| bhv1 infections: relevance and spread in europe. | infections caused by bhv1 are very common in europe, but the disease pattern is quite different: the diseases of the genital tract are most common, those of the respiratory tract vary in intensity and prevalence. digestive disorders connected with bhv1 are in general only observed in calves and mainly in belgium. virus strains causing abortion or encephalitis are only present in a few countries. the same is true for bhv1 induced mastitis. dermatitis and lesions in the interdigital space seem to ... | 1991 | 1657511 |
| serologic survey of white-tailed deer on anticosti island, quebec for bovine herpesvirus 1, bovine viral diarrhea, and parainfluenza 3. | in 1985 unusual mortality was observed among the 3- to 4-yr-old white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) on anticosti island, québec (canada). a viral pathogen was suspected to be the cause of the deaths. thus, a serologic survey for bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1), bovine viral diarrhea (bvd) virus and parainfluenza-3 (pi-3) virus was conducted. we examined 396 deer sera from 1985. results indicated that the high mortality mainly afflicted 3- to 4-yr-old deer. in 1985, 57% of deer sampled were s ... | 1991 | 1661783 |
| the most abundant protein in bovine herpes 1 virions is a homologue of herpes simplex virus type 1 ul47. | the bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) protein vp8 is present, in large amounts, in the tegument of virions. as a preliminary step towards determining the function of vp8 and the biological relevance for its abundant presence, we describe the mapping of the location of its gene and determination of its nucleotide sequence. the gene for vp8 was located between 0.088 and 0.108 map units on the bhv-1 genome and contained a 2226 bp reading frame encoding a 742 amino acid protein. the protein, produce ... | 1991 | 1662698 |
| immunopotentiation of bovine herpes virus subunit vaccination by interleukin-2. | cattle were immunized with glycoprotein iv (giv) from bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1). groups of five animals were then given either 2, 3, 4, or 5 doses of interleukin-2 (il-2) (0.5 microgram/kg) at 12-hr intervals. animals that received no il-2 exhibited specific immune responses that are typical for bhv-1 infection, i.e. enhanced specific cytotoxicity, lymphocyte proliferative responses to giv, and increased giv-specific (elisa) and virus-neutralizing antibodies. treatment of animals with five d ... | 1991 | 1663077 |
| ability of musca autumnalis (diptera: muscidae) to acquire and transmit bovine herpesvirus-1. | bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) was detected in musca autumnalis de geer after feeding on virus suspensions in bovine albumin or sucrose. virus was detected for 48 h in flies fed an albumin suspension, with the highest titers recovered in crops (1.0 x 10(4) tcid50/ml) and whole-body (5 x 10(4) tcid50/ml/fly) specimens immediately after feeding; the level of virus declined rapidly thereafter. virus titers in flies fed sucrose suspensions were 5 x 10(4) tcid50/ml in excised crops and 5 x 10(5) tcid50 ... | 1991 | 1663168 |
| protective effect of inactivated bovine herpesvirus-1 in calves experimentally infected with bovine herpesvirus-1 and pasteurella haemolytica. | the protective effect of an inactivated whole-virion bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) immunising inoculum, without adjuvant, against viral-bacterial respiratory disease was studied in three experimental treatment groups of five calves each. one group was boosted 14 days after the first vaccination and at this time the second group received their initial inoculation. seven days later, calves were challenged with bhv-1 in aerosol and four days after this challenge all calves were exposed to pasteurell ... | 1991 | 1664970 |
| effects of zinc methionine and zinc oxide on performance, blood characteristics, and antibody titer response to viral vaccination in stressed feeder calves. | ninety steers with an average weight of 214 kg were purchased at 2 feeder calf sales and transported 70 to 100 km. on arrival at the feedlot, steers were weighed and identified, blood was withdrawn, and the steers were vaccinated against bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) and parainfluenza3 (pi3), using a modified live vaccine, and randomly assigned to treatment groups. treatments were: control (no supplemental zinc; zinc methionine; and zinc oxide. the control diet contained 26 mg of zinc/kg diet, an ... | 1991 | 1667527 |
| genomic heterogeneities in bovine herpesvirus type 1 viral isolates: a major variant selected from a field isolate. | we have analyzed viral dna patterns, obtained following digestion of six different infectious bovine rhinotracheitis isolates, using a panel of restriction enzymes. several differences in profiles were observed, particularly for a canadian viral strain which presumably contained a genome that was larger than the other five infectious bovine rhinotracheitis genomes. also, an insertion/deletion of a hindiii restriction site was found in the dna of a danish strain; this additional hindiii site was ... | 1991 | 1674940 |
| secondary in vitro b lymphocyte (antibody) response to microbial antigens: use in appraisal of vaccine immunogenicity and cytokine immunoregulation. | in order to perform preliminary evaluations of subunit vaccine candidates before extensive trials in large food-producing animals, an in vitro b-lymphocyte response assay, based on the principles of an elisa, was established. the assay was developed in detail for the porcine system using antigens from the gram-negative bacterium actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, but is shown to be applicable to other species and antigens, including viral components. it is further shown that b-cell activity in the ... | 1991 | 1675030 |
| nucleotide and amino acid sequence analysis of the thymidine kinase gene of a bovine encephalitis herpesvirus. | the nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence of the thymidine kinase (tk) gene of n 569, a bovine encephalitis herpesvirus (behv), has been determined and compared with those of avian, bovine and other mammalian herpesvirus tk genes. striking differences were observed between the nucleotide sequence of this behv tk gene and those reported for bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1). a total of 118 base changes, 39 base deletions and 14 base insertions were identified relative to the tk sequence of a bh ... | 1991 | 1678935 |
| mapping of 10 epitopes on bovine herpesvirus type 1 glycoproteins gi and giii. | in order to map some of the immunologically important sites on bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1), deleted, truncated, and hybrid forms of glycoproteins gi and giii were expressed in transfected murine lmtk- cells. the cells were tested for reactivity with a panel of 16 gi- or giii-specific monoclonal antibodies (mabs) possessing conformation-independent antigen binding properties. this panel represented five epitopes on gi and five epitopes on giii. for gi, two epitopes were mapped between resid ... | 1990 | 1691884 |
| recombinant herpesviral proteins produced by cell-free translation provide a novel approach for the mapping of t lymphocyte epitopes. | the availability of viral genes in cloned dna forms, in addition to the parallel development of an efficient cell-free system capable of producing viral proteins in vitro, has provided new opportunities for the identification of important t cell ag encoded within viral genomes. we have cloned bovine herpesvirus type 1 surface glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv into the rna transcription vector pe5lvpo. after translation of the resulting viral mrna in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, each cloned viral p ... | 1990 | 1694887 |
| molecular mimicry: a herpes virus glycoprotein antigenically related to a cell-surface glycoprotein expressed by macrophages, polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and platelets. | bovine herpes virus type 1 (bhv-1) giii is a major virion glycoprotein with homology to the immunoglobulin superfamily. we have investigated the possibility that giii is related to host molecules and have identified a giii-specific monoclonal antibody (mab) that cross-reacts with normal bovine cells. the cross-reactive entity was expressed mainly on monocyte/macrophages (m phi), polymorphonuclear leucocytes (pmn) and platelets, and was identified as a 43,000-63,000 molecular weight (mw) cell-sur ... | 1990 | 1697564 |
| epitope specificity of the protective immune response induced by individual bovine herpesvirus-1 glycoproteins. | affinity-purified bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) glycoproteins gi, giii and giv, as well as a virus-free bhv-1-infected cell lysate were injected intramuscularly into seronegative calves. all immunized animals developed specific serum-neutralizing antibodies and they were fully protected from disease, using a bhv-1/pasteurella haemolytica challenge model. after challenge, viral replication in the nasal passages was significantly reduced in animals vaccinated with giv (10,000-fold) or bhv-1-infecte ... | 1990 | 1697722 |
| the role of carbohydrate in the antigenic and immunogenic structure of bovine herpesvirus type 1 glycoproteins gi and giv. | the role of carbohydrate in the antigenic and immunogenic structure of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) glycoproteins gi and giv was investigated. deglycosylated proteins induced a significantly lower antibody response in rabbits than native glycoproteins suggesting that the immunogenicity of several epitopes on gi and giv is carbohydrate-dependent. loss of carbohydrate from gi also resulted in a significantly decreased ability to induce a serum neutralizing antibody response to bhv-1, due to m ... | 1990 | 1698921 |
| biochemical and functional characterization of 8-10c5 (gp120,90), a novel molecule on the surface of bovine t leucocytes. | an unclustered molecule, 8-10c5, present on bovine leucocytes, was characterized using a monoclonal antibody (mab) prepared at the university of wisconsin-madison, and the functional and biochemical characteristics of that molecule compared to defined molecules. this molecule was present on a large percentage of peripheral blood cells (84%), including t and b lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils, but was absent from immature thymocytes. mab 8-10c5 blocked proliferation to alloantigen and bovin ... | 1990 | 1702751 |
| bovine monoclonal anti-idiotypes induce antibodies specific for a synthetic peptide bearing a neutralizing epitope of bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein gi (gb). | bovine monoclonal anti-id mimicking a neutralizing epitope of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) glycoprotein gi were developed. an epitope present on the 74k subunit of gi identified by a murine mab 1e11 was selected for this study. bovine lymphocytes from the prefemoral lymph node of a heifer immunized with mab 1e11 were fused with sp-2/0, a nonsecreting murine cell-line. two bovine x murine hybridomas secreting bovine monoclonal anti-id specific for the id of 1e11 were stabilized. these anti-id inh ... | 1991 | 1709196 |

| induction of immune response to bovine herpesvirus-1 with anti-idiotypic antibodies. | previously, we prepared rabbit anti-idiotypic (anti-id) antibodies against murine monoclonal antibodies (mabs) specific for the major bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) envelope glycoproteins. glycoprotein iii (giii) contains neutralization epitopes and may be the virus attachment protein. anti-id antibodies to a neutralizing mab that reacts with giii were purified by sequential immunoaffinity chromatography. immune responses to the purified anti-id reagent and bhv-1 were compared in mice. both groups ... | 1991 | 1722098 |
| bovine herpesvirus-1 (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus)-based viral vector which expresses foot-and-mouth disease epitopes. | a recombinant infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv) vector has been constructed to express bovine growth hormone signal sequence plus a foot-and-mouth disease virus [fmdv (o1k)] capsid protein (vp1) epitope as the n-terminal sequence of an ibrv glycoprotein giii fusion protein on the surface of virus infected cells and on the surface of virus particles. sequences encoding the first 38 amino acids of ibrv giii were deleted from the recombinant to avoid redundant glycoprotein signal seque ... | 1991 | 1722936 |
| demonstration of the in vitro antiviral properties of bovine lymphokine-activated killer (lak) cells. | in cattle, cells with functional characteristics similar to those of natural killer (nk) cells are difficult to detect. however, lymphokine-activated killer (lak) cells can be detected readily after in vitro activation of peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (pbml) with interleukin-2 (il-2). in the present study, we demonstrated that il-2-activated pbml preferentially lyse bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1)-infected cells and that the cell responsible for the lysis copurified with the cell res ... | 1991 | 1726400 |
| transcriptional analysis of the bovine herpesvirus 1 cooper isolate. temporal analysis and characterization of immediate-early, early, and late rna. | blot hybridization analysis of infected bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) cellular rna isolated at various times post infection and after treatment with specific metabolic inhibitors was used to characterize transcription of the bhv-1 cooper isolate. synthesis of bhv-1 rna was detected as early as 3 h post infection and reached a maximum at six to eight hours post infection. the most transcriptionally active area of the genome was between map units 0.110 to 0.195, within the hindiii i fragment. from ... | 1991 | 1759910 |
| mass screening of cattle sera against 14 infectious disease agents, using an elisa system for monitoring health in livestock. | mass screening elisa methods were developed for testing cattle serum for antibodies against 14 common livestock diseases simultaneously. the absorbance values were transformed to a %elisa (spectrophotometric antibody end point) by a computer interfaced with a microplate reader. a histogram indicating a cutoff point and a report for the veterinarian also was generated. the computer program produced a print-out of the antibody profile for each animal tested, the antibody concentration against each ... | 1991 | 1767993 |
| feed intake, rectal temperature, and serum mineral concentrations of feedlot cattle fed zinc oxide or zinc methionine and challenged with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. | three experiments were conducted using feedlot steers in a randomized block design to determine the effect of zinc methionine (znmet) and zinc oxide (exp. 3) on feed intake (dmi), rectal temperature, and serum mineral concentrations of feedlot cattle challenged with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv). all the steers used were seronegative to ibrv. steers were adapted for 7 d to their respective diets and challenged with 3.7 x 10(5) plaque forming units of irbv on d 0 of each experime ... | 1991 | 1778828 |
| [phagocytic activity of neutrophils (pmn cells) in cattle infected with ibr/ipv virus (bovine herpesvirus 1--bhv1)]. | pmn cell random and directed migration, adherence, aggregation, ingestion of bacteria as well as resting and stimulated nbt reduction activities were studied in two groups of 5, 2-4 months-old bullocks experimentally (group i) or naturally (group iii) infected with bhv1. control groups (ii and iv) consisted of 5 healthy calves. experimental infection of bullous were carried out using polish field isolate of bhv1; animals were injected intramuscularly, intravenously and into conjunctival sack wit ... | 1991 | 1821034 |
| the three major immediate-early transcripts of bovine herpesvirus 1 arise from two divergent and spliced transcription units. | among 54 transcripts expressed in a temporal cascade during lytic infection with bovine herpesvirus 1, we have previously identified three major immediate-early (ie) rnas, ier4.2 (4.2 kb), ier2.9 (2.9 kb), and ier1.7 (1.6 to 1.8 kb depending on the virus strain) transcribed from the hindiii c genome region (u. v. wirth, k. gunkel, m. engels, and m. schwyzer, j. virol. 63:4882-4889, 1989). northern (rna) blot, s1 nuclease protection, and primer extension analysis used in the present study demonst ... | 1991 | 1845884 |
| expression of bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein giv by recombinant baculovirus and analysis of its immunogenic properties. | the gene encoding the giv glycoprotein of bovine herpesvirus 1 has been inserted into the genome of autographa californica baculovirus in lieu of the coding region of the a. californica baculovirus polyhedrin gene. recombinant protein was identified by its reactivity with giv-specific monoclonal antibodies and expressed at high levels (about 85 micrograms per 2.5 x 10(6) cells) in spodoptera frugiperda (sf9) cells. the recombinant glycoprotein had an apparent molecular mass of 63 kda, indicating ... | 1991 | 1845887 |
| pseudorabies virus mutants lacking the essential glycoprotein gii can be complemented by glycoprotein gi of bovine herpesvirus 1. | the genome of pseudorabies virus (prv) encodes at least seven glycoproteins. the glycoprotein complex gii consists of three related polypeptides, two of them derived by proteolytic cleavage from a common precursor and linked via disulfide bonds. it is homologous to herpes simplex virus (hsv) gb and is therefore thought to be essential for prv replication, as is gb for hsv replication. to isolate prv mutants deficient in gii expression, we established cell lines that stably carry the prv gii gene ... | 1991 | 1846188 |
| construction of herpes simplex viruses that are pseudodiploid for the glycoprotein b gene: a strategy for studying the function of an essential herpesvirus gene. | the primary structure of glycoprotein b (gb) is conserved strongly among many members of the herpesviridae, including some that differ vastly in their natural properties. to determine whether the structural similarity between the gbs of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) was reflected in functional homology, we constructed pseudodiploid hsv-1 virions which, in addition to their own gene encoding gb, also contained a gene for encoding bhv-1 gb. two kinds of ... | 1991 | 1847175 |
| bovine herpesvirus 1 attachment to permissive cells is mediated by its major glycoproteins gi, giii, and giv. | a bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv-1) giii deletion mutant (giii-) was produced by means of recombinant dna that retained the ability to replicate in cell culture. however, the giii- mutant was functionally defective, showing impaired attachment to permissive cells, a delay in virus replication, and reduced extracellular virus production. the attachment defect exhibited by the giii- mutant is an indication of the role played by giii in the normal infection process. this was shown by dramatically decrea ... | 1991 | 1847442 |
| immunoglobulin m (igm) indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the involvement of igm-rheumatoid factor in the serodiagnosis of bhv-1 infection. | an igm enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (igm-elisa) for the detection of antibodies to bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) was developed. its applicability was examined by serological studies in two calves experimentally infected with virulent bhv-1 over a period of 60 days. igm antibodies were detected by elisa on day 6 after infection, and there was an increase in igg antibodies on day 9. serum neutralizing (sn) antibodies were detected only on day 13, confirming the higher sensitivity of the elisas ... | 1991 | 1850891 |
| abortifacient property of bovine herpesvirus type 1 isolates that represent three subtypes determined by restriction endonuclease analysis of viral dna. | bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) isolates are classified into 3 subtypes by use of restriction endonuclease analysis. isolates from aborted fetuses have been either subtype 1 or 2a, whereas subtype 2b viruses have not been associated with abortion. we assessed the abortifacient property of isolates representing each of the 3 bhv-1 subtypes by iv inoculation of heifers with the virus 25 to 27 weeks after breeding. three heifers were given cooper (subtype 1) isolate, 3 heifers were given fi (subt ... | 1991 | 1852144 |
| molecular diagnosis of alcelaphine herpesvirus (malignant catarrhal fever) infections by nested amplification of viral dna in bovine blood buffy coat specimens. | a fragment of alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (ahv-1; malignant catarrhal fever) dna was subcloned into puc 18 and sequenced. the subclone hybridized strongly to ahv-1 dna, weakly to alcelaphine herpesvirus-2 (ahv-2) dna, and not at all to dna from bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1; infectious bovine rhinotracheitis [ibr] virus), bovine herpesvirus-2 (bhv-2; bovine herpes mamillitis [bhm] virus), and bovine herpesvirus-4 (bhv-4; isolate dn599). a 2-stage (nested) polymerase chain reaction (pcr) diagnostic t ... | 1991 | 1911989 |
| an igm specific elisa for the serodiagnosis of viral bovine respiratory infections. | a capture elisa for the detection of igm antibodies to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) and to bovine respiratory syncytial (brs) viruses was developed. in these assays, the first monoclonal antibody to bovine igm is used as the catching antibody while the second monoclonal detects specific antiviral antibodies. the test was evaluated on serum samples originating from both experimentally and naturally infected animals. from these studies, it has been shown that primary ibr and brs virus i ... | 1990 | 1963838 |
| restriction endonuclease analysis of alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 dna and molecular cloning of virus genomic dna for potential diagnostic use. | alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (ahv-1) genomic dna was analyzed using restriction enzymes having recognition sequences both low in guanine-cytosine content (bamhi, kpni, hindiii) and high in guanine-cytosine content (smai, avai, apai). the results from the restriction enzyme analyses along with exonuclease treatment demonstrated that the termini of ahv-1 dna are likely composed of polyrepetitive sequences high in guanine-cytosine content similar to those found in herpesvirus saimiri dna. cleaving ahv ... | 1990 | 1965581 |
| prospective serology and analysis in diagnosis of dairy cow abortion. | a prospective serologic investigation was undertaken on 3 california dairies (herds 1, 3, and 4, as previously designated in a report on abortion surveillance) to determine if fetal loss was associated with infectious disease agents in cows. the diagnostic problem in these herds was typical of many dairies in that abortions were not discovered for several months and aborted fetuses were seldom recovered. blood from approximately 100 pregnant cows in each herd was sampled at monthly intervals, be ... | 1990 | 1965632 |
| neutralizing antibodies to bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) and bovine parainfluenza-3 (pi-3) viruses in cattle in tunisia. | a serological survey was conducted in an attempt to detect antibodies to bovine respiratory viruses in cattle from several localities around tunis. blood was collected from approximately 10% of the animals in each of the 44 farms visited and tested for specific antibodies against bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) and bovine parainfluenza-3 (pi-3) viruses, by elisa and serum neutralization (sn). antibodies to pi-3 and bhv-1 viruses were demonstrated in 55.3% and 25.9% animals, respectively. an overall ... | 1990 | 1966261 |
| comparison of three serological techniques for the diagnosis of bovine herpesvirus type 1: serum neutralization, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence. | serum neutralization (sn), indirect immunofluorescence (ifi) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) were compared for their sensitivity and specificity to detect bovine serum antibodies to bovine herpesvirus type 1 on 105 bovine serum samples. high correlation coefficients among all three techniques were observed, showing a higher sensitivity for the elisa test. due to its simplicity and its feasibility to be adopted in less equipped laboratories, the elisa test is recommended for large s ... | 1990 | 1966502 |
| comparison of persistence of seven bovine viruses on bovine embryos following in vitro exposure. | the ability of seven cytopathic strains of bovine viruses to adhere to the zona pellucida of six-to-eight day-old bovine embryos were compared. embryos were exposed to virus by placing them either in virus suspensions or by culturing them on infected bovine turbinate cultures for 18-24 h. after exposure to bovine virus diarrhea virus (bvdv), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibv), bluetongue virus (btv), pseudorabies virus (prv), vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv), parainfluenza 3 virus (pi ... | 1990 | 2107070 |
| analysis of the transcriptional promoter which regulates the latency-related transcript of bovine herpesvirus 1. | as a transcriptional promoter in primary cultures of sensory ganglionic neurons, dna sequences near the 5' terminus of the latency-related (lr) gene of bovine herpesvirus 1 were at least 10 times more efficient than the simian virus 40 early promoter-enhancer. in contrast, as a promoter in bovine, rodent, or monkey cells, the lr promoter was approximately six times less efficient than the simian virus 40 early promoter-enhancer. the lr promoter had strict orientation preferences in neurons and a ... | 1990 | 2154601 |
| serological evidence of herpesvirus infection in captive asian elephants (elephas maximus). | in mid 1988 a 3-yr-old asian elephant (elephas maximus) from a circus in switzerland died following generalized manifestation of a herpesvirus infection. in an effort to determine prevalence of infection with the herpesvirus, and due to lack of a corresponding virus isolate, it was decided to evaluate contact animals and elephants from a second herd for antibody to bovine herpesvirus 1 (bhv1) and bovine herpesvirus 2 (bhv2). of 15 sera tested four displayed low neutralizing antibody titers to bh ... | 1990 | 2154628 |
| the interaction between bovine herpesvirus type 1 and activated bovine t lymphocytes. | the interaction between activated bovine t lymphocytes (btls) and bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) was investigated. bhv-1 infection of btls reduced the amplitude of recombinant bovine interleukin 2-induced proliferative responses. this decreased proliferation was caused by a virus-induced lymphocytolysis which was dependent on viable virus and was not inhibited by recombinant bovine interferon-alpha i1. furthermore, lymphocytolysis was not associated with virus replication or with the synthesi ... | 1990 | 2155290 |
| isolation and reactivation of bovid herpesvirus 1 in goats. | a virus isolate, recovered from the brain of a goat which died following signs of nervous disease, was identified as bhv-1. differentiation with the antigenically related caprine herpesvirus (bhv-6) was achieved by restriction endonuclease fingerprinting. eighteen months after the last clinical episode, bhv-1 infection was reactivated in a seropositive goat from the same herd following dexamethasone treatment. | 1990 | 2155378 |
