high interferon titer in newborn pig intestine during experimentally induced viral enteritis.we looked for the presence of interferon in the digestive tract of newborn piglets infected with a virulent strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (coronaviridae). high levels of type 1 interferon activity were found early in the disease in jejunal and ileal parts of the intestine as well as in the serum. enterocytes appeared to be involved in the interferon synthesis. these findings raise the question of the role of interferon in the pathogenesis of viral enteritis.19816163724

lactogenic immunity to transmissible gastroenteritis virus induced by a subunit immunogen.a subunit prepared from transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus and used to immunize 24 gilts prior to farrowing induced production of specific antibody in the serum and milk. challenge of pigs, two to seven days of age and suckling on the vaccinated gilts, with the illinois strain of tge virus resulted in morbidity of 28% and mortality of 4% as compared with 100 and 73%, respectively, for control piglets. piglets nursing on a sow which had been immunized approximately 10 months previously wer ...19836099641
experimental inoculation of cats with canine coronavirus and subsequent challenge with feline infectious peritonitis virus.oronasal inoculation of minimal-disease cats with a virulent field isolate of canine coronavirus elicited a neutralizing antibody response that increased steadily over a two-month period, indicating in vivo amplification of the inoculated dose. a heterologous neutralizing antibody response to transmissible gastroenteritis virus could be detected three weeks after titers to canine coronavirus were first observed and was found to parallel the homologous response at a level approximately one log10 ...19846097763
[transmissible gastroenteritis of swine: stability of coronavirus in gastric and intestinal contents].low and high passaged cell culture strains of tge coronavirus were examined for stability in gastric and small intestine juices collected in 3-6 month-old pigs killed at different times after last feeding. results revealed high fragility of the tge virus in these digestive liquids. differences in stability were observed between strains of tge virus. but no correlation could be made between the level of stability and cell passage status of the virus strain. we conclude that the stability of tge c ...19846097154
[transmissible gastroenteritis: vaccination of sows in contaminated environment using inactivated virus in oil emulsion].an oil emulsion vaccine against tge was prepared using a virus suspension produced in tissue culture and inactivated by formaline. intramuscular vaccination trials were performed on sows in the field from two herds (167 sows) which had been infected by tge virus more than one year previously. considering qualities of immunity after natural infection, the objective of the work was to try to give a new impetus to immunity in such herds using vaccination as a booster. after two vaccine injections t ...19846097153
influence of infectivity of transmissible gastroenteritis virus of swine by pancreatin and some unknown factors.the infectivity of virulent strain, not attenuated strain, of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) of swine could be enhanced as much as 50-fold by pancreatin incorporated medium. the mechanism(s) of enhancement was uncertained. multiplication of tgev, either virulent or attenuated strain, was inhibited by intestinal fluid of both tgev infected and noninfected piglets. pelleting virus particles from intestine fluid was likely to remove all inhibitors and resulted in facilitating the isolat ...19836094119
efficacy of vaccination of sows with serologically related coronaviruses for control of transmissible gastroenteritis in nursing pigs.three groups of pregnant sows were vaccinated at 8 and 2 weeks before parturition with tissue culture-adapted feline infectious peritonitis (fip) virus, porcine transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) small-plaque (sp) virus from a persistently infected cell line, or noninfected cell culture fluids (controls). pigs nursing vaccinated sows were orally challenge exposed with virulent tge virus when they were 1 to 3 days old. the morbidity of the nursing pigs was 48% in the sp-tge group, 82% in the fip ...19846093647
[cultivation of the transmissible gastroenteritis virus in a continuous cell line].cell cultures of the permanent cell line spev to which the transmissive gastroenteritis virus had already been adapted were used to culture the virus and carry out the virus-neutralization test. use was made of a cell suspension of a variable density--300 and 500 thou cells per cm3. both variants of the cell suspension were comparatively studied in terms of growth, the production of a monolayer, susceptibility to infection, and titer of the virus obtained, using 4 test tubes with the virus at va ...19846093344
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of transmissible gastroenteritis virus antibody in swine sera.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed for detection and quantification of serum antibodies to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) in swine. sera from pigs inoculated with cell culture-origin tgev or gut-origin tgev were tested for anti-tgev antibody by elisa and by serum virus-neutralization test (nt). the elisa detected antibody 3 days (av) sooner than did the nt when sera from pigs inoculated with cell culture-origin tgev were tested and 1 day sooner than did the nt ...19846089625
