use of corticosteroids to isolate ibr virus from cattle in cyprus after respiratory disease and ataxia.an outbreak of ataxia, blindness, respiratory disease and kerato-conjunctivitis occurred in october 1972 in a beef feedlot in cyprus. fifteen animals died and 10 that were severely ataxic were slaughtered; many animals became blind. there was no opportunity to isolate virus when the disease was active but in march and october 1973 infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus was isolated from cattle after they had been treated corticosteroids to stimulate virus excretion. it is probable that ...197549119
the influence of complement on the neutralization of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by globulins derived from early and late bovine antisera.calves were inoculated at four week intervals with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv). sera were obtained at eight days (early sample) and 21 days (late sample) after each inoculation. kinetic neutralization was carried out with 7s and 19s globulins derived from these sera, both in the presence and in the absence of guinea pig complement (c). in all instances the 19s neutralizing antibody (ab) was dependent on c for neutralization of ibvr. however, c dependency was not observed with ...197551677
defense mechanisms against bovine herpesvirus: relationship of virus-host cell events to susceptibility to antibody-complement cell lysis.the interaction of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and susceptible host cells was examined to determine whether an infected cell could be destroyed by humoral immune mechanisms before or after the transmission of virus to susceptible adjacent cells. viral antigens were detectable on cell membranes at 6 h postinfection, but cells were not susceptible to antibody-complement lysis until 10 h postinfection. intracellular infectious virus was also detectable at 10 h postinfection, and transmi ...197553206
in vitro transmission and propagation of the bovine leukemia virus in monolayer cell cultures.this study demonstrates that the bovine leukemia virus (blv) can infect in vitro cells of human, simian, bovine, canine, caprine, ovine, and bat origin. cultures of these cells, cocultivated with blv-infected cells or inoculated with cell-free blv preparations, continuoously showed the presence of cells with the internal blv antigen as well as blv-induced syncytia. virus replication was abundant and increased with passage in bat lung cells and was moderate but constant in fetal canine thymus cel ...197661801
[demonstration of the infectious rhinotracheitis-pustular vuluovaginitis virus (ibr-ipv) in the placenta and aborted fetuses of cows].a well expressed correlation was found to exist between the immunofluorescence and the histologic methods in the demonstration of ibr-ipv infection of fetuses and placentae in 75 cases of spontaneous undiagnosed abortions. if those that were positive by the immunofluorescence method were 100 per cent as many as 87 per cent of them showed coincidence with the results obtained by the histologic method. the isolation of the virus of ibr-ipv coincided in 44 per cent of the cases only. clearest speci ...197771782
contamination of primary embryonic bovine kidney cell cultures with parainfluenza type 2 simian virus 5 and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus.two different viruses were isolated from bovine embryonic cell cultures after two subcultures from the primary cells. one virus was identified as parainfluenza type 2 simian virus 5 (sv-5), and the other was identified as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. six months later, stock cultures of pig kidney (pk-15) cells were found to be contaminated with sv-5 virus. we believe that the source of the sv-5 virus in the bovine cells was a cross-contamination from monkey kidneys during preparation ...197875889
specificity of the blastogenic response of human mononuclear cells to herpesvirus antigens.peripheral blood mononuclear (pbm) cells from donors with a history of prior infection with herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and/or cytomegalovirus were cultured for 2 to 8 days with glycine-extracted antigens prepared from these viruses and from infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. the proliferative response of pbm cells from all donors was specific during the first 6 days in culture. during this period the cellular immune responses of the seronegative donors were clearly diffe ...197878901
the use of frozen cells in the microtitre serum neutralization test for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.some parameters of the microtitre serum neutralization test were examined when using bovine fetal kidney cells derived from stocks stored in liquid nitrogen. in replicate tests with one serum there was no significant difference (p greater than 0.05) between titres calculated on the basis of cytopathic effect when either two or four wells were used per serum dilution. also, there was no significant difference between titres calculated on the basis of a cell staining method when either two or four ...1975163125
infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis i. experimental production.one or both eyes of 20 calves were inoculated one or more time with variou(s combinations of microorganism (live oor killed moraxella bovis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, bovine adenovirus, bovine parainfluenza-3 virus and mycoplasma bovoculi) by conjunctival instillation or direct inoculation of the conjunctivea or cornea. the eyes of all the calves received natural or artificial ultraviolet irradiation. neither the adenovirus nor parainfluenza-3 virus became established in the eye o ...1975163126
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-infectious pustular vulvovaginitis viral isolates from cattle with epididymitis and vaginitis.infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (ibr-ipv) viral isolates were obtained from cattle affected with epididymitis-vaginitis. isolation of virus from the diseased animals indicated that the genital form of ibr-ipv virus infection exists in kenya and that epididymitis-vaginitis may be associated with ibr-ipv virus. serums prepared from cattle having the genital form of the disease did not always have detectable antibody titers.1975163602
defense mechanisms against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus: inhibition of virus infection by murine macrophages.an in vitro method is described to measure the inhibitory activity of murine peritoneal exudate cells against viral plaque formation by a bovine herpes-virus-infectious bovin'e rhinotracheitis virus. microtiter plates containing 96 bovine kidney cell monolayers were infected with a range of virus concentration and peritoneal exudate cells were subsequently added. when a sufficient number of cells was added, viral plaques were not detectable and free infectious virus did not occur in the culture ...1975163796

local and systemic response after simultaneous intranasal inoculation of temperature-sensitive mutants of parainfluenza 3, ibr and bovine adenovirus 3.triple seronegative calves were exposed by the nasal route to three (ts) mutants of bovine respiratory viruses (pi3, ibr, adeno3). after a single exposure, they responded with significant levels of serum antibodies to the three viruses. nasal antibodies were demonstrated for pi3 and adenovirus antigens. the failure to demonstrate nasal antibodies to ibr may be due to lack of sensitivity of the procedure used. when reexposed six weeks later, calves had sharp increases in levels of serum antibodie ...1975165126
antibody levels and immunity to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibr) infections in wisconsin dairy cattle.individual cows and calves in 7 holstein-friesian herds with a history of respiratory disease in green county, wisconsin, usa, were swabbed intranasally and bled monthly, some for periods over 1 year. virus isolation and serological procedures were completed on the samples in an attempt to recognize the problems and peculiarities that ibr virus continues to cause in dairy cows, in spite of, and possibly because of vaccines available for immunization against this agent. while ibr virus was isolat ...1975165127
immune response to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv) following natural infection or vaccination by intranasally or parenterally administered vaccines.neutralizing antibody activity is present in serum and nasal secretions of cattle following ibr virulent virus challenge or intranasal vaccination with live, avirulent virus. levels of nasal secretion antibody activity (ns-aa) are low and short-lived following initial exposure, but are considerably enhanced following reexposure provided infection occurs. ns-aa has not been detected in calves following parenteral administration of live virus vaccine. such calves are subject to infection by challe ...1975165128
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. history and recent developments.the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus belongs to the group of herpes viruses. it causes in cattle a severe disease predominantly in the upper respiratory tract. morbidity rate is 100 percent, mortality - depending on hygienic and other factors - ranges from 0-15 percent. the ibr virus is serologically indistinguishable from the infect pustulat vulvovaginitis (ipv) virus which causes disorders of the genital tract in both male and female cattle. possibly the ipv virus is the older of ...1975165129
malignant transformation of hamster cells following infection with bovine herpesvirus (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus.hamster embryo cells, following infection with ibr virus, showed malignant transformation. hamsters of all ages, inbred or random bred, inoculated with two of the transformed cell lines developed solid tumors. preliminary characterization of the tumors induced by one of the cell lines has indicated undifferentiated sarcomas. viral specific antigen was detected in about 5% of the transformed cells and 10% of primary tumor cells in culture. viral specific antibody was detected in the serum of ...1975165538
the incidence of antibody to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus in kenyan cattle.a total of 3204 cattle sera, collected between 1966 and 1974, from all seven provinces and 34 of the 42 districts of kenya were screened in a neutralisation test for antibody to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (ibrv). antibody to ibrv was found in some sera from all the districts, with cattle over two years old showing the highest incidence. a small number of goat sera also showed some antibody. from the results obtained it is concluded that ibrv infection is widespread in kenyan cattle.1975165572

[use of polyethylene glycol (peg) in the isolation of the ibr virus].experiments were carried out to use polyethylene-glycol (peg)--6000 in the isolation of the ibr virus from field material. the sedimentation with peg proved easy, fast and selective. large amounts of field material suspension could be treated which made it possible to attain volume concentration of such suspensions and to raise the relative concentration of the virus in them. thus the virus could be isolated more quickly and in a more dependable way, avoiding the toxic effect of some of the init ...1976183343

antibody class and complement requirement of neutralizing antibodies in the primary and secondary antibody response of cattle to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus vaccine.calves responded to a single intramuscular injection of an attenuated strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by producing igm followed by igg antibody. both igm and igg antibody produced during the first month were primarily complement-requiring neutralizing antibody (crnab), especially igm antibody. after a month, igg had replaced igm as the predominant immunoglobulin, and titers with and without complement (c') decreased in both igg and igm fractions. the largest decrease was in the ...1976184759
[micro-epidemiology and micro-plaque titration of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus on primary calf kidney cells by means of immunofluorescence].immunofluorescence was used to study the virus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and the course of infection in cell cultures of calf kidney. an indirect relationship was found to exist between the magnitude of inoculation and the onset of specific fluorescence. fluorescent plaques are formed as a result of inoculate dilution. the plaques will grow along with incubation time. release of virus into the culturing medium will first lead to the formation of secondary plaques, then followed by gen ...1976185980

lymphocyte activation by cell separation procedures.cell separation techniques normally used to obtain subpopulations of lymphocytes were shown, under certain conditions, to render the cells cytotoxic towards a number of target-cells including autologous lymphocytes. to cause cytotoxicity, it was necessary to pass cells through glass wool and/or nylon wool columns equilibrated with media containing fresh plasma or serum. cells lost activation upon overnight in vitro culture or treatment with trypsin. in addition to direct cell cytotoxicity, cells ...1976186400
in vitro interferon production by bovine tissues: effects of hydrocortisone.the effect of hydrocortisone on bovine interferon production in vitro was studied. infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus was used as an inducer. interferon was assayed by the plaque-reduction method in bovine fetal kidney cultures, using vesicular stomatitis virus as challenge virus. hydrocortisone decreased interferon production in bovine fetal spleen and peripheral blood leukocyte cultures. hydrocortisone did not decrease interferon production by bovine alveolar macrophages, in 1 experiment. ...1976187092
in vitro interferon production by bovine tissues: induction with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus.the interferon-inducing ability of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus was determined in tissue cultures of bovine origin inoculated with untreated and ultraviolet (uv) irradiated ibr viruses. interferon was assayed by the plaque-reduction method in bovine fetal kidney (bfk) cell cultures, using vesicular stomatitis virus as challenge virus. highest interferon concentrations were produced by cultures of bovine fetal (bf) spleen cells and aveolar macrophage cultures derived from adult c ...1976187093
the isolation and characterization of a strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus from stillbirth in swine.a virus, designated 5089, which was isolated from tissue samples from two stillborn pig fetuses was identified on the basis of its morphology, cytopathology, physiocochemical and serological characteristics as a strain of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr) virus. three piglets inoculated intranasally with 5089 virus did not respond serologically and no virus was isolated from their tissues at intervals after inoculation. they showed neither clinical signs nor significant lesions. a colostru ...1976187299
