studies on the hemagglutination phenomenon of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) of pigs.hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev), unlike other coronaviruses, readily agglutinates a variety of red blood cells. the reaction differs from that of the myxovirus/paramyxovirus groups in several respects. unlike the myxoviruses, hev agglutinated red cells treated with receptor destroying enzyme. no neuraminidase activity was demonstrated with hev and there was no apparent elution of the virus from agglutinated cells. mucins and animal sera inhibited the agglutination reaction markedl ...19724263916
porcine parvovirus: frequency of naturally occurring transplacental infection and viral contamination of fetal porcine kidney cell cultures.the frequency of naturally occurring transplacental infection of swine with porcine parvovirus (ppv) and one of the possible consequences of such infection--the presence of ppv in cell cultures prepared from fetal tissues--were investigated. transplacental infection was indicated by the presence of high titers of hemagglutination inhibiting (hi) antibody for ppv in serums of 0-day-old, hysterectomy-derived, colostrum-deprived pigs of 3 of 82 litters. all letters were farm-raised dams. moreover, ...1975163603
incidence of antibody for hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus in serums from swine in the united states.serums prepared from blood collected from swine in arizona, florida, georgia, hawaii, iowa, maine, new hampshire, oregon, vermont, and washington were examined by the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) test for antibody to hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev). antibody was detected in serums from swine in each of the states except maine, new hampshire, and vermont. the frequency of antibody ranged from 10.9% (6 of 55) with serums from swine in oregon, to 98.6% (71 of 72) with serums from ...1975807134
[hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) infections in swine. serologic indication for infectional occurrence in denmark].in 1956 a disease of nursing pigs previously unreported in denmark, was observed in several swine herds. the disease syndrome appeared identical with that later described by roe and alexander in 1958 and by s. f. cartwright and m. lucas in 1968. since 1956 there have been no reports of such outbreaks in danish herds. to investigate whether the virus is still present, a survey was carried out to detect neutralizing antibodies in sera from a number of boars using a micro technique. in 144 sera fro ...19751144016
antigenic relationship between human coronavirus strain oc 43 and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus strain 67n of swine: antibody responses in human and animal sera.hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus of swine (hev) was adapted to growth in suckling mouse brain. electron micrographs of hev-infected suckling mouse brain, prepared by negative staining and thin-section techniques, exhibited typical morphological characteristics shared with other members of the coronaviridae. the adaptation of hev to suckling mouse brain facilitated serologic testing by the use of common host reagents and compatible animal systems. with hemagglutination inhibition, complem ...197765439
antigenic relationship of the feline infections peritonitis virus to coronaviruses of other species.utilizing the direct and indirect fluorescent antibody procedure, the antigenic relationship of the feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv) to 7 other human and animal coronaviruses was studied. fipv was found to be closely related to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) of swine. transmissible gastroenteritis virus and fipv were in turn antigenically related to human coronavirus 229e (hcv-229e) and canine coronavirus (ccv). an interesting finding in the study was that the 8 coronavirus ...197881044
an electron microscopic study of experimentally-induced hev encephalitis.a gnobiotic piglet, was inoculated intracerebrally with hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (strain vw572). mononuclear cells formed vascular cuffs and were disseminated in the brain parenchyma. a few neurons were surrounded by the same kind of cells. virus particles morphologically similar to coronavirus particles were found in the cytoplasm of both chromatolytic light neurons and hyperchromic dark neurons. the particles were in vesicles of distended endoplasmic reticulum and in the hypert ...1978204096
experimental infection of chickens with hemorrhagic enteritis virus.chickens were experimentally infected with hemorrhagic enteritis virus, causing lesions similar to those observed in turkeys. lesions were induced by intraperitoneal and oral infection. virus particles with the morphology of adenovirus were demonstrated in the spleens of infected chickens. splenic extracts from infected chickens caused lesions of hemorrhagic enteritis in turkeys. recovery from the infection in chickens was followed by the production of antibodies to hev, demonstrated by agar-gel ...1978206247
effect of sulphydryl reagents on the biological activities, polypeptide composition and morphology of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.the effect of sulphydryl reagents on haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev), a coronavirus of pigs, was investigated. using increasing concentrations of dithiothreitol (dtt), 50% of the virus infectivity and haemagglutination (ha) activity could be removed by i.5 mm and 4 to 5 mm respectively. the effect of dtt concentrations on the polypeptide composition was also examined. of the three external glycoproteins gp 125 was found to be the most susceptible, 50% being removed by incubation ...1978567674
a seroepizootiologic study of five viruses in a swine-evaluation station.this serologic study was done to gain information on the spread, maintenance, and effect upon performance of five porcine viruses. blood samples were taken from two groups of 8- to 11-week-old pigs from a large number of indiana swine herds in a performance-testing station 1 week after entry, 7 weeks after entry (one group only), and at slaughter. the sera were tested by indirect fluorescent antibody tests for antibodies to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), swine influenza virus (siv), ...1979230762
serological relation between calf diarrhea coronavirus and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.neutralizing (nt) and hemagglutination-inhibiting (hi) antibodies to calf diarrhea coronavirus (cdcv) and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus of swine (hev) (strain 67n) were detected in high proportions of normal adult cattle and pigs in japan. since comparison of nt and hi titers in the serum samples suggested in antigenic difference between the viruses, cross nt and hi tests of these viruses were carried out with antisera raised in rabbits. the homologous nt titers were markedly higher t ...19806159873
virus isolated and immunofluorescence in different organs of pigs infected with hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev; also designated vomiting and wasting disease virus) was inoculated oronasally in 26 colostrum-deprived pigs. anorexia and vomition were seen after an incubation period of 4 to 6 days. in pigs killed during the incubation period or within 2 days after the onset of the clinical signs, hev could be isolated regularly from the tonsils and the respiratory tract, irregularly from the digestive tract, rarely from the blood, and never from lymph nodes and s ...19806245602
immunofluorescence studies on the pathogenesis of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus infection in pigs after oronasal inoculation.hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev; also designated vomiting and wasting disease virus) was inoculated oronasally in 14 colostrum-deprived pigs at the day of birth. anorexia and vomition were seen after 4 days. pigs were killed at different times after inoculation, and the results of the examination by immunofluorescent antibody technique revealed that the epithelial cells of nasal mucosa, tonsils, lungs, and small intestine served as sites of primary viral replication. after the loca ...19806255837
characterization and isolation of structural polypeptides in haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev), a member of the coronavirus family, was purified and analysed by sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. it was shown to contain eight polypeptides, seven of which were glycosylated. they had apparent mol. wt. of 180,000 (gp 180), 130,0000 (gp 130), 120,000 (gp 120) 76,000 (gp 76), 64,000 (vp 64), 54,000 (gp 54), 32,000 (gp 32) and 31,000 (gp 31). electrophoresis of virus samples dissociated under varying conditions showed that gp 54 and gp 120 co ...19807381432
hemorrhagic enteritis: virus distribution and sequential development of antibody in turkeys.turkeys poults were inoculated intraperitoneally with hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) at 4-1/2 weeks of age. antibody response and sequential development of viral antigen in various tissues were monitored. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed to study antibody production, and immunoperoxidase staining was used to determined sites of localization of the viral antigens in tissues. results of elisa and immunodiffusion tests were compared. elisa detected antibody from day 3 p ...19816266390
an immunoelectron microscopic and immunofluorescent study on the antigenic relationship between the coronavirus-like agent, cv 777, and several coronaviruses.a possible antigenic relationship between the porcine enteropathogenic coronavirus-like agent (cvla) and 6 known coronaviruses was examined by immunoelectron microscopy (iem) and by immunofluorescence (if). cvla did not show cross reactivity with infectious bronchitis virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), canine coronavirus (ccv) hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev), neonatal calf diarrhea coronavirus (ncdcv) or feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv). antigenic relatio ...19816166280
abnormal migration of t lymphocyte clones.several in vitro t cell clones were markedly deficient in their ability to home to peripheral lymphoid tissue. this was found for an alloreactive noncytolytic clone, a soluble antigen- (klh)specific line, and cytotoxic clones specific for allogeneic cells and for abelson virus-induced lymphoma cells. this abnormal circulation pattern was probably caused by the lack of the receptors of the lymphocytes for high endothelial venules (hev), as implied by the lack of binding of these t cells to hev in ...19826460817
in vitro studies of hemorrhagic enteritis virus with immunofluorescent antibody technique.dissociated spleen lymphocytes from hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev)-free chickens, pheasants, and turkeys were infected with hev in suspension cultures. viral antigens were detected in cells of all three donor species by immunofluorescence. the age of chicken from which cells were obtained and the temperature of incubation influenced the development of viral antigens in cultured cells, which could be observed as early as 24 hr postinfection. this is the first time that hev has been shown to in ...19826284107
immunofluorescence studies on the early pathogenesis of hemorrhagic enteritis virus infection in turkeys and chickens.chickens and turkeys not previously exposed to hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) were inoculated orally with the virus. birds were necropsied each day from the first to the eighth day following inoculation, and specimens from various tissues were collected for examination. clinical illness was noted only in turkeys, although intestinal hemorrhages and swollen, necrotic spleens were seen in both species. the distribution and localization of viral antigens in various tissues and peripheral blood l ...19826284108
evidence for bursal involvement in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys.the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic enteritis in turkey poults infected with hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) at 3 days or at 2 or 5 weeks of age was compared with pathogenesis in poults that had been chemically bursectomized neonatally and exposed to cell-culture-propagated virus at 2 or 5 weeks of age. conventional poults exposed to hev at 2 or 5 weeks developed clinical disease, and mortality ranged from 38% to 100%. in addition to the splenic and intestinal lesions usually seen with hev infecti ...19826293443
propagation of virulent and avirulent turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus in cell culture.virulent and apathogenic isolates of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) were successfully propagated in lymphoblastoid cell lines of turkey origin, whereas spleen and kidney cell cultures from hev-infected turkeys failed to replicate the virus. the lymphoblastoid cell lines used were mdtc-rp16 and mdtc-rp19, which were previously established from tumors induced by marek's disease virus in turkeys. virus replication followed co-cultivation of lymphoblastoid cells with spleen cells from hev- ...19826297447
role of splenectomy in prevention of hemorrhagic enteritis and death from hemorrhagic enteritis virus in turkeys.hemorrhagic diarrhea, gross hemorrhagic enteritis, and death caused by intravenous virus injection of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) were prevented in otherwise susceptible turkey poults by surgical splenectomy. the splenectomized poults produced anti-hev antibodies, which indicated that splenectomy did not completely prevent replication of the virus. these results indicate that the spleen is necessary for the development of the intestinal lesions of this disease. the role of a toxic factor i ...19836316896
utilization of monoclonal antibodies for antigenic characterization of coronaviruses.hybrid cells secreting monoclonal antibodies against bovine enteric coronavirus (becv strain g110) were obtained by fusion between sp2/o myeloma cells and splenocytes of mice hyperimmunized with purified virus. specificity of 8 from the 12 monoclonal antibodies was established to be anti-gp105 by immunochemical staining of viral polypeptides and by immunoprecipitation of radioactive-labelled viral proteins. the reactivity of three becv isolates (strain g110, f15 and ncdcv) with the different mon ...19836203462
persistence of passively acquired antibodies to hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus in swine.the persistence of passively acquired antibodies to hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) was determined in 4 pigs in each of the litters of 10 sows. at time of delivery by the sows, the colostrum and serum samples (from the 10 sows) had hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies to hev. all of the pigs also had hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies to hev at 2 days of age. the level of circulating antibodies to hev decreased at a nonlinear rate and persisted for about 4 to 18 (mean 10.5) ...19846732026
an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of hemorrhagic enteritis virus and associated antibodies.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) that detects antibodies specific for type ii avian adenoviruses is described. freon-treated extracts from spleens of hemorrhagic enteritis (hev)-infected poults were a better source of antigen than the cell-culture-propagated virus. antigen-coated microtiter wells treated with bovine serum albumin reduced nonspecific adsorption of immunoglobulins. the elisa readily detected antibodies in hemorrhagic-enteritis- and marble-spleen-disease-infected field ...19846091606
colibacillosis of turkeys exacerbated by hemorrhagic enteritis virus. laboratory studies.lesions typical of colibacillosis disease were reproduced in laboratory experiments. mortality resulting from experimentally produced colibacillosis was significantly increased when escherichia coli o1:k1 was presented to poults that had been orally inoculated with hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) 1 week earlier. these and previous data suggest that hev infection can exacerbate colibacillosis of older poults. hev infection apparently damages the poults' defense system enough to account for the ...19853907613
respiratory disease (rhinotracheitis) of turkeys in brittany, france. iii. interaction of multiple infecting agents.a candidate breeder flock of turkeys was studied during and after an outbreak of rhinotracheitis. laboratory studies revealed the presence of three pathogens during the acute phase of the disease. these agents were hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev), paramyxovirus type 2 (pmv2), and chlamydia. twenty-five turkeys in the flock were individually identified, and blood samples from these birds were collected for serological studies each week for 21 weeks. the serological results revealed high titers ...19852985039
immunosuppressive effects of virulent strain of hemorrhagic enteritis virus in turkeys vaccinated against newcastle disease.one week after infection with a virulent strain of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev), turkeys were vaccinated for newcastle disease. the effect of a virulent strain of hev on turkeys' immune response to newcastle disease vaccine and the mitogenic response of their whole blood peripheral lymphocytes were examined. the results revealed a statistically significant difference (p less than .01) in the newcastle disease hemagglutination inhibition (ndhi) antibody titers from turkeys infected with viru ...19852986088
hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys in california: serologic study of hemorrhagic enteritis virus antibody with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.the incidence of hemorrhagic enteritis (he) infection in california turkeys was studied by testing 2220 turkey blood samples from 173 flocks for he virus (hev) antibody by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). maternal antibody was detected at 1 day of age in all flocks tested, and it vanished after 3 weeks. acquired hev antibody appeared at 8 to 10 weeks, and 100% of the meat and breeder turkey flocks were positive after 11 weeks of age. hev infection occurred earlier in the meat flock ...19852992436
quantitation of hemorrhagic enteritis virus antigen and antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) were developed to quantitate hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) antibodies in turkey sera and hev antigens in tissue extracts. these assays were more sensitive than the commonly used agar-gel precipitin tests in detecting antigen and antibody. the antibody-elisa was used to monitor the presence and decline of passive antibodies in turkey poults and the seroconversion of turkeys infected with hev. the antigen-elisa was carried out using a monoclonal anti ...19863028352
pathogenesis of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) in mice experimentally infected by different routes.three-day-old suckling mice inoculated intracerebrally (i.c.) with the 67n strain of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) showed nervous signs and died. the virus was passaged 10 times in suckling mice and was designated the mb-67n strain. the pathogenesis of mb-67n was studied with various ages of mice and inoculation routes. all mice inoculated i.c. with a large dose of virus died regardless of age, although a smaller dose caused fatal infection only in suckling mice. by intranasal, ...19863546411
further studies on in vitro and in vivo assays of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev).isolation of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) from spleens of infected turkeys in the mdtc-rp19 lymphoblastoid cell line was compared with detection of hev antigen in the same spleens using the agar gel precipitation (agp) test. a concordance of 80% was found between the two assays. virus isolation had a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 88% compared with the agp test. rp19 cells were also susceptible to infection with several other avian adenoviruses, but such infection was easily differ ...19873039962
some observations on the response of ring-necked pheasants to inoculation with various strains of cell-culture-propagated type ii avian adenovirus.the response of ring-necked pheasants to inoculation with three strains of cell-culture-propagated type ii avian adenovirus was examined. marble spleen disease (msd) virus of pheasants and both avirulent and virulent strains of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) of turkeys all induced typical gross and microscopic splenic lesions of msd; neither msd-associated lung lesions nor mortality were noted in inoculated pheasants, regardless of strain of virus used. pheasants inoculated with a cell-cultur ...19882848487
demonstration of viral antigen and immunoglobulin (igg and igm) in brain tissue of pigs experimentally infected with haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) was inoculated either orally or intranasally into ten 3-day-old gnotobiotic piglets. all infected pigs showed inappetence and listlessness, but there were no clinical signs of nervous disorder. severe encephalomyelitis, characterized by neuronophagia, focal gliosis and perivascular cuffing, was observed in the brain stem and cerebral cortex. nasally infected pigs, in particular, developed lesions in the area of the stria olfactoria and tractus olfa ...19892469703
immunopathological and ultrastructural studies on the tonsil of gnotobiotic pigs infected with strain 67n of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.the 67n strain of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) was inoculated orally or nasally into ten 3-day-old gnotobiotic piglets. tonsillar changes characterized by epithelial degeneration and lymphatic cell infiltration occurred in the crypt from post-inoculation days (pid) 5 to 7, and hev was isolated from the tonsil on pid 3 and 5. ultrastructurally, many hev particles were found in the cisternae, cytoplasmic vesicules and extracellular spaces of crypt epithelium. immunohistologicall ...19892542386
hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys: influence of maternal antibody and age at exposure.the effect of maternal antibody (mab) to hemorrhagic enteritis (he) on the response of turkeys to infection with virulent and avirulent strains of he virus (hev) was examined. the influence of age at exposure and treatment with hev antibody on development of clinical he also was studied. mab protected poults from clinical he for up to 6 weeks of age. mab also interfered with vaccination against the disease for at least 5 weeks after hatching, as indicated by absence of hev antigen in spleens and ...19892559708
human, small round structured viruses, caliciviruses and astroviruses.epidemiological studies on srsvs, human calicivirus and astroviruses have been limited by the problems of establishing them in cell culture and the inability to transmit them to animals or to use strains from animals as a source of antigen for diagnostic tests. the use of em and the subsequent development of rias and eias in a few research centres has shown that they are a cause of outbreaks and sporadic cases of diarrhoea and vomiting. srsvs have increasingly been recognized as a major cause of ...19901962728
epidemiology of hepatitis delta virus and non-a, non-b hepatitis.hepatitis delta virus (hdv) is an incomplete virus dependent on the hepatitis b virus (hbv) for its replication. serologic studies have shown that hdv is found all over the world. however, the prevalence is not simply a function of the prevalence of hbv, but hdv has an epidemiology of its own with major geographic differences as exemplified below. a high rate with as many as 60-80% anti-hdv positives among chronic hbsag-carriers has been found in the northern part of south america, central afric ...19901967120
immunogenicity of hepatitis b vaccine (hevac b) in children with advanced renal failure.the immune response after hepatitis b (hb) vaccine hevac b was studied in 33 children (mean age 10 +/- 4 years) with advanced renal failure. responders and protected patients were defined by antibody titres to hb surface antigen (anti-hbs) of greater than 10 and 50 miu/ml, respectively. all received the initial recommended three injections at monthly intervals, and 23 received a booster injection (ib) 11 +/- 1 months after the third injection (i3). loss of protection after i3 led to additional i ...19902088465
isolation and characterization of the acetylesterase of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev). 19902103096
isolation of a cdna from the virus responsible for enterically transmitted non-a, non-b hepatitis.major epidemic outbreaks of viral hepatitis in underdeveloped countries result from a type of non-a, non-b hepatitis distinct from the parenterally transmitted form. the viral agent responsible for this form of epidemic, or enterically transmitted non-a, non-b hepatitis (et-nanbh), has been serially transmitted in cynomolgus macaques (cynos) and has resulted in typical elevation in liver enzymes and the detection of characteristic virus-like particles (vlps) in both feces and bile. infectious bi ...19902107574
and now, the molecular cloning of the hepatitis e virus. 19902114336
[non-a non-b acute hepatitis].two distinct forms of non a non b viral hepatitis are now distinguished: (a) parenterally transmitted non a non b hepatitis, mainly due to hepatitis c virus, (b) enterically transmitted non a non b hepatitis, mainly due to hepatitis e virus. hepatitis c virus is an enveloped, 50 to 60 nm in diameter, single stranded rna virus. its transmission is essentially parenteral and resembles that of hepatitis b virus. individuals at risk are those in contact with blood products. sexual transmission is un ...19902115201
hepatitis e virus. 19902115383
viral hepatitis. the new abc's.hepatitis may be caused by hepatitis a virus, hepatitis b virus, hepatitis c virus (classic non-a non-b viral hepatitis), hepatitis d virus (delta agent), and hepatitis e virus (epidemic non-a non-b viral hepatitis). cytomegalovirus, epstein-barr virus, and herpes simplex virus may also occasionally cause hepatitis. some forms of hepatitis carry the risks of chronic infection, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. treatment options for viral hepatitis are limited and, in many cases, still unde ...19902120686
transmission of enteric non-a, non-b hepatitis virus in macaca mulatta monkeys by intraportal route: subsequent passages of hev virus.macaca mulatta monkeys have been used for the transmission of enteric non-a, non-b hepatitis (hev) virus by intraportal route. subsequent passages of hev virus have been completed in these monkeys. in the first passage, 2 monkeys were inoculated by intra-portal route with 27-34 nm virus-like particles (vlp) obtained from known epidemics of hev hepatitis in india, and biochemical and serological changes in the blood, histological changes in the liver and excretion of 27-34 nm vlp in the stool wer ...19902129831
propagation of group ii avian adenoviruses in turkey and chicken leukocytes.an avirulent hemorrhagic enteritis virus isolate (hev-a) as well as a virulent one (hev-v), both belonging to the group ii avian adenoviruses, were successfully propagated in turkey leukocyte cell cultures. hev antigens were detected as early as 12 hr after infection of the cells, using hev-specific monoclonal antibodies in a fluorescent antibody test, and virus particles were observed by electron microscopy in the nuclei of infected cells at 18 to 24 hr after infection. electron microscopy reve ...19902157387
efficacy of avirulent hemorrhagic enteritis virus propagated in turkey leukocyte cultures for vaccination against hemorrhagic enteritis in turkeys.avirulent hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev-a) propagated in turkey leukocyte cell culture was tested as a vaccine to prevent hemorrhagic enteritis (he) in turkeys in experimental and field trials. immunization of turkeys with live hev-a resulted in protection against a challenge with virulent hev (hev-v) as measured by the serological response and the absence of clinical disease and hev antigen in spleens. in field trials, 19 out of 20 flocks seroconverted within 21 days after vaccination with l ...19902157395
hepatitis c.the major cause of chronic post-transfusion hepatitis, the hepatitis c virus (hcv), has been identified. hcv is a single-stranded linear rna virus with characteristics similar to the flaviviruses. a different agent, the hepatitis e virus, is associated with epidemic (enterically-transmitted) non-a, non-b hepatitis. at present, infection with hcv is recognized by the finding of anti-hcv antibodies, positive in up to 90% of patients with chronic non-a, non-b post-transfusion hepatitis. antibodies ...19902159711
a double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus antibody and antigen.a highly sensitive and specific double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) is described for the detection of antigen and antibody of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev). the assay utilizes a virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mab) to capture the antigen and turkey antiserum against hev as the second antibody. microtiter plates were first coated with a dilution of 1:3000 of the mab (300 ng immunoglobulin/well) and are used for detection of both antigen and antibody. for a ...19902164392
identification of enterically transmitted hepatitis virus particles by solid phase immune electron microscopy.small 'featureless' viruses (less than 50 nm) are difficult to identify by routine immune electron microscopy techniques, particularly when they are mixed with debris from stool or cell culture extracts. a combination of conventional immune electron microscopy (iem) and solid phase iem (spiem) methodologies was used to identify hepatitis a virus (hav) in stool and cell culture extracts and non-a non-b hepatitis (hepatitis e) in stool extracts. compared with conventional iem, the modified spiem m ...19902176664
productive human immunodeficiency virus infection levels correlate with aids-related manifestations in the patient.mononuclear cells were obtained from 71 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) seropositive subjects presenting and first visit either as asymptomatic or with minor symptoms and with cd4 lymphocytes greater than 550 per mm3 (group a, 35 patients) or as patients with aids, aids-related illnesses, or cd4 lymphocytes less than 400 per mm3 (group b, 36 patients). after 1-5 years of follow-up, 13 patients of group a had essentially retained their initial status (asymptomatics); the 22 others had ...19902217174
hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus attaches to n-acetyl-9-o-acetylneuraminic acid-containing receptors on erythrocytes: comparison with bovine coronavirus and influenza c virus.the receptors for the hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev, a porcine coronavirus) on chicken erythrocytes were analyzed and compared to the receptors for bovine coronavirus (bcv) and influenza c virus. evidence was obtained that hev requires the presence of n-acetyl-9-o-acetylneuraminic acid (neu5,9ac2) on the cell surface for agglutination of erythrocytes as has been previously shown for bcv and influenza c virus: (i) incubation of red blood cells with sialate 9-o-acetylesterase, the ...19902385959
