| sequence analysis of the 3'-end of the feline coronavirus fipv 79-1146 genome: comparison with the genome of porcine coronavirus tgev reveals large insertions. | the genetic information, carried on mrna 6 of feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv) strain 79-1146, was determined by sequence analysis of cdna clones derived from the 3' end of the fipv genome. two orfs were found, encoding polypeptides of 11k (orf-1) and 22k (orf-2). the fipv sequence was compared to the 3' end sequence of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev). orf-1 has a homologous counterpart (orf-x3) in the tgev genome; both orfs are located at the same position relative to the n ... | 1988 | 3201747 |
| comparison of serologic assays for measurement of antibody response to coronavirus in cats. | serologic virus neutralization tests, indirect immunofluorescence tests, and elisa, using tissue culture-adapted feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv) or feline enteric coronavirus (fecv) were compared for their ability to distinguish specific virus exposure in cats. sera of specific-pathogen-free cats inoculated with virulent or modified fipv or fecv were used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the homologous assays to a heterologous assay that measures antibody reactivity with ... | 1988 | 2851952 |
| proteins specified by swine transmissible gastroenteritis virus: identification of non-structural proteins by two-dimensional electrophoresis. | four virus-induced non-structural proteins with apparent molecular weights of 11-14 kilodaltons (kda) were identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis in cells infected by tgev. differences in the number of non-structural proteins were observed among virulent and attenuated tgev strains as well as with two antigenically related feline and canine coronaviruses. | 1991 | 1662051 |
| virus isolation and serum antibody responses after infection of cats with transmissible gastroenteritis virus. brief report. | transmissible gastroenteritis virus was administered orally to cats. no clinical disease resulted but infectious virus was isolated from faeces for up to 22 days after infection and serum antibody was detected by neutralisation and immunofluorescence tests. | 1979 | 226036 |
| mutational analysis of aminopeptidase n, a receptor for several group 1 coronaviruses, identifies key determinants of viral host range. | feline coronavirus (fcov), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (tgev), canine coronavirus (ccov), and human coronavirus hcov-229e, which belong to the group 1 coronavirus, use aminopeptidase n (apn) of their natural host and feline apn (fapn) as receptors. using mouse-feline apn chimeras, we identified three small, discontinuous regions, amino acids (aa) 288 to 290, aa 732 to 746 (called r1), and aa 764 to 788 (called r2) in fapn that determined the host ranges of these coronavirus ... | 2007 | 17093189 |
| feline coronavirus serotypes 1 and 2: seroprevalence and association with disease in switzerland. | to determine the prevalence of antibodies to feline coronavirus (fcov) serotypes 1 and 2 in switzerland and their association with different disease manifestations, a serological study based on immunofluorescence tests was conducted with swiss field cats using transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), fcov type 1 and fcov type 2 as antigens. a total of 639 serum samples collected in the context of different studies from naturally infected cats were tested. the current study revealed that, with ... | 2005 | 16210485 |
| conservation of substrate specificities among coronavirus main proteases. | the key enzyme in coronavirus replicase polyprotein processing is the coronavirus main protease, 3cl(pro). the substrate specificities of five coronavirus main proteases, including the prototypic enzymes from the coronavirus groups i, ii and iii, were characterized. recombinant main proteases of human coronavirus (hcov), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), feline infectious peritonitis virus, avian infectious bronchitis virus and mouse hepatitis virus (mhv) were tested in peptide-based t ... | 2002 | 11842254 |
| molecular determinants of species specificity in the coronavirus receptor aminopeptidase n (cd13): influence of n-linked glycosylation. | aminopeptidase n (apn), a 150-kda metalloprotease also called cd13, serves as a receptor for serologically related coronaviruses of humans (human coronavirus 229e [hcov-229e]), pigs, and cats. these virus-receptor interactions can be highly species specific; for example, the human coronavirus can use human apn (hapn) but not porcine apn (papn) as its cellular receptor, and porcine coronaviruses can use papn but not hapn. substitution of papn amino acids 283 to 290 into hapn for the corresponding ... | 2001 | 11559807 |
| development of a nested pcr assay for the detection of canine coronavirus. | a diagnostic test for canine coronavirus (ccv) infection based on a nested polymerase chain reaction (n-pcr) assay was developed and tested using the following coronavirus strains: ccv (usda strain), ccv (45/93, field strain), feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv, field strain), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev, purdue strain), bovine coronavirus (bcv, 9wbl-77 strain), infectious bronchitis virus (ibv, m-41 strain) and fecal samples of dogs with ccv enteritis. a 230-bp segment of t ... | 1999 | 10403671 |
| feline aminopeptidase n is a receptor for all group i coronaviruses. | human coronavirus hcv-229e and porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev), both members of coronavirus group i, use aminopeptidase n (apn) as their cellular receptors. these viruses show marked species specificity in receptor utilization as they can only use apn of their respective species to initiate virus infection. feline and canine coronaviruses are also group i coronaviruses. to determine whether feline apn could serve as a receptor for feline coronaviruses (fcovs), we cloned the cd ... | 1998 | 9782266 |
| nucleotide sequence of the inter-structural gene region of feline infectious peritonitis virus. | the sequence of the region located between the s and m glycoprotein genes of the 79-1146 strain of feline infectious peritonitis virus (fipv) is presented. the inter-structural gene region encodes 3 open reading frames (orfs), termed orfs 3a, 3b and 4, with nucleotide sequences conforming to the minimum conserved transcription signal upstream of each. an additional orf, 3x, partially overlaps the 3' end of orf 3a. the fipv interstructural gene region is identical in length when compared to the i ... | 1998 | 9654687 |
| differences in virus receptor for type i and type ii feline infectious peritonitis virus. | feline infectious peritonitis viruses (fipvs) are classified into type i and type ii serogroups. here, we report that feline aminopeptidase n (apn), a cell-surface metalloprotease on the intestinal, lung and kidney epithelial cells, is a receptor for type ii fipv but not for type i fipv. a monoclonal antibody (mab) r-g-4, which blocks infection of felis catus whole fetus (fcwf-4) cells by type ii fipv, was obtained by immunizing mice with fcwf-4 cells which are highly susceptible to fipv. this m ... | 1998 | 9645192 |
