| correlation between cyclophosphamide-induced viral susceptibility and depletion of junin virus-induced suppressor populations. | in contrast to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, another arenavirus, junin virus (jv), the etiologic agent of argentine hemorrhagic fever, when inoculated into suckling mice, induces lethal meningoencephalitis characterized by a delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth)-like immune response. however, the adult balb/c mouse is resistant to infection and no dth reaction can be seen. this different viral sensitivity may be related to the development of an antigen non-specific dth-suppressor cell pathwa ... | 1992 | 1315368 |
| current progress towards vaccines for arenavirus-caused diseases. | the arenaviruses are primarily viruses of rodents, but some members of the group cause severe disease (argentine and bolivian haemorrhagic fevers and lassa fever) when transmitted to humans in the specific areas of the world where they are enzootic. current research of relevance to the provision of vaccines against these diseases, which highlights many of the problems encountered generally in the development of vaccines, is reviewed here. although one of the classical approaches to vaccine produ ... | 1992 | 1311492 |
| immunoperoxidase tracing of junin virus neural route after footpad inoculation. | to determine the pathway adopted by peripherally inoculated junin virus (jv) to reach the cns, rat tissues were serially harvested to trace the sequence of viral progression from right hind footpad to brain. immunoperoxidase (pap) labeling of viral antigen, concomitantly with infectivity assays and histological examination of each selected sample, were carried out. as from the 2nd week post-infection (pi), neurological disease inducing 100% mortality at 1 month was evident. at day 5 pi, viral an ... | 1992 | 1309637 |
| [experimental junin virus infection in the mouse: rototype of the disease]. | as previously postulated, the pathological changes which develop in 1-4 day old mice after intracerebral inoculation of 1-1000 dl50 of junín virus prototype strain (xj), was designated as experimental hemorrhagic fever of the mouse ehfm. in this paper, virus distribution, hematological alterations, interferon and circulating antibody responses are described. a mortality of 93.45% occurred between 9 and 20 days post-infection (p.i.), with 81.6% of death occurring between 11 and 18 days p.i. this ... | 1975 | 1208899 |

| viral haemorrhagic fevers of man. | this article reviews the current state of knowledge on the viral haemorrhagic fevers that infect man, namely smallpox, chikungunya fever, dengue fever, rift valley fever, yellow fever, crimean haemorrhagic fever, kyasanur forest disease, omsk haemorrhagic fever, argentinian haemorrhagic fever (junin virus), bolivian haemorrhagic fever (machupo virus), lassa fever, haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, and marburg and ebola virus diseases. | 1978 | 310725 |
| passive immunity against junín virus in mice. | passive immunity, naturally acquired from immune mothers or artificially induced by the administration of homologous hyperimmune serum, conferred on suckling mice a high degree of resistance against infection with junín virus. maternal antibodies in the circulating blood of the young were not detectable in the first days after birth, but rised rapidly from the 8th to the 20th day of lactation. by cross-foster nursing experiments it was shown that the greater part of the transmission of passive i ... | 1975 | 239579 |

| immunofluorescent anti-junin virus antibodies in argentine hemorrhagic fever. | immunofluorescent anti-junin virus antibodies were detected in 15 nonfatal cases of argentine hemorrhagic fever between the 2nd and 3rd week after onset of symptoms. in most cases, antibodies appeared by the day of clinical improvement, or between 2 and 4 days later. it was interesting to note that in 5 of 11 cases studied, the first positive serum sample presented anti-junin virus immunofluorescent antibodies in iga. in 2 of these 5 cases, iga was the only immunoglobulin with antibody activity ... | 1979 | 227813 |
| argentine hemorrhagic fever: a primate model. | experimental junin virus infection of a new world primate, callithrix jacchus, was evaluated. the virus produced anorexia, loss of weight, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and hemorrhagic and neurological symptoms and terminated in death. virus was recovered from urine, blood samples and all tissues taken at autopsy. these preliminary observations show that several aspects of the experimental disease in c. jacchus are quite similar to severe natural argentine hemorrhagic fever of man. | 1979 | 227811 |

| temperature sensitivity of the arenavirus junin isolated from persistently infected vero cells. | a persistently infected cell culture was established from vero cells surviving primary infection with wild-type junin virus (jvwt). the cells were refractory to superinfection by both junin virus and the related tacaribe virus. replication of virus released from the persistently infected cells (jvpi) was inhibited at 39 degrees. jvpi did not interfere with jvwt at 37 degrees, and it was inactivated at 37, 40, 43, 46 and 50 degrees much more rapidly than was jvwt. | 1979 | 222707 |
| effect of glucosamine on the replication of the arenavirus junín in vero cells. | when vero cells infected with junín virus are cultured in the presence of 16 mm glucosamine, no infectious virus is produced and no surface antigens or virions are detected. cytoplasmic viral antigen, however, is synthesized normally. | 1979 | 218900 |
| presence of viral particles in the salivary gland of calomys musculinus infected with junin virus by a natural route. | calomys musculinus, a wild cricetid rodent, is one of the main reservoirs of junin virus. six of these animals were infected by being placed in close contact with animals that had been experimentally infected with the virus. they were sacrificed at 10, 15 and 20 months after contact, and their salivary glands were studied by ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and virological methods. two animals developed chronic viremia and low titers of complement-fixing antibodies. these animals were the on ... | 1979 | 218895 |

| replication of dengue and junin viruses in cultured rabbit and human endothelial cells. | the flavivirus dengue and the arenavirus junin are both associated with a hemorrhagic shock syndrome in man. we have demonstrated the replication of these viruses in vitro in both rabbit and human endothelial cells by viral titers and immunofluorescent antibody studies. rabbit endothelium established in continuous culture was derived from vena cava, while human cells in primary culture were derived from umbilical veins. in rabbit endothelium, dengue-2 virus passaged through monkey kidney monolay ... | 1978 | 208980 |
| [cellular hypersensitivity in the infection of mice by junin virus. iii. experience with cr51 an antitheta serum]. | several aspects of the appearance and development of delayed hypersensitivity in mice infected with junin virus are described. the results obtained showed that the development of the immunological mechanisms occurs irrespective of age. spleen cells of donor mice inoculated with one i.p. dose of junin virus had a poor cytotoxic activity, as demonstrated by 51cr release and adoptive immunity procedures. spleen cells treated with anti-theta serum and complement did not strikingly affect the develop ... | 1977 | 208110 |
| [cellular hypersensitivity in the infection of mice by junin virus. i. passive transfer]. | the data presented confirm previous evidence of delayed hypersensitivity in mice following infection with junin virus. adaptive transfer of sensitized cells from adult mice which had received 5 junin virus injections into preinfected newborn mice shortened their survival by 72 hours. it was clear, however, that the development of the immunological mechanism in adult mice occurred under certain conditions. this evidence was confirmed by the observations that the induction of cell-mediated immunit ... | 1977 | 208109 |
| argentine hemorrhagic fever. alterations of the complement system and anti-junin-virus humoral response. | we investigated immunologic mechanisms and the role of complement in the pathogenesis of argentine hemorrhagic fever, a disease caused by the junin virus, a member of the arenavirus group. total serum complement activity was reduced to 68 per cent of control values in patients with severe or moderate disease (p less than 0.001). c2, c3 and c5 values were also low (12 to 60 per cent) during the early acute period of the disease. however, serum c4 content was increased to 160 per cent of the contr ... | 1978 | 207985 |

| ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies in five cases of argentine hemorrhagic fever. | ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies on tissues from five patients with argentine hemorrhagic fever revealed previously undetected lesions caused by the viral infection. two types of particle were seen in the cells of all organs examined. the particles had some characteristics similar to those described for arenaviruses. however, the virus-like particles were intracellular, had a single membrane, and apparently originated by a process of budding into the endoplasmic reticulum cisterna ... | 1975 | 50390 |
| studies of cell-mediated immunity to junín virus. | junín virus is uniformly lethal in newborn mice, but fails to kill adult animals. but there is direct evidence that in older mice the immunological mechanism occurs when certain conditions are fulfilled. the present results showed that in junín virus infection of mice, the development of the immunological mechanism occurs irrespectively of age. the induction of a regular cell-mediated immunity appears to be intimately related to multiple injections of the virus. these results were confirmed by t ... | 1978 | 25006 |
| further experiments on the action of antithymocyte serum in experimental junín virus infection. | rabbit anti-mouse thymocyte serum (ats) administrated as late as 7 days after infection suppressed host cell-mediated responsiveness to intracerebrally injected junín virus, thereby diminishing the morbility and mortality of this infection. it did not affect either the humoral antibody response or the virus titer in brain. this findings suggest that: a) in mouse brain cells, junín virus infection is basically non-cytopathic: b) cell-mediated immunity is responsible for morbility and mortality an ... | 1976 | 7942 |
