metodo non invasivo di campionamento è descritto di seguito.

nasal wipes for influenza a virus detection and isolation from swine

Sorveglianza di virus dell&#39;influenza A in suina è fondamentale per la salute umana e animale perché virus evolve rapidamente nella popolazione suina e nuovi ceppi sono continuamente emergendo. Swine sono in grado di essere infettati da diversi lignaggi di virus influenzale che li ospita importanti per la formazione e il mantenimento di nuova influenza A ceppi di virus. Campionamento suini in contesti diversi, quali aziende agricole suini, fiere agricole e mercati di animali vivi è importante fornire una visione completa di ceppi attualmente in circolazione IAV. La corrente ante mortem tecnica di campionamento gold-standard (ossia la raccolta di tamponi nasali) è laborioso perché richiede contenzione fisica dei suini. Salviette nasale coinvolgere strofinando un pezzo di tessuto attraverso il muso del maiale con minima o nessuna moderazione dell&#39;animale. Il nasale wipe procedura è semplice da eseguire e non richiede personale con veterinaria professionale o formazione trattamento degli animali. Wentre leggermente meno sensibile di tamponi nasali, tassi di rilevazione di virus e l&#39;isolamento sono sufficienti per fare nasale pulisce una valida alternativa per il campionamento singoli suini quando sono richiesti bassi di stress metodi di campionamento.

High-throughput Detection Method for Influenza Virus

Influenza virus is a respiratory pathogen that causes a high degree of morbidity and mortality every year in multiple parts of the world. Therefore, precise diagnosis of the infecting strain and rapid high-throughput screening of vast numbers of clinical samples is paramount to control the spread of pandemic infections. Current clinical diagnoses of influenza infections are based on serologic testing, polymerase chain reaction, direct specimen immunofluorescence and cell culture 1,2.
Here, we report the development of a novel diagnostic technique used to detect live influenza viruses. We used the mouse-adapted human A/PR/8/34 (PR8, H1N1) virus 3 to test the efficacy of this technique using MDCK cells 4. MDCK cells (104 or 5 x 103 per well) were cultured in 96- or 384-well plates, infected with PR8 and viral proteins were detected using anti-M2 followed by an IR dye-conjugated secondary antibody. M2 5 and hemagglutinin 1 are two major marker proteins used in many different diagnostic assays. Employing IR-dye-conjugated secondary antibodies minimized the autofluorescence associated with other fluorescent dyes. The use of anti-M2 antibody allowed us to use the antigen-specific fluorescence intensity as a direct metric of viral quantity. To enumerate the fluorescence intensity, we used the LI-COR Odyssey-based IR scanner. This system uses two channel laser-based IR detections to identify fluorophores and differentiate them from background noise. The first channel excites at 680 nm and emits at 700 nm to help quantify the background. The second channel detects fluorophores that excite at 780 nm and emit at 800 nm. Scanning of PR8-infected MDCK cells in the IR scanner indicated a viral titer-dependent bright fluorescence. A positive correlation of fluorescence intensity to virus titer starting from 102-105 PFU could be consistently observed. Minimal but detectable positivity consistently seen with 102-103 PFU PR8 viral titers demonstrated the high sensitivity of the near-IR dyes. The signal-to-noise ratio was determined by comparing the mock-infected or isotype antibody-treated MDCK cells.
Using the fluorescence intensities from 96- or 384-well plate formats, we constructed standard titration curves. In these calculations, the first variable is the viral titer while the second variable is the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, we used the exponential distribution to generate a curve-fit to determine the polynomial relationship between the viral titers and fluorescence intensities. Collectively, we conclude that IR dye-based protein detection system can help diagnose infecting viral strains and precisely enumerate the titer of the infecting pathogens.

This method describes the use of Infrared dye based imaging system for detection of H1N1 in bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of infected mice at a high sensitivity. This methodology can be performed in a 96- or 384-well plate, requires &lt;10 &mu;l volume of test material and has the potential for concurrent screening of multiple pathogens.

Detection of Viruses from Bioaerosols Using Anion Exchange Resin

This protocol demonstrates a customized bioaerosol sampling method for viruses. In this system, anion exchange resin is coupled with liquid impingement-based air sampling devices for efficacious concentration of negatively-charged viruses from bioaerosols. Thus, the resin serves as an additional concentration step in the bioaerosol sampling workflow. Nucleic acid extraction of the viral particles is then performed directly from the anion exchange resin, with the resulting sample suitable for molecular analyses. Further, this protocol describes a custom-built bioaerosol chamber capable of generating virus-laden bioaerosols under a variety of environmental conditions and allowing for continuous monitoring of environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and aerosol mass concentration. The main advantage of using this protocol is increased sensitivity of viral detection, as assessed via direct comparison to an unmodified conventional liquid impinger. Other advantages include the potential to concentrate diverse negatively-charged viruses, the low cost of anion exchange resin (~$0.14 per sample), and ease of use. Disadvantages include the inability of this protocol to assess infectivity of resin-adsorbed viral particles, and potentially the need for the optimization of the liquid sampling buffer used within the impinger.

An anion exchange resin-based method, adapted to liquid impingement-based bioaerosol sampling of viruses is demonstrated. When coupled with downstream molecular detection, the method allows for facile and sensitive detection of viruses from bioaerosols.

Rapid Molecular Detection and Differentiation of Influenza Viruses A and B

Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses A and B in humans and causes a significant amount of morbidity and mortality every year. The Influenza A and B assay was the first CLIA-waived molecular rapid flu test available. The Influenza A and B test works by employing isothermal amplification with influenza-specific primers followed by target detection with molecular beacon probes. Here, the performance of the Influenza A and B assay on frozen, archived nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens stored in viral transport medium (VTM) were compared to a respiratory panel assay.
The performance of the Influenza A and B assay was evaluated by comparing the results to the respiratory panel reference method. The sensitivity for total influenza virus A was 67.5% (95% CI (CI), 56.6-78.5) and the specificity was 86.9% (CI, 71.0-100). For influenza virus B testing, the sensitivity and specificity were 90.2% (CI, 68.5-100) and 98.8% (CI, 68.5-100), respectively.
This system has the advantage of a significantly shorter test time than any other currently available molecular assay and the simple, pipette-free procedure runs on a fully integrated, closed, small-footprint system. Overall, the Influenza A and B assay evaluated in this study has the potential to serve as a point-of-care rapid influenza diagnostic test.

We describe a rapid, molecular-based Influenza A and B assay. The Influenza assay detects each target within 15 min by employing isothermal amplification with influenza-specific primers followed by target detection with molecular beacon probes. The Influenza A and B assay is user-friendly and required minimal hands-on time to perform.

High-throughput Detection of Respiratory Pathogens in Animal Specimens by Nanoscale PCR

Nanoliter scale real-time PCR uses spatial multiplexing to allow multiple assays to be run in parallel on a single plate without the typical drawbacks of combining reactions together. We designed and evaluated a panel based on this principle to rapidly identify the presence of common disease agents in dogs and horses with acute respiratory illness. This manuscript describes a nanoscale diagnostic PCR workflow for sample preparation, amplification, and analysis of target pathogen sequences, focusing on procedures that are different from microliter scale reactions. In the respiratory panel presented, 18 assays were each set up in triplicate, accommodating up to 48 samples per plate. A universal extraction and pre-amplification workflow was optimized for high-throughput sample preparation to accommodate multiple matrices and DNA and RNA based pathogens. Representative data are presented for one RNA target (influenza A matrix) and one DNA target (equine herpesvirus 1). The ability to quickly and accurately test for a comprehensive, syndrome-based group of pathogens is a valuable tool for improving efficiency and ergonomics of diagnostic testing and for acute respiratory disease diagnosis and management.

High-throughput testing of DNA and RNA based pathogens by nanoscale PCR is described using a syndromic canine and equine respiratory PCR panel.

Fluorescence-based Neuraminidase Inhibition Assay to Assess the Susceptibility of Influenza Viruses to The Neuraminidase Inhibitor Class of Antivirals

The neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors are the only class of antivirals approved for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza that are effective against currently circulating strains. In addition to their use in treating seasonal influenza, the NA inhibitors have been stockpiled by a number of countries for use in the event of a pandemic. It is therefore important to monitor the susceptibility of circulating influenza viruses to this class of antivirals. There are different types of assays that can be used to assess the susceptibility of influenza viruses to the NA inhibitors, but the enzyme inhibition assays using either a fluorescent substrate or a chemiluminescent substrate are the most widely used and recommended. This protocol describes the use of a fluorescence-based assay to assess influenza virus susceptibility to NA inhibitors. The assay is based on the NA enzyme cleaving the 2&#8242;-(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-&#945;-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (MUNANA) substrate to release the fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU). Therefore, the inhibitory effect of an NA inhibitor on the influenza virus NA is determined based on the concentration of the NA inhibitor that is required to reduce 50% of the NA activity, given as an IC50 value.

We describe the use of a phenotypic fluorescence-based neuraminidase inhibition assay to assess the susceptibility of influenza A and B viruses to the neuraminidase inhibitor class of antivirals.

Influenza A Virus Studies in a Mouse Model of Infection

Influenza viruses cause over 500,000 deaths worldwide1 and are associated with an annual cost of 12 - 14 billion USD in the United States alone considering direct medical and hospitalization expenses and work absenteeism2. Animal models are crucial in Influenza A virus (IAV) studies to evaluate viral pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, immune responses, and the efficacy of current and/or novel vaccine approaches as well as antivirals. Mice are an advantageous small animal model because their immune system is evolutionarily similar to that found in humans, they are available from commercial vendors as genetically identical subjects, there are multiple strains that can be exploited to evaluate the genetic basis of infections, and they are relatively inexpensive and easy to manipulate. To recapitulate IAV infection in humans via the airways, mice are first anesthetized prior to intranasal inoculation with infectious IAVs under proper biosafety containment. After infection, the pathogenesis of IAVs is determined by monitoring daily the morbidity (body weight loss) and mortality (survival) rate. In addition, viral pathogenesis can also be evaluated by assessing virus replication in the upper (nasal mucosa) or lower (lungs) respiratory tract of infected mice. Humoral responses upon IAV infection can be rapidly evaluated by non-invasive bleeding and secondary antibody detection assays aimed at detecting the presence of total or neutralizing antibodies. Here, we describe the common methods used to infect mice intranasally (i.n) with IAV and evaluate pathogenesis, humoral immune responses and protection efficacy.

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are important human respiratory pathogens. To understand the pathogenicity of IAVs and to perform preclinical testing of novel vaccine approaches, animal models mimicking human physiology are required. Here, we describe techniques to evaluate IAV pathogenesis, humoral responses and vaccine efficacy using a mouse model of infection.

Generation of Escape Variants of Neutralizing Influenza Virus Monoclonal Antibodies

Influenza viruses exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt and evade the host immune response. One way is through antigenic changes that occur on the surface glycoproteins of the virus. The generation of escape variants is a powerful method in elucidating how viruses escape immune detection and in identifying critical residues required for antibody binding. Here, we describe a protocol on how to generate influenza A virus escape variants by utilizing human or murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the viral hemagglutinin (HA). With the use of our technique, we previously characterized critical residues required for the binding of antibodies targeting either the head or stalk of the novel avian H7N9 HA. The protocol can be easily adapted for other virus systems. Analyses of escape variants are important for modeling antigenic drift, determining single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) conferring resistance and virus fitness, and in the designing of vaccines and/or therapeutics.

We describe a method by which we identify critical residues required for the binding of human or murine monoclonal antibodies that target the viral hemagglutinin of influenza A viruses. The protocol can be adapted to other virus surface glycoproteins and their corresponding neutralizing antibodies.

Imaging Cell Interaction in Tracheal Mucosa During Influenza Virus Infection Using Two-photon Intravital Microscopy

The analysis of cell-cell or cell-pathogen interaction in vivo is an important tool to understand the dynamics of the immune response to infection. Two-photon intravital microscopy (2P-IVM) allows the observation of cell interactions in deep tissue in living animals, while minimizing the photobleaching generated during image acquisition. To date, different models for 2P-IVM of lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs have been described. However, imaging of respiratory organs remains a challenge due to the movement associated with the breathing cycle of the animal.
Here, we describe a protocol to visualize in vivo immune cell interactions in the trachea of mice infected with influenza virus using 2P-IVM. To this purpose, we developed a custom imaging platform, which included the surgical exposure and intubation of the trachea, followed by the acquisition of dynamic images of neutrophils and dendritic cells (DC) in the mucosal epithelium. Additionally, we detailed the steps needed to perform influenza intranasal infection and flow cytometric analysis of immune cells in the trachea. Finally, we analyzed neutrophil and DC motility as well as their interactions during the course of a movie. This protocol allows for the generation of stable and bright 4D images necessary for the assessment of cell-cell interactions in the trachea.

In this study, we present a protocol to perform two-photon intravital imaging and cell interaction analysis in the murine tracheal mucosa after infection with influenza virus. This protocol will be relevant for researchers studying immune cell dynamics during respiratory infections.

Nasal Brushing Sampling and Processing Using Digital High Speed Ciliary Videomicroscopy &ndash; Adaptation for the COVID-19 Pandemic

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic motile ciliopathy, leading to significant otosinopulmonary disease. PCD diagnosis is often missed or delayed due to challenges with different diagnostic modalities. Ciliary videomicroscopy, using Digital High-Speed Videomicroscopy (DHSV), one of the diagnostic tools for PCD, is considered the optimal method to perform ciliary functional analysis (CFA), comprising of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and beat pattern (CBP) analysis. However, DHSV lacks standardized, published operating procedure for processing and analyzing samples. It also uses living respiratory epithelium, a significant infection control issue during the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue providing a diagnostic service during this health crisis, the ciliary videomicroscopy protocol has been adapted to include adequate infection control measures.
Here, we describe a revised protocol for sampling and laboratory processing of ciliated respiratory samples, highlighting adaptations made to comply with COVID-19 infection control measures. Representative results of CFA from nasal brushing samples obtained from 16 healthy subjects, processed and analyzed according to this protocol, are described. We also illustrate the importance of obtaining and processing optimal quality epithelial ciliated strips, as samples not meeting quality selection criteria do now allow for CFA, potentially decreasing the diagnostic reliability and the efficiency of this technique.

COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak: Performing a Nasal Swab Test on Patients inside a Rapidly Deployable Facility Optimized for Epidemics

While different types of diagnostic tests may be used to detect coronavirus disease, a nasopharyngeal swab test is the most common. The test must be performed by a trained healthcare provider. If cell culture is collected in a wrong manner, the diagnosis obtained may be incorrect.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that providers use a sterile dacron or rayon swab with a flexible, plastic shaft for deep nasal sampling. Cotton, calcium alginate swabs, or swabs with wooden sticks may contain such compounds that can inactivate some viruses and inhibit the diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The following protocol describes the proper procedure for collecting a nasopharyngeal swab sample.
