[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 ...19751208899
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 ...1975239579
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 ...19767942
rna composition of junin virus.junin virus grown in bhk-21 cells was labeled with [3h]uridine and highly purified by differential and isopycnic centrifugation. the rnas extracted with phenol and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were shown to be composed of four large species (33, 28, and 18s) and three small ones (4, 5, and 5.5s). this pattern was similar to ones already reported for other arenaviruses. however, there was a striking difference when the virus labeling was performed in the presence of actinomycin ...1976178925

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.1979218900
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.1979222707
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.1979227811
