the influence of cortisone on experimental viral infection. iil effects on certain dynamics of influenza virus increase. | the administration of cortisone to chicken embryos infected with influenza b virus results in (a) an initial inhibition of viral synthesis and (b) an eventual increase in the final yield of virus attained. increased yields of virus are attained regardless of the number of viral particles in the infecting inoculum or the proportion of particles which are infective. changes in the distribution ratios of allantoic fluid and intramembrane virus are effected by cortisone only as the secondary result ... | 1957 | 13481248 |
the influence of cortisone on experimental viral infection. iv. negation of interference as the mechanism by which cortisone induces increased virus yields. | the interference with viral synthesis which is induced by large quantities of non-infective influenza b virus is inhibited or negated with small quantities of cortisone and other c-21 steroids. the specificity of this effect is attested by the inactivity of 11-alpha hydroxy epimers of highly active compounds. maximal activity in negation of interference is associated with the presence of oxygen at the c-11 position of the steroid molecule. in view of the demonstration that negation of interferen ... | 1957 | 13481249 |

influenza a2 and b in the ussr in 1966-67, and some aspects of global epidemiology of influenza. | an epidemic wave of influenza caused by the a2 virus was recorded in the ussr in the winter of 1966-67; this was the fifth wave since this pandemic strain first appeared. in contrast to the last wave of 1965, it developed simultaneously with, or followed, an epidemic of influenza b. the epidemic spread of influenza was observed for a period of 2 years in the ussr; influenza b prevailed in 1966, influenza a2 in 1967, and the two viruses spread at different speeds. a slow spread and a gradual incr ... | 1969 | 5306546 |
summary report on hong kong influenza in japan. | in the 2 months following the onset of the influenza epidemic in hong kong in july 1968, there must have been many importations of the virus into japan both from hong kong and from other countries subsequently involved in the epidemic. over a dozen such incidents were reported in japan and confirmed serologically or by direct virus isolation. although they must have seeded the virus at least in and near the ports of importation, a true epidemic of hong kong influenza did not start until october. ... | 1969 | 5309439 |
national influenza experience in the usa, 1968-69. | an extensive outbreak of hong kong influenza occurred in the usa during the autumn and early winter of 1968-69. introduction and seeding of the virus occurred in september and early october as individuals returned from the far east. civilian outbreaks did not develop until late october and november. by 28 december, all states had experienced influenza outbreaks. limited information concerning age- and sex-specific attack rates indicates that all age segments of the population were equally involv ... | 1969 | 5309440 |
antibody responses to and efficacy of an inactivated spray vaccine. | an attempt was made to assess the protective influence of killed intranasal influenza b vaccine against a homologous virus challenge. two types of trial were performed. in the first of these, the vaccine was compared with an inert placebo and, in the second, with conventional homologous and heterologous parenteral vaccines. little protective effect by the intranasal vaccine was demonstrated. | 1969 | 5309470 |
some studies on the selection and efficiency of live influenza vaccine viruses. | live influenza virus vaccination has potential advantages and disadvantages compared with killed virus vaccine given by intramuscular injection.attempts have been made to achieve complete attenuation of influenza a2 and b strains by up to 30 serial passages in the allantoic cavity of eggs at 33 degrees c. no attenuation occurred. the method of passing viruses in the presence of an increasing concentration of horse serum, thus selecting inhibitor-resistant variants, has also been tested. it was s ... | 1969 | 5309479 |

the role of serum haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody in protection against challenge infection with influenza a2 and b viruses. | the intranasal inoculation of volunteers with living partially attenuated strains of influenza a and b viruses offers a new opportunity to determine the protective effect of serum haemagglutin-inhibiting antibody against a strictly homologous virus, under conditions where the time and dosage of the infective challenge can be controlled, the scoring of proven infections can be more precise and higher rates of infection can be achieved than in most natural epidemics.in 1032 adult volunteers, whose ... | 1972 | 4509641 |
antigenic relationships between the neuraminidases of influenza b virus. | antigenic relationships between neuraminidases of influenza b viruses isolated from 1940 to 1968 were studied by neuraminidase-inhibition tests using hyperimmune rabbit antisera. the cross-reactions between the enzymes of influenza b viruses showed that some antigenic drift had occurred but that they are all related. from these results it is concluded that the differences between the neuraminidases of influenza b viruses are not sufficiently clear-cut to allow the viruses to be separated into su ... | 1972 | 4538191 |
the isolation of influenza viruses. | of 129 strains of the hong kong variant of influenza a2 virus isolated from 176 respiratory infections, 105 (81.4%) were isolated in tissue culture, the remainder being detected only by the inoculation of fertile hen's eggs. organ cultures of chick embryo trachea were at least as sensitive as monkey kidney tissue culture for the isolation of this virus but organ cultures of human embryonic ciliated epithelium were much less efficient. the reverse was true for strains of influenza b virus studied ... | 1972 | 4625434 |
immunogenicity of egg-grown influenza vaccine: inhibition by immunization of recipients with host antigen. | rabbit antibody directed against normal allantoic fluid reduced the protective power of influenza vaccine prepared from egg-grown pr8 virus. a similar vaccine prepared from mouse lung virus was not inhibited. preimmunization of mice with normal allantoic fluid or with egg-grown influenza b/lee vaccine (crude or purified) inhibited the protective power of pr8 egg vaccine but did not affect a similar lung vaccine. | 1972 | 4635503 |
