| interferon-producing capacity of human tonsil cells and properties of interferon produced by these cells. | tonsils excised from human beings for chronic tonsillitis have been shown to be an accessible and sufficiently rich source of human lymphocytes. tonsil cells produced interferon as intensively as blood leukocytes and the properties of this interferon were similar to those of leukocyte interferon. the optimal conditions for interferon production by tonsil cells were established. | 1976 | 5865 |
| electron microscopy of virus particles in ultrathin frozen sections. | a procedure with the use of polyethylene glycol (peg) 600 to support biological materials for ultracryotomy was developed. developing and mature virions were demonstrated by electron microscopy in negatively stained frozen sections of vaccinia virus-infected human diploid cells and of herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 infected primary rabbit kidney cells. approximate localisation of the virus particles in the cells was possible. | 1976 | 5872 |
| some biological and physical properties of molluscum contagiosum virus propagated in cell culture. | molluscum contagiosum virus propagated in fl cells of human amnion origin has a one-step growth cycle time of 12 to 14 h. the appearance and exponential increase of intracellular virus preceded the release of extracellular virus by approximately 2 h. demonstration of comparable titers of extracellular and intracellular virus at the end of the replication cycle indicated that a substantial amount of virus remained associated with cells exhibiting cytopathogenic changes. mean buoyant density value ... | 1976 | 8651 |
| properties of dna ligase from uninfected and virus-infected hela cells. | hela cells contain a high m.w. form of dna ligase which can be completely converted to a low m.w. form. stokes radius, frictional ratio, sedimentation coefficient, molecular weight, ph dependence, and heat inactivation rate of the two forms have been studied. the major properties of the two forms of dna ligase in hela cells (in particular molecular weights and ph dependence) resemble those of the "dimer" and "monomer" structures described in cultured human cells (pedrali, g., spadari, s., ciarro ... | 1976 | 9621 |
| interference stimulated by tick-borne encephalitis virus: influence of divalent cations. | the effects of divalent cations (barium, cobalt, calcium, copper, magnesium, zinc and iron) on the interference of tick-borne encephalitis (te) virus with vaccinia virus in detroit-6 cell cultures were investigated. an increase in interference was shown in the presence of cobalt, zinc, copper, and magnesium. barium and iron displayed a marked inhibitory action. but an increase in interference was not parallel with an increased production of interferon. | 1976 | 9799 |
| molluscum contagiosum -- a defective poxvirus? | purified preparations of molluscum contagiosum virus contain a dna-dependent rna polymerase (ec 2.7.7.6) with similar but not identical properties to those of the enzyme found in vaccinia virions. the ultraviolet inactivation kinetics of the rna polymerase from both viruses were similar, displaying fast and slow components. ultraviolet irradiation destroyed the interfering capacities of molluscum and inactivated vaccinia virions, and the interferon-inducing capacity of molluscum virus slowly and ... | 1976 | 11275 |
| computer evaluation of antiviral activities of some thiosemicarbazones in experiments in vivo. | a new mathematical method based on 3-, 4- or 6-point parallel-line assays was applied for working out a computer programme used to evaluate the activity of some new isatin-beta-thiosemicarbazone derivatives against vaccinia virus, studied in vivo. | 1976 | 11668 |

| stability in drinking and surface water of nine virus species from different genera (author's transl). | the stability of nine viruses, aujeszky, sindbis, vesicular stomatitis, newcastle disease, vaccinia, fmd, hcc, reo and teschen virus in drinking and surface water was investigated comparatively at temperatures of 9 and 15 degrees c as well as the influence of water factors like seasonal difference in temperature, ph value, hardness and sort of water. the results can be summarized as follows: 1. at temperatures of 9 to 15 degrees c the majority of the viruses remained stabil in natural water for ... | 1977 | 14460 |
| 6-mfa, an antiviral agent from aspergillus ochraceus atcc 28706: influence of body weight and mineral oil administration of the antiviral activity in mice. | sera obtained from mice treated with 6-mfa, an antiviral agent from aspergillus ochraceus atcc 28706 showing high interferon activity, could be transferred to healthy animals to make them resistant to semliki forest virus (sfv) infection. body weight of mice directly influenced, within limits, the proportion of treated mice surviving challenge virus infection as well as interferon production. mineral oil (liquid paraffin, b. p.) administered prior to 6-mfa increased both the level of interferon ... | 1977 | 15439 |
| cellular proteases increased in paramyxovirus (sendai virus) carrier cells possibly responsible for enhanced formation of cowpox virus-specific cell surface antigen. | cowpox virus (cpv) growth and its s-ag (cell surface antigen) formation in hvj (sendai virus) carrier cells pre-treated with actinomycin d or puromycin were not affected as much as those in parent cells. these suggest the different cellular functions of carrier cells. the activity of carrier cell extracts causing a characteristic degradation of cpv reacted with them in vitro disappeared after the pre-incubation of extracts with hemoglobin or casein. measurements of cellular protease activities ... | 1977 | 15532 |
| a dna nicking-closing enzyme encapsidated in vaccinia virus: partial purification and properties. | vaccinia virus cores contain an activity which is able to relax both left-and right-handed superhelical dna. this virus-specific nicking closing enzyme has been highly purified and differs from the corresponding host enzyme in salt optimum, in sedimentation coefficient, and in polypeptide composition as determined on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels. the enzyme is probably newly synthesized after the cessation of host protein synthesis which follows virus infection. the most highly pur ... | 1977 | 17115 |
| purification of vaccinia virus by zonal centrifugation and analysis of viral protein composition. | vaccinia virus propagated in rotated cultures of rk13 cells was purified by sucrose density gradient zonal centrifugation. the purified virus was dissociated with sodium dodecyl sulfate end its protein composition analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the protein composition of the virion envelope, isolated by the non-ionic detergent nonidet p-40, was also determined. | 1977 | 17277 |
| utilization of the mva-immunization schedule from the view point of the public health service. | the world-wide smallpox eradication program sponsored by the who has been successful. furthermore the legislation regarding smallpox vaccination in the federal republic of germany has been given a new form. the place of the previous mass-vaccination has been taken by vaccination of individuals. under this aspect safe procedures for vaccination are required. any vaccination used by public health service has to fulfill the following criteria: high protection against the disease without adverse sid ... | 1977 | 17567 |
| an analysis of factors influencing the isolation rate of herpes simplex virus. | attempts were made to improve the rate of isolation of herpes simplex virus (hsv) from clinical specimens by minimizing loss of virus infectivity during transportation and employing the most sensitive cells for isolation. basical analyses using standard strains of type 1 and type 2 hsv indicated that virus titer decrease was marked even at low temperatures in environments free of proteinous stabilizer such as normal serum or tissue extract, negating the generally held concept that hsv is stable ... | 1977 | 17816 |
| antiviral effect of tebrofen. | tebrofen inhibited the replication of western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) virus in multicycle experiments in chick embryo cell cell cultures. the compound did not inhibit the replication of vaccinia and newcastle disease viruses. | 1977 | 18926 |
| demonstration of vaccinia virus antigen in brains of postvaccinal encephalitis cases. | five lethal cases of postovaccinal encephalitis (pve) were examined in attempts to detect the viral antigen by the fluorescent antibody techniques and to isolate the infectious vaccinia virus. histologically, the brain tissues were characterized by meningoencephalitis, with perivascular infiltrations and inflammatous reactions mainly in leptomininx, chroid plexus and ependyma. by direct immunofluorescence staining, vaccinia virus antigen was found in the brain specimens of one case, but not in t ... | 1977 | 21318 |
| pathogenicity of a vaccine strain of vaccina virus in rabbits administered by intravenous route. | the pathogenicity of the lister (elstree) strain, a vaccinia virus, in rabbits after intravenous injection was studied by histopathological and immunofluorescent methods. inoculation of 1 x 10(7) pfu (pock-forming unit) virus into weanling and young adult rabbits caused severe emaciation and high mortality within 2 weeks. pathological findings were characterized by vesicular lesions along muco-cutaneous junction areas of the eyes, nose and mouth and by inflammatory changes in the brain, mainly i ... | 1977 | 24130 |

| comparative studies on poxvirus strains isolated from camels. | five poxvirus strains isolated from camels in egypt, iran and the u.s.s.r. were investigated. the morphology and size of the negatively stained virions of the investigated strains were identical. the strains produced minute white pock lesions localized mainly on the infected area of the chorioallantoic membrane, without generalization of lesions or death of embryos. the ceiling temperature and the haemagglutinating activity of the different strains were different. all the strains were apathogeni ... | 1978 | 35942 |
| antiviral activity of certain isatinisothiosemicarbazones against mengo and vaccinia virus infections in mice. | among eleven isatinisothiosemicarbazones (iits) examined only 1-ethylisatin-s-n-butylisothiosemicarbazone (zimet 189/69) proved to be significantly effective against lethal mengo and neurovaccinia virus-induced encephalitis in mice when administered subcuaneously (s.c.) in doses of 1 mmole/kg body weight per day. with peroral (p.o.) administration all the drugs failed to prevent mortality in mengo virus-infected mice. against this virus zimet 189/69 was effective over a concentration range from ... | 1979 | 35958 |
| antiviral activity of benzothiazole and benzothiazolinethione derivatives in cell cultures. | the virus inhibitory activity of benzothiazole, benzothiazolinethione and naphthothiazole derivatives was tested with vaccinia virus, newcastle disease virus (ndv) and western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) virus in the agar-diffusion plaque-inhibition test. among 58 compounds examined, 5 showed medium activity and selectivity with vaccinia virus. the highest selective effect was found with 3-(2-ethylthio-6-benzothiazolylaminomethyl)-2-benzothiazolinethione. a much lower inhibitory effect was ob ... | 1979 | 41432 |
| [participation of vaccinia virus in the pathogenesis of different clinical forms of postvaccinal complications. i. frequency of vaccinia virus detection in the vaccinted who have usual and complicated reactions to vaccination]. | the virological examination of 1365 samples taken from 469 children vaccinated against smallpox revealed considerable differences in the frequency and the time of vaccinia virus detection in different clinical forms of postvaccinal pathology as compared with uncomplicated vaccinal process. during the postvaccinal period taking its normal course vaccinia virus was isolated from 7.3% of children only from the pharynx till day 8 following vaccination. in generalized and creeping vaccinia the virus ... | 1979 | 42243 |
| variola virus strains of 1960--1975: the range of intraspecies variability and relationship between properties and geographic origin. | a comparative study of 61 variola virus strains recovered from patients in various geographic regions of the world revealed significant intraspecies variability in some biological properties, established the range of this variability and demonstrated the existence of strains with atypical properties. there was a certain correlation between some laboratory markers of variola virus and the degree of its pathogenicity for man. the prevalence of more virulent and thermoresistant strains in the hindu ... | 1979 | 42294 |
| antiviral effect of 3-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino]-acetophenone-[4,5-diphenyl-oxyazolyl-(2)]hydrazone (imet 98/69) in mice. | the potential in vivo antiviral activity of 3-[bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino]-acetophenone-[4,5-diphenyl-oxazolyl-(2)]-hydrazone (imet 98/69) was evaluated on model infections in mice. animals treated subcutaneously (s.c.) with 1 mmole of the drug per kg body weight once daily for five days were significantly protected against a lethal infection with cardioviruses, semliki forest virus and vaccinia virus. in influenza a and b virus models no antiviral activity was observed either after s.c. or oral ... | 1979 | 44666 |

| [cellular immunity in poxvirus infections. demonstration, significance and cellular cross reactivity with brain matter]. | its proof, significance, and the cellular cross reactivity to basic encephalitogenic protein of vaccinia-stimulated t-cells. vaccination against smallpox induces both, a cellular allergy and immunity, and the production of humoral antibodies. of greater importance for the defense of the organism against infections by orthopox viruses is the cellular immunity. new methods for the proof of cellular immunity and an in vitro-technique for its examination by challange with variola vera virus are desc ... | 1976 | 57915 |
| cell-mediated cytotoxicity against sendai-virus-infected cells. | after injection of sendai virus, a parainfluenza virus type i, mice generate cytotoxic lymphocytes which lyse specifically sendai-virus-infected target cells in vitro. their action is not inhibited by specific antibody in vitro. killer cell activity appears 4 days after infection, reaches a maximum on the 7th day and disappears on the 14th to 16th day. decrease of cytotoxic cell activity is correlated with an increase of haemagglutinating antibodies. the cytotoxic effector cell could be characte ... | 1976 | 60844 |
| the vaccinia virus haemagglutinin: enzyme sensitivity and some physiocochemical properties. | purified vaccina virus haemagglutinin (vha) was found to be sensitive to trypsin both with regard to haemagglutinating capacity and antigenic property. phospholipase c and lipase had no effect on the haemagglutination (ha). both the ha and the antigenic property thus depend on the integrity of the protein part. the loss of ha after treatment with trypsin may be due to breakdown of an essential protein or to secondary rearrangement of the whole structure, including the lipid part. cells infected ... | 1976 | 60873 |
| early diagnosis of virus-caused vesicular rashes by immunofluorescence on skin biopsies. ii. poxvirus (vaccinia). | immunofluorescence (if) was used to demonstrate vaccinia virus antigen in frozen sections of skin biopsies from the site of revaccination in 42 individuals. the immunoglobulin (ig) of a rabbit anti-vaccinia serum and the ig of the pre-immune serum conjugated with fluorescein-isothiocyanate (fitc) was employed. 11/13 biopsies taken 1 day after vaccination were positive in the if test as were 13/13 biopsies taken 2 days and 14/16 biopsies taken 3 days after vaccination. even minute quantities of v ... | 1976 | 61622 |
| identification of antigens within the so-called vaccinia l-s complex by means of quantitative immunoelectrophoresis. | the so-called l-s antigen complex of vaccinia virus antigens was studied using gel diffusion and various immunoelectrophoresis methods. the low resolution power of the gel diffusion method and the inconsistency of the results obtained rendered this method unsuitable for identification of individual antigens and for comparative studies. the sensitivity and simplicity of counter current electrophoresis showed the superiority of this method for rapid diagnosis of pox-virus infections. simple rocket ... | 1976 | 61705 |
| a method for serological differentation of closely related poxviruses. | a two-step gel precipitation reaction with antiserum to vaccinia virus, based on sequential addition of two test viruses was elaborated for differentiation of closely related orthopoxviruses. the appearance of an additional precipitation line indicated differences in the antigenic structure of the viruses compared. differences in the antigenic structure of vaccinia, variola and monkey pox viruses as well as the antigenic identity with cow pox virus of poxviruses isolated from carnivora, elephant ... | 1976 | 61718 |

| h-2 restriction of virus-specific cytotoxicity across the h-2 barrier. separate effector t-cell specificities are associated with self-h-2 and with the tolerated allogeneic h-2 in chimeras. | during infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis or vaccinia virus, f1 irradiation chimeras reconstituted with bone marrow cells from or both parents generate cytotoxic t cells which can lyse targets across the h-2 barrier. however, activity of chimera t cells is h-2 restricted as shown by cold target competition experiments and selective restimulation of a secondary response in vitro; t cells of h-2k specificity which lyse tolerated infected h-2d target cells do not lyse infected h-2k or unre ... | 1976 | 62016 |
| inhibition of vaccinia virus replication in skin of tuberculin-sensitized animals challenged with ppd. | induction of a celayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in tuberculin-sensitized animals by tuberculin purified protein derivative (ppd) at the site of dermal vaccinia virus (vv) infection markedly accelerated elimination of vv and led to clinical recovery. viral titers were depressed by over 99.9% in the skin of animals given ppd as compared to animals given phosphate-buffered saline or nonspecific irritants. low concentrations of acid labile interferon were found in the skin of uninfected tuberc ... | 1976 | 62789 |
| shared determinants between virus-infected and trinitrophenyl-conjugated h-2-identical target cells detected in cell-mediated lympholysis. | infection of h-2-identical mice with either lymphocytic choriomeningitis (lcm) virus, vaccinia virus, or paramyxo (sendai) virus resulted in the generation of specifically sensitized cytotoxic t lymphocytes (ctl). ctl generated in vitro against 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (tnp)-conjugated syngeneic stimulator cells were specifically cytotoxic for tnp-conjugated h-2k (d) region identical targets. both lcm and vaccinia-induced ctl, however, were found to be strongly cytotoxic towards tnp-conjugated, h-2k ... | 1976 | 63379 |
| [possibilities for the treatment of varicella-herpes zoster infections in juvenile leukemia]. | chicken pox and herpes zoster represent afraid complications in patients with malignant diseases which may take a noxious course. during the sequence of two chicken pox epidemias in 1973 in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemias, the prevention and therapeutic possibilities were checked again. chicken pox or herpes zoster convalescent sera being compatible for blood groups and zoster-immunoglobulin were not available. at the time of the epidemia the first reports on the effect of cytarabin ... | 1976 | 64406 |

| induction of virus-specific modifications recognized by cytotoxic t cells is not altered by prior substitution of target cells with trinitrophenol. | cytotoxic thymus-derived lymphocytes generated after interaction with trinitrophenyl (tnp)-substituted or virus-infected cells only lyse h-2 compatible target cells modified with the component used to immunize (tnp or virus). prior saturation of tnp-reactive sites inhibits neither the infectivity of influenza a viruses, nor the capacity of infected cells to develop antigenic changes recognized by influenza-immune t cells. the two antigens are distinct entities on the cell membrane and do not obv ... | 1977 | 69008 |
| in vitro immune responsiveness to vaccinea virus and hla. | because several lines of evidence suggest that hla products might have an important function in the immune response to infectious agents, we studied the possible relation between immune response to vaccinia virus and hla phenotype in 79 soldiers who received a primary vaccination. a low in vitro response to vaccinia virus was associated with hla-cw3 both in 49 subjects tested three to four weeks after vaccination (p less than 0.001) and in the remaining 30 subjects tested five to 11 weeks after ... | 1977 | 70749 |
| laboratory characteristics of poxviruses isolated from captive elephants in germany. | proxviruses isolated from captive elephants in germany have been characterized. although related to vaccinia and even more closely to cowpox virus, the separate identity of elephantpox virus was established by both biological and serological methods. elephantpox virus produces a-type inclusions in infected cells, as did cowpox, but had a lower ceiling temperature, was more heat resistant and affected rabbits differently. cross neutralization tests on absorbed sera indicated that elephantpox, cow ... | 1977 | 72786 |
| serological relatedness of monkeypox, variola, and vaccinia viruses. | closely related human and monkey orthopoxviruses were differentiated by serologic techniques. antiviral sera were tested by immunodiffusion for reactivity against six different viral antigens prepared from either infected cell cultures or infected chorioallantoic membranes (cams) of embryonated eggs. portions of each antiserum were separately absorbed with heterologous antigens from infected cams to remove common reactivity. the absorbed sera formed immunodiffusion precipitates with both types o ... | 1977 | 75947 |
| t-cell populations specifically depleted of alloreactive potential cannot be induced to lyse h-2-different virus-infected target cells. | mouse lymphocyte populations of one parental h-2 type (a) were specificially depleted of alloreactive potential by filtration through irradiated a x b f1 recipients, and thoracic duct cells were then stimulated with virus in an a x b f1 environment. experiments using t cells that had previously been exposed to influenza virus in the context of a established that cross-priming for recognition of viral components expressed on h-2-different (b) target cells does not occur. furthermore, immunologica ... | 1978 | 78955 |

| [a contribution to the stabilisation of the mva-vaccine (author's transl)]. | the titre of the mva-vaccine remains constant at -20 degrees c with human serum albumin, sorbitol, haemaccel, rheomacrodex and cysteine within 8 month. at -20 degrees c the stability of the mva-virus is equivalent to the vaccinia-virus, stabilized by peptone and sorbitol. storing the mva-virus at +4 degrees c, +20 degrees c for 8 month or at 27 degrees c for 4 weeks, 1% human serum albumin and 5% sorbitol preserves the virustitre best, but the stability of vaccinia-virus with 5% peptone and 5% s ... | 1979 | 94967 |
| cytotoxic t-cell responses in mice infected with influenza and vaccinia viruses vary in magnitude with h-2 genotype. | secondary effector t-cell populations generated by cross-priming with heterologous influenza a viruses operate only in h-2k or h-2d compatible situations, when assayed on sv40-transformed target cells infected with a range of influenza a viruses. the h2-kb allele is associated with a total failure in the generation of influenza-immune cytotoxic t cells, though this is not seen for the primary response to vaccinia virus. in both influenza and vaccinia development of effector t cells operating at ... | 1978 | 100569 |
| in irradiation chimeras, k or d regions of the chimeric host, not of the donor lymphocytes, determine immune responsiveness of antiviral cytotoxic t cells. | the h-2 haplotype of the chimeric host determines the responder phenotype of maturing t cells. spleen cells of chimeric mice formed when (k(k) nonresponder to d(b) x k(b) responder to d(b) plus vaccinia)f(1) bone marrow cells were used to reconstitute k(b)d(b) (c57bl/6 d(b) responder) irradiated recipients generated high levels of d(b) plus vaccinia virus-specific cytotoxic t cells. the same stem cells used to reconstitute k(k)d(b) (b10.a (2r) d(b) nonresponder) irradiated recipients resulted in ... | 1978 | 100570 |

| enhancement of resistance to murine osteogenic sarcoma in vivo by an extract of brucella abortus (bru-pel): association with activation of reticuloendothelial system macrophages. | the administration of an aqueous-ether extracted residue of brucella abortus (bru-pel) inhibits development of transplanted osteogenic sarcomas in mice as evidenced by a decrease in mortality. at least one mechanism through which bru-pel modulates host resistance is activation of macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. peritoneal macrophages harvested from mice receiving bru-pel were cytotoxic for osteogenic sarcoma cells in vitro, limited the replication of vaccinia virus in cell culture ... | 1979 | 106004 |
| vaccinia virus replication. i. requirement for the host-cell nucleus. | using cytochalasin b-induced enucleation techniques, we examined the ability of vaccinia virus to replicate in the absence of the host-cell nucleus in several mammalian cell lines. it was found that virus-infected enucleated cells (cytoplasts) prepared from bsc-40, cvc, and l cells were incapable of producing infectious progeny virus. the nature of this apparent nuclear involvement was studied in detail in bsc-40 cells. modulations designed to maximize cytoplast integrity and longevity, such as ... | 1979 | 107327 |

| reciprocal stimulation of negatively selected high-responder and low-responder t cells in virus-infected recipients. | after depletion of alloreactive potential, immunologically naive t cells from c57bl/6j (kb-db) mice (b6) can be induced to respond to vaccinia virus in the context of both h-2kk and h-2db when stimulated in b10.a(4r) (kk-db) recipients. however, negatively selected b10.a(2r) (kk-db) t cells respond to h-2db-vaccinia virus but not to h-2kb-vaccinia virus when primed in an irradiated b6 environment. the b6 mouse strain is a high responder to vaccinia virus associated with h-2db, whereas the b10.a( ... | 1979 | 115003 |
| patterns of virus-immune t-cell responsiveness. comparison of (h-2k x h-2b) leads to h-2b radiation chimeras and negatively selected h-2b lymphocytes. | negatively selected h-2k(b)d(b) tdl can be induced to respond strongly to vaccinia virus presented in the context of both h-2k(k) and h-2d(b) when stimulated in irradiated h-2k(k)d(b) recipients. addition of excess (h- 2k(k)d(b) x h-2k(b)d(b))f1 tdl, which are low responders to h-2d(b)-vaccinia virus, does not obviously suppress the reactivity pattern of the h-2k(b)d(b) t cells. however, lymphocytes from chimeras made by reconstituting h- 2k(b)d(b) mice with (h-2k(k)d(k) x h-2k(b)d(b))f(l) bone ... | 1979 | 115959 |

| [detection and localization of a ribonuclease activity associated with vaccinia virus]. | a ribonuclease associated with vaccinia virus can be detected when reduced concentrations of nucleotides are used for an in vitro rna synthesis assay. the non-viral origin of this ribonuclease may be inferred from its external location and from its variable activity on different purified virus stocks. the detection of this ribonuclease activity on purified virus grown without foetal calf serum may suggest that this enzyme is of cellular origin. | 1979 | 120781 |
| vaccinia virus infection of hela cells. i. synthesis of vaccinia dna in host cell nuclei. | the replication of vaccinia virus is thought to take place exclusively in the cytoplasm of host cells. however, using dna-dna hybridization techniques, it can be shown that a significant fraction of the synthesis of vaccinia dna takes place in the nucleus as well as the cytoplasm. the (3h) thymiding pulse-labeled vaccinia dna synthesized in the nucleus reaches a maximum at about 3 h after infection, corresponding to the time of maximal dna synthesis in infected cells. at this time host dna synth ... | 1975 | 123010 |

| control of thymidine kinase synthesis in ihd vaccinia virus-infected thymidine kinase-deficient lm cells. | the synthesis of vaccinia virus-induced thymidine kinase is normally arrested several hours after infection. in thymidine kinase-deficient lm cells infected with ihd strain of vaccinia virus, arrest occurs whether or not viral dna synthesis is inhibited. with virus inactivated by uv irradiation, enzyme synthesis takes place, but arrest is abolished. it is suggested that an early viral genetic function is responsible for the cessation of thymidine kinase synthesis. | 1975 | 124355 |

| the effect of ethyl alcohol and beta-propiolactone inactivated vaccinia virus on the development of skin immunity and the production of hemagglutination inhibiting antibodies in guinea pigs, rabbits and monkeys. | the efficacy of hemagglutinin containing preparations of vaccinia virus in eliciting skin immunity and hemagglutination inhibiting antibodies has been studied in guinea pigs, rabbits and monkeys. the preparations, grown on chorioallantoic membranes from chick embryos, have been tested both in the form of live vaccine and after inactivation with ethyl alcohol and beta-propiolactone. statistical analysis of the results, comprising data from 200 guinea pigs, 80 rabbits and 100 monkeys, shows that t ... | 1975 | 127456 |
| [fluorescent antibody method in the study of an antiviral agent: 5-sulfamido--isatin-thiosemicarbazone]. | direct immunofluorescence supplied evidence of the antiviral action of a new synthetic derivative (5-sulfamido-itsc) against vaccina virus in hela cell cultures. the antiviral potential of the new derivative is expressed by a 10-18 delay in the appearance of the viral antigen and by the quantitative reduction of synthesis. administered in a single dose of 40 um/ml, after infection of the hela cells, 5-sulfamido-itsc does not arrest the infection and bring about elimination of the virus from the ... | 1975 | 128095 |
| the effect of canaline on some events in vaccinia virus replication. | canaline, a pyridoxal phosphate antagonist, is shown to inhibit two distinct events in the replication of vaccinia virus in hela cells. initial events proceed in the presence of the inhibitor leading to the formation of dna-containing, cytoplasmic inclusions. however, further dna synthesis is required for the subsequent production of infectious progeny following the reversal of canaline inhibition by pyridoxal phosphate. inhibition of a separate, maturation event is shown by the delayed addition ... | 1976 | 128617 |
