transcription of overlapping sets of rnas from the genome of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus: a novel method for mapping rnas.the insect baculovirus autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acnpv) contains a double-stranded, supercoiled circular genome of 126 to 129 kilobase pairs in length. in cultured spodoptera frugiperda insect cells the virus replications, and early and late phases of viral genome expression are discernible. we previously mapped 5 early and at least 32 late different viral polypeptides on the viral genome (h. esche, h. lübbert, b. siegmann, and w. doerfler, embo j. 1:1629-1633, 1982). ho ...19846090702
the antiviral spectrum of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine.the antiviral activity spectrum of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (bvdu) is not restricted to herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and varicella-zoster virus (vzv) but also encompasses several other herpesviruses such as suid herpesvirus type 1 (shv-1), bovid herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1), simian varicella virus (svv), herpesvirus saimiri, herpesvirus platyrrhinae, and the baculovirus trichoplusia ni multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus. other herpesviruses such as herpes simplex virus type 2, ...19846092320
conservation of genome organization in two multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis viruses.the genome of the multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus of orgyia pseudotsugata was mapped by examining overlapping hindiii fragments from cosmid clones which had been constructed from partial hindiii digests of viral dna. five opmnpv cosmid clones containing fragments encompassing the entire opmnpv genome were hydridized to blots of dna from the multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus of autographa californica. the hybridization pattern indicated that the genomes of these viruses are similarly ...19846092694
phenotypic characterization and physical mapping of a temperature-sensitive mutant of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus defective in dna synthesis.a ts mutant of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acmnpv), ts8, was shown to be defective in viral dna synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature. ts8-infected cells synthesized only early viral polypeptides at the nonpermissive temperature, and in contrast to wild-type (wt)-infected cells, showed no inhibition of host cell protein synthesis. the effect of the mutation on viral dna synthesis was not immediately reversed after shifting infected cells down from the nonpermissive te ...19846093362
chemically-defined media for production of insect cells and viruses in vitro.two chemically-defined media are described. they support the growth of a) an established cell line of spodoptera frugiperda cells and b) two established mosquito cell lines from aedes aegypti and anopheles gambiae. the replication of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acnpv) in s. frugiperda cells grown in a defined medium is reported.19806102531
the process of virus assembly in insect virus mixed infections.interference occurred upon infection of the cabbage moth caterpillars (mamestra brassicae l.) with a mixture of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (npv) and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (cpv), resulting in the impairment of virus assembly, and formation of abnormal nucleocapsids. at the same time protein supercapsids were produced normally, but contained no infectious virions. when insects were infected with related viruses, the virions developed as usual, but the protein supercapsids revealed abnorma ...19836139945
molecular cloning of dna complementary to mrna of the baculovirus autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus: location and gene products of rna transcripts found late in infection.dnas complementary to late autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acnpv) mrna were synthesized by reverse transcription and cloned in escherichia coli by using pbr322 as a vector. eleven different cdnas were distinguished in our screening of 45 acnpv-homologous clones. location of the regions of cdna homology with respect to the acnpv physical map showed that the 11 cdnas were dispersed throughout the genome. the most abundant cdna insertion, representing approximately one-third of t ...19826184487
biological and biochemical investigations on five european isolates of mamestra brassica nuclear polyhedrosis virus.five multiply enveloped european isolates of mamestra brassicae nuclear polyhedrosis virus (oxford, german, french, dutch and danish) were found to be very closely related serologically using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) double antibody sandwich method and immunodiffusion. by sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of viral proteins and restriction endonuclease analysis of dna using seven enzymes there appeared to be two variants as the oxford and german isolates were distinct fr ...19816271101
replication of heliothis zea baculovirus in an insect cell line.the baculovirus, heliothis zea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (hzsnpv), was grown in the h. zea cell line, iplb-1075. light microscopy observations showed that 95% of inoculated cells had cpe by 6 days postinoculation (p.i.). growth curves of intracellular and extracellular virus showed that maximum titers (tcid50 units) were reached 3-4 days p.i. studies on hzsnpv morphogenesis revealed that ultrastructural events were typical of baculovirus replication in vitro. ecori restriction enzyme analyses o ...19816276328

virus envelope acquisition of nuclear polyhedrosis virus in vitro.there have been several reports concerned with the replication and morphogenesis of insect baculoviruses during the past decade [1--7]. while there is general agreement as to the assembly of the virus on the basis of electron microscopic studies, there are still questions regarding the details of the replicative mechanisms, such as the acquisition of the virus envelope. three possible ways have been proposed to describe envelope formation of nuclear polyhedrosis virus: (i) acquisition of budding ...19817018096
[pathohistological and ultrastructural studies of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus in the silkworm (bombyx mori l.)].histopathologic studies were carried out on fifth instar silkworm moths of the super 1 x super 2 hybrid infected orally with baculovirus bombycis along with ultrastructural investigations of the pathogen itself. it was found that the earliest changes in the moths set in at the 60th hour post inoculation. they consisted in the aggregation of chromatin, and the formation of polyhedral bodies in the fatty body, hypodermis, and peritracheal matrix; these appeared in the glandular tissue too, but not ...19807020236
effects of red-headed in sawfly, neodiprion lecontei, nuclear polyhedrosis virus on rainbow trout, salmo gairdneri, and daphnia pulex.the effects of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus (npv) of the red-headed pine sawfly, neodiprion lecontei, on rainbow trout, salmo gairdneri, were investigated. the fish were exposed to this virus by intubation and topical application and no ill-effects were observed. similarly, no ill-effects were detected in daphnia pulex when the same npv was added to their culture medium. the materials were lyophilized, npv-infected sawfly larvae (normally used for insect control), lyophilized, uninfected larvae ...19817026655
improved replication of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus in roller bottles: characterization of the progeny virus.a reproducible growth curve was established for the propagation of autographa californica (speyer) nuclear polyhedrosis virus (acmnpv) in a continuous insect line from spodoptera frugiperda (j. e. smith) during large-volume production. a newly developed method for quantitation of polyhedra inclusion bodies (pib) by electron microscopy (em) during the growth cycle was compared to hemocytometer counts. the virus particles (vp) ratio to pfu and vp per pib were established by em methods. optimal yie ...19817028679
baculovirus bioassay not dependent upon polyhedra production.an immunoperoxidase-based quantitative assay has been developed for infectious units of autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus infecting tn-368 cells. major benefits of this assay over existing quantitative assays for baculoviruses are that it is not dependent upon polyhedra production, it is clear-cut and easy to score, and results are obtained within 24 h.19817028916
growth of nuclear polyhedrosis virus in larvae of the cabbage moth, mamestra brassicae l.growth of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (npv) in 5 larval instars of cabbage moth, mamestra brassicae, has been quantified using 2 methods. numbers of polyhedra were estimated by light microscope counts while concentrations of virus protein antigen were estimated using elisa. virus growth was rapid initially but slowed during its later stages, although elisa protein concentrations decreased once a peak had been reached. there was a linear correlation between polyhedral counts and virus protein duri ...19817034687
[transfection conditions for baculovirus dna in an insect cell line].the following conditions were found to be necessary to achieve infection of a spodoptera frugiperda cell line with purified dna of nuclear polyhedrosis virus of spodoptera exempta (npv): (1) cell monolayers shall be prepared one day before the experiment; the number of cells added to 35-mm wells of plastic clusters (falcon) shall be 1.0 x10(6)-1.1x10(6), and the cells shall be in the stage of logarythmic growth; dna shall be diluted in hebs-buffer (ph 6.95-7.05); the volume of the mixtures added ...19827090350
