comparison of the nephropathogenicity of four strains of infectious bronchitis virus.experiments were conducted to characterize renal lesions in chickens induced by four strains of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv); each has been described as nephropathogenic. those strains were also compared in vaccinated and unvaccinated older chickens for nephropathogenicity. the younger birds were much more susceptible to the nephritogenic effects of the strains. all four strains produced acute renal changes consisting of tubular damage and interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and ede ...19863021097
coronavirus ibv: virus retaining spike glycopolypeptide s2 but not s1 is unable to induce virus-neutralizing or haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody, or induce chicken tracheal protection.avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus (ibv) inactivated by beta-propiolactone induced partial protection of the trachea in up to 40% of chickens following one intramuscular inoculation 4 to 6 weeks prior to challenge. retention of an intact tracheal ciliated epithelium 4 days after challenge was the criterion of protection. there was no correlation between protection and serum titres of virus-neutralizing (vn) and haemagglutination-inhibiting (hi) antibody, which were maximal at about 4 weeks ...19863014053
coronavirus ibv: removal of spike glycopolypeptide s1 by urea abolishes infectivity and haemagglutination but not attachment to cells.urea has been used to remove the s1 spike glycopolypeptide from avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strains m41 and beaudette, without removing the s2 spike-anchoring glycopolypeptide. reduction of the ph to 2.9 did not cause release of s1 although some s1 was released spontaneously from ibv beaudette at ph 7.4. virus that lacked s1 was no longer infectious or able to cause haemagglutination (ha). however, radiolabelled ibv that lacked s1 attached to erythrocytes and chick kidney cells to th ...19863014054
rapid serological profiling by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. iv. association of infectious bursal disease serology with broiler flock performance.breeder and broiler flocks were serologically evaluated using a multiple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (m-elisa). the serologic status of two commercial broiler-breeder flocks and their progeny was monitored, and 840 sera were promptly assessed for antibodies against six infectious agents using the m-elisa. breeder flocks were sampled at lay, and broiler chicks were hatched from fertile eggs collected on the scheduled lay date of the breeders. the broiler chicks were placed for growout as ei ...19863015100

chicken embryonal vaccination with avian infectious bronchitis virus.a commercial infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) vaccine of the massachusetts 41 strain was injected in embryonating chicken eggs on embryonation day (ed) 18. the ibv vaccine was pathogenic for embryos, and it was passaged in chicken kidney tissue culture to reduce the pathogenicity. at the 40th tissue culture passage (p40-ibv), the virus became apathogenic for the embryos. maternal antibody-positive or -negative chicks hatching from eggs injected with p40-ibv developed antibody to ibv and were pr ...19863008613
in ovo interference of embryo non-lethal avian infectious bronchitis viruses (ibv) with velogenic newcastle disease virus and embryo adapted ibv.avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) interfered with the lethal effects of velogenic newcastle disease virus (ndv) and embryo adapted ibv in eggs previously inoculated with non-lethal ibv. greater interference was noted in eggs superinfected with embryo adapted ibv than velogenic ndv. the interference could be eliminated by treating the initial ibv with homologous anti-ibv serum.19863010408
sequence analysis of the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus nucleocapsid protein gene.the 3' end of the 20-kb genome of the purdue strain of porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (tgev) was copied into cdna after priming with oligo(dt) and the double-stranded product was cloned into the psti site of the puc9 vector. one clone of 2.0-kb contained part of the poly(a) tail and was sequenced in its entirety using the chemical method of maxam and gilbert. another clone of 0.7 kb also contained part of the poly(a) tail and was sequenced in part to confirm the primary struct ...19863008432
standardization and application of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for infectious bronchitis.the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used to detect antibody to infectious bronchitis virus in chickens. the serum-neutralization test for infectious bronchitis (snib) was used as a reference serologic test. the elisa proved to be useful for monitoring antibody responses following vaccination of leghorn chicks. the titers obtained with the elisa and snib showed an overall correlation, but results suggest the involvement of different antibody classes.19863028354
serological profiles of commercial broiler breeders and their progeny. 1. infectious bronchitis virus.serum samples were collected from broiler breeders and their 1-day-old, 2-week-old, and 5-week-old progeny from different regions of the united states. individual samples were tested by hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) against six infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strains: massachusetts 41 (mass), h52, connecticut 46 (conn), arkansas 99, se17, and jmk. the use of multiple strains to test broiler flocks resulted in the detection of seroconversions to conn and jmk vaccination that were not detecte ...19863028356
pathogenesis of infectious bronchitis nephritis. 1. morphometric analysis of kidney proximal tubular epithelium in chickens.the ultrastructure of the proximal tubular epithelial cells in chicken kidneys was examined throughout the course of an experimental infection with infectious bronchitis virus. a quantitative assessment of the structural changes in the cells was related to these in normal cells. significant alterations were detected in the membrane structures and in the mitochondria. there was a reduction in surface area of the microvillus membrane, the basolateral membrane and the apical tubular membrane. there ...19863003169
cloning and sequencing of 5' terminal sequences from avian infectious bronchitis virus genomic rna.the subgenomic rnas of the fowl coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) form a 3' co-terminal or 'nested' set. the presence of non-contiguous (leader) sequences fused to the 5' termini of murine hepatitis virus mrnas has been demonstrated using rnase t1 oligonucleotide mapping and sequencing. the presence of a leader sequence on ibv mrna a has been demonstrated previously. in this paper the presence of a leader identical to that present on the 5' terminus of ibv mrna a is demonstrated to b ...19863003236
predicted membrane topology of the coronavirus protein e1.the structure of the envelope protein e1 of two coronaviruses, mouse hepatitis virus strain a59 and infectious bronchitis virus, was analyzed by applying several theoretical methods to their amino acid sequence. the results of these analyses combined with earlier data on the orientation and protease sensitivity of e1 assembled in microsomal membranes lead to a topological model. according to this model, the protein is anchored in the lipid bilayer by three successive membrane-spanning helices pr ...19863008826

a historical account of the diagnosis and characterization of strains of mycoplasma gallisepticum of low virulence.numerous chicken flocks were studied beginning in 1970 because of questionable results on their serologic tests for mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg). typically a low number of hens in the flocks were positive reactors to the rapid serum plate test and rarely had hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) titers over 1:80. usually no clinical signs were observed. isolates of mg eventually were cultured from most of the flocks that exhibited that type of marginal serologic pattern. in the laboratory, the mg is ...19863767812
an efficient ribosomal frame-shifting signal in the polymerase-encoding region of the coronavirus ibv.the polymerase-encoding region of the genomic rna of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) contains two very large, briefly overlapping open reading frames (orf), f1 and f2, and it has been suggested on the basis of sequence analysis that expression of the downstream orf, f2, might be mediated through ribosomal frame-shifting. to examine this possibility a cdna fragment containing the f1/f2 overlap region was cloned within a marker gene and placed under the control of the bacteriopha ...19873428275
cdna cloning and sequence analysis of the gene encoding the peplomer protein of feline infectious peritonitis virus.the peplomer gene of feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv) strain 79-1146 was isolated from a genomic cdna library by differential hybridization with rna 2 and 3 as probes. from the nucleotide sequence a primary translation product of 1452 residues (mr 160,472) was predicted, containing an n-terminal signal sequence, a c-terminal transmembrane segment and 35 potential n-linked glycosylation sites. by s1 nuclease analysis the 5' end of the presumptive rna 2 body was located at about 30 nucle ...19873312491
an outbreak of avian urolithiasis on a large commercial egg farm.a significant outbreak of avian urolithiasis was observed on a large commercial egg farm. from the initial outbreak site (a single laying house), the incidence of urolithiasis slowly spread in the ensuing months to numerous other laying houses. increasing mortality associated with urolithiasis commenced during late growout to early lay and then leveled off when egg production peaked. at the height of the outbreak, mortality was typically 0.5% per week; 75% of this mortality was due to urolithias ...19873039970

a specific transmembrane domain of a coronavirus e1 glycoprotein is required for its retention in the golgi region.the e1 glycoprotein of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus contains a short, glycosylated amino-terminal domain, three membrane-spanning domains, and a long carboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain. we show that e1 expressed from cdna is targeted to the golgi region, as it is in infected cells. e1 proteins with precise deletions of the first and second or the second and third membrane-spanning domains were glycosylated, thus suggesting that either the first or third transmembrane domain ...19872821010
expression of the infectious bronchitis virus spike protein by recombinant vaccinia virus and induction of neutralizing antibodies in vaccinated mice.a cdna clone of the infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) spike protein gene has been recombined into vaccinia virus. cells infected with the recombinant virus synthesized ibv spike antigen which was recognized by antibody raised against purified spike protein. immunofluorescence showed that the ibv spike antigen was transported to the infected cell surface membrane and immunoprecipitation showed the presence of the glycosylated 180k mol. wt. polypeptide precursor of the two spike subunits s1 and s2 ...19872821170
comparative nephropathogenicity of different strains of infectious bronchitis virus in chickens.two-week-old white leghorn chickens were injected intravenously with australian t, holte, gray, and m 41 strains of infectious bronchitis virus. a total of 100, 90, 85, and 20% of the chickens infected with australian t, holte, gray, and m 41, respectively, had variable degrees of nephritis. the australian t strain induced the most rapid and the most severe kidney lesions followed by holte, gray, and m 41 in descending order.19872821527
determination of the antigenic relationships among six serotypes of infectious bronchitis virus using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and serum-neutralization test.the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was applied to detect antibody to infectious bronchitis (ib) virus in chickens. a cross-reactivity study was performed to determine the antigenic relationships among six strains: massachusetts, connecticut, beaudette, and three ontario field isolates. for comparison, the cross-reactivity study was performed in eggs using the serum-neutralization (sn) test for ib. the elisa proved to be more broadly cross-reactive than the ib-sn test. this su ...19872823768
comparison of serological tests for antibodies against newcastle disease virus and infectious bronchitis virus using immunocomb solid-phase immunoassay, a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the hemagglutination-inhibition assay.combscores determined using the immunocomb solid-phase immunoassay were compared with hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) titers specific for newcastle disease virus (ndv) and infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and with mean enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) titers determined using agritech systems, inc., elisa. combscores for ndv and ibv increased proportionately in a stepwise manner as hi titers increased. the immunocomb solid-phase immunoassay was ablt to produce endpoint titers on sera w ...19872823769
epitopes on the peplomer protein of infectious bronchitis virus strain m41 as defined by monoclonal antibodies.sixteen monoclonal antibodies (mcabs) were prepared against infectious bronchitis virus strain m41, all of them reacting with the peplomer protein. one of them, mcab 13, was able to neutralize the virus and to inhibit hemagglutination. competition binding assays allowed the definition of five epitopes, designated as a, b, c, d, and e, of which epitopes a and b are overlapping. furthermore, the binding of mcab 13 (epitope e) could be enhanced by the addition of mcabs from group b, c, and d. a dot ...19872446423

strain specific antibodies revealed by immunoabsorption studies with avian infectious bronchitis virus.rabbit antisera prepared against the massachusetts 41 (m41) strain of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and absorbed with chick embryo immunoabsorbent produced multiple precipitin lines in immunodouble-diffusion (idd) tests with homologous or heterologous strains of virus. these precipitin lines were all removed by absorption with concentrated m41 virus preparations, but repeated absorption with concentrated, purified preparations of ibv strains: t, holte, connecticut, beaudette or h120 fa ...19872438843
comparison of two strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus for their interferon induction, viral growth and development of virus-neutralizing antibody in experimentally-infected chickens.two field strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus were tested in specific pathogen-free chickens for interferon induction, growth and stimulation of virus-neutralizing antibody. both strains induced interferon in lungs and trachea and neither strain induced it in kidneys. strain kagoshima-34, isolated from the kidneys of a chicken that had died of nephrosis/nephritis, induced interferon earlier than strain tottori-2, which was isolated from the trachea of a chicken with respiratory disease. ...19872449761
maternally-derived antibody to infectious bronchitis virus: its detection in chick trachea and serum and its role in protection.chicks with maternally-derived igg antibodies to infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were protected against challenge with a mixture of ibv and escherichia coli. this protective immunity lasted for at least 1 week. ibv-specific igg was detected, using an elisa, in the majority of tracheal washes taken from chicks aged 1 day and 1 week that had been hatched from ibv-infected hens. some of the 2-week-old chicks also had detectable antibody. this tracheal igg may be an important factor in mediating p ...198718766630
coronavirus ibv: relationships among recent european isolates studied by limited proteolysis of the virion glycopolypeptides.after the year 1978, strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were isolated in the netherlands and the uk which were assigned by neutralisation tests to four new serotypes (arbitrarily designated a, b, c and d in this communication) distinct from the long recognised us serotypes. we have labelled, with 35s-methionine, the structural polypeptides of 12 of the european isolates during growth in de-embryonated eggs. the s2, spike-anchoring, polypeptide of isolates of all four serotypes ha ...198718766585
the detection of cytotoxic lymphocyte activity in chickens infected with infectious bronchitis virus or fowl pox virus.a cytotoxic lymphocyte assay, using cells that adhered to plastic as the target cells and neutral red as the indicator for lysis, was applied to chickens infected with either infectious bronchitis virus or fowl pox virus. both target and effector cells were derived from the same bird. cytotoxic lymphocytes were generated in birds infected with either virus. the activity was confined to cells of the spleen after initial immunisation, but could be detected in white cells from the blood after chall ...198718766629
comparison of the haemagglutination inhibition test and the serum neutralisation test in tracheal organ cultures for typing infectious bronchitis virus strains.five strains of infectious bronchitis (ib) virus, which had been compared antigenically by the serum neutralisation (sn) test in tracheal organ cultures (oc), were arbitrarily coded and then compared by the haemagglutination inhibition (hi) test. their antigenic relationships were found to be similar by the two methods but, because of the high and variable cross reactions found in the hi test, the differences between the strains were less clear by that method. it was concluded that the hi test, ...198718766638
some field observations on the antibody response to avian infectious bronchitis on auckland layer farms.layer flocks on four auckland poultry farms were monitored monthly for infectious bronchitis (ib) antibody levels, using the haemagglutination inhibition test. the same birds were bled each month and antibody levels compared with egg production. the results showed that ib vaccination at 4(1/2) and 14(1/2) weeks using the live, attenuated, new zealand a strain virus, protected layers from ib infection on a farm with good management techniques but vaccination on another commercial farm gave less t ...198716031354
infectious bronchitis in laying hens: the relationship between haemagglutination inhibition antibody levels and resistance to experimental challenge.in three separate and unrelated experiments, in which vaccinated hens were challenged with virulent infectious bronchitis virus, the ability of individual hens to maintain egg production was related to their serum haemagglutination inhibition antibody titre at the time of challenge. it was found that, regardless of the vaccination programme used, the ability of laying hens to withstand infectious bronchitis virus challenge, as measured by the effect upon their egg production, is directly related ...198818766692
the induction and control of delayed type hypersensitivity reactions induced in chickens by infectious bronchitis virus.infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was shown to induce delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) reactions in the wattle, or to inhibit migration in a macrophage migration inhibition test (mit) in sensitised birds. the magnitude of the reactions was related to the sensitising dose of the virus. the optimal dose for the cold attenuated a3-ibv was 10(3 .5) eid50, higher doses giving lower responses. birds given a similar dose of t-ibv had negative dth reactions, but the spleen non-adherent lymphocytes fr ...198818766694
serological classification of recent infectious bronchitis virus isolates by the neutralization of immunofluorescent foci.the neutralisation of immunofluorescent foci test was adapted to the grouping of 14 recent dutch infectious bronchitis virus isolates. this test provides a distinct grouping of the isolates and the corresponding sera. evaluation of the tests was carried out by means of the computer program called 'taxonomic', designed for the calculation of taxonomic order from serological data. the taxonomic order, depicted in the form of a tree, facilitates the judgement of the degree of resemblance between vi ...198818766673

genetic differences in susceptibility to a mixture of avian infectious bronchitis virus and escherichia coli.two-week-old chickens of 9 inbred and partially inbred lines of chickens were challenged intranasally with a mixed infection consisting of a pool of virulent strains of infectious bronchitis virus and a pool of pathogenic strains of escherichia coli. 2. wide differences in mortality were observed in the different lines, ranging from 3% in a brown leghorn line to 87% in white leghorn line 7(2). 3. experiments involving challenge with e. coli alone or virus alone suggested that this variation refl ...19892545316
phylogeny of antigenic variants of avian coronavirus ibv.the sequences of the peplomeric s1 protein of four serologically distinct strains of the infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), an avian coronavirus, have been determined. the s1 protein is thought to contain the serotype-specific neutralization epitopes and to be the main target of antigenic variation. an alignment with sequences of three strains published previously showed that from the 545 amino acid residues only 243 have been conserved. clustering of substitutions suggests that most serotype de ...19892466369
antigenicity of the peplomer protein of infectious bronchitis virus.to study the antigenic structure of the peplomer protein of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus, fragments from the peplomer gene were generated by restriction-enzyme cleavage or by limited dnase digestion and inserted in the escherichia coli expression plasmid pex (stanley and luzio, 1984). the antigenicity of the expression products was tested using a number of polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies. the polyclonal antisera recognized different sets of epitopes in the 1162 ...19892467199
characterization of infectious bronchitis virus using monoclonal antibodies.three monoclonal antibodies (mabs) reactive against two structural proteins--the nucleoprotein (np) or the surface (s) protein--of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were produced and characterized. the mabs did not neutralize virus infectivity or inhibit hemagglutination. their reactivity patterns with the homologous strain and eight heterologous strains of ibv were determined using the indirect immunoperoxidase test, the indirect immunofluorescent test, transfer-immunoblotting of separate ...19892476112
analysis of an immunodominant region of infectious bronchitis virus.we analyzed the antigenic fine-structure of an immunodominant region in the peplomer protein of infectious bronchitis virus. this region near the n-terminus of the s2 subunit is recognized by polyclonal antisera and by the majority of mab that cross-react with denatured protein. despite their involvement in neutralization, epitopes in this region were conserved in different serotypes. epitopes of four mab and two chicken antisera were localized by using prokaryotic expression of cdna fragments, ...19892477454
comparative infectivity for axenic and specific-pathogen-free chickens of o2 escherichia coli strains with or without virulence factors.adhesion to epithelial respiratory cells, iron acquisition, and production of k1 polysaccharide capsules have been proposed as potential virulence factors of avian escherichia coli. these factors were studied by inoculating groups of axenic or specific-pathogen-free (spf) chickens intratracheally with o2 e. coli strains after previous challenge with a wild strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). in all experiments, the association between ibv and an e. coli strain endowed with the three vir ...19892522766
coronavirus genome: prediction of putative functional domains in the non-structural polyprotein by comparative amino acid sequence analysis.amino acid sequences of 2 giant non-structural polyproteins (f1 and f2) of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), a member of coronaviridae, were compared, by computer-assisted methods, to sequences of a number of other positive strand rna viral and cellular proteins. by this approach, juxtaposed putative rna-dependent rna polymerase, nucleic acid binding ("finger"-like) and rna helicase domains were identified in f2. together, these domains might constitute the core of the protein complex involved ...19892526320
antigenic relationship among strains of ibaraki virus and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus studied with monoclonal antibodies.twelve monoclonal antibodies against ibaraki virus (ibv) were established and preliminarily characterised by indirect immunoperoxidase (iip), haemagglutination inhibition (hi) and neutralisation (nt) tests. five antibodies reacted in the iip test with all ibv and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) strains tested, and five antibodies reacted with ibv and alberta strain (serotype 2) but not with new jersey strain (serotype 1) of ehdv. two of 12 antibodies showed both hi and nt activities. ...19892539639
immunohistological identification of both infectious bursal and marek virus antigens in the bursa of fabricius.indirect immunoperoxidase (iip) and avidin biotin-peroxidase complex (abc) techniques were used for the detection of infectious bursal virus (ibv) and marek disease virus (mdv) antigens in alcohol and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lymphoid tissues from broilers. both techniques appeared potentially useful for the diagnosis of both viral antigens in alcohol-fixed tissues, and allowed the observation of dual infection in the bursa of fabricius of the studied animals in a natural infection.19892540946
