| detection of a murine coronavirus nonstructural protein encoded in a downstream open reading frame. | mouse hepatitis virus (mhv) gene 5 contains two open reading frames. we have expressed the second open reading frame of this gene (gene 5 orf 2) in an escherichia coli expression system. this system utilized a plasmid which contained the promoter and the first 36 codons of the reca gene fused in frame with the mhv gene 5 orf 2, which is fused in turn to the beta-galactosidase gene. the protein product of this gene fusion was used to raise antibody to gene 5 orf 2. the specificity of the antibody ... | 1988 | 2834866 |
| synthesis of virus-specific rna in permeabilized murine coronavirus-infected cells. | we have developed a permeabilized cell system for assaying mouse hepatitis virus-specific rna polymerase activity. this activity was characterized as to its requirements for mono- and divalent cations, requirements for an exogenous energy source, and ph optimum. this system faithfully reflects mhv-specific rna synthesis in the intact cell, with regard to both its time of appearance during the course of infection and the products synthesized. the system is efficient and the rna products were iden ... | 1988 | 2842958 |
| reactivities of 4 murine coronavirus antigens with immunized or naturally infected rat sera by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. | four murine coronavirus antigens, sialodacryoadenitis virus (sdav) strain tg, parker's rat coronavirus (pcv) strain 8190, mouse hepatitis virus (mhv) strains s and nuu, were examined for their reactivities to hyperimmunized and naturally infected rat sera by elisa. with the immunized sera, sdav and pcv antigens reacted best with respective homologous sera. mhv antigens reacted with all antisera, anti-sdav, anti-pcv, and anti-mhv-s at approximately the same level, and mhv-s showed a slightly high ... | 1988 | 2843391 |
| protection of mice from a lethal coronavirus infection in the central nervous system by adoptive transfer of virus-specific t cell clones. | the protective effect of a mouse hepatitis virus type-4 (mhv-4)-specific cd8+ cytotoxic t cell clone and a cd4+ helper t cell clone was examined by the adoptive transfer into brains of mice lethally infected with mhv-4. mice survived acute encephalitis if more than 5 x 10(5) cells of either type of the virus-specific t cell clones had been transferred into h-2-matched recipients by 1 day post-infection. although the adoptive transfer of both types of the t cell clones suppressed viral growth and ... | 1991 | 1705943 |
| cloning of the mouse hepatitis virus (mhv) receptor: expression in human and hamster cell lines confers susceptibility to mhv. | the cellular receptor for murine coronavirus mouse hepatitis virus (mhv)-a59 is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) family of glycoproteins in the immunoglobulin superfamily. we isolated a cdna clone (mhvr1) encoding the mhv receptor. the sequence of this clone predicts a 424-amino-acid glycoprotein with four immunoglobulinlike domains, a transmembrane domain, and a short intracytoplasmic tail, mhvr1 is closely related to the murine cea-related clone mmcgm1 (mus musculus carcinoembryo ... | 1991 | 1719235 |
| on the membrane cytopathology of mouse hepatitis virus infection as probed by a semi-permeable translation-inhibiting drug. | previous studies of the membrane fusion process have permitted the characterization of membrane permeability changes concomitant with mhv-induced cytopathology. one indication of membrane permeability in mhv-infected cells is their sensitivity to translation inhibition by the normally impermeable amino-glycoside, hygromycin b (macintyre, g., wong, f. and anderson, r. (1989) j. gen. virol. 70, 763-768). in the present study, we examine the hygromycin b sensitivity of acutely infected mouse fibrob ... | 1990 | 1966463 |
| signal recognition particle-dependent insertion of coronavirus e1, an intracellular membrane glycoprotein. | the membrane insertion of the e1 protein of a coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus a59, was studied in a wheat germ cell-free translation system. e1 is a transmembrane protein spanning the lipid bilayer several times. it is synthesized without a cleavable signal sequence, localized intracellularly, and not transported to the cell surface. it thus represents a model intracellular protein. we found that the synthesis of e1 is specifically and stably blocked by the addition of signal recognition part ... | 1985 | 2985561 |
| difference in sensitivity to interferon among mouse hepatitis viruses with high and low virulence for mice. | mouse hepatitis viruses (mhv) of different virulence for mice were studied with respect to interferon (ifn) sensitivity. the growth of low-virulent mhv-s and intermediately virulent mhv-jhm was significantly suppressed in ifn-treated l cells compared with untreated cells. however, a comparable suppression of the growth of highly virulent mhv-2 was not observed in ifn-treated cells. this differential effect of ifn treatment could also be demonstrated at the level of viral mrna and viral proteins. ... | 1985 | 2998070 |
| virus-induced central positional nystagmus in mice. | geotropic direction-changing nystagmus in lateral body positions was observed in 4-week-old balb/c mice after intracerebral injection with a temperature-sensitive mutant of mouse hepatitis virus. the positional nystagmus was detected already 2 days after infection and it lasted half a year at least. the nystagmic responses of the semicircular canals were also evaluated before and after infection. they were unaltered during the disease, which was clinically manifested by general weakness, ataxia ... | 1985 | 2998148 |
| effect of exogenous mouse interferon on murine fulminant hepatitis induced by mouse hepatitis virus type 2. | we investigated the effect of exogenous mouse alpha- + beta-interferon produced by mouse l cells on the growth of mouse hepatitis virus type 2 (mhv-2) in the liver, the development of liver cell necrosis, and survival in murine fulminant hepatitis induced by mhv-2. murine fulminant hepatitis was induced in 4-week-old male icr mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of mhv-2. mouse interferon (10(3) iu/mouse/day) was intraperitoneally injected every day. exogenous mouse interferon suppressed both the ... | 1986 | 3002736 |

| delayed-type hypersensitivity in mouse hepatitis virus infection in mice. | delayed-type hypersensitivity in mouse hepatitis virus infection was studied with intraperitoneally infected mice. twenty-four hours after eliciting injection with virus-infected cell lysate on day 8 postinfection, specific footpad swelling response was observed with infiltration of mononuclear cells. the response was not enhanced by cyclophosphamide treatment made 2 days before infection. the adoptive transfer of the response from infected mice to h-2 compatible recipients was successful with s ... | 1984 | 6088859 |
| analysis of genomic and intracellular viral rnas of small plaque mutants of mouse hepatitis virus, jhm strain. | the genomic rna and intracellular rna of mouse hepatitis virus, strain jhm (mhv-jhm) and two plaque mutants (1a and 2c), which have been isolated from a persistently infected culture (jhm-cc), have been analyzed by t1-resistant oligonucleotide finger-printing. the genomic rna of the virus population (jhm-cc virus) released from different passage levels of the same persistent infection has also been analyzed. the analysis shows the locations within the genomic and intracellular rnas of more than ... | 1984 | 6093379 |
| in vivo and in vitro models of demyelinating disease x. a schwannoma-l-2 somatic cell hybrid persistently yielding high titres of mouse hepatitis virus strain jhm. | following infection of rn2 rat schwannoma cells with unfiltered jhmv inocula, a cell line with an altered phenotype evolved, which was shown to be a somatic cell hybrid of rn2 and mouse l-2 cells. this cell line, ej, persistently yields jhmv at titres greater than 10(6) pfu/ml and does not show the suppression of virus production at 39.5 degrees c that is characteristic of a persistently infected rn2 line. intracellular viral nucleocapsids are demonstrated. cloning of ej hybrids yields cell line ... | 1984 | 6099665 |
| host genetic control of mouse hepatitis virus type-4 (jhm strain) replication. ii. the gene locus for susceptibility is linked to the svp-2 locus on mouse chromosome 7. | peritoneal macrophages were used to analyze host genetic control of mhv-4 infection in the 14 recombinant-inbred strains between susceptible swr/j and resistant sjl/j progenitor strains. 4 strains were resistant to mhv-4 infection, while the remaining 10 strains were productively infected. based upon the strain distribution pattern of susceptibility the gene locus for mhv-4 susceptibility is linked to the svp-2 locus on the proximal end of mouse chromosome 7. this strain distribution pattern of ... | 1984 | 6101098 |

| prevalence of indigenous viruses in laboratory animal colonies in the united kingdom 1978-1979. | compared with the results of the previous serological survey of 1976-1977, it can be seen that mouse hepatitis virus is still prevalent in the mouse colonies and that corona viruses of rats are also common. the prevalence of sendai virus has increased considerably. however, the prevalence of reo 3 virus appeared to have decreased, although this may be the results of the different test used. | 1980 | 6257967 |
| in vitro macrophage manifestation of cortisone-induced decrease in resistance to mouse hepatitis virus. | genetically resistant g3h mice routinely yielded macrophages that were resistant when grown in 90% horse serum. these mice also routinely yielded macrophages that were susceptible to the same virus, mhv (pri), in vitro after the mice had been treated with three intraperitoneal doses, of hydrocortisone. dexamethasone and prednisolone when similarly administered also increased the susceptibility of c3h macrophages taken from the treated animal, but progesterone and testosterone did not. in additio ... | 1981 | 6265581 |
| membrane integration and intracellular transport of the coronavirus glycoprotein e1, a class iii membrane glycoprotein. | the e1-glycoprotein (mr = 26,014; 228 amino acids) of mouse hepatitis virus a59 is a class iii membrane glycoprotein which has been used in this study as a model system in the study of membrane integration and protein transport. the protein lacks an nh2-terminal cleavable signal sequence and spans the viral membrane three times. hydrophobic domains i and iii could serve as signal sequences for cotranslational membrane integration. domain i alone was sufficient to translocate the hydrophilic nh2 ... | 1988 | 2844793 |
| pathogenicity of mouse hepatitis virus for preimplantation mouse embryos. | mouse embryos which were hatched from the zona pellucida in vitro in the presence of mouse hepatitis virus (mhv) or outgrown on coverslips and then exposed to mhv were shown by immunohistochemical staining to have virally infected trophoblast cells. zona-intact embryos incubated with mhv for 48 h (2-cell embryos) or 1.5 h (blastocysts) were resistant to infection. morulae and early blastocysts collected from donor mice experimentally infected with mhv were not infected, but the medium in which t ... | 1985 | 2982018 |
| viral protein synthesis in mouse hepatitis virus strain a59-infected cells: effect of tunicamycin. | we identified eight protein species in virions of mouse hepatitis virus strain a59. based on their sizes, prosthetic groups, and locations in virions, these proteins were designated gp180/e2, gp90/e2, pp54/n, gp26.5/e1, gp25.5/e1, p24/e1, p22/x, and p14.5/y. the positions of the last two proteins in virions are not known. host protein synthesis in sac(-) cells infected with mouse hepatitis virus strain a59 was inhibited, and the following novel proteins appeared: gp150, gp90, p54, gp26.5, gp25.5 ... | 1981 | 6275093 |
