elisa for bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) antibody with hirt supernatant.detailed studies were made of the ability of hirt supernatant (hs) from bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) infected cultures to sensitize plates for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the ultracentrifuged pellet of hs had less sensitizing activity than the supernatant, but the antigen was removed completely by 0.22 micron filters and to some extent by 0.45 micron filters; it was minimally affected by sonication; it was destroyed by the action of pronase but not by dnaase i when a kallikrein ina ...19873038916
use of recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon in reducing respiratory disease induced by bovine herpesvirus type 1.intranasal or intramuscular treatment of calves with recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon before challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and pasteurella haemolytica reduced clinical signs, number of sick days, lung lesions, and weight loss. the effective dose was determined to be relatively broad within the range of 1 to 50 mg per animal. no adverse effects were observed even at high doses of interferon (50 mg per animal). administration before virus infection was more effective than administr ...19873038008
detection of bovine herpesvirus-1 nucleic acid sequences, using a dot-blot hybridization procedure.a sensitive and specific procedure for the detection of argentine isolates of bovine herpesvirus-1 was developed. the procedure was based on a dot-blot, nucleic acid hybridization, using 32p, nick-translated, plasmidic probes. the probes contained cloned bam h1 restriction fragments in the left half of the viral genome. the detection limit of the procedure was 10 pg of viral dna.19873037953
protection of cattle from bovine herpesvirus type i (bhv-1) infection by immunization with individual viral glycoproteins.the major glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) were found to induce high levels of antibody in cattle which could neutralize virus and participate in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity of bhv-1-infected cells. immunized animals were fully protected from disease, using a bhv-1/pasteurella haemolytica aerosol challenge model but not from infection with the virus. thus, virus could still replicate in the nasal passages of immunized animals, although to a lesser extent t ...19873037783
the genome of caprine herpesvirus 1: genome structure and relatedness to bovine herpesvirus 1.caprine herpesvirus 1 (caphv-1) dna was examined by electron microscopy, restriction site mapping and homology studies with bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) dna. although the restriction site maps differed significantly, we showed that the genome structures of caphv-1 and bhv-1 were identical and that the dnas shared a high degree of base sequence homology.19873037021
viral-bacterial pneumonia in calves: effects on plasma eicosanoids and long chain fatty acids.in the pathogenesis of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, immunodepression induced by stress or respiratory viral infection permits superinfection of the lungs with pasteurella hemolytica, which results in exudative fibrinous pneumonia. therefore, bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis was induced by sequential inoculations of calves with bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1, 3 x 10(7) tissue culture infectious dose 50 (tcid50)/nostril), followed 3 days later by challenge with p. hemolytica (15 x 10(9) colony-fo ...19873036736
comparison of stationary and roller cultures for the isolation of herpesviruses affecting livestock.the effect of rotating cultures on the isolation and cultivation of pseudorabies, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and equine rhinopneumonitis viruses was studied. serial ten-fold dilutions of laboratory strains of these viruses and field strains of pseudorabies virus were inoculated in two each of roller and stationary tubes of appropriate cell cultures. all tubes were examined daily for the appearance of cytopathic effects. roller cultures were found to slightly enhance the speed and extent o ...19873035348
reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by transport.transport was studied as a cause of reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (bovine herpesvirus-1; bhv-1) in heifers vaccinated 2-6 months before transport, using a double dose of the thermosensitive (ts) vaccine strain (tracherine). eight out of 19 animals showed ts strain re-excretion over a period of 1-3 days, beginning, in 5 out of the 8 heifers, the day after transport. in 14 other heifers, only sera were examined by sero-neutralisation: only 1 out of these 14 animals showed ...19873034502
reactivity of monoclonal antibodies to proteins of a neurotropic bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) strain and to proteins of representative bhv-1 strains.15 monoclonal antibodies (mcabs) were induced with the neuropathogenic strain n 569 of bovine herpesvirus 1 type 3 (bhv-1.3). nine of them could be shown by radioimmunoprecipitation assay to react with viral glycoproteins and two of these mcabs were able to neutralize strain n 569. the reactivity of these 15 monoclonals was compared with 11 monoclonal antibodies induced with a bhv-1.1 strain. the available monoclonal antibodies made it possible to characterize bhv-1.3 and to classify bhv-1 into ...19873034198
reactivation in calves of latent infection by bovid herpesvirus-4.nine calves, six of which had been infected with strain 85/bh 16tv and three with strain 85/bh 232tn of bovid herpesvirus-4 (bhv-4), were treated with dexamethasone (dms) three months after infection. dms administration did not induce any clinical signs of disease, but bhv-4 was isolated from the nasal swabbings of all calves for a maximum of 8 days after the start of dms treatment. the virus was also isolated from the nerve tissues, nasal mucosa, lymph nodes, lung and spleen of 4 calves that we ...19873033450
highly sensitive antigen detection procedures for the diagnosis of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis: amplified elisa and reverse passive haemagglutination.the sensitivity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of bovid herpesvirus 1 antigen was increased by up to 50-fold using the biotin-avidin interaction to amplify the reaction, when compared with a simple sandwich elisa. an alternative immunoassay, reverse passive haemagglutination (rpha), had a similar sensitivity to the amplified elisa, and was technically simpler to perform. both the amplified elisa and the rpha could detect viral antigen in the nasal secretions of ...19873031873
hemagglutination inhibition and virus neutralizing response of rabbits inoculated with bovine herpesvirus 1 subunit vaccine.the immunogenicity of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) hemagglutinin has been investigated. both live and nonionic detergent solubilized vaccines were prepared and 5000 hemagglutinating units (hau) were injected subcutaneously into rabbits. both types of vaccine induced a good antibody response but live virus was four times more efficient in inducing hemagglutination inhibiting and neutralizing antibodies than either triton x-100- or octylglucoside-solubilized subunit vaccine. blotting analysis ...19873031871
