| l-particle production during primary replication of pseudorabies virus in the nasal mucosa of swine. | different tissue culture cell lines infected with a number of alphaherpesviruses produce, in addition to virions, light particles (l particles). l particles are composed of the envelope and tegument components of the virion but totally lack the proteins of the capsid and the virus genome; therefore, they are noninfectious. in this electron microscopy report, we show that l particles are produced during primary replication of the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (prv) in the nasal mucosa of ex ... | 2003 | 12719558 |
| effect of dietary fumonisin b1 on certain immune parameters of weaned pigs. | only few data are available on the effect of fumonisins on the immune response. the aim of the present study was to examine whether dietary fumonisin b1 (fb1) has any effect on the humoral and cellular immune response in weaned pigs, depending on the dose and the time of toxin exposure. fusarium moniliforme fungal culture was added to the experimental animals' diet to ensure an fb1 intake of 1, 5 and 10 ppm (first experiment) or 100 mg per animal per day (second experiment). the control animals ... | 2003 | 12737044 |
| immunohistochemical characterisation of pcv2 associate lesions in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues of pigs with natural postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws). | the lymphoid, renal, pulmonary, and hepatic lesions of naturally occurring postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws) affected pigs have been studied by means of immunohistology. ten conventionally reared pigs showing acute clinical signs of pmws were selected from a farm on which animal were seronegative to porcine reproductive and respiratory virus and to aujeszky's disease virus. all pigs were positive in tests for porcine circovirus type 2 by ish and ihc. monoclonal and polyclonal ant ... | 2003 | 12842612 |
| pseudorabies virus us3 protein kinase mediates actin stress fiber breakdown. | disruption of specific components of the host cytoskeleton has been reported for several viruses and is thought to be beneficial for viral replication and spread. our previous work demonstrated that infection of swine kidney (sk-6) cells with pseudorabies virus (prv), a swine alphaherpesvirus, induced actin stress fiber breakdown. in the present study, using several prv deletion mutants, we found that the us3 serine/threonine (s/t) protein kinase is involved in breakdown of actin stress fibers i ... | 2003 | 12885923 |
| a role for glycoprotein c in pseudorabies virus entry that is independent of virus attachment to heparan sulfate and which involves the actin cytoskeleton. | glycoprotein c (gc) of pseudorabies virus, a swine herpesvirus, initiates virus attachment by binding to heparan sulfate (hs) linked to proteoglycans (hspgs) on the cell surface. this interaction facilitates a required step in virus entry, the binding to a non-hs coreceptor, likely by another viral glycoprotein, gd. we demonstrate that gc has an even more direct role in virus entry than simply promoting adhesion strengthening. a porcine cell line expressing gc trans-complemented the penetration, ... | 2003 | 12667810 |
| [induction or inhibition of apoptosis by pseudorabies virus ea strain in suckling piglets]. | to study induction or inhibition of apoptosis by pseudorabies virus (prv) ea strain in suckling piglets, aujeszky s disease was replicated by artificially inoculating 15 day-old piglets with prv-ea strain. various tissue sections, such as lymphoid tissues and nervous tissues were collected. transmission electron microscopy, dna fragmentation assay, and in situ terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dutp nick end-labeling (tunel) staining were carried to analyze apoptotic cells. it was sh ... | 2003 | 12673385 |
| experimental dual infection of specific pathogen-free pigs with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and pseudorabies virus. | twenty 6-week-old specific pathogen-free pigs were divided into four groups. on day 0 of the experiment, prrsv-prv (n = 6) and prrsv (n = 4) groups were intranasally inoculated with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) (10(5.6) tcid50). on day 7, the prrsv-prv and prv (n = 6) groups were intranasally inoculated with pseudorabies virus (prv) (10(3.6) tcid50). control pigs (n = 4) were kept as uninoculated negative controls. half of the pigs in each group were euthanized and ... | 2003 | 12710495 |
| imaging of the varicella zoster virion in the viral highways: comparison with herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, pseudorabies virus, and human herpes viruses 6 and 7. | imaging by scanning electron microscopy (sem) can provide insight into viral egress. at a low magnification level, varicella zoster virions (vzv) emerge from an infected cell surface in a distinctive pattern previously described as "viral highways." viral highways consist of thousands of particles arranged in linear pathways across the syncytial surface. this egress pattern has not been described with other herpesviruses, but a systematic analysis has not been performed. therefore, the character ... | 2003 | 12627497 |

| dna vaccination of neonate piglets in the face of maternal immunity induces humoral memory and protection against a virulent pseudorabies virus challenge. | dna vaccination represents a unique opportunity to overcome the limitations of conventional vaccine strategy in early life in the face of maternal-derived immunity. we used the model of pseudorabies virus (prv) infection in pigs to further explore the potential of dna vaccination in piglets born to sows repeatedly vaccinated with a prv inactivated vaccine. a single immunisation of 8-week-old piglets with a dna vaccine expressing secreted forms of prv gb, gc, and gd, triggered an active serologic ... | 2003 | 12639497 |
| establishment and characterization of two new pig cell lines for use in virological diagnostic laboratories. | two pig cell lines derived from kidney and trachea tissues and referred to as newborn swine kidney (nsk) and newborn pig trachea (nptr) were established following serial culture of primary cells. they were characterized by an epithelial-like morphology, high capacity to replicate and stability of the cell monolayer for several days after seeding. their modal chromosome number was modified in comparison to that of primary swine cells and they both displayed a transforming potential in vitro and d ... | 2003 | 12505635 |
| characterisation of porcine monocyte-derived dendritic cells according to their cytokine profile. | the influence of interferon (ifn)-alpha on the in vitro differentiation of myeloid porcine dendritic cells (dc) was evaluated as the ability of the dc to stimulate to cell proliferation in a mixed leukocyte reaction (mlr), and as their ability to produce cytokines at exposure to bacterial and viral preparations. porcine monocytes were enriched from purified peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) by plastic adherence and cultured in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating fac ... | 2003 | 12586481 |
| transmission of pseudorabies virus from immune-masked blood monocytes to endothelial cells. | pseudorabies virus (prv) may cause abortion, even in the presence of vaccination-induced immunity. blood monocytes are essential to transport the virus in these immune animals, including transport to the pregnant uterus. infected monocytes express viral proteins on their cell surface. specific antibodies recognize these proteins and should activate antibody-dependent cell lysis. previous work showed that addition of prv-specific polyclonal antibodies to prv-infected monocytes induced internaliza ... | 2003 | 12604815 |

| application of phylogeny reconstruction and character-evolution analysis to inferring patterns of directional microbial transmission. | i used phylogenetic analyses to reconstruct patterns of directional interspecific transmission during a pseudorabies virus outbreak in illinois, usa, in 1989. isolates were recovered from five species: cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and raccoons (procyon lotor). i generated dna sequences for 16 isolates of pseudorabies virus at the glycoprotein c gene, from which i constructed phylogenetic trees. i then used these trees, in combination with parsimony-based analyses of character evolution, to infer ... | 2003 | 14516717 |
| characterization of changes in the short unique segment of pseudorabies virus buk-tk900 (suivac a) vaccine strain. | mutant strains of pseudorabies virus (prv) of reduced virulence, such as bartha or buk-tk900, have been used for vaccination purposes for many years. in contrast to the bartha strain, buk-tk900 has not been well characterised at the molecular level. the detailed analysis of this vaccine strain was urged by the fact of the isolation in poland of field strains which were suspected to originate from buk-tk900. we characterised changes in the u(s) region of this strain, focusing our attention on ge ... | 2003 | 12898333 |
| novel recombinant parapoxvirus vectors induce protective humoral and cellular immunity against lethal herpesvirus challenge infection in mice. | orf virus (orfv; parapoxvirus ovis) was used to develop a novel vector system for the generation of effective and safe live vaccines. based on the attenuated orfv strain d1701-v, recombinants were produced that express the glycoproteins gc (d1701-vrvgc) or gd (d1701-vrvgd) of the alphaherpesvirus of swine, pseudorabies virus (prv). expression of gc and gd was also demonstrated on the surface of recombinant virus-infected murine cells that do not produce infectious orfv. single or combined immuni ... | 2003 | 12915547 |
| potential sites of virus latency associated with indigenous pseudorabies viruses in feral swine. | free-ranging feral swine (sus scrofa) are known to be present in at least 32 states of the usa and are continuously expanding their range. infection with pseudorabies virus (prv) occurs in feral swine and the primary route of transmission in free-living conditions seems to be venereal. between 1995 and 1999, naturally infected feral swine and experimentally infected hybrid progeny of feral and domestic swine, were kept in isolation and evaluated for occurrence of latent prv indigenous to feral s ... | 2003 | 14567217 |
| pseudorabies virus (prv)-specific antibodies suppress intracellular viral protein levels in prv-infected monocytes. | blood monocytes infected with pseudorabies virus (prv), a swine alphaherpesvirus, are not eliminated efficiently by antibody-dependent immunity and may occasionally transport prv to the pregnant uterus of vaccinated animals. this study examines in vitro the long-term fate of prv-infected monocytes cultivated in the presence of porcine prv-specific antibodies. all monocytes were infected and expressed viral late proteins, and 30 % of prv-infected monocytes cultivated with prv-specific antibodies ... | 2003 | 14573801 |
| the pseudorabies virus us2 protein, a virion tegument component, is prenylated in infected cells. | the us2 gene is conserved among alphaherpesviruses, but its function is not known. we demonstrate here that the pseudorabies virus (prv) us2 protein is synthesized early after infection and localizes to cytoplasmic vesicles and to the plasma membrane, despite the lack of a recognizable signal sequence or membrane-spanning domain. us2 protein is also packaged as part of the tegument of mature virions. the us2 carboxy-terminal four amino acids comprise a caax motif, a well-characterized signal for ... | 2003 | 14581565 |
| are hypothalamic neurons transsynaptically connected to porcine adipose tissue? | specific anatomical sites and pathways responsible for mediating metabolic and neuroendocrine effects of leptin are still poorly understood. therefore, we examined distribution of leptin receptor-containing neurons transsynaptically connected with the porcine fat tissue by means of combined viral transneuronal tracing and immunohistochemical staining method. pseudorabies virus (prv) was injected into the perirenal fat tissue in pigs, and after survival periods of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 days, hypotha ... | 2003 | 14592440 |
| expression of pseudorabies virus ge epitopes in pichia pastoris and its utilization in an indirect prv ge-elisa. | pseudorabies virus glycoprotein e (prv ge) has been recognized as a suitable diagnostic antigen for pseudorabies. in order to produce ge antigen in large quantities and at low cost, a gene fragment encoding prv ge epitopes was expressed in pichia pastoris expression system. sds-page and western blotting revealed that the expression product was two recombinant proteins, approximately 38 and 32 kda, in the culture supernatant of p. pastoris integrant 72 h after induction. protein concentration ass ... | 2003 | 14625049 |
| neurons of the rat preoptic area and the raphe pallidus nucleus innervating the brown adipose tissue express the prostaglandin e receptor subtype ep3. | the major effector organ for thermogenesis during inflammation or experimental pyrogen-induced fever in rodents is the brown adipose tissue (bat). prostaglandin e2 (pge2) microinjection into the medial preoptic area (poa) of rats leads to hyperthermia through an increase in bat thermogenesis and induces pyrogenic signal transmission towards the raphe pallidus nucleus (rpa), a brainstem nucleus known to contain sympathetic premotor neurons for bat control. the medial poa has a high expression of ... | 2003 | 14622218 |
| effect of mild stress in mice latently infected pseudorabies virus. | stress is one of the important factors that induces reactivation of pseudorabies virus (prv) in latently infected pigs. we established a murine model of latent prv infection and examined the effects of mild stress treatment in order to demonstrate that this model simulates natural infection in the pig. latently infected mice excreted prv from the nasal cavity under stress treatments consisting of restraint, exposure to cold or transport. similar reactions have been observed upon treatment with a ... | 2003 | 14625402 |
| specificity of three elisa-ge kits for screening pig meat for antibodies to aujeszky's disease. | muscle samples (20 g) from 2025 pig carcases from aujeszky's disease-free holdings were collected at the slaughterhouse. the samples were frozen and thawed to obtain meat juice, which was then analysed by three elisa-ge test kits in parallel, to assess their specificity. after two cycles of freezing and thawing, 2.2 per cent of the samples were dry. three times more of the samples from the sow carcases than from the finisher carcases yielded insufficient juice (< 220 microl). to validate the res ... | 2003 | 14653341 |
| the neutralization of pseudorabies virus by anti-alpha-galactocyl natural antibody in normal serum. | pseudorabies virus (prv), a member of herpesviridae alphaherpes subfamily, can infect human cells in vitro. however, the transmission to old world primates including humans is strongly restricted. in this study, we report the neutralizing activity of normal human serum against prv grown in cpk cells derived from pig. prv grown in all old world primates-derived cells, which was tested in this study, were not neutralized by normal human serum. the virion of prv grown in cpk cells harbored galalpha ... | 2004 | 14687940 |
| resistance to pseudorabies virus infection in transformed cell lines expressing a soluble form of porcine herpesvirus entry mediator c. | porcine herpesvirus entry mediator c (hvec) is an alphaherpesvirus receptor that binds to virion glycoprotein d (gd). porcine hvec mediates entry of pseudorabies virus (prv), herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2) and bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1). in order to assess the antiviral potential of a soluble form of porcine hvec, vero cells were transformed with the chimeric gene expressing a fusion protein (phvecig) consisting of an extracellular domain of porcine hvec and the fc p ... | 2004 | 14718632 |
| suprachiasmatic nucleus input to autonomic circuits identified by retrograde transsynaptic transport of pseudorabies virus from the eye. | intraocular injection of the bartha strain of pseudorabies virus (prv bartha) results in transsynaptic infection of the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (scn), a retinorecipient circadian oscillator. prv bartha infection of a limited number of retinorecipient structures, including the scn, was initially interpreted as the differential infection of a subpopulation of rat retinal ganglion cells, followed by replication and anterograde transport via the optic nerve. a recent report that used a ... | 2004 | 14991563 |
| transcriptional response of a common permissive cell type to infection by two diverse alphaherpesviruses. | pseudorabies virus (prv) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) are distantly related alphaherpesviruses whose natural hosts are pigs and humans, respectively. adult infections of natural hosts are mild and rarely lethal. however, both viruses are also able to infect other hosts, often with lethal effects. in this report, we use the paradigm of infection of a common permissive cell type and microarray analysis to determine if these two diverse alphaherpesviruses engage similar or different cell ... | 2004 | 15016872 |
| vaccine-induced t cell-mediated immunity plays a critical role in early protection against pseudorabies virus (suid herpes virus type 1) infection in pigs. | the aim of our study was to evaluate the relative importance of antibody and t cell-mediated immunity in protection against pseudorabies virus (suid herpes virus type 1) infection in pigs. we induced different levels of immune responses by using: (1) a modified live vaccine; (2) the same modified live vaccine with an oil-in-water (o/w) adjuvant; (3) an inactivated vaccine; and (4) the same inactivated vaccine with an o/w adjuvant. subsequently, we challenged pigs with virulent pseudorabies virus ... | 2004 | 15113659 |
| copatching and lipid raft association of different viral glycoproteins expressed on the surfaces of pseudorabies virus-infected cells. | pseudorabies virus (prv) is a swine alphaherpesvirus that is closely related to human herpes simplex virus (hsv). both prv and hsv express a variety of viral envelope glycoproteins in the plasma membranes of infected cells. here we show that at least four major prv glycoproteins (gb, gc, gd, and ge) in the plasma membrane of infected swine kidney cells and monocytes seem to be linked, since monospecific antibody-induced patching of any one of these proteins results in copatching of the others. f ... | 2004 | 15113909 |
| aujeszky's disease vaccination and differentiation of vaccinated from infected pigs. | in this paper, the use of a glycoprotein e (ge)-deleted vaccine to eradicate aujeszky's disease virus (adv) or pseudorabies virus in swine is described. in regions where there is a dense population of swine, adv is highly prevalent and intensive vaccination with such a marker vaccine has resulted, in several countries, in a decrease of the field virus prevalence to a sufficiently low level so that culling becomes economically feasible. the evolution in the reduction of circulating field virus ca ... | 2004 | 15742635 |
| construction of recombinant pseudorabies virus expressing ns1 protein of japanese encephalitis (sa14-14-2) virus and its safety and immunogenicity. | the bivalent genetic engineering vaccine of japanese encephalitis (je) and aujeszkj disease (ad) was developed to provide a novel approach to prevent and control these two diseases. ns1 gene of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) sa14-14-2 strain was produced by reverse transcriptase-mediated pcr (rt-pcr) and was cloned into vector pusk to form recombinant plasmid (designed as pusk-ns1). a co-transfection experiment was performed in porcine kidney (pk-15) cells with pusk-ns1 and the genome of the ... | 2004 | 15121294 |
| [inactivation of viruses of different taxonomic groups by cuprous sulphate]. | study results of inactivated effects exerted by cuprous sulphate on viruses of different taxonomy groups are summarized in the paper. cuprous sulphate is a simple and reliable agent in inactivation of viruses of classical porcine fever, aujeszky's disease and bovine infectious rhinotracheitis. its inactivation action is based on the ability to reduce the viral genome to low-molecular fragment. apart from inactivation of the virus material, a decreased level of protective antibody determinants is ... | 2004 | 15293511 |
| persistence of pseudorabies virus in feral swine populations. | serologic surveys for evidence of exposure to pseudorabies virus (prv) in feral swine were conducted from november 2001 to april 2002 at 10 sites in the southeastern united states, where evidence of previous prv exposure had been documented during 1979-89. sera were tested in the field on the day of collection by latex agglutination. maximum sample size per site was to be 30 animals, but sampling was discontinued before reaching this number when positive results were obtained. positive results w ... | 2004 | 15362832 |
| encephalomalacic lesions in pigs dually infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and pseudorabies virus. | four pigs (group 1) were infected with an aerosol containing porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) followed 7 days later by pseudorabies virus (prv). three further pigs (group 2) received prrsv alone, two (group 3) received prv alone, and two (group 4) remained as uninfected controls. despite the admittedly small numbers of animals, the experiment appeared to throw light on aspects of synergy. thus, the group 1 pigs showed severe neurological signs characterized by ataxia a ... | 2004 | 15511536 |
| transgenic mice expressing a soluble form of porcine nectin-1/herpesvirus entry mediator c as a model for pseudorabies-resistant livestock. | an approach to genetically engineered resistance to pseudorabies virus (prv) infection was examined by using a transgene encoding a soluble form of nectin-1, also known as herpesvirus entry mediator c. nectin-1 is an alpha-herpesvirus receptor that binds to virion glycoprotein d. nectin-1 mediates entry of prv, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and bovine herpesvirus type 1. to assess the antiviral potential of an ectopic expression of the nectin-1 ectodomain in vivo, six transgenic mouse line ... | 2004 | 15534229 |
| role of il-6 and il-1beta in reactivation by acetylcholine of latently infecting pseudorabies virus. | we previously reported that the latently infecting pseudorabies virus (prv) could be reactivated by injection of swine or mice with acetylcholine. however, the mechanism of the reactivation was not clear yet. in this study, we analyzed the kinetics of cytokines related to stress to clarify the relationship between virus reactivation by acetylcholine and the immune system. il-6 and il-1beta were detected in mice after stimulation with acetylcholine. this shows that acetylcholine induced physiolog ... | 2004 | 15516795 |
| characteristics of oligodeoxyribonucleotides that induce interferon (ifn)-alpha in the pig and the phenotype of the ifn-alpha producing cells. | the immunostimulatory effects of oligodeoxyribonucleotides (odn) containing unmethylated cpg dinucleotides (cpg-odn) in certain base contexts have been extensively studied in man and mice. one major action is their ability to trigger production of massive amounts of interferon-alpha (ifn-alpha) by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pdc), also referred to as natural ifn-alpha/beta producing cells (nipc). the present study using porcine pbmc activated by cpg-odn or plasmid dna revealed a considerable v ... | 2004 | 15261695 |
| internalization of pseudorabies virus glycoprotein b is mediated by an interaction between the yqrl motif in its cytoplasmic domain and the clathrin-associated ap-2 adaptor complex. | the cytoplasmic domain of pseudorabies virus (prv) glycoprotein b (gb) contains three putative internalization motifs. previously, we demonstrated that the tyrosine-based yqrl motif at positions 902 to 905, but not the ymsi motif at positions 864 to 867 or the ll doublet at positions 887 and 888, is required for correct functioning of gb during antibody-mediated internalization of prv cell surface-bound glycoproteins. in the present study, we demonstrate that the yqrl motif is also crucial to al ... | 2004 | 15280493 |
| the use of different vaccination schedules for sows to protect piglets against aujeszky's disease. | several aujeszky's disease virus (adv) vaccination protocols of sows were evaluated with regard to the passive protection conferred on piglets in a recently built commercial farm. three different groups of sows were vaccinated using a bartha k-61 strain. one group received an inactivated vaccine during pregnancy and the other two groups received attenuated vaccines, either during pregnancy (day 65) or on the seventh day of lactation. at farrowing, sows vaccinated during lactation had lower seron ... | 2004 | 14995971 |
| interferon-gamma response of pbmc indicates productive pseudorabies virus (prv) infection in swine. | in chinese meishan/german landrace cross-bred swine f2 generation interferon gamma (ifn-gamma) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) was determined directly ex vivo at different time points after survival of a virulent pseudorabies virus (prv) infection. this reactivity was compared with the reactivity of naïve pbmc. significant ifn-gamma production was determined in elisa and elispot only after in vitro pbmc re-stimulation with prv and not with the closely related bovine herpe ... | 2004 | 15541792 |
| spatial risk assessment of herd sero-status of aujeszky's disease in a county in hungary. | a geographic information system (vetepigis) was used to analyze the adv (aujeszky's disease virus) sero-status in large-scale pig units regarding certain geographical features in a county of southern hungary. the adv sero-statuses were collected from all swine units in csongrád county in 1998-2000. the units' coordinates were combined with a vector graphical digital map of the county, with a resolution of 1:100,000. logistic regression tested the associations between sero-status of large-scale u ... | 2004 | 15454323 |

| an approach to a fmd vaccine based on genetic engineered attenuated pseudorabies virus: one experiment using vp1 gene alone generates an antibody responds on fmd and pseudorabies in swine. | foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) and pseudorabies (pr) are two important infectious diseases in swine. an attenuated pseudorabies virus (prv) has been successfully used as a gene delivery vector for the development of live-viral vaccines. in this study, a recombinant prv-vp1 virus was constructed by fusioning the vp1 gene of fmd virus in frame to the n-terminal sequence of the gg gene of prv. to test the protective immunity, 15 fmdv sero-negative white swine were divided into three groups and immuni ... | 2004 | 15149769 |
| multiplex pcr for rapid detection of pseudorabies virus, porcine parvovirus and porcine circoviruses. | a multiplex pcr (mpcr) assay was developed and subsequently evaluated for its effectiveness as a means to simultaneously detect multiple viral infections of swine. specific primers for each of four common dna viruses, namely, pseudorabies virus (prv), porcine circovirus type i (pcv1), porcine circovirus type ii (pcv2), and porcine parvovirus (ppv), were used for testing procedure. the assay was shown to be highly sensitive in that as little as 10(-4) ng of each of the respective amplicons (appro ... | 2004 | 15223125 |
| impairment of oxidative burst in porcine neutrophils induced by pseudorabies virus. | industrial swine production is affected by several serious viral diseases, such as pseudorabies, hog cholera, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, which are frequently complicated with the increased incidence of bacterial complications such as actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (app). this clinical observation is suggestive of a virus-bacteria synergism on the pathogenesis. one hypothesis is that viruses induce polymorphonuclear cell (pmns, primarily neutrophils) dysfunction resulting in ... | 2004 | 15261698 |
| development of solid - based paper strips for rapid diagnosis of pseudorabies infection. | pseudorabies (aujeszky's disease) is an economically significant disease of swine known to cause central nervous disorders, respiratory disease, reproductive failure and mortality in infected pigs. in attempts to eradicate the disease from becoming endemic, early detection is important to prevent further economic losses and to allow for detection and removal of infected pigs in domestic herds. thus, a rapid and sensitive technique is necessary for the detection of the virus. for rapid and simple ... | 2004 | 16493404 |
| a natural outbreak of aujeszky's disease in farm animals. | an outbreak of aujeszky's disease (ad) occurred in a herd of domestic animals that led to the death of seven cattle, three goats, three sheep, two cats and one dog, all of them with cns signs. the animals were not in direct contact with swine. the adv was detected in the tissue of affected animals by celi culture methods and pcr. genome strains of adv were characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis using bamh i. the results indicated that the strains of virus were identical and belonged ... | 2004 | 15633785 |
| [expression of truncated ge gene of pseudorabies virus (prv) and primary application in differential diagnosis of prv vaccination and infection]. | with the application of ge gene deleted pseudarabies virus (prv) vaccine worldwide, a corresponding differential diagnosis based on ge glycoprotein is needed in the project of prv eradication. in this study, prv ge gene without signal and transmembrane region was amplified by pcr and cloned into pgex-6p-1, generated pgex-ge. after transformation of bl21 with pgex-ge, an expressed fusion protein(about 63kd) was identified by sds-page. the recombinant proteins are produced as inclusion bodies. by ... | 2004 | 15968982 |

| targeting of herpesvirus capsid transport in axons is coupled to association with specific sets of tegument proteins. | the capsids of neurotropic herpesviruses have the remarkable ability to move in specific directions within axons. by modulating bidirectional capsid transport to favor either retrograde (minus-end) or anterograde (plus-end) motion, these viruses travel to sensory ganglia or peripheral tissue at specific stages of infection. by using correlative motion analysis to simultaneously monitor the trafficking of distinct viral proteins in living neurons, we demonstrate that viral "tegument" proteins are ... | 2005 | 15795370 |
| cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell extensions induced by the us3 kinase of an alphaherpesvirus are associated with enhanced spread. | the us3 protein is a viral kinase that is conserved among the alphaherpesvirinae. here, we show that us3 of the swine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus causes dramatic alterations in the cytoskeleton, resulting in the formation of long actin- and microtubule-containing cell projections in infected and transfected cells. analysis with a gfp-labeled virus showed that multiple virus particles move inside the projections toward the tip. gfp-labeled virus could also be found in the cytoplasm of nei ... | 2005 | 15951429 |
| cpg motif in atcgat hexamer improves dna-vaccine efficiency against lethal pseudorabies virus infection in pigs. | this study evaluated the adjuvant activity of a porcine-specific type a cpg-containing oligodeoxynucleotide (cpg-odn) in a dna-vaccine against pseudorabies virus (prv) infection. this vaccine, composed of three independent plasmids encoding prv gb, gc and gd glycoproteins, was injected alone or was co-injected with cpg-odn or control gpc-odn. cpg-odn improved the prv-specific humoral immune response and provided better clinical protection against lethal prv-infection. the prv-specific cell-media ... | 2005 | 15921828 |
| autonomic brainstem nuclei are linked to the hippocampus. | vagal nerve stimulation has been reported to enhance memory in both rats and humans, and to be an effective treatment for epilepsy in some patients, but the underlying neuroanatomical substrate(s) responsible for these effects remains unknown. since there is no direct anatomical projection from the nucleus tractus solitarius, the main vagal relay site of the brain, to the hippocampus, we tested whether a multisynaptic pathway exists. pseudorabies virus, a pig herpesvirus that can be used as a re ... | 2005 | 15975727 |
| dimerization of glycoprotein e(rns) of classical swine fever virus is not essential for viral replication and infection. | the pestivirus glycoprotein e(rns), a ribonuclease, is expressed on the surface of virions and in infected cells as a disulfide-linked homodimer. e(rns) is involved in the infection process and its rnase activity is probably involved in viral replication and pathogenesis. the most c-terminal cysteine residue forms an intermolecular disulfide bond with another e(rns) monomer, resulting in an e(rns) dimer. to study the function of dimerisation of e(rns) for viral replication, the cysteine residue ... | 2005 | 15986175 |
