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 ... | 1979 | 546791 |

[studies of influenza in palermo, 1970-75]. | epidemiological surveillance of influenza was carried out in palermo betwen 1970 and 1975. antigenic structure of viral strains a/h3n2 isolated from influenza patients during winter outbreaks was studied in comparison with reference strains circulating in the same periods in other parts of the world. antigenic drift of hemagglutinin, of neuraminidase, or of both, was observed in palermo isolates, which were progressively different from hong kong/68 strain; 1973 and 1975 isolates were similar to ... | 1977 | 597390 |
[optimal temperature of enzyme activity and heat resistance of neuraminidases as attenuation markers for influenza viruses]. | neuraminidase activity of virulent and vaccinal strains a/england/42/72, a/scotland/840/74 and a/victoria/3/75 assessed at different temperatures did not show significant differences in the temperature optima of enzyme activity. vaccinal strains were attenuated by apr-8 recombination and selection of mutants resistant to serum inhibitors (alice, rit 4025, rit 4050 strains). on the contrary, differences were found in the thermal inactivation of the neuraminidase between wild and vaccinal strains, ... | 1977 | 597391 |
serum igm antibody and influenza a infection. | sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation followed by haemagglutination inhibition for demonstrating specific influenza igm was evaluated as a means of confirming recent infection with influenza a viruses. specific igm antibodies were found in at least one serum obtained from 83% of patients with proven recent infection with influenza a viruses but in none of the sera from 21 individuals without evidence of infection. influenza igm antibodies persisted for up to 112 days after infection. the ... | 1977 | 599186 |

studies with live attenuated influenza virus in chronic bronchitis. | the use of live, recombinant virus for immunisation against influenza produced a number of respiratory illnesses, some severe, in patients with chronic obstructive airways disease. these patients are probably more susceptible to the influenza virus than are normal subjects. special care will be needed in testing these viruses on patients with respiratory disease. | 1977 | 601735 |

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 ... | 1977 | 604091 |
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. | 1977 | 604092 |
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 ... | 1977 | 604093 |
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. | 1977 | 604095 |
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 ... | 1977 | 604097 |
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. | 1977 | 604098 |
