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 ... | 1986 | 3008613 |
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. | 1986 | 3010408 |
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 ... | 1986 | 3008432 |
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. | 1986 | 3028354 |
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 ... | 1986 | 3028356 |
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 ... | 1986 | 3003169 |
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 ... | 1986 | 3003236 |
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 ... | 1986 | 3008826 |

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 ... | 1986 | 3767812 |
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 ... | 1987 | 3428275 |
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 ... | 1987 | 3312491 |
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 ... | 1987 | 3039970 |
cross-reactivity among infectious bronchitis viruses in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | 1987 | 3039225 | |
effects of mutations in three domains of the vesicular stomatitis viral glycoprotein on its lateral diffusion in the plasma membrane. | the lateral mobility of the vesicular stomatitis virus spike glycoprotein (g protein) and various mutant g proteins produced by site-directed mutagenesis of the g cdna has been measured. fluorescence recovery after photobleaching results for the wild type g protein in transfected cos-1 cells yielded a mean diffusion coefficient (d) of 8.5 (+/- 1.3) x 10(-11) cm2/s and a mean mobile fraction of 75% (+/- 3%). eight mutant proteins were also examined: dtm14, lacking six amino acids from the transme ... | 1987 | 3038931 |

the predicted primary structure of the peplomer protein e2 of the porcine coronavirus transmissible gastroenteritis virus. | the complete nucleotide sequence of cloned cdnas containing the e2 glycoprotein-encoding region of the genome of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) has been determined. a single large translatable frame of 4.3 kb starting at 8.2 kb from the 3' end of the genome was identified. its deduced amino acid sequence contains the characteristic features of a coronavirus peplomer protein: the precursor polypeptide of tgev e2 is 1447 residues long (i.e. 285 longer than the avian infectious bronchit ... | 1987 | 3037011 |
systemic and local antibody responses in chickens after infection and vaccination with infectious bronchitis virus. | 1987 | 3037564 | |
sequence and n-terminal processing of the transmembrane protein e1 of the coronavirus transmissible gastroenteritis virus. | sequencing of part of a clone from a transmissible gastroenteritis virus genome cdna library led to the identification of the gene encoding the e1 matrix protein. the amino acid sequence of the primary translation product predicts a polypeptide of 262 residues which shares many features with the previously characterized murine hepatitis virus and infectious bronchitis virus e1 proteins. however, n-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed that a putative signal peptide of 17 residues was absent in ... | 1987 | 3035066 |
comparison of the effect of live newcastle disease vaccine clone 30 in broilers administered at day 1 or at day 7 and the effect of h120 vaccination at 17 days of age: a field experiment. | to analyse the results of a vaccination on the first day of age against newcastle disease (nd) and on the 17th day of age against infectious bronchitis (ib) resp. with spray vaccines with clone 30 and h120 vaccine. these vaccinations are compared in field circumstances with other vaccination methods. a serological examination and challenge test were used to be informed about the response and protection. from the present study the following conclusions can be drawn: clear indications are obtained ... | 1987 | 3031867 |
comparison of two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and conventional methods for avian serology. | sera tested for hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) activity against newcastle disease virus (ndv) and infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and virus-neutralizing (vn) activity against infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) and viral arthritis (va) virus were collected from a wide variety of accessions into the diagnostic services laboratory, poultry disease research center, university of georgia. the sera were then segregated according to hi or vn titer to ndv, ibv, ibdv, or va virus and stored froze ... | 1987 | 3034226 |
serological differentiation of avian infectious bronchitis field isolates using an enzyme immunoassay: presence of dutch strains in west germany. | six field virus isolates were identified as the etiologic agent of avian infectious bronchitis (ib) in west germany. a serological comparison was carried out using the m-41 strain from the massachusetts serotype and the dutch variant strains d-207, d-1466, d-3128, and d-3896 in a cross indirect immunoperoxidase test. three isolates demonstrated similarity to the m-41 strain; the remainder showed a closer antigenic relationship to the dutch variant strains. these results correspond to differences ... | 1987 | 3034228 |
molecular epidemiology of infectious bronchitis virus in the netherlands. | twelve dutch isolates and the m41 strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), a coronavirus of chickens, were characterized by cross-neutralization and t1 finger-printing to elucidate their evolutionary relationship. the t1 fingerprinting showed that the dutch isolates formed two clusters. the first cluster contained strains h52, h120, d387, v1259, v1385 and v1397; the estimated sequence homology is 99%. cluster two comprised strains d207, d274, d212, d1466, d3128 and d3896, which have about 95 ... | 1987 | 3029279 |
an infectious bronchitis virus isolated from chickens experiencing a urolithiasis outbreak. i. in vitro characterization studies. | an infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strain isolated from commercial layers experiencing urolithiasis was 50-100 nm in size and possessed widely spaced, club-shaped surface projections. it was sensitive to lipid solvents and exhibited responses characteristic of ibv when exposed to heat, divalent cations, and trypsin. reciprocal virus-neutralization tests demonstrated it to be closely related to gray, jmk, delaware 2868, and delaware 2897 strains of ibv. | 1987 | 2831871 |

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 ... | 1987 | 2821010 |
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 ... | 1987 | 2821170 |
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. | 1987 | 2821527 |
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 ... | 1987 | 2823768 |
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 ... | 1987 | 2823769 |
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 ... | 1987 | 2446423 |

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 ... | 1987 | 2438843 |
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. ... | 1987 | 2449761 |
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 ... | 1987 | 18766630 |
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 ... | 1987 | 18766585 |
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 ... | 1987 | 18766629 |
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, ... | 1987 | 18766638 |
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 ... | 1987 | 16031354 |
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 ... | 1988 | 18766692 |
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 ... | 1988 | 18766694 |
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 ... | 1988 | 18766673 |
routine virus isolation or detection in the diagnosis of diseases in birds. | between august 1986 and july 1987, 373 submissions for laboratory diagnosis of suspected virus diseases of birds were received. in 116 cases (31%) viruses were isolated or detected, consisting of 25 reo-viruses, 17 rotaviruses, 14 adenoviruses plus demonstration of haemorrhagic enteritis virus antigen in the spleens of 15 birds, eight pox-viruses, 19 duck enteritis herpesviruses and six other avian herpes-viruses, four duck hepatitis viruses, six other enterovirus-like isolates, two duck astrovi ... | 1988 | 18766750 |
interferon induction by several strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus, a coronavirus, in chickens. | eight u.s. and japanese strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were tested for their interferon-inducing ability in chickens. all strains induced interferon (ifn) in several organs of six-week-old spf chickens. however, the extent of ifn formation in these chickens was not necessarily the same from one strain to another. | 1988 | 2454022 |
