fusion properties of cells persistently infected with human parainfluenza virus type 3: participation of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase in membrane fusion.cells persistently infected with human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hpf3) exhibit a novel phenotype. they are completely resistant to fusion with each other but readily fuse with uninfected cells. we demonstrate that the inability of these cells to fuse with each other is due to a lack of cell surface neuraminic acid. neuraminic acid is the receptor for the hpf3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (hn) glycoprotein, the molecule responsible for binding of the virus to cell surfaces. uninfected cv-1 cells ...19911851852
infection of cultured human tracheal epithelial cells by human parainfluenza virus types 2 and 3.despite growing information of the effects of human respiratory virus infection on airway physiology, little information is available on the mechanisms of pathology and pathophysiology in these infections. the human respiratory pathogens, parainfluenza virus types 2 and 3 (hpiv2, hpiv3, respectively), clinically cause laryngotracheobronchitis (infection of the large proximal airways). in order to examine the pathobiology of these viruses in airway cells of human origin, we exposed primary cultur ...19911849915
numerous transitions in human parainfluenza virus 3 rna recovered from persistently infected cells.the nucleotide sequences at the 3'-termini of human parainfluenza virus 3 (hpiv3) genomic rnas recovered from two lines of persistently infected llc-mk2 cells were determined following pcr amplification. after 29 months of persistence the 3'-end of the hpiv3 genome was found to be highly mutated. interestingly, the only types of nucleotide changes observed were u to c and a to g transitions. both u to c and a to g transitions were present on individual rna molecules. the data indicate that biase ...19911849685
pathogenesis of human parainfluenza virus 3 infection in two species of cotton rats: sigmodon hispidus develops bronchiolitis, while sigmodon fulviventer develops interstitial pneumonia.human parainfluenza virus 3 replicates well in the noses and lungs of two species of cotton rats, sigmodon hispidus and sigmodon fulviventer. peak viral titers of nearly 10(6) pfu/g are reached 2 days after infection in both tissues, are maintained through day 5, and are equivalent in the two species. infectious virus is eliminated by day 8 after infection. both species produce a strong neutralizing antibody response with titers of 1:10,000 4 weeks after infection. viral replication in the nasal ...19911845878
homooligomerization of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein of human parainfluenza virus type 3 occurs before the acquisition of correct intramolecular disulfide bonds and mature immunoreactivity.the posttranslational maturation of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (hn) glycoprotein of human parainfluenza type 3 virus (piv3) was investigated in pulse-chase experiments in which folding was monitored by immunoprecipitation with conformation-dependent antibodies and gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions and oligomerization was monitored by chemical cross-linking and sedimentation in sucrose gradients. the acquisition of mature immunoreactivity and the formation of correct intramole ...19911707981
viral rna and protein synthesis in two llc-mk2 cell lines persistently infected with human parainfluenza virus 3.two lines of llc-mk2 cells persistently infected with human parainfluenza virus 3 (hpiv-3) have been maintained in culture for approximately 3 years. subgenomic rnas (putative defective interfering particle genomes) were detected in virions released from both persistently infected cultures. in one of the persistently infected cell lines cyclic variation in the production of virions containing standard virus genomic-size (50s) rna and subgenomic rna was observed. the molar ratio of subgenomic rna ...19901693460
