| further experiments on the action of antithymocyte serum in experimental junín virus infection. | rabbit anti-mouse thymocyte serum (ats) administrated as late as 7 days after infection suppressed host cell-mediated responsiveness to intracerebrally injected junín virus, thereby diminishing the morbility and mortality of this infection. it did not affect either the humoral antibody response or the virus titer in brain. this findings suggest that: a) in mouse brain cells, junín virus infection is basically non-cytopathic: b) cell-mediated immunity is responsible for morbility and mortality an ... | 1976 | 7942 |
| studies of cell-mediated immunity to junín virus. | junín virus is uniformly lethal in newborn mice, but fails to kill adult animals. but there is direct evidence that in older mice the immunological mechanism occurs when certain conditions are fulfilled. the present results showed that in junín virus infection of mice, the development of the immunological mechanism occurs irrespectively of age. the induction of a regular cell-mediated immunity appears to be intimately related to multiple injections of the virus. these results were confirmed by t ... | 1978 | 25006 |

| toward a vaccine against argentine hemorrhagic fever. | a vaccine against argentine hemorrhagic fever, the "mal de los rastrojos" of the pampas, has been a dream of physicians and scientists involved with the disease since its recognition in the 1950s. several killed and live immunogens have been produced and tested in pursuit of this goal, none of which has proved suitable for widespread human use. recently, a new live-attenuated junin virus vaccine, candid #1, was developed through a cooperative international effort. testing conducted to date indic ... | 1991 | 1654168 |
| molecular organization of junin virus s rna: complete nucleotide sequence, relationship with other members of the arenaviridae and unusual secondary structures. | in this study, overlapping cdna clones covering the entire s rna molecule of junin virus, an arenavirus that causes argentine haemorrhagic fever, were generated. the complete sequence of this 3400 nucleotide rna was determined using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. the nucleocapsid protein (n) and the glycoprotein precursor (gpc) genes were identified as two non-overlapping open reading frames of opposite polarity, encoding primary translation products of 564 and 481 amino acids, ... | 1991 | 1654373 |
| experimental infection of suckling mice with a host range mutant of junin virus. | experimental infection of three mouse strains with a non-pathogenic mutant of junin virus named cl67 was compared with respect to the parental xjcl3 strain. after intracerebral (ic) or intraperitoneal inoculation, xjcl3 was highly virulent for 2 day-old c3h/hej, of1, and balb/cj mouse strains, whereas its derivative cl67 was attenuated. survival of the cl67-infected mouse was associated with a restricted replication at the site of inoculation which would impair spread of virus. thus, the reduced ... | 1991 | 1658215 |
| [lysosomotropic compounds inhibiting the multiplication of junin virus]. | a number of lysosomotropic compounds of diverse chemical structure, ammonium chloride, procaine and chlorpheniramine, were found to inhibit the infection of vero cells by junín virus. viral replication was almost totally inhibited by 15 mm ammonium chloride, when added either before or within the first hour of infection and a significant inhibition (97.8%) was observed when it was added 8 hours after infection. these results agree with a model which postulates that arenavirus entry occurs by rec ... | 1991 | 1667699 |
| rapid vascular clearance of two strains of junin virus in calomys musculinus: selective macrophage clearance. | clearance of junin (jun) virus strains with different virulence for calomys musculinus (cm) was followed using the candid #1 virulent and cbafha 5069 attenuated strains. in addition, virulent virus albino mice (am) were included as control host and venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee-vi) virus as control virus. the virus inoculum (vo) and the blood samples (vt) obtained at different times post-inoculation (p.i.) were titrated on vero cells and the cleared plaque forming-units (pfu) were calculat ... | 1991 | 1681712 |

| method for improving accuracy of virus titration: standardization of plaque assay for junin virus. | titrating infective virus is one of the most important and common techniques in virology. however, after many years of widespread use, the parameters governing the accuracy of titration values are still not well understood. it was found that under conditions currently used for virus titration, only a small percentage of virus in the inoculum is adsorbed onto the cells and thereby detected in the titration assay. the objective of our work was to establish the conditions for a plaque assay which c ... | 1990 | 1707890 |
| junin virus-induced non-specific suppressor cells interact with unrelated antigen-specific suppressor cells. | junin virus (jv) infection of adult (resistant) balb/c mice induces antigen non-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth) suppressor t cells, termed tsv, bearing the thy-1+, ly-1+2- phenotype. these cells may be related to survival to infection since dth reaction is associated with lethal meningoencephalitis. employing several xenogeneic red blood cell (rbc) sensitization schedules to induce different cell subpopulations, we have attempted to establish the target of jv-induced suppressor cell ... | 1991 | 1718851 |
| a triple staining procedure to evaluate phagocytic role of differentiated astrocytes. | to determine whether phagocytic activity is affected by a viral infection known to induce astrocyte differentiation, a triple procedure (pap labeling for gfap, pas reaction for added baker's yeast cells and hematoxylin for nuclear staining of the whole monolayer) was applied to junin virus-inoculated cultures, as well as matched controls. the three-step staining simplified yeast cell count for subsequent statistical analysis, which discerned preferential uptake by differentiated rather than imma ... | 1991 | 1724055 |
| microgeographic distribution of allele frequencies in populations of calomys laucha (rodentia, cricetidae). | the microgeographic differentiation of allelic frequencies was analysed in two population samples of calomys laucha, collected in a grid set in cultivated fields at laguna larga (córdoba province, argentina). one of the samples (n = 79) was obtained in may (autumn), when the population density is at a maximum, and the other (n = 85) in november (spring), at the onset of reproductive activity. fst values for the november sample show significant differences between the six groups over which the sa ... | 1991 | 1880049 |

| contrasuppressor cells induced by junin virus. | intracerebral inoculation of junin virus (jv) in all susceptible mouse models available induces a lethal meningoencephalitis compatible with a delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth) immune response. in contrast, adult balb/c mice prove resistant to infection and no dth response is seen. jv inoculation in adult balb/c mice induces dth suppression to unrelated antigens such as sheep red blood cells. (srbc). this suppression is mediated by jv-induced t cells (tsv), which are operative from 1 to 24 day ... | 1990 | 1970806 |
| junin virus replication in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with argentine haemorrhagic fever. | to study the relationship of junin virus (jv) to populations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) from patients with argentine haemorrhagic fever (ahf), blood samples were obtained during the acute period of disease and cultured as total, adherent, and non-adherent cell populations. jv was sequentially sought in these cell populations by using an infectious centre (ic) assay, whereas free jv in the supernatants was evaluated by plaque formation. ic were obtained in cultures of total pbmc ... | 1990 | 1975726 |
