viruses and cancer of the lower genital tract.the importance of viruses as oncogenic agents in animals is well established. recent work suggests that viruses may also be etiologically related to some human cancers. herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) and the genital wart virus are prime suspects in carcinomas involving the female lower genital tract. in particular, a close association has been found between hsv-2 infection and cervical neoplasia in cytohistopathologic and seroepidemiologic studies. preliminary results of prospective studies ...1976179694
fluorescent antibody responses to adenoviruses in humans.specific igg, iga, and igm immunoglobulin antibody responses to adenovirus infections were studied by the indirect immunofluorescent technique in six pairs of human sera obtained during acute and convalescent phases of the illness. in addition, 70 single specimens of sera showing adenovirus igg antibody from different age groups from birth to the 60th year of life were titrated for the same antibody to adenovirus types 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, and 170 serum specimens from the same age groups were scre ...1976180061
measurements of the prevalence of viral infections.viral diseases exert their major impact through morbidity, impairment of personal health, loss of time at work and school, and cost of medical care. relatively few of the known viruses cause a significant number of deaths; influenza, childhood viral pneumonia, and hepatitis are the only viral diseases causing more than 1,000 deaths per year. data based on the national health interview survey of the national center for health statistics show that the common cold annually causes 35.6 acute illness ...1976180208
inhibition of murine sarcoma virus induced transformation by adenovirus structural proteins.the purified fibre and hexon of adenovirus 12 inhibit the transformation in tissue culture of murine sarcoma virus (msv-m) by as much as 80% and 70%, respectively, when they are added to cells 8 to 2o h before msv-m infection. during a 12 h period, only about 6 to 8% of added radiolabelled viral proteins become associated with cells (or i-o mug protein bound/10(5) cells). no inhibition occurs when the proteins are added simultaneously with msv-m or 90 min or 4 h after msv-m. there is also a dire ...1976180250

[the significance of celo virus as a hatching egg contaminant with special reference to its oncogenic properties].a group of young hamsters was injected subcutaneously in the neck region with allantoic fluid containing celo virus. a second group received transplants of cells from tumours induced by celo virus. tumours developed in both groups. the latent period was shorter after transplantation than after virus inoculation. the tumours grew progressively, histologically resembling fibrosarcoma. it is recommended that hatching eggs infected with celo virus should not be used in vaccine production.1975180924
infection of newborn taiwan monkeys (macaca cyclopis) with human adenovirus type 12 and simian virus 40.for testing biological response of newborn taiwan monkeys to infection of human adenovirus type 12 (ad12) and simian virus 40 (sv40), 40 newborn taiwan monkeys were inoculated with ad12, ad12, plus sv40, ad12 supplemented with ad12-induced hamster tumor tissue (ad12 tumor) or control specimens (hela or african green monkey kidney cell lysate). among them 26 survived including 8 newborn monkeys inoculated with control specimens. the survivors were observed for 4 years but no tumor was produced. t ...1975181217
[virus infections of the respiratory tract of dogs].canine respiratory infections are reviewed with special reference to those caused by agents, other than distemper and canine infectious hepatitis viruses, but producing, both naturally and experimentally, the so-called distemper-like syndromes. the existence of canine infections caused by adeno-herpes-,reo-, and paramyxoviruses is reported, and for each of these agents the physicochemical characteristics, pathogenicity for dogs and other animal species, incidence and methods of dissemination are ...1975181300
detection of immune complexes in the serum of dogs infected with canine adenovirus.evidence for the presence of circulating virus-immune complexes in dogs experimentally infected with canine adenovirus was found when deposits of canine igg were present in the glomeruli of recipient mice. this passive transfer of complexes occurred only with serum taken at the height of the disease when antibody titres were low and when deposition of complexes in the donor dogs was maximal. transfer of complexes was not obtained early in the disease (no circulating antibody and minimal depositi ...1976181806
importance of associated viral and bacterial infections in the production of acute pneumonias.bacteriologic and virologic investigations carried out in a group of 85 patients with acute pneumonia have allowed the determination of the etiologic agent in 52.9% of the cases. of these, 40% showed combined viral and bacterial infections. mixovirus infections were frequently associated with staphylococcic ones (7 out of 8 cases) and adenovirus infections with the pneumococcic ones (6 out of 7 cases). the most severe and longdrawn clinical pictures with frequent pleuropulmonary complications (i ...1976181833
an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis due to adenovirus type 8 in a babies home.between october and december, 1973, an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis occurred in a babies home in sapporo. 28 out of 58 infants and children suffered from the disease. infection seemed to have been transmitted within a room by hands of nursing staff with spread into other rooms through the dispensary. clinical manifestation in almost all of the patients was pseudomembraneous conjunctivitis without apparent corneal opacities. none of them showed systemic symptoms. virus isolation was ...1976181868

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
conditional lethal mutants of adenovirus type 2-simian virus 40 hybrids. ii. ad2+nd1 host-range mutants that synthesize fragments of the ad2+nd1 30k protein.adenovirus type 2 (ad2) grows 1,000 times less well in monkey cells than in human cells. this defect can be overcome, not only upon co-infection of cells with simian virus 40 (sv40), but also when the relevant part of the sv40 genome is integrated into the adenovirus genome to form an adenovirus-sv40 hybrid virus. we have used the nondefective ad2-sv40 hybrid virus ad2+nd1, which contains an insertion of 17% of the sv40 genome, to isolate host-range mutants which are defective in growth on monke ...1976183014
virus peneumonia following measles: a virological and histological study of autopsy material.adenovirus, measles virus and herpesvirus were found to be responsible for the serious non-bacterial bronchiolar and interstitial necrosis in post-measles pneumonia in underprivlieged non-white children less than 4 years of age in cape town. secondary bacterial bronchopneumonia, possibly antibiotically suppressed, proved to be less important in accounting for the extensive lung damage in 18 fatal cases that were examined virologically and histologically.1976183294

some properties of avian adenoviruses isolated from chickens with inclusion body hepatitis in japan.outbreaks of inclusion body hepatitis were observed in broiler chickens on a poultry farm during 3 years. avian adenovirus-like agents were isolated during these years from livers of diseased chickens. round-cell-type cytopathogenic effect and intranuclear inclusion bodies were produced in chicken kidney cell cultures inoculated with these agents. properties of the agents were as follows: resistant to ether, chloroform, socium deoxycholate, trypsin, heating at 50 c, and ph 3.0; sensitive to 5-io ...1976186009
an adenovirus from a turkey pathogenic to both chicks and turkey poults.an adenovirus, designated t-75 isolant, was isolated from the cloacal swab of a clinically normal turkey, 13 weeks old. the t-75 isolant was identified as an adenovirus on the basis of physicochemical properties, cytopathology, and agar-gel precipitin test. producing two-way cross-neutralization reactions with celo virus, the isolant was classified as an avian adenovirus of serotype 1. the t-75 isolant was pathogenic to both chicks and turkey poults, causing hepatitis, respiratory disease, atrop ...1976186010
avian cell cultures grown in an open system (dishes) without co2 incubator, and their use for virus cultivation.an organic buffer, n-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-n'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (hepes), in a culture medium made it possible to culture chick embryo fibroblast (cef), duck embryo fibroblast (def), and chick kidney (ck) cells in an open system (dishes) under incubation in a bacteriological incubator, requiring no co2 incubation. cef, def, and ck cells cultured with this system were suitable for cultivation of avain viruses such as newcastle disease virus, celo virus, marek's disease virus, and turkey her ...1976186014
implications of recent virological researches.rotaviruses (duoviruses) can be found in more than half the cases of acute diarrhoea in children up to the age of six or seven. about that age almost everyone has antibodies to them. second infections occur and may not be as rare as laboratory findings so far suggest. very young infants sometimes get subclinical disease-the effect of maternal antibody transmitted across the placenta? very similar viruses, all possessing a common antigen detectable by immunofluorescence, are known to infect and/o ...1976186237
content and expression of integrated viral dna in hamster cells transformed by nondefective adenovirus type 2- simian virus 40 hybrid viruses.hamster cells transformed by adenovirus 2 (ad2) and five nondefective ad2-simian virus 40 (sv40) hybrid viruses are all of the ad2-transformed phenotype. all lines accumulate ad2 rna and ad2 t antigen; two hybrid-transformed lines accumulate sv40 rna, but only one contains detectable amounts of sv40 antigens. we examines selected lines from this group of transformed hamster cells for ad2 dna content and viral rna expression by using hydroxyapatite chromatography and separated strands of labeled ...1976186633
clinical significance of viral latency.evidence is accumulating to show that a number of viruses have the ability to adapt to man's defense mechanisms and survive in a latent state for what appears to be the life of the human host. unfortunately, latent viral presence, which may appear clinically benign initally, may manifest itself later as severe and often fatal disease. some members of the herpes virus family have latent potential and are discussed in detail. clinical competence would suggest a thorough understanding of these late ...1976186670
fatal adenovirus pneumonia: clinical and pathological features.a review of autopsies of 107 young children with pneumonia showed that 15 children (14%) had adenovirus infections, the diagnosis being based on characteristic histopathological and ultrastructural features in the lungs. eleven (73%) of the cases of adenovirus infection followed on measles infection, and it is suggested that some became infected with adenovirus after admission to hospital. a review of clinical aspects revealed no unique features. histopathological examination of tissues showed a ...1976186904

adenovirus infection in lambs. ii. experimental infection of lambs.adenovirus strain gy/14 isolated during a natural outbreak was used in experimental infection. three weeks old lambs responded with temperature rise, respiratory symptoms and diarrhoea to the infection. infection spread to a contact animal, too. reisolation of the virus was successful from the nasal discharge and feces from the 3rd to 10th, and the 3rd to 5th day following infection, respectively. in the killed experimental animals the pathological and histological changes observed were similar ...1977199001
experimental infection of calves with an adenovirus isolated from sheep and related to bovine adenovirus type 2 i. clinical and virological studies.colostrum deprived calves were experimentally infected with an adenovirus isolated from sheep and related to bovine adenovirus type 2. the calves showed respiratory symptoms and mild diarrhoea from the third day after infection. laboratory tests revealed the development of leucopenia, lymphopenia, a drop of the ph of the urine and the appearance of pathological changes in the urine. the animals shed the virus in their nasal discharge, faeces and urine. comparing the clinical and virological find ...1977199002
serological response of chickens exposed to a type 1 avian adenovirus alone or in combination with the adeno-associated virus.the avian adenoviruses (av) are common infectious agents of poultry and other avian species throughout the world (1,4,8). limited observations suggest that the adeno-associated virus (a-av) coinfects many of the chickens that carry av (8). the presence and persistence of these infections in a flock is often determined by serological methods. in the current study, the immune response of chickens to type 1 av alone and to a dual exposure, av plus a-av, was followed over a 12-week period with a var ...1977199153
character of the tumors developing in young hamsters by the mixed cell transplantation of para-adeno-virus 12 and sv40 tumors-the similarity to the tumors induced by para-adenovirus 7.two mixtures of either allogeneic para-adenovirus 12 tumor cells or adenovirus (adeno) 12 tumor cells and sv40 tumor cells in an equal number of 1 multiplied by 10(7) cells were transplanted subcutaneously at two sites of 10 young hamsters. the former two tumor cells were transplantable in nearly half of the transplants and the latter tumor cells in all of the transplants. by the mixture of para-adeno 12 and sv40 tumor cells, 10 tumors were grown, 7 of which were mixed with adeno and sv40 types ...1977200058
cytomegalovirus complement fixation antibody in guillain-barré syndrome.cytomegalovirus, measles, and adenovirus antibodies were measured in the sera of 92 guillain-barré patients and 120 controls. thirty patients (33 percent) had markedly elevated levels of complement-fixing antibody to cytomegalovirus and in 21, a fourfold or more alteration in titer was demonstrated. diagnostic falls in titer were seen in most instances and no significant elevation to the other viral agents was found. the serologic findings reported here suggest that cytomegalovirus may be a comm ...1977200863
identification of amber and ochre mutants of the human virus ad2+nd1.although human adenoviruses grow poorly in monkey cells, this defect can be overcome either by coinfection of cells with simian virus 40 (sv40) or by insertion of the relevant portion of the sv40 genome into the adenovirus genome to form an adenovirus-sv40 hybrid virus. the nondefective adenovirus-2-sv40 hybrid virus, ad2+nd1, contains an insertion of 17% of the sv40 genome, which codes for at least part of a 30,000 dalton protein. a set of ad2+nd1 host-range mutants that have lost the ability t ...1977200921
investigation of causative agents of bovine respiratory tract disease in a beef cow-calf herd with an early weaning program.serum samples were collected from early weaned fall calves shortly after the onset of respiratory tract disease. antibody titers to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus, parainfluenza type 3 (pi-3) virus, bovine viral diarrhea (bvd) virus, bovine adenovirus type 3 (bav-3), and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (brsv) were determined on paired (acute and convalescent) serums. seroconversion rate (a fourfold or greater rise in antibody titer) for ibr virus was 4.3%, pi-3 virus--16.3%, bv ...1977201196

[serological response of rabbits following immunization with m. parainfluenzae-3, adenovirus i and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus associated antigens].the immunization of rabbits separately with virus suspensions of myxovirus parainfluenzae-3, adenovirus serotype i, and bovine rhinotracheitis virus or with combinations of each two of them and with a combination of all three viruses led to the production of sera having titers of virus-neutralizing antibodies acting against each of the antigens that participated in the combination. results showed that no inhibition existed of the antigens during immunization as established by the serologic respo ...1977202065
a mixed outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis due to adenoviruses types 29 and 8.an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (ekc) occurred in northern bohemia in the summer of 1975. one hundred and four patients were treated. four strains of adenovirus type 29 with low or strong pronounced cross-neutralization against anti-ad 15 reference serum, and 2 adenovirus type 8 were isolated of 4 patients. type 8 strains were only obtained from conjunctiva, type 29 also from stools. from one patient, type 8 from conjunctiva and type 29 from stool were isolated simultaneously. out o ...1977202111
radiologic appearance of viral disease of the lower respiratory tract in infants and children.the radiologic findings in 123 hospitalized children with viral disease of the respiratory tract due to adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza, influenza, measles, or herpes virus were retrospectively reviewed. bronchial wall thickening, peribronchial shadowing and/or associated perihilar streaking were present in 107 cases. patchy pulmonary shadowing thought to reflect disease at a sublobular or lobular level was present in 72 cases, while areas of coalescent more homogeneous pu ...1978202157
isolation of bovine adenovirus type 4 from cattle in oregon.four isolates of bovine adenovirus type 4 were recovered from oregon cattle. one isolate was recovered from a 1-week-old calf with pneumoenteritis, and 1 isolate from an 8-month-old bull with fever and respiratory disease. two isolates were recovered as latent viruses in testicular cell cultures. all 4 isolates of the virus were shown to have certain physical, chemical, biologic, and antigenic characteristics similar to previously described strains of bovine adenovirus type 4. of 246 adult beef ...1977202178
the binding site on sv40 dna for a t antigen-related protein.a protein closely related to sv40 t antigen was purified in a biologically active form from cells infected with the defective adenovirus-sv40 hybrid, ad2+d2. this 107,000 dalton hybrid protein binds and protects a specific portion of sv40 dna from digestion by pancreatic dnaase i. hybridization, endonuclease cleavage and pyrimidine tract analysis of the protected fragments reveal that the d2 hybrid protein binds in a sequential manner to tandem recognition sites which lie within a sequence of 12 ...1978202398
