cytopathic effects in primary epithelial cultures derived from the human prostate.normal, benign, and malignant human prostatic tissue was cultivated in vitro. cytopathic effects in derived epithelial cells were examined. light microscopy revealed polykaryocyte formation, vacuolation, cytoplasmic bridges and processes, nuclear inclusions, increased acid phosphatase activity at the cell membrane of polykaryocytes as compared to mononuclear cells, and cell rounding and clumping. electron microscopy of the polykaryocytes showed nuclear membrane proliferation and protrusion, scar ...1976173669
synergistic antiviral effects of adenine arabinoside and humoral antibodies in experimental encephalitis due to herpesvirus hominis.the antiviral effects of humoral antibodies and adenine arabinoside on encephalitis due to herpesvirus hominis were studied in three-week-old mice. exogenously administered antibodies to h. hominis, of rabbit or human origin, significantly reduced morbidity and mortality rates from h. hominis encephalitis if enough antibodies were given during the early phase of infection. adenine arabinoside could also modulate the pathogenesis and reduce the mortality rate in mice with h. hominis encephalitis. ...1976173763
coital exanthema in stallions.equine coital exanthema can be produced experimentally in stallions by inoculation with an equine herpesvirus (strain 65/61) and be transmitted during coitus with an infected mare. serological responses to this infection include the production of complement-fixing and serum-neutralizing antibodies which reach maximum levels 14 to 21 days after infection. complement-fixing antibodies decline rapidly and are usually not detectable by 60 days after infection, whereas serum-neutralizing antibody act ...1975173847
experimental studies on equine herpesvirus type 1 infections.the ehv-1 viruses of fetal origin grew better and had a wider tissue culture host range than those isolated from horses with respiratory diseases. comparisons of a fetal isolate (f/304) and a respiratory disease isolate (r/nm-3) in partly immune horses showed that the f/304 virus infected horses more readily, grew better in the nasopharynx, was more likely to cause abortion, and was excreted to a greater extent into the environment.1975173849
attenuation of herpesvirus saimiri for marmosets after successive passage in cell culture at 39 degrees c.a variant of herpesvirus saimiri (hvs) stably attenuated for marmosets was isolated after serial passage of wild-type hvs in cell culture at 39 degrees c. marmosets previously inoculated with attenuated virus experienced a significant delay in the development of lymphoma when challenged with wild-type hvs.1975173864
in vitro evaluation of cell-mediated immunity to epstein-barr herpesvirus by cell migration inhibition tests.migration of peripheral leukocytes in samples from sensitized [epstein-barr virus (ebv) antibody-positive] humans was greatly inhibited when challenged by antigen prepared from ebv-producing p3hr-1 cells but not by antigen prepared from ebv-nonproducing raji cells, ebv-negative human fibroblasts, or epithelial cells. such inhibition was not observed when peripheral leuocytes from subjects or neonates not sensitized to ebv were challenged. similar results were obtained in a two-stage test when th ...1975173867
herpesvirus infection in the newborn. its treatment by exchange transfusion and adenosine arabinoside.a case is reported of herpesvirus infection in the newborn following maternal genital herpesvirus infection. the rationale for treating a newborn infant with signs of disseminated herpesvirus infection by exchange transfusion in addition to adenosine arabinoside is discussed. because of the lack of data concerning therapy for a disease with a 50 to 100% mortality rate, it is important to present material such as this in order to provide information about possible new therapeutic modalities.1976174038

growth characteristics of bovine herpesvirus 1 (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) in human diploid cell strain wi-38.ibr virus was found to replicate in wi-38 cells. at a high input multiplicity the virus yield was comparable to that obtained in bovine cells, but comparable degree of cpe took longer to achieve. at a low input multiplicity of ibr virus, such as may be encountered in virus contaminated bovine serum, virus yield was only about 1% of that in bovine cells, with 50% of the cells showing cpe, followed by cell regrowth. infectious virus was not recoverable from the regrown cells by 5 weeks after initi ...1976175382
[epidemiology in the study of the role of viruses in human cancers].an epidemiological approach is very useful in the study of the role of viruses in the development of human tumors, if properly integrated with the experimental approach and laboratory studies. certain epidemiological characteristics of human tumours favour a viral etiology, e.g. space and time clustering, vertical and horizontal transmission of a tumour risk, succession in space or in time of viral induced benign lesions and of malignant tumours. in the framework of the association between the e ...1975175869
editorial: herpesvirus and cancer of uterine cervix.frequent coitus with several partners or at a very young age carries the greatest risk of cancer of the uterine cervix. lowest risk is among celibate women and those who live in communities where marriage is stable and where premarital and extramarital coitus is infrequent. all evidence points to the venereal hypothesis of cervical cancer. herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) has been implicated. immunological defenses, oxygen tension, ph, and hormonal changes in the cervical tissues may also ...1976175880
evidence of respiratory tract infection induced by equine herpesvirus, type 2, in the horse.five horses were experimentally exposed to equine herpesvirus 2 strain lk. two young foals developed chronic pharyngitis (98 and 232 days, respectively). growth characteristics, cytopathic effects (cpe), inclusion body formation, ether sensitivity, and immunofluorescent analysis indicated that the virus recovered from infected animals was a herpesvirus serologically identical with, or at least antigenically related to ehv-2 strain lk. no significant complement-fixing (cf) or virus-neutralizing ( ...1975175904
experimental models for dna-rna viral interactions: a brief review.evidences that demonstrate or imply the occurrence of dna-rna viral interactions in man and animals are reviewed. the concurrent presence of two dissimilar oncogenic viruses influenced responses both in vivo and in vitro. cell-mediated immune responses to marek's disease herpesvirus were altered in specific-pathogen-free chickens inoculated as embryos with an avian leukosis virus. the possible roles of immunological factors in the pathogenesis and control of tumor development associated with dna ...1976175924
natural mechanisms of controlling lymphotropic herpesvirus infection (marek's disease) in the chicken.four categories of natural resistance phenomena against mareks disease in chickens, i.e., maternal antibody, age resistance, genetic resistance, and natural immunization, are described. in nature, these forms of resistance probably act in concert through comlex interrelationships. the mechanisms are not well understood but include humoral immunity (maternal antibody), cell-mediated immunity, and possibly other mechanisms. the possible role of newly discovered tumor-specific antigens in cell-medi ...1976175926
immune response of monkeys to lymphotrophic herpesvirus antigens.herpesvirus saimiri induces leukemia and/or malignant lymphoma when inoculated into different species of nonhuman primates including marmosets and owl monkeys. no malignant disease, however, has been recognized in the natural host for this virus, the squirrel monkey, although a high percentage of these monkeys are chronically infected with h. saimiri. furthermore, one species of marmosets, as well as capuchin and some owl monkeys, fail to develop lymphoma following experimental virus infection b ...1976175927
preventive vaccination against herpesvirus saimiri-induced neoplasia.in this paper we discuss the use of herpesvirus saimiri as a model for the development of vaccines against herpesvirus-induced neoplasia in primates. attempts at protection against the oncogenicity of h. saimiri have centered on the inactivation of virus by heat and formalin, the production of temperature-sensitive h. saimiri mutants, and the attenuation of the virus. each of these approaches has provided information of use in the development of vaccines that may possibly be used in man.1976175928
vaccination of nonhuman primates with killed oncogenic herpesviruses.killed herpesvirus cancer vaccines were prepared by inactivation of oncogenic herpesviruses (herpesvirus saimiri and herpesvirus ateles) with heat and formaldehyde. the killed vaccines, which are not free of viral nucleic acid, were safe in 121 vaccinated monkeys of 4 different species. some of these monkeys have now been under observation for 2 years. the vaccines induced high titers of specific humoral antibodies in all vaccinated monkeys. the killed vaccines proved to be efficient against the ...1976175929
experimental infection of squirrel and marmoset monkeys with attenuated herpesvirus saimiri.herpesvirus saimiri (hvs) was propagated in vero cells for 3 passages at 39 degrees and cloned 3 times at 34 degrees. this virus was inoculated into cotton-topped marmoset and squirrel monkeys; all inoculated monkeys became infected as hvs was reisolated after their circulating lymphocytes were cultured with vero cells and measurable levels of antiviral antibodies developed that were measured by immunofluorescence and/or neutralization tests. none of the inoculated monkeys developed any signs of ...1976175930
implications of a vaccine for the prevention of epstein-barr virus infection: ethical and logistic considerations.reasons are given for considering that there is sufficiently substantial indirect and circumstantial evidence linking epstein-barr (eb) virus to african burkitt's lymphoma (bl) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma to call for a dynamic new approach to establish a causal role for the virus in these human cancers. it would seem that the only way to do this would be to develop a vaccine, vaccinate a population at risk in a high-tumor-incidence area, and subsequently follow the population for a consequentia ...1976175931
pilot studies with human interferon in herpesvirus saimiri-induced lymphoma in owl monkeys.the nature of herpesvirus saimiri-induced disease in owl monkeys is described with emphasis on those biological parameters useful in monitoring the disease. these parameters are lymphocyte response to general mitogens, lymphocyte-infective centers, and antibody to virus-associated early antigen. human interferon was used in treating owl monkeys with virus-induced leukemia. in 2 animals evidence was obtained that suggested a positive antileukemic effect.1976175932
human cervical cancer as a venereal disease.the operation of venereal factors in human cervical cancer is suggested by demographic and epidemiological data. recent evidence supporting the genital herpesvirus hypothesis is consistent with this notion. a controlled epidemiological investigation has been undertaken on the role of the male coital partner in cervical carcinogenesis. an answer is sought to the question, "is the risk of developing cervical cancer increased among the wives of men who at some other time were married to other women ...1976175940
herpesvirus type 2-related antigens and their relevance to humoral and cell-mediated immunity in patients with cervical cancer.the central theme of this communication is the interaction of herpes simplex virus type 2 with its host. in addition to the productive infection, we are confronted by latency and, as suggested by recent studies, by cancer. the possible mechanisms of latency and the role it may play as a precursor of carcinogenesis are discussed. if virus is to coexist with its host, a defined level of molecular interaction between host and viral gene products must exist. the association of ag-4 with active tumor ...1976175945
chemotherapy of herpesvirus infections.herpesviruses commonly produce lesions that come to the attention of physicians. many different chemicals are known to suppress the growth of herpesviruses in vitro, but only a few of these have found application in clinical practice. a critical assessment of the place of some of these forms of chemotherapy was briefly presented.1975175987
lymphoproliferative diseases of fowl: chromosome breaks caused in lymphocytes by jm-v herpesvirus.chromosome preparations were made of bone marrow cells and peripheral lymphocytes isolated from chicks that developed leukemia following infection with jm-v herpes-virus. karyotypic analysis revealed a high frequency of chromosome breaks and aneuploidy, as well as some pulverization of chromosomes. the number of chromosome breaks began to increase at 2-3 days post infection, and by 5 days post infection it reached 12.7% of bone marrow cells and 17.2% of peripheral lymphocytes. similarly, the num ...1976176408
effect of phosphonoacetate on marek's disease virus replication.phosphonoacetate (pa), but not any of its analogues tested, effectively inhibited avian herpesvirus replication and viral dna synthesis in cell cultures. at 100 mug/ml culture medium, pa completely inhibited the replication of marek's disease virus (mdv), herpesvirus of turkeys, and owl herpesvirus, but had no measurable effect on normal cell growth. pa also inhibited dna polymerases induced by these avian viruses. enzyme inhibition was 50% at a pa concentration of 0.2 mug/ml. at a concentration ...1976176410
herpesvirus proteins: induction of nucleoside phosphotransferase activity after herpes simplex virus infection.after herpes simplex virus infection of hamster kidney cells there is an induction of nucleoside phosphotransferase activity which can utilize amp as phosphate donor. the activity is immunologically specific for the infected cell and is induced concomitantly with the virus-coded pyrimidine deoxynucleoside kinase activity. phosphotransferase activity is not induced in cells lacking both thymidine and deoxycytidine kinase activity.1976176440

the use of human foreskin cell cultures for isolation of herpesvirus group in the diagnostic laboratory.cell cultures originated from human foreskin (hfs) tissues were used for isolation of viruses from diagnostic specimens. the foreskins were collected in hank's balanced salt solution and then processed on the same day by dispersion in trypsin. a week after the trypsin treatment of the tissues, the first cell cultures were ready to use. continuous subcultures in vitro of the cells gave rise to a colony of cells that multiplied freely in vitro and supported the growth of viruses from the herpes gr ...1976180793
isolation and characterisation of bovine herpesvirus mammillitis virus and its pathogenicity for cattle.ten viruses isolated from swabs and vesicular fluid collected from the teats of dairy cattle on 4 properties in northern victoria were identified as bovine herpes mammillitis (bhm) viruses by their physico-chemical and morphological properties and serological relationship to each other and a scottish strain of bhm virus. the viruses, isolated in bovine kidney and testicular cell cultures, produced cytopathic effects characterised by very large syncytia and eosinophilic intranuclear inculsion bod ...1976180955
in vitro biological differences between the pathogenic and the apathogenic marek's disease herpesvirus.when three pathogenic and four apathogenic isolants of marek's disease herpesvirus (mdhv) were compared, the pathogenic isolants differed from the apathogenic isolants in their in vitro growth and sensitivity to plaque inhibition by dextran sulfate. plaques by the pathogenic mdhv isolants were distinctively different in their morphology from those by the apathogenic isolants, the plaque difference being most pronounced in chick embryo fibroblase (cef) and duck embryo fibroblast (def) cell cultur ...1976180957
a possible association between plaque type and pathogenicity of marek's disease herpesvirus.eighteen isolants of marek's disease herpesvirus (mdhv) were examined for their plaque types in chicken embryo fibroblast cell cultures and their pathogenicity to an experimental line of white leghorns highly susceptible to md. seven isolants (id-1, ga, wsu-gf, and 4 field isolants) induced morphologically similar small-cell plaques (sc plaques) consisting of small round refractile cells, whereas 11 isolants (hn and 10 isolants from zoo birds) all induced large-cell plaques (lc plaques) containi ...1976180958

lymphocyte transformation and interferon production in human mononuclear cell microcultures for assay of cellular immunity to herpes simplex virus.interferon production and transformation in response to herpes simplex virus antigen were studied in microcultures of human mononuclear cells. mononuclear cells consisting of monocytes and both t and b lymphocytes were purified by ficoll-hypaque gradients. lymphocytes, predominantly t with 5% b, were obtained by passage of buffy-coat cells through nylon fiber columns. for some experiments, autochthonous macrophages and column-purified lymphocytes were stimulated with herpesvirus antigen. the eff ...1976181328
microbiologic assays and neurological toxicity during use of adenine arabinoside in humans.patients with herpesvirus infections were given intravenous injections of 10-20 mg of adenine arabinoside (ara-a)/kg per day. when given the higher dosage, some patients with chronic hematologic conditions showed mild to moderate additional depressions in the level of hemoglobin. the number of neutrophils and platelets did not decrease, even when numbers were low at the onset of treatment with ara-a. two patients with hodgkin's disease who received 20 mg of ara-a/kg per day developed a transient ...1976181499
analysis of herpesvirus dna substructure by means of restriction endonucleases.the mol. wt. and molar ratios of the hind iii and hpa i fragments of hsv-1 dna and the eco ri fragments of hsv-2 dna have been determined. results obtained suggest that dna isolated from both hsv-1 and hsv-2 consists of molecules with four different sequence arrangements which are present in similar amounts. our explanation of the cleavage patterns of these four genome arrangements with the different restriction enzymes is presented. some of the possible implications of these four genome arrange ...1976181534
structure of herpesvirus saimiri genomes: arrangement of heavy and light sequences in the m genome.herpesvirus saimiri contains two species of dna molecules. (i) the m genome is composed of 70% light (l) dna (36% cytosine plus guanine; density in cscl, 1.695 g/ml), which consists of unique sequences, and 30% heavy (h) dna (71% cytosine plus guanine; density, 1.729 g/ml). (ii) the h genome contains heavy sequences exclusively. h sequences in m and h genomes cross-hybridize completely and are cleaved identically by restriction endonuclease r-sma i into four classes of fragments with molecular w ...1976181593
recurrent conjugal neuralgia caused by herpesvirus hominis type 2.leg neuralgia is usually caused by nerve root irritation, and is seldom considered of viral origin. two married couples had recurrent leg pain in a dermatome distribution. in each episode, after one to three days of neuralgia, herpetic vesicles appear on or near the genitalia. herpesvirus hominis (hvh) was isolated from vesicles or cervix in three patients and was serologically identified as herpesvirus honinis type 2. prolonged follow-up has not shown progression of the syndrome or any permanen ...1976181606
viruslike particles in granulomatous angiitis of the central nervous system.neuropathologic examination of the brain of a 67-year-old woman with a 5-month history of progressive multiple neurologic deficits showed granulomatous angiitis of the small parenchymal and leptomeningeal blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord. electron microscopy of formalin-fixed brain disclosed intranuclear viruslike particles resembling herpesvirus. although definitive proof cannot be established without further virologic tests, this previously unreported finding suggests that some cases ...1976181693
herpesvirus infections in renal allograft recipients.17 of 37 immunosuppressed renal allograft recipients developed clinical and/or serological evidence of herpes simplex virus infections, 7 of 83 developed a zoster rash, 85 of loo had evidence of cytomegalovirus infection and in 3 of 30 an active epstein-barr virus was seen.1975181840
serological study of an outbreak of paresis due to equid herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1).six cases of paresis occurred in a swedish stud with 48 mares and a stallion. complement-fixation tests revealed a recent infection with ehv-1 in most horses of the stud. serumneutralisation tests showed rapid antibody-titre increases during the course of the disease. this type of antibody response was interpreted as induced by reinfection or, possibly, recurrent infection. two diseased mares were sacrificed. no virus could be isolated from their central nervous system (cns), liver or spleen, bu ...1976181891
[experimental infection with bovid herpesvirus 2].an experimental infection with strain kos/haskovo of the bovid herpesvirus 2, isolated in bulgaria, was induced in susceptible heifers through intradermal, intranasal, and intravenous application. regardless of the route of infection clinically the disease manifested itself as an eczema of an urticarial type, accompanied by a febrile reaction, leukopenia, erythropenia, and oligochromemia. highest titers of virus-neutralizing antibodies were established on the 30th day following infection in the ...1976181896
[herpes virus isolated from pigeons (author's transl)].a virus has been isolated from pigeons with the clinical symptoms of "infectious coryza". the virus produces numerous pocks on the chorio-allantoic membranes; livers from infected embryos have areas of necrosis. microscopic examinations reveals basophilic and eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions. the virus produces a cytopathic effect of rounded refractile cells after 24 h with rapidly spreads throughout the monolayer. the virus is sensitive to chloroform. electron microscopy of negatively stain ...1975182059
