a polycistronic mrna specified by the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus.the third largest of the nested set of subgenomic mrnas (mrna3) from the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) contains three separate open reading frames (3a, 3b, and 3c) which are not present on the next smallest of the mrnas, suggesting that this mrna may be functionally polycistronic. however, although a protein product has been identified from the 3c open reading frame, to date the coding function of 3a and 3b has not been established. we present nucleotide sequence data suggesting ...19911653486
viral pathogenesis of a nephrotropic infectious bronchitis virus isolated from commercial pullets.infectious bronchitis was diagnosed in 3-to-4-week-old pullets from an outbreak in a commercial flock in california. the disease was characterized by head swelling, watery discharge from the eyes and nostrils, and urates in kidneys. mortality ranged from 1.8% to 12.5% per week. the isolation of a coronavirus from a suspension of pooled kidneys from clinically ill chickens at the fifth passage in 10-day-old chicken embryos, gross and histologic renal lesions, and seroconversion by enzyme-linked i ...19911649594
effects of an arkansas strain of infectious bronchitis vaccine on the head-associated lymphoid tissue (halt).chicks were vaccinated with an arkansas strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) vaccine when they were 1 day (trial 1) or 4 weeks old (trial 2). starting at 4 weeks 3 days of age, chicks in both trials were subjected to an assay that measures the immunofunctional response of the gland of harder (gh), one of the components of the head-associated lymphoid tissue (halt). the assay involved multiple ocular exposures to killed brucella abortus antigen, after which tears were collected and titered ...19911649590
variability in a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system. ii. laboratory variability.an experiment was conducted to determine the amount of variability that occurred in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays when samples from common serum pools were assayed in five different labs on three consecutive days. low- (approximately 1:2000), medium- (approximately 1:4000), and high-titered (approximately 1:8000) serum pools were distributed to five poultry industry laboratories that cooperated in the study. results varied significantly among different laboratories and among different days ...19911649589
variability in a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system. i. assay variability.three experiments were conducted to characterize the variation in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) kits for infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv). expt. 1 was carried out to determine the variation in assay results when the same pools of low-, medium-, and high-titered serum were assayed. significant variation occurred among separate lots and among test plates within the same lots for the ibv and ibdv assays. in most cases, variability between days ...19911649588
effect of in ovo bursectomy on the course of an infectious bronchitis virus infection in line c white leghorn chickens.white leghorn line c chicks were surgically bursectomised (bx) in ovo to eliminate antibody production. after inoculation with infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) at 14 days after hatching, bx chicks experienced a more severe and longer lasting infection than intact chicks. the severity and duration of clinical infection in the bx chicks resembled that previously observed in the highly susceptible line 15i chicks, however no increase in mortality was observed, in contrast to the high levels of mor ...19911648896
x-ray microanalytical investigation of the response of chicken proximal tubule cells to infection with avian infectious bronchitis virus.the technique for x-ray microanalysis of frozen-hydrated bulk specimens was used to determine the intracellular and luminal fluid electrolyte concentrations in the proximal tubules of kidneys from chickens infected with infectious bronchitis virus. eight days post-infection with this virus there were significant changes in the electrolyte composition when compared with values from normal control chickens. the intracellular sodium decreased from 43 to 36 mmol/l, the chloride fell from 41 to 31 mm ...19911645225
internal entry of ribosomes on a tricistronic mrna encoded by infectious bronchitis virus.mrna3 specified by the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus appears to be functionally tricistronic, having the capacity to encode three small proteins (3a, 3b, and 3c) from separate open reading frames (orfs). the mechanism by which this can occur was investigated through in vitro translation studies using synthetic mrnas containing the 3a, 3b, and 3c orfs, and the results suggest that translation of the most distal of the three orfs, that for 3c, is mediated by an unconventional, cap-indepe ...19921527853
analysis of a 9.6 kb sequence from the 3' end of canine coronavirus genomic rna.we have analysed the organization of the 3' end of the genomic rna of canine coronavirus (ccv), a virus which has a close antigenic relationship to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), porcine respiratory coronavirus (prcv) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv). genomic rna isolated from ccv strain insavc-1-infected a72 cells was used to generate a cdna library. overlapping clones, spanning approximately 9.6 kb [from the 3' end of the polymerase gene, 1b, to the poly(a) tail] wer ...19921431811
a procedure for rna pseudoknot prediction.the rna pseudoknot has been proposed as a significant structural motif in a wide range of biological processes of rnas. a pseudoknot involves intramolecular pairing of bases in a hairpin loop with bases outside the stem of the loop to form a second stem and loop region. in this study, we propose a method for searching and predicting pseudoknots that are likely to have functional meaning. in our procedure, the orthodox hairpin structure involved in the pseudoknot is required to be both statistica ...19921378773
location of antigenic sites defined by neutralizing monoclonal antibodies on the s1 avian infectious bronchitis virus glycopolypeptide.neutralizing monoclonal antibodies directed against five antigenic sites on the spike (s) s1 glycopolypeptide of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were used to select neutralization-resistant variants of the virus. by comparing the nucleotide sequence of such variants with the sequence of the ibv parent strain, we located five antigenic sites on the amino acid sequence of the s1 glycopolypeptide. the variants had mutations within three regions corresponding to amino acid residues 24 to 61, ...19921372036

induction of anti-viral immune responses by immunization with recombinant-dna encoded avian coronavirus nucleocapsid protein.immune responses to the infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) nucleocapsid protein were studied using a recombinant-dna expression product. in mice, a lymphocyte proliferative response and a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to ibv were induced upon immunization with this nucleocapsid protein. next, we studied the role of the expressed nucleocapsid protein in induction of a protective immune response to ibv in chickens. chickens were primed with nucleocapsid protein and subsequently boosted wit ...19921311490
rapid detection and identification of avian infectious bronchitis virus.a rapid and sensitive method for the detection and unambiguous typing of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is described. rna was isolated from ibv-infected allantoic fluid and was transcribed into cdna. this cdna was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. the polymerase chain reaction products were subsequently analyzed on an agarose gel. the presence of ibv-specific rna in the allantoic fluid then allowed the amplification of a 438-bp dna fragment from the nucleocapsid (n) gene. for the ty ...19921310335
epithelia-damaging virus infections affect vitamin a status in chickens.the effect of infection with infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and reovirus (rv) on vitamin a status was investigated in chickens with a normal or marginal intake of vitamin a. at the age of 4 wk, chickens were infected with either ibv or rv, primarily affecting the respiratory or intestinal tract, respectively. both viruses lowered plasma retinol levels significantly. the effect was more pronounced in chickens fed a diet marginally deficient in vitamin a than in those fed a diet adequate in vit ...19921310111
coronavirus ibv-induced membrane fusion occurs at near-neutral ph.the lysosomotropic agent nh4cl caused a reduction of 80-95% in the number of chick kidney (ck) cells and vero cells infected by infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strain beaudette, as determined by immunofluorescence at the end of the first replication cycle. inhibition only occurred when nh4cl was present during the first 2 h after infection. syncytium formation was studied during replication of ibv-beaudette in vero cells. some cell-cell fusion occurred at ph 7.0 and ph 6.5 but it was optimal a ...19921309994
identification of two new polypeptides encoded by mrna5 of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus.the second smallest subgenomic messenger rna, mrna5, of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus includes in its "5' unique region" two separate open reading frames (5a and 5b), whose coding function has not so far been established, and thus it may represent a dicistronic messenger rna. we report here that two polypeptides with the sizes expected for the 5a and 5b products can be synthesised by in vitro translation of a single artificial mrna containing both the 5a and 5b orfs. to establish w ...19921309280
bovine coronavirus spike glycoprotein: localization of an immunodominant region at the amino-terminal end of s2.we have identified the binding site of monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against the s2 subunit of the bovine coronavirus spike (s) glycoprotein. the location of this site was first investigated by using prokaryotic expression of dna restriction fragments covering the entire s gene. the amino acid sequence containing the antibody binding site was shortened from 70 to 20 amino acids by digestion of plasmid dna with exonuclease iii, followed by sequencing of the smallest digestion product encoding an i ...19921281870
single and mixed infections of avian infectious bronchitis virus and mycoplasma gallisepticum.comparative studies of the clinical signs, pathological changes, multiplication of the pathogens and serological responses were made of groups of chickens infected with either or both avian infectious bronchitis virus and mycoplasma gallisepticum. electron microscopic examination of thin sections of infected tracheas showed that the multiplication of m. gallisepticum was greatly enhanced in the tracheas of chickens which had been previously or simultaneously infected with avian infectious bronch ...19751126565
the neutralizing characteristics of strains of infectious bronchitis virus as measured by the constant-virus variable-serum method in chicken tracheal cultures.the constant-virus variable-serum neutralization test in chicken tracheal organ cultures was employed in cross-neutralization tests with the following infectious bronchitis viruses: massachusetts 41, connecticut, iowa 97, iowa 609, holte, jmk, clark 333, se 17, florida, and arkansas 99. these viruses all proved serologically distinct by this method. chickens immunized with the connecticut strain and later challenged with arkansas 99 were not protected against it.19751120040
characterization of a new infectious bronchitis virus isolate. iii. cell-culture adaptation of clark 333.the clark 333 strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was substantially resistant to primary chicken cell-culture adaptation. more than 40 serial embryo passages were required before the virus would produce cytopathic alterations upon cell-culture inoculation. the cytopathic effect was characteristic of the effect of reported for ibv. adaptation was not accomplished by alternating serial passages in embryo and cell-cultured systems. a careful monitoring of cell-culture fluid infectivity by e ...19751120038
