intestinal phospholipase b activity in pigs inoculated with transmissible gastroenteritis virus.intestinal phospholipase b activity in pigs inoculated with transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus was studied. phospholipase activity was quantified by measuring the hydrolytic release of free fatty acids in homogenized intestinal tissue incubated with lysophosphatidylcholine. an increase in enzyme activity was observed in the cranial and caudal portions of the ileum and jejunum in pigs killed 3, 6, and 8 days after inoculation with tge virus. seemingly, phospholipase b may be part of the ho ...19854026032
altered jejunal permeability to macromolecules during viral enteritis in the piglet.we studied the macromolecular permeability of segments of jejunum from 2-wk-old piglets after the animals had been experimentally infected with an invasive enteric virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus. jejunal segments were mounted in ussing chambers at stages of the infection, and permeability was measured using three probe molecules of differing molecular weights. in control tissue, permeability to horseradish peroxidase was 2.6 times higher across segments with peyer's patches than acro ...19853918915
in vivo intestinal uptake of immunoreactive bovine albumin in piglet enteritis.we examined the uptake of bovine serum albumin (bsa) from the intestine into the circulation of 3-week-old piglets infected with transmissible gastroenteritis virus. transfer of immunoreactive bovine serum albumin (ibsa) from the intestinal lumen into the circulation was enhanced during both the early invasive phase of this viral enteritis (12-h postinoculation) and the diarrheal phase (84-h postinoculation). in some animals, enhanced uptake persisted into the recovery phase, 324 h after inocula ...19873794927
the tissue distribution of spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity effector lymphocytes in swine.peripheral blood lymphocytes, intraepithelial lymphocytes from the small intestine and lymphocytes from the thymus, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes and peyer's patches from 5 young adult pigs were used as effector cells in a spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity chromium release assay against pk-15 cells persistently infected with transmissible gastroenteritis virus as targets. both peripheral blood and intraepithelial lymphocytes caused marked specific chromium release, while the lymphocytes fr ...19863722477
effect of recombinant dna-derived bovine alpha-1 interferon on transmissible gastroenteritis virus infection in swine.recombinant dna-derived bovine interferon alpha 1-1 (boifn) inhibited replication of both vesicular stomatitis virus and transmissible gastroenteritis virus in cultures of swine testicular cells. newborn pigs were orally inoculated with boifn and subsequently had interferon in their gastric contents and serum; however, interferon was found only occasionally in intestinal washings. incubation of boifn with gastric contents from a newborn suckling pig did not affect antiviral activity, whereas int ...19863717740
characterisation of the effector cells in antibody-dependent and spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity in swine against target cells infected with transmissible gastroenteritis virus.when porcine peripheral blood leucocytes were fractionated, lymphocytes were the most active effectors in both antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (adcc) and spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity (scmc), although both polymorphs and macrophages showed some activity in adcc. adsorption of lymphocytes to antibody-sensitised or unsensitized pk-15-transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) cells caused similar reductions in adcc and scmc effector activities. over 60 per cent of the target-bindin ...19863489968
recurrent viruses in a singapore intensive pig farming estate.the ponggol intensive pig farming estate was conceived approximately 10 years ago to accommodate pig farms resettled from water catchment areas. initially stocking density of the estate was 1300-1500 pigs per hectare (ha) and the total pig population in the estate was 200,000. over the past 10 years the numbers of pigs have increased to 400,000 and the stocking density of the big commercial units have increased to 1500-2500 per ha. with such intensive methods of husbandry environmental problems ...19873446006
the participation of antibody in spontaneous and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in the pig.treatment of porcine lymphocytes with trypsin reduced their spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity (scmc) activity against target cells persistently infected with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (pk15-tge cells), but had no effect on antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (adcc). scmc activity was partially restored to trypsin-treated lymphocytes by incubation in rpmi-1640 medium or in medium containing f(ab')2 fragments of rabbit anti-porcine immunoglobulin, but not by brief incubati ...19873443694
