2 Iowa State University Vet Dx Lab 11,000 OF samples tested in ,517 in 2011 >52,000 in 2012
3 Overview of applications 1. Surveillance of endemic infectious agents using antibody- or PCR-based assays In the future OIE-listed diseases & other diseases impacting animal health and international trade 2. Detection/monitoring antibiotics 3. Non-specific population health indicators? Total immunoglobulin (IgM, IgA, IgG), α-amylase (Fuentes et al., 2011), acute-phase proteins, e.g., C reactive protein, haptoglobin (Gutierrez et al., 2009)
4 Terminology Why oral fluid? Why is oral fluid a good diagnostic specimen? Contains local and serum-derived pathogens and antibodies Cameron and Carmen, 2005
5 Use in human diagnostic medicine The agglutinating properties of several body fluids during Malta Fever. Pollaci and Ceralo Oral fluid antibodies used to detect HIV infection. J Clin Microbiol 24(5): /45 HIV seropositive individuals had detectable salivary antibodies to viral antigens Feasibility of a diagnostic test for HIV not requiring venipuncture?
6 Use in human diagnostic medicine NY STD clinics implement oral fluid testing = 40% increase in number tested March 2005 May ,058 oral fluid HIV tests 442 (0.27%) false positive rate Ann Emerg Med 53:151 Sensitivity ~99% Specificity 99.8%

34 RT-PCR and sequencing: Comments on work in progress
35 Mucin monomer Gut Miocrobes 1:4, Model of 5 mucin monomers. Mucus gels are composed of monomers. Mucosal Immunology (3rd ed), p. 58
36 Mucin 1. Present in oral fluid (all species) 2. Aggregation is time-dependent. - Explains why PCR/sequence success by time? 3. Mucin binds and/or inactivates pathogens - HIV, rotavirus, influenza virus, norovirus, coronavirus, mycoplasma, bacteria 4. Antibody is associated with mucin aggregates, but easily passes through. 5. Treatments to reverse mucin aggregation?
37 Take Home - PCRs 1. PCRs are not created equal Which PCR is your lab running? 2. More PCR optimization necessary 3. Oral fluids contain something probably mucin that affects PCRs and sequencing
38 Oral fluids & antibodies some examples
39 Antibody in oral fluids Antibody assays are cheaper than PCRs Widely used in human oral fluid testing Most serum antibody assays can be optimized to detect antibodies in oral fluid (Cameron and Carmen, 2005) Change incubation time, sample dilution, reagent dilutions, and adjust cut-off value

66 LEVEL TWO Bits of things
67 Oral fluid sample: What kind of sample is it?
68 Is a pen-based sample a pooled sample? A pooled sample is created by combining 2 specimens into one aliquot for testing.
69 Is a pen-based sample a pooled sample? A pooled sample is created by combining 2 specimens into one aliquot for testing. First dx application Dorfman, Pooling always results in loss of information
70 A pen-based sample is a grab sample A single sample collected at a particular time and place that represents the composition of the water, air, or soil only at that time and place. Apalachicola Bay, Florida
71 A pen-based sample is a grab sample Place, time, and sample unit data? "Yes" for grab samples; often "No" for pools "Yes" allows for statistical analysis of the results Apalachicola Bay, Florida
72 Oral fluid samples: Effect of collection material, processing and sampling order on assay results
73 Material, collection order & processing Olsen et al. Res Vet Sci (submitted) OF samples collected from 104 pens 3 types of rope - cotton, hemp, nylon Pens sampled in 1 of 3 sequences C-N-H; N-H-C; or H-C-N. Samples processed or unprocessed 10,000 x g for 2 hours and then filtered using a 0.22µm

77 Material, collection order & processing Olsen et al., Res Vet Sci (submitted) Conclusions: Any of the three factors could affect results, but the effects were non-uniform and assay-dependent. Keep the analyte in mind when selecting collection material Cotton is the best choice for PRRSV assays (ELISA or RT-PCR)
78 Oral fluid samples: Effect of prevalence on detection
79 Experimental Design Olsen et al., (in progress) 2012 Objective: Estimate probability of detecting PRRSV infection by ELISA or PCR using a penbased oral fluid sample Design 25 pens of 25 pigs 5 treatment groups (0, 1, 3, 5, 9 MLV vaccinated pigs), 5 pens per treatment
