the genome of bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) strains exhibiting a neuropathogenic potential compared to known bhv-1 strains by restriction site mapping and cross-hybridization.bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) strains can be differentiated by their dna and polypeptide patterns, and by antigenic properties as demonstrated by monoclonal antibodies. we classified the bhv-1 strains according to these data as bhv-1.1, bhv-1.2 (a/b) and bhv-1.3 (a/b). bhv-1.1 and bhv-1.2 correspond to the well known 'common' bhv-1 strains, whereas bhv-1.3 has only recently been recognized and exhibits a neuropathogenic potential. in the present paper we describe the structural genome characteris ...19863026111
restriction endonuclease patterns of bovine herpesvirus type 1 isolated from bovine mammary glands.restriction endonuclease analysis was used, in conjunction with viral neutralization and growth-curve experiments, to compare a bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) isolate, originally obtained from bovine mammary gland lesions, with a standard bhv-1 strain, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. although differences were not detected by viral neutralization or growth-curve experiments, restriction fragment patterns generated by bam hi, eco ri, hind iii, and hpa i, revealed definite differences b ...19863026212
diagnosis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infections improved by virus detection in lung lavage samples.the potential of lung lavage to diagnose and study infections with bovine respiratory syncytial virus (brsv) was investigated. the technique was simple to perform under field conditions, and even in calves with respiratory tract disease, serious drawbacks were not observed. in 9 epizootics of respiratory tract disease, brsv infection was diagnosed in 1 or more calves. the brsv was detected from a total of 21 of 32 calves by immunofluorescence in cells recovered from lavage fluids, and the virus ...19863511803
study on the etiologic role of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in pneumonia of dairy calves.bovine respiratory syncytial virus (brsv) was the viral agent most commonly identified in 14 epizootics of pneumonia in dairy calves. a microtiter serum-virus neutralization test proved to be the best means of identifying involvement of brsv; seroconversion (fourfold or greater rise in titer) was demonstrated in 10 of the 14 epizootics. only limited involvement of bovine viral diarrhea virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, parainfluenza 3 virus, and bovine adenovirus type 3 was recogni ...19863733504
colonization of the nasal passages of calves with pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 and regeneration of colonization after experimentally induced viral infection of the respiratory tract.healthy nonstressed calves were inoculated intranasally with or subjected to aerosol exposure to pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1. only 4 of 28 calves harbored the bacterium in enough numbers to be isolated from the nasal passages for more than 7 days. after apparent clearing from the nasal passages, 8 calves were inoculated intranasally with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus; 2 of these calves shed the p haemolytica during clinical illness due to the virus. the remaining 20 calves were ...19863752678
cytotoxicity of bovine lymphocytes after treatment with lymphokines.cytotoxic lymphocytes were generated from bovine peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes after in vitro stimulation with lymphokines that contained interleukin-2. lymphokine-stimulated cultures were cytotoxic to k562 cells (human natural killer [nk] targets) and yac-1 cells (mouse nk targets), but not to hsb-2 cells (human nk targets) in a 4-hour, 51cr-release assay. cells generated after lymphokine activation also mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity to hsb-2 cells. appearance of e ...19863488701
bovine peripheral blood leukocyte subpopulation dynamics following a primary bovine herpesvirus-1 infection.population dynamics of bovine peripheral blood leukocyte subpopulations were quantitated following a primary bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) infection. percoll isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) subpopulations were analyzed using flow cytometry (fc) and cytochemical stains. between days two to eight post-infection (pi) there was a significant decrease in the percentage of t-cells and nont/nonb cells which was accompanied by an increased percentage of b-cells and monocytes. these perc ...19873509948
t lymphocyte population dynamics and function following a primary bovine herpesvirus type-1 infection.following a primary bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) infection the concanavalin a (con a) induced proliferative responses of peripheral blood t lymphocytes were suppressed. this suppression occurred in the absence of detectible serum suppressor factors, suppressor cell activity or decreased accessory cell function. however, regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between the percentage of t lymphocytes present within the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) population and the ...19873509949
efficacy of a streptomycin-dependent, live pasteurella haemolytica vaccine against challenge exposure to pasteurella haemolytica in cattle.a streptomycin-dependent, live pasteurella haemolytica vaccine was given in 1 or 2 doses to 2 groups of weaned calves; 2 other groups of calves were not vaccinated. all calves in the vaccinated groups and calves in 1 of the nonvaccinated groups were stressed by transport, intratracheally inoculated with bovine herpesvirus type-1 (cooper strain), and then intratracheally inoculated with p haemolytica type a1. the 4th group of calves (nonvaccinated controls) was not stressed and were not intratrac ...19873296883
vaccination studies against experimental bovine pasteurella pneumonia.vaccination-challenge experiments were conducted in colostrum-deprived calves to evaluate the efficacy of pasteurella bacterins and vaccines against experimental pneumonic pasteurellosis. calves were vaccinated with formalin-killed bacterins and live vaccines, then challenge exposed intratracheally with p. haemolytica or p. multocida. infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus was inoculated intranasally three to four days prior to p. haemolytica challenge-exposure. all calves were examined for mac ...19873300921
pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 colonization of the nasal passages of virus-infected calves.nasal passages of calves with a virus-induced respiratory tract disease became colonized by pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 after they were inoculated intranasally with p haemolytica. inoculation with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus caused a more severe clinical illness and resulted in a greater degree of colonization with p haemolytica than developed after inoculation with parainfluenza-3 virus. nasal passages of parainfluenza-3 virus-inoculated calves were colonized to a greater deg ...19872829666
generation of il-2 dependent bovine cytotoxic t lymphocyte clones reactive against bhv-1 infected target cells: loss of genetic restriction and virus specificity.to gain insight into the mechanisms of immunity to bovine herpesvirus type-1 (bhv-1) in particular the importance of the t-cell response, we attempted to clone bovine cytotoxic t lymphocytes that were specific for bhv-1 infected autologous target cells. a number of bovine t cell clones were generated by limiting dilution in the presence of bovine recombinant il-2 and bhv-1 infected target cells as feeder layers. these clones were maintained in culture on crude il-2 containing supernatants. in fu ...19872855701
serologic survey of viral antibodies in the peruvian alpaca (lama pacos).sera from more than 100 alpacas (lama pacos) from the peruvian southern sierra were examined for antibodies to 8 viruses known to infect other domestic animals. on the basis of these serologic findings and previously published serologic or clinical data, it is now known that the alpaca can be infected with the following viruses: parainfluenza-3, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, bovine herpesvirus-1, bluetongue virus, border disease virus, influenza a virus, rotavirus, rabies virus, vesicular ...19873826854
effects of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus infection on bovine airway reactivity.the response of isolated tracheal and bronchial strips to isoproterenol in vitro was studied in eleven male jersey calves. clinical, microbiological and pathological evaluations of the calves were carried out. in calves exposed once or twice to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, the relaxation threshold of the trachealis muscle to isoproterenol was significantly (p less than 0.05) impaired (threshold 5.0 x 10(-7) m, single exposure and 1.0 x 10(-7) m, double exposure), when compared with u ...19873651887
effect of dexamethasone on bovine leukocyte functions and bovine herpesvirus type-1 replication.in an attempt to elucidate the mechanism whereby dexamethasone could reactivate bovine herpesvirus type-1 the effect of dexamethasone on virus replication and leukocyte functions was assessed. no effect was detectable on either virus yield or in vitro replication kinetics. in contrast, dexamethasone influenced several leukocyte functions thought to be of importance in antiviral defense and maintenance of latency. in vitro exposure of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes o ...19873651888
early embryonic death in heifers after inoculation with bovine herpesvirus-1 and reactivation of latent virus in reproductive tissues.thirteen crossbred heifers seronegative for bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) were bred naturally to a seronegative bull. eight heifers were inoculated with bhv-1, iv, on postbreeding day (pbd) 7 or 14. viremia was detected in heifers 1 through 7, and virus also was isolated from nasal and vaginal secretions of heifers 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7. the pregnancy status of all heifers was monitored from pbd 14 to pbd 35 by determining plasma progesterone concentrations at 1- to 3-day intervals. decreased progest ...19873434897

inheritance and interaction of immune traits in beef calves.three sets of blood samples were obtained from beef calves of two experimental populations and assayed for various immunological measurements. the first set of samples was taken between 24 and 48 h after birth and quantified for igg1 concentration. a second set was taken immediately prior to vaccination for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv; at an average age of 164 d) and a third set taken 60 d post-vaccination. these later samples were quantified for antibodies specific to ibrv. le ...19873030992
hemagglutination inhibition and virus neutralizing response of rabbits inoculated with bovine herpesvirus 1 subunit vaccine.the immunogenicity of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) hemagglutinin has been investigated. both live and nonionic detergent solubilized vaccines were prepared and 5000 hemagglutinating units (hau) were injected subcutaneously into rabbits. both types of vaccine induced a good antibody response but live virus was four times more efficient in inducing hemagglutination inhibiting and neutralizing antibodies than either triton x-100- or octylglucoside-solubilized subunit vaccine. blotting analysis ...19873031871
highly sensitive antigen detection procedures for the diagnosis of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis: amplified elisa and reverse passive haemagglutination.the sensitivity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of bovid herpesvirus 1 antigen was increased by up to 50-fold using the biotin-avidin interaction to amplify the reaction, when compared with a simple sandwich elisa. an alternative immunoassay, reverse passive haemagglutination (rpha), had a similar sensitivity to the amplified elisa, and was technically simpler to perform. both the amplified elisa and the rpha could detect viral antigen in the nasal secretions of ...19873031873
reactivation in calves of latent infection by bovid herpesvirus-4.nine calves, six of which had been infected with strain 85/bh 16tv and three with strain 85/bh 232tn of bovid herpesvirus-4 (bhv-4), were treated with dexamethasone (dms) three months after infection. dms administration did not induce any clinical signs of disease, but bhv-4 was isolated from the nasal swabbings of all calves for a maximum of 8 days after the start of dms treatment. the virus was also isolated from the nerve tissues, nasal mucosa, lymph nodes, lung and spleen of 4 calves that we ...19873033450
reactivity of monoclonal antibodies to proteins of a neurotropic bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) strain and to proteins of representative bhv-1 strains.15 monoclonal antibodies (mcabs) were induced with the neuropathogenic strain n 569 of bovine herpesvirus 1 type 3 (bhv-1.3). nine of them could be shown by radioimmunoprecipitation assay to react with viral glycoproteins and two of these mcabs were able to neutralize strain n 569. the reactivity of these 15 monoclonals was compared with 11 monoclonal antibodies induced with a bhv-1.1 strain. the available monoclonal antibodies made it possible to characterize bhv-1.3 and to classify bhv-1 into ...19873034198
reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by transport.transport was studied as a cause of reactivation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (bovine herpesvirus-1; bhv-1) in heifers vaccinated 2-6 months before transport, using a double dose of the thermosensitive (ts) vaccine strain (tracherine). eight out of 19 animals showed ts strain re-excretion over a period of 1-3 days, beginning, in 5 out of the 8 heifers, the day after transport. in 14 other heifers, only sera were examined by sero-neutralisation: only 1 out of these 14 animals showed ...19873034502
comparison of stationary and roller cultures for the isolation of herpesviruses affecting livestock.the effect of rotating cultures on the isolation and cultivation of pseudorabies, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and equine rhinopneumonitis viruses was studied. serial ten-fold dilutions of laboratory strains of these viruses and field strains of pseudorabies virus were inoculated in two each of roller and stationary tubes of appropriate cell cultures. all tubes were examined daily for the appearance of cytopathic effects. roller cultures were found to slightly enhance the speed and extent o ...19873035348
viral-bacterial pneumonia in calves: effects on plasma eicosanoids and long chain fatty acids.in the pathogenesis of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, immunodepression induced by stress or respiratory viral infection permits superinfection of the lungs with pasteurella hemolytica, which results in exudative fibrinous pneumonia. therefore, bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis was induced by sequential inoculations of calves with bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1, 3 x 10(7) tissue culture infectious dose 50 (tcid50)/nostril), followed 3 days later by challenge with p. hemolytica (15 x 10(9) colony-fo ...19873036736
the genome of caprine herpesvirus 1: genome structure and relatedness to bovine herpesvirus 1.caprine herpesvirus 1 (caphv-1) dna was examined by electron microscopy, restriction site mapping and homology studies with bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) dna. although the restriction site maps differed significantly, we showed that the genome structures of caphv-1 and bhv-1 were identical and that the dnas shared a high degree of base sequence homology.19873037021
protection of cattle from bovine herpesvirus type i (bhv-1) infection by immunization with individual viral glycoproteins.the major glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) were found to induce high levels of antibody in cattle which could neutralize virus and participate in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity of bhv-1-infected cells. immunized animals were fully protected from disease, using a bhv-1/pasteurella haemolytica aerosol challenge model but not from infection with the virus. thus, virus could still replicate in the nasal passages of immunized animals, although to a lesser extent t ...19873037783
detection of bovine herpesvirus-1 nucleic acid sequences, using a dot-blot hybridization procedure.a sensitive and specific procedure for the detection of argentine isolates of bovine herpesvirus-1 was developed. the procedure was based on a dot-blot, nucleic acid hybridization, using 32p, nick-translated, plasmidic probes. the probes contained cloned bam h1 restriction fragments in the left half of the viral genome. the detection limit of the procedure was 10 pg of viral dna.19873037953
use of recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon in reducing respiratory disease induced by bovine herpesvirus type 1.intranasal or intramuscular treatment of calves with recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon before challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and pasteurella haemolytica reduced clinical signs, number of sick days, lung lesions, and weight loss. the effective dose was determined to be relatively broad within the range of 1 to 50 mg per animal. no adverse effects were observed even at high doses of interferon (50 mg per animal). administration before virus infection was more effective than administr ...19873038008
elisa for bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) antibody with hirt supernatant.detailed studies were made of the ability of hirt supernatant (hs) from bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) infected cultures to sensitize plates for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the ultracentrifuged pellet of hs had less sensitizing activity than the supernatant, but the antigen was removed completely by 0.22 micron filters and to some extent by 0.45 micron filters; it was minimally affected by sonication; it was destroyed by the action of pronase but not by dnaase i when a kallikrein ina ...19873038916

protection of newborn calves against fatal multisystemic infectious bovine rhinotracheitis by feeding colostrum from vaccinated cows.to determine whether consumption of colostrum with high levels of serum neutralizing antibody to bovine herpesvirus 1 would protect neonatal calves from the frequently fatal multisystemic form of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, holstein calves were fed for 48 h after birth with either pooled colostrum from seropositive vaccinated cows or colostrum from seronegative unvaccinated cows. the serum neutralizing antibody achieved in the former calves was between 64 and 256 and the titer in the latt ...19872839276
isolation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus from a latently infected feral pig.infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus was isolated from the trigeminal ganglion of a feral pig after dexamethasone treatment. three pigs inoculated intranasally with the ibr virus did not respond clinically or serologically. the virus was re-isolated from tonsillar swabs from two animals on post-infection day (pid) 3.19872821673
the inhibition of bovine herpesvirus-1 by methyl 2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone and its effects on bovine cells.methyl 2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (mpkt) was found to inhibit bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) at an ed50 concentration of approximately 5-10 microm. several virus strains were shown to have similar sensitivity to the drug and serial passage of virus in the presence of mpkt failed to yield resistant progeny. there was evidence for toxic effects on cells at drug concentrations similar to those required to inhibit virus and passage of cells in low concentrations of mpkt gave results suggesting ...19872821894
vaccination of rabbits with a bovine herpesvirus type 1 subunit vaccine: adjuvant effect of iscoms.bovine herpesvirus type 1 has two major immunogenic surface glycoproteins: a 90 kda haemagglutinin and the 130 (74 + 54) kda glycoprotein. these proteins were purified by rate zonal sucrose density gradient centrifugation after extraction with nonionic detergent triton x-100. for the preparation of iscoms, the glycoproteins were further adsorbed during a second rate zonal centrifugation, to micelles of quil a glycoside, already added to the gradient. haemagglutinating peaks were collected and us ...19872823496
specificity of the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of pseudorabies virus antibodies in pigs exposed to bovine herpesvirus-1.six 5-week-old pigs were inoculated intranasally (in) with 10(7.6) tcid50 of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1). three of the pigs also were inoculated iv with a similar dose of bhv-1. clinical responses were not observed in these 6 pigs before oronasal challenge exposure with 10(7.8) tcid50 of virulent pseudorabies virus (prv) at postinoculation day 42. two pigs inoculated in with bhv-1 and challenge exposed with prv remained healthy, whereas the remaining 4 pigs developed severe clinical signs of ps ...19872823651
mapping bovine herpesvirus type 1 latency-related rna in trigeminal ganglia of latently infected rabbits.here we have used the bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) rabbit model together with in situ nucleic acid hybridization to identify and map viral rna present in latently infected neurons. radioactively labeled cloned hindiii fragments representing most of the bhv-1 genome (cooper strain) were individually hybridized to sections of trigeminal ganglia taken from rabbits during acute and latent stages of infection. whereas all viral genomic fragments hybridized to lytically infected tissue culture ce ...19872824817
map location of the thymidine kinase gene of bovine herpesvirus 1.bovine herpesvirus 1 has been reported to contain a thymidine kinase (tk) gene which is nonessential for virus replication. we have isolated a thymidine kinase-negative mutant of the virus and localized the mutation by marker rescue experiments to a 1.1-kilobase bglii-sali fragment which maps at 0.47 to 0.48 on the bovine herpesvirus 1 genomic map. a thymidine kinase-negative bovine cell line isolated in our laboratory was used in these studies.19872824831
bovine herpesvirus type 1 gp87 mediates both attachment of virions to susceptible cells and hemagglutination.the 87,000-dalton glycoprotein (gp87) of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) was found to selectively attach to susceptible cells. the attachment of gp87 to the cells was markedly decreased by the prior adsorption of intact virions. anti-gp87 (site ia) monoclonal antibody, which inhibited bhv-1 adsorption to the cells and neutralized the virus without complement [okazaki et al., virology 250: 260-264], was effective in inhibiting the adsorption of gp87. only the same antibody was able to inhibit t ...19872827610
rapid, sensitive, competitive serologic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting serum antibodies to bovine herpesvirus type 1.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of cattle antibodies to bovine herpesvirus type 1 was developed on the basis of competition between serum antibody and a virus-neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody. the assay showed improved sensitivity over the virus neutralization (vn) test and over an enhanced vn test in which incubation of antibody-virus mixtures was carried out for 24 h. with the elisa, antibodies in sera from experimentally infected cattle were detected earli ...19872828419
[cellular and humoral immune responses in calves after experimental infection with bovine herpesvirus 1].studied were some of the humoral and cellular factors of immunity with calves experimentally infected with herpes virus 1. the clinical signs manifested by the infected calves were followed up for 10 to 12 days. the shedding of the virus through the nasal mucosa was demonstrated up to the eighth day, the peak values reached being between the 3rd and 5th day of infection. demonstrated was blastic transformation in vitro with a phytohemagglutinin of the lymphocytes obtained from the peripheral blo ...19872830708
temporal control of bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein synthesis.the gi, giii, and giv glycoproteins are major bovine herpesvirus 1 antigens involved in virus neutralization. results indicate that the gi and giv glycoproteins were expressed as beta proteins, whereas the giii glycoprotein was expressed strictly as a gamma protein. these findings suggest that gi and giv may be superior to giii as vaccine candidates.19872442412
influence of isoprinosine on bovine herpesvirus type-1 infection in cattle.a study was conducted to determine the in vivo efficacy of isoprinosine (iso) in calves infected with bovine herpesvirus type-1 (bhv-1). calves were infected with bhv-1 on day 0 and received iso daily for 14 days. clinical signs of disease, shedding of bhv-1, lymphocyte proliferative responses to mitogens, interleukin-2 production, and alveolar macrophage bactericidal activity were monitored during the study. rectal temperatures were increased (p less than 0.05) in bhv-1 and iso-bhv-1 calves at ...19872442882
