electron microscopic evidence for parainfluenza type iii/retrovirus phenotypically mixed particles.sublines of malignant permanent human fibroblast cell lines were shown to be infected by a type-d retrovirus (pmfv) and by a parainfluenza virus type iii in an earlier study (2, 6). careful electron microscopical investigations of these sublines have proved "viral structural elements" of both viruses in the same cell. we obtained electron microscopic evidence--though rarely--for parainfluenza type iii/pmfv mixed-particles.19836305302
protein subunit vaccines of parainfluenza type 3 virus: immunogenic effect in lambs and mice.protein subunit vaccines were prepared from a mixture of the haemagglutinin (hn) and fusion (f) glycoproteins of parainfluenza type 3 virus (pi-3). the glycoproteins were isolated in three different forms and characterized by their sedimentation coefficients: 30s protein micelles (a complex of several hn and f glycoproteins devoid of detergent and lipid), 18s protein-tx complexes (a complex of several glycoproteins containing the detergent triton x-100), and 4s protein-tx complexes (probably mon ...19836306152
neuraminidase activity and syncytial formation in variants of parainfluenza 3 virus.by a sensitive fluorometric assay method, we could definitely demonstrate neuraminidase activity for two variants of parainfluenza 3 virus, m and sc, which were previously shown to have no detectable neuraminidase activity. the enzyme activities of these viruses were very similar to each other, showing a much lower catalytic rate, a much higher km value, and a more acidic ph optimum than those of the virus variants of high neuraminidase activity, 910n, lt, and mr. m and sc viruses eluted from gu ...19836307881
serology of bovine parainfluenza virus type 3: comparison of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and hemagglutination inhibition.an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of antibody to bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 has been compared with the hemagglutination inhibition test on 130 field sera, and seven other paired sera showing a significant raise of titers. the elisa was found to be four to 64 times more sensitive than the hemagglutination inhibition test and the two tests demonstrated a good correlation.19836309348
ultrastructural features of experimental parainfluenza type 3 virus pneumonia in calves.ultrastructural changes observed in the acute and repair stages of experimental p13 virus pneumonia in young calves are described. in the early acute stage of the pneumonia, paramyxovirus replication was observed within epithelial cells of the respiratory tract and within alveolar macrophages. there was loss of cilia and of ciliated cells in small bronchi and bronchioli. proliferation of non-ciliated bronchiolar cells (clara cells) produced zones of hyperplastic bronchiolar epithelium and, withi ...19836309920
reactivation of bovid herpesvirus 1 and 2 and parainfluenza-3 virus in calves latently infected.two experiments were carried out to determine whether bovid herpesvirus (bhv) 2 is able to induce a recurrent infection in experimentally infected calves. in the first experiment the stress induced by dexamethasone (dms) treatment failed to reactivate the clinical condition or to induce shedding of bhv2. however, treatment with dms reactivated a latent bhv1 infection in all calves previously inoculated with bhv2 and also in two noninoculated controls. probably, because of the interference by bhv ...19836313287
disseminated parainfluenza infection in a child with severe combined immunodeficiency.an 8-month-old male infant with severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome was admitted to the hospital with pneumonitis and, subsequently, died at 21 months of age. during his lengthy hospitalization, parainfluenza virus type 3 (piv-3) was isolated from respiratory secretions and unusual sites, such as pericardial fluid, csf, and wbcs. a postmortem examination showed apparent viral pancreatitis, and piv-3 was isolated from the lung, brain, and pericardial fluid. to our knowledge, this is the fir ...19836314807
effects of bovine parainfluenza-3 virus on phagocytosis and phagosome-lysosome fusion of cultured bovine alveolar macrophages.bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (pi-3v) replicated in cultured bovine alveolar macrophages (bam) in vitro. cytopathic changes included spindle cell and giant cell formation, diffuse cell lysis, and cellular detachment progressing to total destruction of the monolayer. direct immunofluorescent microscopy revealed viral antigen in greater than 90% of bam on post-inoculation day (pid) 3. virus titers in culture supernatants increased by a factor of 1.6 x 10(6) tcid50 by pid 6. candida glabrata was pha ...19836314852

improvement of respiratory syncytial virus replication in actively growing hep-2 cells.the growth of respiratory syncytial (rs) and parainfluenza type iii (pi3) viruses has been studied in actively growing versus relatively stationary hep-2 cells. there was no effect on pi3 virus growth. rs virus synthesis was stimulated from 20- to 60-fold by growth in actively growing cultures when the cell density was approximately 1/3 that of a confluent culture. this stimulation was manifested by a greater yield of virus per cell, more virus-specific mrna produced per cell, and a 50% decrease ...19836317708
immunosuppression in goats inoculated with parainfluenza type 3 virus.the humoral and cellular immune responses of goats experimentally infected with an ovine isolate of parainfluenza type 3 virus (pi-3) were examined. virus neutralization and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to determine antibody in the serum and csf. lymphocyte stimulation, measured by [3h]thymidine incorporation into peripheral blood leukocytes, was used to determine cellular responses to phytomitogens and virus. there were significant suppression of peripheral blood leukocyte respo ...19836318612
variation of virus replication in primary bovine kidney cell cultures derived from 68 three-day-old calves.primary kidney cell cultures were prepared from 68 three-day-old calves. complete monolayers of these cultures were infected separately with viral diarrhea, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, parainfluenza, and adenovirus 7 viruses. the yield of virus from all infected cultures was calculated by plaque titer assay after 2 to 4 days' incubation. the variation of virus yield was substantial between individual cultures.19836318615
exposure of calves to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus and pasteurella haemolytica.the present study was undertaken to investigate whether sequential exposure to aerosols of parainfluenza-3 virus followed by pasteurella haemolytica, or p. haemolytica followed by parainfluenza-3 virus, could lead to the production of pulmonary lesions in conventionally-raised calves. twenty male calves with low serum antibody titres to both organisms were placed in five equal groups. synergism of parainfluenza-3 virus and p. haemolytica was not demonstrated in any of the sequentially infected g ...19836320999
inhibition by vasoactive intestinal peptide of antigen-induced histamine release from guinea-pig minced lung.vasoactive intestinal peptide (vip) was found to inhibit ovalbumin-induced histamine release from guinea-pig minced lung. maximum inhibition occurred with a 10-20 min time of preincubation with vip. spontaneous histamine release was not altered by vip. with 2 x 10(-6) m vip, the dose-response curve to ovalbumin was shifted about 3-fold to the right, but the maximum histamine release was unaltered. respiratory tract infection with parainfluenza 3 virus did not influence the inhibitory effect of v ...19836189733
monoclonal antibodies to epitopes shared by actin and vimentin obtained by paramyxovirus immunization.three hybridoma clones producing igm antibodies against actin were obtained from mice immunized with purified virions of paramyxoviruses. when tested on growing lung fibroblasts, ascites fluids of all clones stained in immunofluorescence cytoplasmic bundles of microfilaments, but also fibrillar networks. on colchicine-treated cells, perinuclear coils were seen in addition to microfilament bundles. in addition, one clone gave a pronounced speckled staining to the nuclei. absorption of the ascites ...19836190666
lack of virus-specific bacterial adherence to bovine embryonic lung cells infected with bovine parainfluenza virus type 3.infection of bovine embryonic lung cells with bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 did not induce in vitro, virus-specific, hemadsorption-related adherence of corynebacterium pyogenes, haemophilus somnus, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus zooepidemicus, pasteurella haemolytica, listeria monocytogenes, escherichia coli, pasteurella multocida, brucella sp., or salmonella typhimurium.19836302133
broad-spectrum antiviral activity of 2-beta-d-ribofuranosylselenazole-4-carboxamide, a new antiviral agent.the relative in vitro antiviral activities of three related nucleoside carboxamides, ribavirin (1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide), tiazofurin (2-beta-d-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide), and selenazole (2-beta-d-ribofuranosylselenazole-4-carboxamide), were studied against selected dna and rna viruses. although the activity of selenazole against different viruses varied, it was significantly more potent than ribavirin and tiazofurin against all tested representatives of the ...19836615611
