identification and control of the cis-acting elements of the immediate early gene of equid herpesvirus type 1.consensus cis-acting dna sequences upstream of the immediate early (ie) gene of equid herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1, strain ab4) were identified. one copy of the conserved motif taatgarattc, which is the binding site for the host cellular factor oct-1 and herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) virion protein, vmw65, complex, was identified at positions -630 to -620. using transient transfections and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assays the ie promoter of ehv-1 was shown to be trans-activated by vmw ...19921545217
a murine model for studying ehv-1-induced abortion.balb/c mice were infected with two abortigenic strains of equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1) by intranasal inoculation. the inoculation of one strain produced subclinical disease while the other produced a disease characterised by weight loss, constitutional signs, and death in the most severely affected animals. when pregnant mice were infected by the same method of inoculation, one strain of virus produced premature parturition; both strains produced fetal abnormalities. in some cases, virus could b ...19911654586
identification of cross-reacting glycoproteins of four herpesviruses by western blotting.monospecific rabbit antisera against purified herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) gb, gc or gd antigens or polyvalent rabbit antiserum against equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1)-infected cells was used in western blotting to identify antigenically related proteins in cells infected with hsv-1, hsv-2, bovine mammillitis virus or ehv-1. monomeric and oligomeric polypeptides related to hsv-1 gb were found in cells infected with each of the four herpesviruses. the gc antiserum was specific for hsv-1 ...19852993488
comparison of stationary and roller cultures for the isolation of herpesviruses affecting livestock.the effect of rotating cultures on the isolation and cultivation of pseudorabies, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and equine rhinopneumonitis viruses was studied. serial ten-fold dilutions of laboratory strains of these viruses and field strains of pseudorabies virus were inoculated in two each of roller and stationary tubes of appropriate cell cultures. all tubes were examined daily for the appearance of cytopathic effects. roller cultures were found to slightly enhance the speed and extent o ...19873035348

kinetics of viral deoxyribonucleic acid, protein, and infectious particle production and alterations in host macromolecular syntheses in equine abortion (herpes) virus-infected cells.infection of exponential-phase suspension cultures of mouse fibroblast cells (l-m) with equine abortion virus (eav) resulted in inhibition of cell growth and marked alterations in host metabolic processes. the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid was inhibited within 4 hr after infection and was suppressed by more than 90% by the time of maximal virus replication (14 to 18 hr). the overall rate of protein synthesis, however, was similar in uninfected and virus-producing ...19684302745
protein kinase activity in equine herpesvirus.a protein kinase which is intimately associated with equine herpesvirus (equine abortion virus) was found by using adenosine triphosphate-gamma-(32)p as a phosphate donor and virus protein as an acceptor. consistent demonstration of the activity requires prior removal of phosphohydrolase. the kinase activity requires mg(2+), is not stimulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate, but is enhanced by added protamine or arginine-rich histone. the labeled product is resistant to ribonuclease, deoxyribo ...19724335515
equine abortion (herpes) virus: evaluation of markers in a field vaccination trial.twelve mares were vaccinated with attenuated equine abortion virus (eav) strain rac-h. two nonvaccinated mares served as controls. in at least three mares the vaccination appeared to coincide with a natural infection. this was indicated by characterization of the eav isolated from nasal secretions of six vaccinated mares, a nonvaccinated control, and also from the lung, spleen, and liver of a fetus aborted by a vaccinated mare. the relative sensitivity of the isolated eav to dithiothreitol was u ...19734796167
electron microscopy of equine respiratory viruses in organ cultures of equine fetal respiratory tract epithelium.organ cultures of equine fetal tracheal and nasal turbinate epithelium were inoculated with equine influenza virus-a1 (eiv-a1), equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1), or equine rhinovirus-1 (erv-1). infected organ cultures were processed for scanning and transmission electron microscopy at various intervals and were compared with noninfected controls. organ cultures inoculated with erv-1 appeared normal with the exception of rare island-like lesions in infected nasal turbinate. virus particles were not s ...19846093639
growth kinetics of equine respiratory tract viruses in cell and organ cultures.growth kinetics of equine influenza virus-a1, equine herpesvirus-1, and equine rhinovirus-1 were determined in susceptible cell monolayers and in organ cultures of equine fetal tracheal and nasal turbinate epithelium. equine influenza virus-a1 was replicated in cell and organ cultures and was released more readily and for longer periods from nasal turbinate epithelium than from tracheal epithelium. equine herpesvirus-1 was also replicated in cell and organ cultures. during the first 24 hours aft ...19846093640
functional and ultrastructural changes in neutrophils from mares and foals experimentally inoculated with a respiratory tract strain of equine herpesvirus-1.neutrophils isolated from venous blood of adult and foal ponies inoculated with equine herpesvirus-1 were evaluated by in vitro function tests and by electron microscopy. foals had fever and severe neutropenia 24 hours after inoculation; increased neutrophil random migration under agarose and decreased antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity were significant at 24 hours, but values had returned to preinoculation levels by 72 hours. mares had fever and leukopenia of less severity, increases ...19846093641
