maternal immunoglobulins and parainfluenza 3 virus inhibitors in the nasal and lachrymal secretions and serum of newborn lambs.concentrations of igg, igm and iga were measured in the serum, nasal secretions and lachrymal secretions of suckled newborn lambs. the major immunoglobulin constituent of precolostral serum was igm. maternal immunoglobulins, of which igg was predominant, reached peak values on day 1 of life and then declined over the next 3 weeks. half lives were calculated as: igg, 13-7 days; igm, 4-1 days; and iga 1-8 days. no immunoglobulin was detectable in nasal or lachrymal secretions prior to sucking but ...1976181185
effect of passive antibody on parainfluenza virus type 3 pneumonia in hamsters.both parainfluenza virus type 3 and respiratory syncytial virus may produce life-threatening pneumonia or bronchiolitis in infants less than 6 months old. almost all infants in this age group possess passively acquired maternal antibodies to both viruses. it has been suggested that maternal antibodies may actually participate in the pathogenesis of these diseases in early infancy. this investigation examined the effect of moderate levels of passive antibody on the development of pneumonia in ham ...1976181324

isolation and properties of reovirus from cattle in an outbreak of acute respiratory disease.a cytopathogenic virus was isolated in the primary culture of bovine kidney cells from a nasal swab of affected calves in an outbreak of acute respiratory disease in japan in 1971. it agglutinated human type o erythrocytes and produced cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. viral replication was inhibited by 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, indicating that the viral nucleic acid was rna. the virus was resistant to ether, chloroform, sodium deoxycholate, and acid, and passed readily through sartorius' membrane fil ...1976181678
immunity studies in calves vaccinated with a multivalent live respiratory vaccine composed of i.b.r., parainfluenza 3 and bovine adenovirus type 3.the persistence of systemic and local antibodies was studied after two intranasal administrations of the vaccine, six weeks apart. systemic antibodies to i.b.r. and adenovirus 3 evoked by the vaccine were still present 21 weeks following the second dose of the vaccine. inconslusive results were obtained regarding the persistence of systemic and local pi-3 antibodies because of an intercurrent natureal pi-3 infection occurring during the observation period. local antibodies to adenovirus type 3 w ...1976182597
intranasal vaccination of cattle against ibr and pi3: field and laboratory observations in dairy, beef, and neonatal calf populations.the author first summarizes the development of intranasal vaccination by nasalgen p and particularly nasalgen ip, previously reported, and then reviews present knowledge regarding safety and efficacy of nasalgen ip in feeder calves, dairy animals and neonates. the minimal immunogenic dose is evaluated, as well as the secretory antibody response and the development of interferon. two studies are reported on the transmission from vaccinates to susceptible non-vaccinates and the evaluation of the p ...1976182599

[effects of concanavalin a on the adsorption and penetration of paramyxoviruses into cells].the lectin concavaline a, when added to cell cultures of chick embryos and calf kidney one hour prior to their injection with the virus of the newcastle disease and that of parainfluenza-3 in cattle produces no adverse effect on the cell receptors of these viruses. on cells treated with concavaline 60 per cent and more virions are adsorbed as compared with the untreated cells. this is explained by the fact that concavaline binds to the cellular and viral glucoproteins. virions bound to concavali ...1976183345
synthesis and antiviral and antimicrobial activity of certain 1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-4,5-disubstituted imidazoles.starting with aica ribonucleoside the following nucleosides were prepared. methyl 5-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-o-acetyl-beta-d-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4-carboxylate (5) was converted into methyl 5-chloro-1-(2,3,5-tri-o-acetyl-beta-d-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4-carboxylate (6) via diazotization in the presence of cuprous chloride. similarly, 5-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-o-acetyl-beta-d-ribofuanosyl)imidazole-4-carbonitrile (9) was converted into 5-chloro-, 5-bromo-, and 5-iodo-1-(2,3,5-tri-o-acetyl-beta-d-ribofura ...1976184281
immunoglobulins in the serum and nasal secretions of lambs following vaccination and aerosol challenge with parainfluenza 3 virus.serial changes in the concentrations of igm, igg and iga were compared in specific pathogen free (spf) lambs which had been vaccinated with live or inactivated parainfluenza 3 virus (pi 3) by either intramuscular (im) or intranasal (in) routes followed by aerosol challenge with pi 3. in the serum, an increase in igm was associated with the primary antibody response to the aerosol challenge, whereas increased igg was associated with the secondary antibody response. no changes in immunoglobulin co ...1976193171
