Frozen lung tissue sections from 2 healthy and 2 adenocarcinoma affected sheep were lysed in appropriate buffer. The two-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis of the protein lysates was performed. The resulting gels were visualised by silver and Coomassie Blue staining, then scanned and analysed using appropriate software. There was one spot present on the image obtained from the analysis of healthy tissue and no spot was found on cancer 2D gel image. The spot was excised and analysed using mass spectrometry. As a result, cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase was identified. In addition, several other protein spots of different intensity in neoplastic tissues, as compared with healthy ones, were found. The last finding reflects changes in protein expression in neoplastic and healthy tissues. These preliminary results can serve as the basis for more detailed investigations of the neoplastic tissue proteome, e.g.: isoelectric focusing in narrow pH range and analysis of correlation between tissue and serum protein profiles. The analysis of serum proteins from affected sheep can reveal markers of neoplastic process and help in preclinical diagnosis of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

The possibility of jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) genome detection in peripheral blood leukocytes and respiratory tract fluid of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) affected sheep was tested. Five of six lambs used in the experiment were infected with JSRV by intratracheal inoculation. The blood samples were taken from all the lambs at 10-d intervals for 3 months and the white blood cells were subjected to DNA isolation followed by PCR amplification for the detection of proviral DNA that gave negative results for all the samples. The respiratory tract fluid was collected from the nostrils of lamb No. 6, which developed clinical sign of OPA 2 months after the inoculation. The fluid was examined using PCR and reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) for the presence of proviral DNA or viral RNA. The presence of OPA in the lamb was subsequently confirmed by histopathological examination and the detection of proviral DNA in the lung tissue. Results of the standard PCR amplification performed on the DNA isolated from the nasal discharge from lamb No. 6 was negative, while the RT-PCR gave positive results confirming the presence of virions in the lung fluid. Results of the study show the RT-PCR technique may be a useful tool in ante-mortem diagnosis of OPA, especially in distinguishing it from other respiratory diseases.
