This study was initiated to quantify the baseline sensitivity of apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) to fenarimol, an ergosterol synthesis-inhibiting fungicide. In 1988, 576 monoconidial isolates of Venturia inaequalis were collected from 26 commercial orchards throughout Quebec. Sensitivity to fenarimol was assessed by radial growth inhibition assay. The ED50 values for the 26 orchards ranged from 0.024 to 5.212 (μ g mL-1 with a mean ED50 of 0.156 μg ml-1. Reduced sensitivity, expressed as ED50, was found in three orchards for an overall frequency of 4.51% of isolates. Sensitive isolates had a mean ED50 of 0.079 μg ml-1, whereas isolates with reduced sensitivity had a mean ED50 of 1.714 μ g mL-1, yielding a resistance factor of about 22. Four populations were identified based on the frequency distribution of ED50 values.

Mycobacterial Growth

Resuscitation-promoting factor D (RpfD) is a protein involved in the resuscitation of dormant bacteria. A new tuberculosis vaccine carrying the rpfD gene has been successfully constructed, pcDNA3.1-rpfD. It was demonstrated that this vaccine exhibits cellular and humoral immune responses. Therefore, within this study, the efficacy of this new vaccine candidate was evaluated using mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA). MGIA is a functional assay that measures the complex host immune response, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and splenocyte from BALB/c mice against mycobacteria. With BACTECTM MGITTM 960 automated system, the effect of vaccination on bacterial growth was reported as a time to positivity (TTP) in hours. The mean of TTP from the vaccinated group (both pcDNA3.1-rpfD and BCG) was higher than the negative control group. These results suggest that pcDNA3.1-rpfD may be effective in controlling tuberculosis growth and may provide a clue for the development of the tuberculosis vaccine. In addition, despite previous evidence that IFNγ was essential for tuberculosis immunity, IFNγ (interferon gamma) production was found not to be correlated with mycobacterial inhibition. Therefore, these findings offer an alternative method to evaluate vaccine candidates than the assessment using IFNγ only.

Detailed Protocol

The testing of vaccines for tuberculosis is costly and time-consuming, and dependent on preclinical animal challenge models and clinical trials. We have recently developed a mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) to test vaccine efficacy ex vivo. This assay measures the summative effect of the host immune response and may serve as a novel tool to facilitate vaccine testing. It has generated much interest recently, and to facilitate technology transfer and reproducibility between laboratories, we here describe a detailed protocol for an ex vivo MGIA in mouse splenocytes.
