effect of influenza infection on the phagocytic and bactericidal activities of pulmonary macrophages.the effect of mouse-adapted influenza a/pr/8/34 virus on pulmonary macrophage function was evaluated by using an in vitro system which allowed direct virus interaction with macrophages and then separate analysis of the steps required for bacterial clearance by macrophages. infection of macrophages with this virus resulted in the appearance of a hemagglutinating activity on the macrophage surface; expression of this activity was inhibited by amantadine, 2-deoxyglucose, and cycloheximide and by pr ...1979546791
[morphometric study of the bronchopulmonary lymphoid system in the normal mouse and the mouse infected with influenza virus].morphometric study of mouse bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (balt) using an image analyser and histological sections at close and regular intervals was carried out in lungs of control and influenza infected mice two to three months old. the mean area of balt did not reach 0,1 p. 100 of the whole mean area of examined lung sections in control mice; this percentage was significantly greater one month after primary exposure to influenza virus.1979547752
surveillance of the antibody status to current influenza strains in the norwegian population. 1: method of serum sampling and evaluation of the a/ussr/77 (h1n1) impact in various age groups in 1978.every autumn approximately 900 randomly selected sera from various regional bacteriological laboratories are received at the niph and assayed for the presence of haemagglutination-inhibition antibodies to current influenza strains. after three years of preliminary investigations the system is now working successfully. it is possible, in retrospect, to assess the impact of various influenza strains in different age groups and regions of the country. in particular, after the reappearance of the h1 ...1979548838
an association between sub-arachnoid haemorrhage and influenza a infection.the sera of 25 patients with confirmed sub-arachnoid haemorrhage were assayed by complement fixation for 14 viruses. twenty (80%) showed elevated titres to influenza a virus compared with 3 out of 25 (12%) of control subjects matched for age, sex and district and 3 out of 17 (17%) of a group of patients with other neurological disorders. a seasonal variation in the notification of sub-arachnoid haemorrhage appeared to be related to changes in the incidence of influenza a infection.1979548946

the m protein of influenza viruses has no immunizing effect.influenza a virus m protein was prepared by electrophoresis in sds polyacrylamide gel from virus particles which had been pretreated with octylglucoside to remove the surface glycoproteins; m antigens from the influenza virus strains a/victoria/3/75 (h3n2), a/fpv/rostock (hav1n1) and a/chick/germany/49 (hav2neq1) did not protect mice against a lethal challenge infection with the virulent victoria strain.1979545115
characterization of virus-specific messenger rnas from avian fibroblasts infected with fowl plague virus.in cell-free protein synthesizing systems from wheat embryos, messenger rnas extracted from chick embryo fibroblasts infected with fowl plague virus direct the synthesis of nine virus-specific polypeptides, two of which may be related to the virus-specific glycopolypeptides. all of the mrnas are complementary in sequence to virion rna, and rnas which do not contain poly a appear to be translated as efficiently as their polyadenylated counterparts. under certain conditions of incubation, virion r ...1977561162
synthesis of influenza virus polypeptides in cells resistant to alpha-amanitin: evidence for the involvement of cellular rna polymerase ii in virus replication.influenza virus polypeptides were not synthesized in wild-type cho-s-infected cells in the presence of alpha-amanitin, but were synthesized in cho-amal cells, a mutant cell line whose dna-dependent rna polymerase ii is specifically resistant to this drug, indicating that this cellular enzyme is involved in influenza virus replication. the results of experiments designed to detect viral polypeptides synthesized from primary transcripts suggest that the synthesis of a cellular rna species by rna p ...1977561196

description of a technique for the analysis of antineuraminidase antibodies oriented to h2n2 and h3n2 influenza virus strains.a method for the analysis of mixtures of antineuraminidase (an) antibodies oriented to antigenically different neuraminidases of h2n2 and h3n2 influenza virus strains is described. the method is based on the finding that the different classes of an antibodies give different titer ratios when reacting with the recombinants a/bel/42 (h0)-a/sing/1/57 (n2) and a/equine/prague/1/56 (heg1)-a/hong kong/1/68 (n2) and a mixture of both recombinants. these titer ratios are determined under the experimenta ...1978564681
application of the egg-bit technique in poultry-disease research.experiments were carried out to determine the usefulness of the egg-bit technique (ebt) in poultry virus research with various agents available on the market. the ebt was found satisfactory for propagating 9 strains of avian influenza virus of different antigenic groups, with only minor differences resulting when the procedure used two sources of gelatin, presence or absence of cacl2, or commercial or specific-pathogen-free embryos.1977564687
radioimmunoprecipitation assay for quantitation of serum antibody to the hemagglutinin of type a influenza virus.a double-antibody radioimmunoprecipitation (rip) assay has been developed to provide a sensitive and specific measure of antibody to hemagglutinins of h3n2 influenza viruses. chloramine t was used to radiolabel purified hemagglutinins to high specific activity without loss of antigenicity. the purity of the labeled hemagglutinin was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which also established that both the ha(1) and ha(2) polypeptides were iodinated. radiolabele ...1978564916
[effect of the influenza virus and its structural components on the animal immunocompetence system].the authors studied the effect of the influenza virus a (pr8/34) and of its structural components on the immunological reactivity of mice. the enzyme of the external coat of the influenza virus--neuraminidase--possessed an immunodepressive action. administration of neuraminidase led to the elimination of sialic acids from the surface of lymphocytes and to the reduction of their electrophoretic mobility. the mechanism of the immunodepressive action of neuraminidase is discussed.1978566139
recurrent guillain-barré syndrome following influenza vaccine.two patients recovered from an attack of guillain-barré syndrome and then had a second attack of this disease, with a shorter latent period, following monovalent influenza vaccination. these cases suggest that an attack of guillain-barré syndrome may result in greater risk of future episodes of the syndrome in conjunction with exposure to influenza or other vaccinations.1978566873
investigations on the involvement of swine influenza a virus (hsw1n1) in the influenza outbreak recorded in a town of romania during the 1976--1977 winter season.seroepidemiological investigations performed with 1,620 serum samples and serodiagnostic tests with 166 paired sera demonstrated that swine influenza virus type a/new jersey 8/76 (hsw1n1) played no role in the epidemiology of human influenza in a large town of romania during 1977.1978567886

clinical acceptability of live influenza vaccine in high risk subjects and children. experience with three consecutive recombinant strains.reactogenicity and immunogenicity of three recombinant strains, alice, rit 4025 and rit 4050, were re-examined by a retrospective analysis of the data from clinical trials and routine vaccination campaigns. special emphasis was put on the acceptability of vaccinal strains for the elderly, patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, subjects with atopy and children, as well as on the safety of repeated administrations of the vaccine to the general population. the incidence and nature of postvaccina ...1977604091
rna-rna hybridization between influenza viruses.a study is described of the rnas of recombinant viruses made from a/pr/8/34, which is non-infectious for man, and wild human influenza a strains. by rna-rna hybridization it was possible to determine the proportion of the genome donated by each of the parents. the technique can be applied as a biochemical marker to detect the recombinants among parental viruses and moreover, it is a method to select the attenuated viruses among the recombinants.1977604092
live influenza vaccine in patients with chronic bronchopulmonary diseases. a multicenter study with two consecutive vaccinal strains.live influenza vaccines rit 4025 and rit 4050, containing the recombinants of a/scotland/840/74 and a/victoria/3/75 with a/pr/8/34 virus respectively, were administered during the vaccination campaigns 1975-76 and 1976-77 to patients with established chronic bronchopulmonary diseases. the study was designed to assess the clinical acceptability of these vaccinal strains and to measure the effects of vaccination on pulmonary function in this population. clinical and respiratory function findings w ...1977604093
studies of respiratory function in volunteers given live influenza virus vaccine.measurements of peak flow, vital capacity, fev1 and flow volume studies were performed in healthy volunteers for 20 weeks following intranasal vaccination with live-attenuated a/victoria/3/75 recombinants or placebo. despite differing attenuation of the two candidate strains, no effect on pulmonary function was detected.1977604095
procedures for characterisation of the genetic material of candidate vaccine strains.two procedures for characterising the genomes of recombinant influenza viruses are described. the first of these involves ribonuclease t4 oligonucleotide fingerpart analysis of separated viral rnas labelled either in vivo or in vitro and the second utilises polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to identify the double-stranded molecules formed by hybridisation between the complementary and virion rnas of two viruses. although the latter method is more suitable for routine screening purposes, both pr ...1977604097
the assay of influenza virus structural antigens in vaccines by rocket immunoelectrophoresis.the internally situated influenza virus structural antigens (matrix and nucleoprotein) and the glycoprotein hemagglutinin were assayed using rocket immunoelectrophoresis or single radial diffusion following disruption of purified virus with 1% w/v sodium sarcosyl detergent. electrophoresis was carried out for 1-4 h in 0.05 m barbitone buffer at ph 8.6. the potency estimations of ha and m activity were similar for the two methods for bivalent beta-propiolactone inactivated whole virus vaccines.1977604098
