a leader sequence is present on mrna a of avian infectious bronchitis virus.the subgenomic mrnas of the fowl coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) form a 3' co-terminal or 'nested' set. the rnase t1 oligonucleotide mapping data which demonstrated this form of sequence organization provided no evidence for the presence of non-contiguous (leader) sequences fused to the 5' termini of the mrnas. however, we have been able to demonstrate, by extension of an end-labelled synthetic oligonucleotide primer, the presence of a leader sequence on ibv mrna a. sequencing by t ...19846086827
sequential development of humoral immunity and assessment of protection in chickens following vaccination and challenge with avian infectious bronchitis virus.chicks without specific maternal antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus were vaccinated intranasally at two weeks old with a live h120 vaccine and a proportion revaccinated with a live h52 vaccine at 15 weeks. groups of these birds were then challenged intratracheally with the massachusetts m41 strain at varying intervals and their humoral antibody responses monitored by neutralisation and haemagglutination-inhibition tests. protection was assessed by the presence of tracheal ciliostasis ...19846089286
occurrence and significance of infectious bronchitis virus variant strains in egg and broiler production in the netherlands.despite vaccination against infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) with the massachusetts type vaccine viruses h120 and h52 in the netherlands, an increasing number of properly vaccinated flocks have suffered from the disease since 1978. in the years 1978-1982, the virus was isolated from 162 ibv suspected flocks. cross-virus-neutralization tests showed that the majority (67 per cent) of these isolates belonged to serotypes other than the massachusetts type, the connecticut-, florida-, iowa 97-, iowa ...19846091319
in vitro and in vivo studies with an avian reovirus derived from a temperature-sensitive mutant clone.a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of avian reovirus isolate maine 1-203 was obtained at 41 c. the 19th passage of this mutant (ts 19) was utilized for in vitro studies comparing its replication in macrophage cultures with that of its parent strain and an apathogenic s1133 virus. in vivo studies were initiated to determine the ts mutant's pathogenicity for day-old chicks, safety and protective levels for 6-day-old chicks, and interference with marek's disease, newcastle, and infectious bronchit ...19846091605

monoclonal antibodies to the s1 spike and membrane proteins of avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus strain massachusetts m41.we have established four murine hybridoma cell lines which secrete specific antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strain massachusetts m41. two monoclonal antibodies reacted with the spike protein and two reacted with the membrane protein. the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies for the external structural proteins was detected by immunoprecipitations using radiolabelled virus. the reactions of the monoclonal antibodies showed that one (s1) of the two glycopolypeptides associa ...19846096499
use of egg yolk in serological tests (elisa and hi) to detect antibody to newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, and mycoplasma gallisepticum.serum and yolks from commercial flocks and from hens exposed to newcastle disease virus (ndv), infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), and mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) were tested for immunoglobulin g antibody by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) test. yolks prepared by chloroform extraction and low-speed centrifugation performed well in the serological tests used and were a suitable alternative to serum for antibody determination by the elisa for ...19846098252
nephropathogenicity of infectious bronchitis virus.four strains of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were compared in chickens as to nephropathogenicity. two of the viruses were from the united states, one was from australia, and one from italy. each has been described as nephropathogenic. the australian strain proved to be most pathogenic and was then followed by the italian strain and, finally, the two viruses from the united states. with an increase in the age of the chickens there was an apparent decrease in pathogenic effect. all of the vir ...19846099569
replication and morphogenesis of avian coronavirus in vero cells and their inhibition by monensin.avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was adapted to vero cells by serial passage. no significant inhibition of ibv replication was observed when infected vero cells were treated with alpha-amanitin or actinomycin d. in thin sections of infected cells, assembly of ibv was observed at the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer), and mature ibv particles were located in dilated cisternae of the rer as well as in smooth cytoplasmic vesicles. in addition to typical ibv particles, enveloped particles con ...19846099655
sequence of the membrane protein gene from avian coronavirus ibv.cdna clones prepared from genomic rna of coronavirus ibv have been sequenced. the nucleotide sequence for the complete 5' region of mrna c, which is not present in mrnas a and b, has been determined. a sequence of 1224 bases is presented which contains a long open reading frame predicting a polypeptide of molecular weight 25 443. this is in agreement with the molecular weight of 23 000 reported for the unglycosylated form of the membrane polypeptide.19846099661
demonstration of 7-nm projections on human and avian coronaviruses.direct electron microscopy (em) of human coronavirus (hcv) strain oc43 and avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strain f revealed particles with small granular projections about 7 nm in size in addition to the characteristic coronavirus particles with projections of 20 nm. relationship of the short fringed form to the conventional coronavirus particle is established by ordinary immune electron microscopy (iem) and immunosorbent electron microscopy (isem).19846099927
effect of different passage histories of infectious bronchitis virus on the sensitivity to inhibitors in chick serum and their removal by trypsin.sensitivity of the beaudette strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) to non-antibody inhibitors in neutralization tests depended on the passage history of the virus. the chick embryo kidney cell-adapted (e71 cek11) virus was the most sensitive, but after one chick embryo (ce) passage (e71 cek11 e1), this virus showed reversion to the sensitivity of the parent virus (e71). ibv inhibitors in chicken serum could be removed by treatment with trypsin but not with phospholipase c.19846147998
use of monoclonal antibodies to assess antigenic relationships of avian infectious bronchitis virus serotypes in the united states. 19846204515
serological comparison and antigenic relationships of seven serotypes of infectious bronchitis virus using the hemagglutination-inhibition test.the antigenic relationships, antigenic spectrum, and immunogenicity of seven isolates of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were examined using the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) test. because there was a discontinuity of antigenic relationships and a high degree of cross-reactivity among serotypes of ibv in cross-hemagglutination-inhibition tests, the range of antigenic spectrum used to group the serotypes with the hi test should be wider than the limits suggested by the plaque-reduction test. ...19846204631
determination of the antigenic relationships within the massachusetts (m41) type of infectious bronchitis virus using the hemagglutination-inhibition test.the antigenic relationships, antigenic spectrum, and immunogenicity of seven ibv-massachusetts-41 isolates were investigated using the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) test. hi titers equal to 32 are considered suspicious, titers lower than 32 are considered negative, and titers higher than 32 are considered positive immune responses to infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). some isolates of massachusetts-41 ( m41 ) were capable of inducing large quantities of antibodies in chickens following inocul ...19846204632
immunomodulatory activity of isoprinosine on experimental viral infections in avian models.the immunomodulatory activity of isoprinosine treatments have been experimentally verified on chicken infected by three different viruses: newcastle disease, fowl plague and avian infectious bronchitis. in protection tests, positive variations in the mean day of death rather than in the mortality rate were found depending on the modality of treatment. a stimulatory influence on primary anti-newcastle disease virus antibody response was observed. in the avian model the isoprinosine antiviral effe ...19846207123
muscle protein synthesis and growth of two strains of chicks vaccinated for newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis.rates of in vitro protein synthesis were monitored during an 8-week period in male broilers and leghorns. the birds received vaccinations during weeks 2 and 5 posthatching for newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis by the administration of a standard dose of the mixed vaccine in the drinking water. both types of birds exhibited a marked decline in the rate of protein synthesis during each week after vaccination. the decline in ribonucleic acid (rna) and deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) levels we ...19846207519
rapid serotyping of infectious bronchitis virus isolates with the hemagglutination-inhibition test.the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) test was evaluated as a method of typing recent suspect infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) isolates. hemagglutination (ha) antigen was prepared from each isolate by phospholipase c treatment of virus concentrated from allanto-amniotic fluids of infected chicken embryos. an hi test was run with the ha antigen of each isolate against a battery of 17 antisera that had been prepared against different ibv strains classified by virus neutralization (vn). the hi test ...19846207809
evaluation of inactivated mycoplasma gallisepticum oil-emulsion bacterins for protection against airsacculitis in broilers.broiler chicks were vaccinated subcutaneously in the neck at various ages with a single 0.5-ml dose of beta-propiolactone-inactivated mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) oil-emulsion bacterin. four weeks later, vaccinated and control chicks were placed in cold environmental cabinets, infected with infectious bronchitis virus intratracheally, and 2 days later challenged by aerosol exposure to live mg broth culture. all chicks were killed 21 days later and scored postmortem for the rate and severity of ...19846721795
significance of lysosomes in the morphogenesis of coronaviruses.virus-containing electron-dense membrane-bound cytoplasmic bodies are described in tracheal epithelial cells of chickens infected with infectious bronchitis virus and in intestinal epithelial cells of swine infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. using silver-methenamine staining, phosphotungstic acid staining and acid phosphatase enzyme cytochemical staining of ultra-thin sections, these bodies were shown to be virus-containing secondary lysosomes and residual bodies. the accumulation of ...19846320768
the use of reference preparations in virus content testing of vaccines.a series of virus content tests on newcastle disease, avian infectious bronchitis and marek's disease vaccines was carried out over a period of several years on commercial products together with a standard preparation of each virus. analysis of the results of marek's disease vaccine titrations revealed a good correlation between plaque count and the ratio obtained for the standard vaccine tested in parallel. expression in relation to a reference preparation is therefore of value to vaccine manuf ...19846321508
coronavirus multiplication: locations of genes for virion proteins on the avian infectious bronchitis virus genome.six overlapping viral rnas are synthesized in cells infected with the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). these rnas contain a 3'-coterminal nested sequence set and were assumed to be viral mrnas. the seven major ibv virion proteins are all produced by processing of three polypeptides of ca. 23, 51, and 115 kilodaltons. these are the core polypeptides of the small membrane proteins, the nucleocapsid protein, and the 155-kilodalton precursor to the large membrane proteins gp90 an ...19846321790
vaccination of chickens with newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis vaccines administered singly and in combination.the reactivity and immune response were determined in chickens following the administration of newcastle disease (nd) and infectious bronchitis (ib) vaccines given singly and in combination. when given singly, the ib component resulted in an earlier appearance of respiratory signs than when it was combined with nd vaccine. the intensity of the respiratory reaction appeared similar in each case, however. measured by virus-serum neutralization and from challenge with nd and ib viruses, no evidence ...19846322151
effects of subtype variations in the holland strain of infectious bronchitis virus when applied as a vaccine.massachusetts-type infectious bronchitis viruses (ibv) designated h120, from three sources, have been evaluated as vaccines. significant subtype variations were observed with the different vaccines based upon challenge virus infection and typical ib lesions induced where homologous and heterologous serotypes were used. in numerous cases, there was little agreement between challenge virus recovery from the respiratory tract and the presence or absence and severity of ib lesions. the study indicat ...19846324156
avian mycoplasma infections: prototype of mixed infections with mycoplasmas, bacteria and viruses.mixed infections involving mycoplasmas, viruses and bacteria are well recognized in chickens. synergism has been demonstrated between mycoplasma gallisepticum and the viruses of newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis and escherichia coli, although the outcome of infection is influenced by many factors associated with the host and the organisms. airsacculitis in broilers due to m. synoviae or m. gallinarum may be precipitated by concurrent respiratory virus infections including vaccine strai ...19846324630

structural analysis of virion proteins of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus.we have found six major polypeptides in virions of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus grown in tissue culture: four glycoproteins, gp84, gp36, gp31, and gp28, and two non-glycosylated proteins, p51 and p23. in addition, we detected three minor species: two glycoproteins, gp90 and gp59, and one non-glycosylated protein, p14. two-dimensional tryptic peptide mapping showed that gp36, gp31, gp28, and p23 comprise a group of closely related proteins which we have designated the "p23 fa ...19826283141
synthesis of coronavirus mrnas: kinetics of inactivation of infectious bronchitis virus rna synthesis by uv light.infection of cells with the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus results in the synthesis of five major subgenomic rnas. these rnas and the viral genome form a 3' coterminal nested set. we found that the rates of inactivation of synthesis of the rnas by uv light were different and increased with the length of the transcript. these results show that each rna is transcribed from a unique promoter and that extensive processing of the primary transcripts probably does not occur.19826283182
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to infectious bronchitis virus.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for antibodies to avian infectious bronchitis (ib) virus is described. the immune response of chickens following vaccination with ib virus was monitored using this test, and the titers were compared with those obtained by serum neutralization. the elisa appears to be suitable for ib serology.19826284110
