fatal disease in nursing puppies associated with minute virus of canines.thirteen cases of a previously undescribed parvoviral infection affecting puppies ranging in age from 5 to 21 days is described. the cases were originally thought to represent an unusual pathologic manifestation of canine parvovirus-2 (cpv-2) infection. however, failure to confirm cpv-2 infection in any of the cases suggested a different parvovirus was involved. minute virus of canines (mvc) was subsequently isolated from a case by using the walter reed canine cell line, the only cell line which ...19921313305
recombinant vaccine for canine parvovirus in dogs.vp2 is the major component of canine parvovirus (cpv) capsids. the vp2-coding gene was engineered to be expressed by a recombinant baculovirus under the control of the polyhedrin promoter. a transfer vector that contains the lacz gene under the control of the p10 promoter was used in order to facilitate the selection of recombinants. the expressed vp2 was found to be structurally and immunologically indistinguishable from authentic vp2. the recombinant vp2 shows also the capability to self-assem ...19921313899
canine and feline host ranges of canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus: distinct host cell tropisms of each virus in vitro and in vivo.canine parvovirus (cpv) emerged as an apparently new virus during the mid-1970s. the origin of cpv is unknown, but a variation from feline panleukopenia virus (fpv) or another closely related parvovirus is suspected. here we examine the in vitro and in vivo canine and feline host ranges of cpv and fpv. examination of three canine and six feline cell lines and mitogen-stimulated canine and feline peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed that cpv replicates in both canine and feline cells, whereas fp ...19921323703
mutations adjacent to the dimple of the canine parvovirus capsid structure affect sialic acid binding.the erythrocyte receptor on rhesus macaque erythrocytes used by canine parvovirus (cpv) for binding in hemagglutination (ha) was examined. erythrocyte membrane proteins were electrophoresed and blotted to nitrocellulose and probed with [125i]-labeled cpv capsids, showing seven virus-binding proteins. treatment of erythrocytes or isolated membranes with clostridium perfringens neuraminidase virtually abolished virus binding. binding was also affected by treatment with potassium periodate and inhi ...19921329321
diseases, parasites and survival of coyotes in south-central georgia.serologic testing, radio-telemetry and post-mortem diagnostic evaluations were used to investigate survival and causes of mortality among 17 coyotes (canis latrans) in south-central georgia (usa). prevalence of canine heartworm (dirofilaria immitis) microfilariae was lower (p = 0.057) among fall-captured (22%) than among winter-captured (75%) coyotes. prevalence of heartworm was higher among adults than juveniles in the fall, but no significant difference was detected between animals captured in ...19921474655
diseases and parasites of red foxes, gray foxes, and coyotes from commercial sources selling to fox-chasing enclosures.fifty-six red foxes (vulpes vulpes), 18 gray foxes (urocyon cinereoargenteus), and 13 coyotes (canis latrans) obtained by the south carolina wildlife and marine resources department during an investigation of suspected illegal wildlife translocation were examined for diseases and parasites. red foxes and coyotes were confiscated from an animal dealer based in ohio (usa), and gray foxes were purchased from an animal dealer in indiana (usa). emphasis was placed on detection of pathogens representi ...19921474656
ab initio phase determination for spherical viruses: parameter determination for spherical-shell models.the structure determination of canine parvovirus depended on the extension of phases calculated initially from a spherical-shell model [tsao, chapman, wu, agbandje, keller & rossmann (1992). acta cryst. b48, 75-88]. such ab initio phasing holds the promise of obviating initial experimental phasing by isomorphous or molecular replacement, thereby expediting the structure determinations of spherical virus capsids. in this paper, it is shown how parameters such as radii, dna density and particle po ...19921605933
partial dna cloning and sequencing of a canine parvovirus vaccine strain: application of nucleic acid hybridization to the diagnosis of canine parvovirus disease.the cloning and sequencing of an eco ri-psti fragment derived from the replicative form of a canine parvovirus (cpv) vaccine strain are reported. the variability of the 5' end of ns 1 protein gene in the genome is confirmed by comparison with previously determined dna sequences. a 15 nucleotide deletion was also observed in this vaccine strain. in order to improve cpv diagnosis, radioactively labelled rna or dna and biotin labelled dna obtained by random priming of the recombinant plasmid were u ...19921456893
antigenic and genomic comparisons of some feline parvovirus subspecies strains.fourteen feline parvovirus (fpv) strains isolated from cats, mink and dogs were comparatively examined on their antigenic and genetic diversities by using monoclonal antibodies against feline panleukopenia virus (fplv) and restriction enzyme analysis of viral dna. mink enteritis virus (mev) strains recently isolated in the northeastern area of the people's republic of china were found to possess more similar antigenic and genetic properties to the antigenic variant virus of canine parvovirus (cp ...19911649516
localization of an immunodominant domain on baculovirus-produced parvovirus b19 capsids: correlation to a major surface region on the native virus particle.an immunodominant region on baculovirus-produced parvovirus b19 vp2 capsids was localized between amino acids 259 and 426 by mapping the binding sites of a panel of monoclonal antibodies which recognize determinants on the particles. the binding sites of three monoclonal antibodies were fine-mapped within this antigenic domain. six vp2-specific monoclonal antibodies recognized determinants common to both the empty capsids and native parvovirus. the defined antigenic region is most probably expos ...19921433504
changes in blastogenic responses of lymphocytes and delayed type hypersensitivity responses after vaccination in dogs.to clarify the immunologic effects of vaccination in dogs, we monitored total leukocyte and lymphocyte counts, humoral antibody responses, blastogenic responses of lymphocyte, and delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) responses after vaccination. mixed vaccines were administered on day 0 except for canine parvovirus (cpv) vaccine which was readministered on day 21. the puppy and adult dogs had a significant decrease in leukocyte and lymphocyte counts on day 7. the puppies showed a significant incr ...19921420577
unique region of the minor capsid protein of human parvovirus b19 is exposed on the virion surface.capsids of the b19 parvovirus are composed of major (vp2; 58 kd) and minor (vp1; 83 kd) structural proteins. these proteins are identical except for a unique 226 amino acid region at the amino terminus of vp1. previous immunization studies with recombinant empty capsids have demonstrated that the presence of vp1 was required to elicit virus-neutralizing antibody activity. however, to date, neutralizing epitopes have been identified only on vp2. crystallographic studies of a related parvovirus (c ...19921376332
canine parvovirus empty capsids produced by expression in a baculovirus vector: use in analysis of viral properties and immunization of dogs.the vp-2 genes of canine parvovirus (cpv) and a recombinant consisting of cpv and feline panleukopenia virus (fpv) sequences were cloned into baculovirus expression vectors, fused to the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter. recombinant baculoviruses were prepared and the properties of the parvovirus proteins expressed in insect cells examined. the proteins produced were the same size as the authentic cpv vp-2 protein, and were produced late after infection; the quantity of proteins recovered from th ...19921371541
response of pups with maternal derived antibody to modified-live canine parvovirus vaccine.the aa reports the results of vaccination against canine parvovirus (cpv) of pups with maternal antibody, utilizing a modified-live virus (mlv) cpv vaccine having a titer of 10(7) tcid50/dose. this vaccine was shown to be effective also when hi antibody titers of pups were < or = 1:80.19921330425
[ten years of clinical experiences with canine parvovirus infection cpv-2 infection)].clinical and laboratory data of 205 dogs with acute canine parvovirus infection were collected. seventy-six of these dogs underwent 179 clinical reexaminations. parvovirus infection can be clinically diagnosed if there are typical gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhoea) in combination with a leucopenia of under 4000 cells/microliters and/or a rise in antibody titer of two degrees or more. in typical parvovirus infection a distinct hyperthermia often precedes vomiting and diarrhoea. the c ...19921324535
induction and characterization of monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies reactive with idiotopes of canine parvovirus neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.monoclonal anti-idiotypic (anti-id) antibodies (ab2) were generated against idiotypes (id) of canine parvovirus (cpv) specific monoclonal antibodies (moabs). the binding of most of these anti-id antibodies to their corresponding id could be inhibited by antigen, thus classifying these anti-id antibodies as ab2 gamma or ab2 beta. by inhibiting experiments it was shown that these anti-id antibodies did not recognize interspecies cross-reactive idiotopes, but recognized private idiotopes, uniquely ...19911719693
characterization of the stage(s) in the virus replication cycle at which the host-cell specificity of the feline parvovirus subgroup is regulated in canine cells.feline panleukopenia virus (fplv), mink enteritis virus (mev), and canine parvovirus (cpv) are classified as a host-range variants. they show different host-range specificity in vivo and host-cell specificity in vitro. for instance, fplv and mev cannot grow or can grow only inefficiently in canine cell lines such as mdck and the canine fibroma cell line a72. here we have studied the mechanism(s) by which the different cell tropism is mediated in vitro. when fplv or mev was inoculated to a72 cell ...19921322591
a serologic survey of the island fox (urocyon littoralis) on the channel islands, california.the island fox is listed as a threatened species in california. a serologic survey of 194 island foxes (urocyon littoralis) was conducted over the entire range of the species on the channel islands (california, usa). antibody prevalence against canine adenovirus and canine parvovirus reached 97% and 59%, respectively, in some populations sampled. antibody prevalence of canine herpesvirus, canine coronavirus, leptospirosis and toxoplasmosis were low. antibodies against canine distemper virus were ...19921318424
acute inflammatory response to cowpox virus infection of the chorioallantoic membrane of the chick embryo.the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane was used to study the acute inflammatory response in the absence of contributions from the immune system. in preliminary experiments, lesions of wild-type cowpox virus strain brighton (cpv-br) and a 38k gene deletion mutant of cpv-br (cpv-br.d1) were compared with vaccinia virus (strains wr and copenhagen), fowlpox virus, laryngotracheitis virus, and infectious tenosynovitis virus, and were ranked for degree of induced inflammation. the maximal and minim ...19921312273
an electron-microscopic study of the development of virulent and avirulent strains of semliki forest virus in mouse brain.two strains of semliki forest virus (sfv), the avirulent and virulent, were used to study the development of virus in both baby and adult mouse brain. the development of sfv in the brain was similar in baby and adult brain using the virulent strain and in the baby mouse brain using the avirulent strain. mature virus could not be found in adult mouse brain using the avirulent strain. this paper shows that extracellular virus particles near the cell membrane stimulate the formation of coated vesi ...1976932776
the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay systems for serology and antigen detection in parvovirus, coronavirus and rotavirus infections in dogs in the netherlands.complex trapping blocking (ctb) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) and indirect elisas for the detection of antibodies to canine parvovirus (cpv), canine coronavirus (ccv) and rotavirus in sera of dogs were established. double antibody sandwich elisas for the detection of cpv-, ccv- and rotavirus antigens in fecal samples were also developed. both the serological and antigen-detection elisas were used to screen samples from dogs in the netherlands, with or without a history of acute dia ...19911850889
polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification for the detection of porcine parvovirus.a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification method was developed and evaluated to detect porcine parvovirus (ppv). a pair of 20-base primers and an oligonucleotide probe were derived from the dna sequences common to two isolates of ppv, nadl-8 and nadl-2. the primers flanked 118-bp nucleotides within the region coding for the major structural protein vp2. after dna amplification of ppv replicative form (rf), a 158-bp fragment was detected in agarose gels. this amplified fragment was shown to ...19911874916
an electron-microscopic study of avirulent and virulent semliki forest virus in the brains of different ages of mice.ultrastructural studies of brains infected with avirulent and virulent strains of semliki forest virus (sfv) were performed in 2-7, 14, 19, and 21-28 day old mice. mature virus particles, dense clumps of fine granules, spherules and advanced stages of viral development i.e. cytopathic vacuoles, type ii (cpv ii) are seen in the brains at all ages with the virulent strain which is pathogenic to all age group of mice. in the avirulent strain infection which is pathogenic to mice below 15 days old, ...1978739267
the multicomponent genome of a different cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus isolated from heliothis armigera.the genome of a new cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (cpv) isolated from heliothis armigera has been shown to consist of 10 double-stranded rna segments, as in other cpvs, but the genome profile on page bears no resemblance to previously described cpvs isolated from h.armigera.1978361635
"pretranscriptional capping" in the biosynthesis of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus mrna.the in vitro synthesis of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (cpv) mrna was previously shown to be dependent upon the presence of the methyl donor s-adenosylmethionine (adomet). we now find that the competitive inhibitor of methylation, s-adenosylhomocysteine (adohcy), also stimulates cpv mrna synthesis efficiently, resulting in the synthesis of viral mrnas containing 5'-terminal gpppa and ppa, rather than m(7)gpppam as observed with adomet. in addition to adohcy, other adomet analogues, including s ...1978349555
effect of tunicamyein on the morphogenesis of semliki forest virus and rous sarcoma virus.semliki forst virus (sfv) infected chick embroyo cells (cec) incubated in the presence of tunicamyein, a drug which specifically inhibits glycosylation, were studied under the electron microscope. no extracellular virions were produced although intracellular viral nucleocapsids in paracrystalline form were detected. under these conditions the structures, referred to as type 1 and 2 cytopathic vacuoles (cpv-1 and cpv-2, respectively) as well as membraneous spherules at the plasma membrane could s ...1977200200
factors involved in the expression of cowpox virus-specific antigen in sendai virus carrier cells.formation of cowpox virus-specific cell surface antigen (cpvs-ag) hvj (sendai virus) carrier cells compared to that in parent cells. temperature shifts from 32 to 35 to 37 degrees c for these carrier cultures reduced this enhancing activity, making them equivalent to parent cells. the eclips phase and one-step growth of cpv in the carrier cells were shorter than in normal cells. extracts of carrier cells exhibited a stimulating activity causing the temporary rise and subsequent lowering of cpv i ...1976185330
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 ...197715532
the evolution of defective and autonomous parvoviruses.because of the small size and genetic simplicity of small dna viruses, parvoviruses would appear to be excellent models for studying viral evolution and adaptation. in an earlier publication we hypothesized the evolution of sequences of cellular "junk" dna into protective interfering transposons. these transposons would interfere with invading pathogenic viruses by competing with the pathogen dna for replicative enzymes. we speculated that a small, defective parvovirus, the adeno-associated viru ...19911648152
structure determination of monoclinic canine parvovirus.the three-dimensional structure of the single-stranded dna canine parvovirus has been determined to 3.25 a resolution. monoclinic crystals belonging to space group p2(1) (a = 263.1, b = 348.9, c = 267.2 a, beta = 90.82 degrees) were selected for data collection using primarily the cornell high energy synchrotron source and oscillation photography. there was one icosahedral particle per crystallographic asymmetric unit, giving 60-fold redundancy. the particle orientations in the unit cell were de ...19921616694
evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on monoclonal antibodies for the serology and antigen detection in canine parvovirus infections.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) system was developed for the detection of canine parvovirus (cpv) or cpv antigen in dog faeces and two other elisa systems were developed for the detection of cpv-specific antibodies in dog sera. the elisa's were based on the use of cpv-specific mouse monoclonal antibodies, which recognise different epitopes of the haemagglutinin of cpv and which also neutralise the virus. a double antibody sandwich (das) elisa for the detection of cpv in dog faeces w ...19902157312
further analyses of the orthopoxviruses volepox virus and raccoon poxvirus.volepox virus (vpx) from skin lesions on a vole and a piñon mouse caught in california and raccoon poxvirus (rcn) from raccoons trapped in maryland were examined to begin elucidating their relationship to other orthopoxviruses, most of which are not known to be indigenous to the americas. vpx and rcn produced pinpoint, nonhemorrhagic pocks on chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes. in cell cultures both viruses produced 1-mm diameter, irregular plaques, a-type inclusions (atis), and despite prod ...19921529541
[changes in the dynamics of viral infectious diseases].modern methods of molecular biology are suitable to analyse evolutionary processes in the area of infectious diseases. visible expression of this evolution is the emergence of "new" infectious agents, e.g., canine parvovirus, the agent of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and phocine distemper virus. in addition a gradual change of disease syndromes may be observed, e.g., classical and african swine fever and myxoma. these processes are based on genomic changes of the respective ...19921516549
nucleotide sequence of feline panleukopenia virus: comparison with canine parvovirus identifies host-specific differences.the nucleotide sequence of feline panleukopenia virus (fpv) strain 193 was determined and compared with the sequence of canine parvovirus (cpv) strain n and partial sequences of fpv strain carl and cpv strain b. base differences were identified at 115 positions in these 5.1 kb genomes and predicted amino acid differences occurred at 40 positions. the two overlapping capsid protein genes contained almost twice as many base differences as the single non-structural protein gene (49 compared to 26) ...19902174965
isolation and enzymatic characterization of protein lambda 2, the reovirus guanylyltransferase.protein lambda 2 of reovirus serotype 3 has been purified to homogeneity from extracts of cells infected with hybrid vaccinia virus strain wr into whose tk gene of the reovirus l2 genome segment under the control of the cpv ati protein gene promoter had been inserted. protein lambda 2 is formed in large amounts (final purification factor about 180) as a monomer that shows no tendency to pentamerize into the reovirus core projections/spikes. isolated protein lambda 2 is reversibly guanylylated by ...19911656591
retrospective study of myocardial canine parvovirus infection by in situ hybridization.the diagnosis of myocardial canine parvovirus (cpv) infection used to depend on the presence of pathognomonic intranuclear inclusion bodies. the in situ hybridization technique, however, allowed to detect cpv specific nucleic acid in myocardial tissue where no inclusion bodies were found. hence, we applied this technique to check formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded myocardial tissue from puppies with heart lesions for the presence of cpv. the tissues had been collected between 1977 and 1989. a biot ...19911656656
immunohistological diagnosis of rabbit haemorrhagic disease in experimentally infected rabbits in spain.the immunoreactivity of routinely processed liver and lung tissue samples obtained from rabbits inoculated with tissue explants from naturally infected animals when antisera directed against parvovirus from different species (canine, feline and porcine) as well as a rhd virus antiserum were employed has been tested by different immunoperoxidase methods. cross-reactivity between rhd-virus antigens and parvovirus antigens was present. best results were obtained with rhd and canine parvovirus antis ...19911663682
vaccine-associated canine distemper infection in a litter of african hunting dogs (lycaon pictus).four, 57 days old, african hunting dog puppies (lycaon pictus) from one litter died within three weeks following vaccination with modified-live canine distemper virus (cdv) and killed canine adenovirus type 1, canine parvovirus and leptospira icterohemorrhagiae and canicola. 18 days post vaccination, the animals developed neurologic disease characterized by episodes of grand mal seizures and circling. macroscopic, histological and immunohistochemical studies revealed acute systemic cdv infection ...19902385981
establishment and characterization of canine parvovirus-specific murine cd4+ t cell clones and their use for the delineation of t cell epitopes.canine parvovirus (cpv)-specific t cell clones were generated by culturing lymph node cells from cpv-immunized balb/c mice at limiting dilutions in the presence of cpv antigen and interleukin-2 (il-2). all isolated t cell clones exhibited the cell surface phenotype thy1+, cd4+, cd8- and proliferated specifically in response to cpv antigen. after stimulation with cpv antigen in culture the t cell clones produced il-2 and proliferated in the absence of exogenous il-2. naive mice to which cpv-speci ...19901693162
delineation of canine parvovirus t cell epitopes with peripheral blood mononuclear cells and t cell clones from immunized dogs.three synthetic peptides derived from the amino acid sequence of vp2 of canine parvovirus (cpv) which were recently shown to represent three distinct t cell epitopes for balb/c mice could prime balb/c mice for a cpv-specific proliferative t cell response upon immunization. proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) from cpv-immunized dogs upon stimulation with these and other peptides, covering the major part of the sequence of vp2', identified the presence of t cell ep ...19901700064
antigenic relationships among autonomous parvoviruses.the antigenic relatedness of minute virus of mice (mvm), kilham rat virus (kr), h-1 virus (h-1), haemorrhagic encephalopathy of rats virus (her), porcine parvovirus (ppv), canine parvovirus (cpv), feline panleukopenia virus (fpv), goose parvovirus (gpv) and bovine parvovirus (bpv) was studied by immunofluorescence microscopy (fa) and by serum neutralization (sn). an antigenically related group comprising mvm, kr, her, ppv, cpv and fpv was recognized by fa and most reactions within the group were ...19862432167

multiple amino acids in the capsid structure of canine parvovirus coordinately determine the canine host range and specific antigenic and hemagglutination properties.canine parvovirus (cpv) and feline panleukopenia virus (fpv) are over 98% similar in dna sequence but have specific host range, antigenic, and hemagglutination (ha) properties which were located within the capsid protein gene. in vitro mutagenesis and recombination were used to prepare 16 different recombinant genomic clones, and viruses derived from those clones were analyzed for their in vitro host range, antigenic, and ha properties. the region of cpv from 59 to 91 map units determined the ab ...19921331498
a synthetic peptide derived from the amino acid sequence of canine parvovirus structural proteins which defines a b cell epitope and elicits antiviral antibody in balb c mice.synthetic peptides, recombinant fusion proteins and mouse monoclonal antibodies were used to delineate a b cell epitope of the vp'2 structural protein of canine parvovirus (cpv). although this epitope is not preferentially recognized in the normal antibody response to cpv, virus-specific antibodies could be induced in balb/c mice with a synthetic peptide representing the epitope. the potential of this non-dominant b cell epitope to induce antiviral immunity in the presence of maternal cpv-specif ...19901701483
comparison of feline parvovirus subspecific strains using monoclonal antibodies against a feline panleukopenia virus.four monoclonal antibodies (mab) against a feline panleukopenia virus (fplv) tu 1 strain, one of the host range variants of feline parvovirus (fpv), were produced and applied for antigenic analysis of fplv, canine parvovirus (cpv) and mink enteritis virus (mev). all mabs were considered to be directed at epitopes on the virus capsid surface because they neutralized the infectivity and inhibited the hemagglutination (ha) of the homologous virus as well as other fpv strains. they were of the mouse ...19892544758
effect of canine parvovirus on erythroid progenitors in phenylhydrazine-induced regenerative hemolytic anemia in dogs.the effects of canine parvovirus (cpv) infection in dogs with hemolytic anemia was compared with the clinical effects of human parvovirus-induced aplastic anemia in human beings with chronic regenerative anemias. phenylhydrazine was used to induce a transient, severe, hemolytic anemia in dogs to evaluate the effects of cpv infection on rapidly dividing bone marrow precursors. erythrocyte colony-forming unit bone marrow cultures and cytologic examination of bone marrow were used to determine the ...19892548423
nucleotide sequence of the polyhedrin gene of euxoa scandens cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (escpv).the double-stranded rna genome of euxoa scandens cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (escpv) was reversely transcribed to the double-stranded dna and cloned into pibi30. the complete nucleotide sequence of cloned genome segment 10, which encodes the virus polyhedrin polypeptide, was determined. the escpv polyhedrin gene consists of 881 bp and possesses an open reading frame that codes for a polypeptide of 269 amino acids (mw 30.1k), consistent with an apparent mw of 30k determined by sds-page for pur ...19892650462
infectious entry pathway for canine parvovirus.we have investigated whether canine parvovirus (cpv) infection involves a low ph-dependent entry pathway. the effects of two lysosomotropic bases, nh4cl and chloroquine, on cpv entry were studied by immunofluorescence and ultrastructural and biochemical methods. in the presence of these reagents, input virions appear to accumulate in large vacuoles. ultrastructural studies indicated that uptake of virions takes place predominantly in small uncoated vesicles that appear to fuse with larger vesicl ...19921733094
nonreplicating viral vectors as potential vaccines: recombinant canarypox virus expressing measles virus fusion (f) and hemagglutinin (ha) glycoproteins.the development of canarypox virus (cpv) recombinants expressing the hemagglutinin (ha) and fusion (f) glycoproteins of measles virus (mv) is described. inoculation of the cpv-mv recombinants into avian or nonavian tissue culture substrates led to the expression of authentic mvf and mvha as determined by radioimmunoprecipitation and surface immunofluorescence. in contrast to avian-derived tissue culture, no productive replication of the cpv recombinant was evident in tissue culture cells derived ...19921736535
