contribution to the study of the parainfluenza antigens. | from epidemiological data it appeared that an epidemic of parainfluenza type 1 occurred in lyons in october-november 1967. thereafter a few sporadic cases were detected. then in 1970 strains were isolated which showed a change in the hemagglutinin antigen. the persistence of antibodies in the population is shorter than that of the other parainfluenza viruses (i. e. parainfluenza 3); it is not known if reinfections with parainfluenza 1 occur since there are cross-reactions by cf test between para ... | 1975 | 165116 |

presence of an anti-viral factor in peritoneal dialysis effluent. | viral peritonitis is an exceptionally rare occurrence in peritoneal dialysis. in fact, up to now, only one case report has been documented in the literature. in a prospective study, peritoneal dialysis effluent (pde) was specifically cultured for the following viruses: the herpes group of viruses, including herpes simplex types i (hsv) and ii, cytomegalovirus (cmv) and varicella-zoster (v-z), and the enteroviruses group including coxsackie b-5 (cox b), echo, enterovirus and polio. cultures were ... | 1989 | 2476580 |
effects of bovine respiratory disease viruses and isoprinosine on bovine leukocyte function in vitro. | peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 4- to 6-month-old-calves were inoculated in vitro with bovine herpesvirus-1, parainfluenza-3, or bovine virus diarrhea viruses. no increase in infectious virus progeny was observed; however, the viruses were detected in the cells for at least 96 h post-infection without any significant reduction in cell viability. the three viruses, either alone or in combination, suppressed phytohemagglutinin-induced proliferation of the mononuclear cells. the gr ... | 1989 | 2477940 |
defective transport of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein of bovine parainfluenza-3 virus in interferon treated cell. | a defective transport of bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (pi-3v) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (hn) glycoprotein was evidenced in interferon (ifn)-treated bovine turbinate (btu) cells. indirect immunofluorescence performed with monoclonal antibody to pi-3 hn glycoprotein demonstrated accumulation of this protein in the perinuclear cytoplasm of ifn-treated cells. untreated, infected control cells had a generalized widespread fluorescence. unfixed control cells showed a uniform surface fluorescence in ... | 1989 | 2482015 |
reversal of virus-induced alveolar macrophage bactericidal dysfunction by cyclooxygenase inhibition in vitro. | virus infection of alveolar macrophages (am) both in vivo and in vitro has been associated with a decreased ability of these cells to kill bacteria, together with enhanced production of metabolites of arachidonic acid. these metabolites, especially pge2, may be inhibitory to some phagocyte functions. primary cultures of bovine am obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage of normal cattle were infected in vitro with parainfluenza-3 (pi3 virus) virus. killing of staphylococcus epidermidis by am was deter ... | 1989 | 2539425 |

an evaluation of four serological tests for the detection of antibodies to bovine parainfluenza virus type 3. | haemagglutination-inhibition (hi), virus neutralization (vn), haemolysis-inhibition (hli-1, hli-2) tests, and two new haemofusion-inhibition (hfi-1, hfi-2) tests, developed by us, were tested for the detection of antibodies to bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (bpiv-3) in sera of 45 steers randomly selected from a herd naturally infected by bpiv-3. twelve seronegative animals were then vaccinated with formalin-inactivated vaccine and 15 days later tested by the above-mentioned assays. linear reg ... | 1989 | 2561663 |
rapid detection of influenza virus infections in human fetal lung diploid cell cultures. | haemadsorbing foci were found in human fetal lung (hfl) diploid cell cultures 12 h after inoculation with influenza viruses a and b. the size and number of the foci were maximal after 48 h of incubation, being limited by production of an unidentified inhibitor. by contrast, inoculation with parainfluenza virus type 3 led to haemadsorption which increased during 10 days of incubation. for the detection of influenza viruses a and b maximum sensitivity was achieved by changing the medium, the day b ... | 1989 | 2663998 |
nucleotide sequence of the coding and flanking regions of the human parainfluenza virus 3 hemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene: comparison with other paramyxoviruses. | the nucleotide sequence of the human parainfluenza virus 3 (hpiv3) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (hn) gene has been determined using cdna clones derived from both hpiv3 genomic rna and mrna. the hn mrna contains 1,882 nucleotides, not including the poly(a) tail. primer extension experiments were carried out to locate the 5' terminal nucleotide of the hn mrna. the 3' end of the mrna was located at a putative polyadenylation signal. the hpiv3 hn mrna has one large open reading frame that codes for 5 ... | 1987 | 2822598 |
