chromosomal sites for marek's disease virus dna in two chicken lymphoblastoid cell lines mdcc-msb1 and mdcc-rp1.in situ hybridization of viral dna fragments to metaphase chromosomes of two chicken t-lymphoblastoid cell lines (mdcc) demonstrated that marek's disease virus dna was located in the short arm of chromosome 2 of mdcc-msb1 and mdcc-rp1 cells and in the short arm of chromosome 4 of mdcc-msb1 cells. the mdv dna sequences in these chromosomes are not in the vicinity of oncogenes or integrated retroviruses that have been previously identified in chicken chromosomes.19863012870
identification with monoclonal antibodies of virus-specific dna-binding proteins in the nuclei of cells infected with three serotypes of marek's disease virus-related viruses.two groups of virus-specific polypeptides were identified in the nuclei of infected cells by cross-reacting monoclonal antibodies with three serotypes of marek's disease virus. of these, a 135,000-molecular-weight polypeptide common to all three serotypes was found to bind to both double-stranded and single-stranded dnas.19863012112
herpesvirus infection prevents activation of cytoplasmic cholesteryl esterase in arterial smooth muscle cells.herpesvirus infection has been shown to alter the cholesteryl ester cycle in avian arterial smooth muscle cells, resulting in cytoplasmic cholesteryl ester accumulation (hajjar, d. p., falcone, d. j., fabricant, c. g., and fabricant, j. (1985) j. biol. chem. 260, 6124-6128). in this study, we attempted to define some of the regulatory mechanisms associated with the control of cytoplasmic cholesteryl esterase in marek's disease herpesvirus (mdv)-infected cells. we found that cholesteryl esterase ...19863011790
amplification of a tandem direct repeat within inverted repeats of marek's disease virus dna during serial in vitro passage.dna of the oncogenic strain bc-1 of marek's disease virus contains three units of tandem direct repeats with 132 base pairs in the terminal repeat and internal repeat, respectively, of the long region of the marek's disease virus genome, whereas the attenuated, nononcogenic viral dna contains multiple units of the tandem direct repeats.19863009876
tests of association of immunoglobulin allotype genes and viral oncogenesis in chickens.chickens from regional poultry research laboratory (rprl) inbred line 6(3) are resistant to virally-induced marek's disease (md) and lymphoid leukosis (ll) and are relatively strong regressors of virally-induced rous sarcomas. in contrast, rprl line 100 chickens are highly susceptible to md and ll and are weaker regressors of rous sarcomas than line 6(3). rprl lines 100 and 6(3) differ for alleles at the igg-1 (g-1) allotype locus, but have identical igm-1 (m-1) allotype alleles. to test the pos ...19863009316

production of herpesvirus of turkeys in microcarrier culturing system--a new method for production of vaccine against marek's disease.a microcarrier (mc) culturing system for production of a vaccine against marek's disease virus is presented. cytodex-3 beads (pharmacia) and de-53 microgranular (whatman) are the recommended microcarriers. primary cells from chick embryo as well as cells from a quail cell line (qt-6, established from a japanese quail) were found to be good hosts for growth of herpesvirus of turkeys (hvt). hvt, the vaccine strain against marek's disease, was successfully grown and harvested on the above mentioned ...19852995176
on the specificity of the immunoglobulin g produced by chickens experimentally infected with marek's disease virus.in chickens experimentally infected with marek's disease virus (mdv) an increased amount of immunoglobulin g is produced. using a technique of quantitative crossed immunoelectrophoresis it has been shown, that 70% of this immunoglobulin g is non-specific. only 18% could be absorbed with mdv strain cprl vii-infected chicken kidney cells, and only 5% with mdv-induced lymphoblastoid cells of the mdcc-msb1 cell line. it is hypothesized that the production the unspecific immunoglobulin g is caused by ...19852993996
genomic expansion of marek's disease virus dna is associated with serial in vitro passage.an ecori restriction endonuclease pattern of md11 virus dna, a very virulent strain of marek's disease virus (mdv), was obtained by using total cellular dna from infected cells. with the ecori restriction endonuclease pattern and a published bamhi map of mdv (fukuchi et al., j. virol. 51:102-109), we constructed a partial ecori map of a series of mdv clones (gift from h. j. kung). the clones were used to identify a region of the md11 genome which is altered as the oncogenic virus is passaged in ...19852987523
differences in the processing of secreted glycoprotein a induced by marek's disease virus and herpesvirus of turkeys.the steps from the precursor to the processed forms of a secreted glycoprotein (ga) of marek's disease virus (mdv) and of herpesvirus of turkeys (hvt) were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates from the cell lysate and medium of infected cultures with monoclonal antibodies. differences between mdv- and hvt-ga were particularly observed in isoelectric points of the glycosylated or unglycosylated precursor forms.19852987399
gel electrophoretic analysis of polypeptides from nucleocapsids of marek's disease virus strains and herpesvirus of turkey.the polypeptides of nucleocapsids of marek's disease virus (mdv) strains with different biological properties and of antigenically related herpesvirus of turkey (hvt) strains were analysed by one- and two-dimensional (1d and 2d, respectively) gel electrophoresis. based on small differences in migration behaviour (size and charge) of a number of corresponding nucleocapsid polypeptides, the virus strains could be differentiated into three groups. the polypeptide pattern of group i, comprising the ...19852986577
effects of chemically or virus-induced immunodepression on response of chickens to avian leukosis virus.the effects of chemically or virus-induced immunodepression on the infection profile (development of viremia and antibody) and shedding of avian leukosis virus (alv) were studied in progeny chickens of experimental or commercial breeder flocks. chickens were infected with alv subgroup a by contact at hatching and by oral inoculation at 4-5 weeks of age. in the first experiment, chickens were inoculated with a virulent strain of infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) at 1 day or 6 weeks of age. i ...19852985037
the structure of marek disease virus dna: the presence of unique expansion in nonpathogenic viral dna.dna of marek disease virus (mdv) consists of two unique regions ul and us flanked by long inverted repeat regions trl and irl, and short inverted repeat regions trs and irs, respectively, similar to herpes simplex virus dna. comparison of restriction patterns between pathogenic and nonpathogenic mdv dna was made to identify a region of viral dna different between these two types of mdv, as it may be responsible for the tumorigenicity of mdv in chickens. the results indicated that bamhi-d and -h, ...19852983314
map location of homologous regions between marek's disease virus and herpesvirus of turkey and the absence of detectable homology in the putative tumor-inducing gene.the dna region having homology between marek's disease virus and herpesvirus of turkey was assigned to the restriction map of marek's disease virus by southern blot hybridization. under moderate conditions at the level of 15% mismatching, homology was found to be distributed throughout the marek's disease virus genome. the long inverted-repeat regions (trl and irl), which are considered to play a significant role in tumorigenicity, did not show any homology to herpesvirus of turkey dna.19852983105
identification of marek's disease virus-specific antigens in marek's disease lymphoblastoid cell lines using monoclonal antibody against virus-specific phosphorylated polypeptides.for identification of the antigens specific to marek's disease virus (mdv) in virus-non-producer lymphoblastoid cell lines established from a tumor of marek's disease (md), hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against the antigens were isolated. immunogens for preparation of the hybridomas were purified from the lysate of an md-lymphoblastoid cell line, msb1, by affinity chromatography coupled with chicken anti-mdv serum immunoglobulin g. three of the mabs obtained, mb1, mb2 and mb3 ...19852982746
virus-induced atherosclerosis. herpesvirus infection alters aortic cholesterol metabolism and accumulation.infection of normocholesterolemic, specific-pathogen-free chickens with marek's disease herpesvirus (mdv) has been shown histologically to lead to chronic atherosclerosis like that in humans. the development of herpesvirus-induced atherosclerosis in vivo and the presence of specific marek's antigen within aortic cells suggested that mdv infection may modify lipid metabolism and lead to significant lipid accumulation. experiments reported herein were designed to determine the types and quantity o ...19862934987
marek's disease virus serotype-1 antigens a and b and their unglycosylated precursors detected by western blot analysis of infected cells.the antigenic profile of cell cultures infected with marek's disease virus (mdv) was determined by the immunoblotting method using convalescent immune serum obtained from chickens that survived infection with mdv strain ga5. the mdv antigen profile in infected cell lysates could be accurately determined since this method has advantages over the immunoprecipitation method used in other studies. we studied six very virulent mdv isolates and the prototype of serotype 1 mdv, the ga5 strain. immunobl ...19882852416
rna transcripts of marek's disease virus (mdv) serotype-1 in infected and transformed cells.rna was isolated from two strains of marek's disease virus (mdv-z and mdv-b). the virus was grown in duck embryo fibroblasts (def) for 96 hr, 72 hr in the presence of phosphonoacetic acid (paa) and 24 hr in the presence of cycloheximide added at the time of infection. with the use of dna probes representing about 80% of the mdv genome, an extensive northern blot analysis of the rna was carried out. a similar analysis was done with rna extracted from the mdv-transformed cell line msb-1. this stud ...19882852415
