| biological assay of attenuated strain nadl-2 and virulent strain nadl-8 of porcine parvovirus. | attenuated strain nadl-2 and virulent strain nadl-8 of porcine parvovirus (ppv) were titrated in vivo and in vitro under similar conditions to provide a better understanding of some of the factors involved in virulence of ppv in causing maternal reproductive failure of swine. both strains cause fetal death when they are injected directly into fetal fluids, but only strain nadl-8 does so when administered to pregnant swine. the strains were tested for their hemagglutinating activity (ha), median ... | 1984 | 6098200 |
| oronasal and intramuscular vaccination of swine with a modified live porcine parvovirus vaccine: multiplication and transmission of the vaccine virus. | an attenuated strain nadl-2 of porcine parvovirus (ppv) has been used at the 54th cell culture passage as a modified live-virus (mlv) vaccine. the present study was conducted to determine the minimum immunizing dose of mlv, the extent of mlv multiplication in swine tissues, and its transmission from swine administered mlv oronasally or intramuscularly. immune response to mlv was dose dependent and swine responded to as little as 10(2) median cell-culture infective doses (ccid50). a 10(5) ccid50 ... | 1984 | 6098202 |
| antibody responses of guinea-pigs, rabbits and pigs to inactivated porcine parvovirus vaccines. | antibody responses were compared in guinea-pigs, rabbits and pigs following vaccination with inactivated porcine parvovirus (ppv) vaccines. mean ppv hemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibody titers of 52, 56 and 36 at 1 week after first vaccination and 896, 640 and 512 at 2 weeks after second vaccination were detected in guinea-pigs, rabbits and pigs, respectively. ppv vaccines prepared with greater concentrations of virus, as determined by hemagglutination (ha) units, and of aluminum hydroxide ... | 1984 | 6719818 |
| pasteurization of antihemophilic factor and model virus inactivation studies. | heating sterilized albumin preparations at 600 degrees c for 10 hours has historically been shown to yield a hepatitis-free, efficacious product. we have evaluated such a pasteurization procedure with ahf preparations. procoagulant activity and fibrinogen stability were dependent on the amount of sucrose used as a stabilizer. flash pasteurization at 72 degrees c was evaluated and was found to be detrimental to ahf. effect of sucrose concentration was shown on the inactivation kinetics of porcine ... | 1985 | 3931293 |
| potentiating effect of adjuvants on humoral immunity to porcine parvovirus vaccines in guinea pigs. | fourteen different adjuvants, given either in single or combined form with another compound were compared in guinea pigs for their ability to potentiate humoral immunity to porcine parvovirus (ppv) antigen after 2 vaccinations. two injections were given, the second 3 weeks following the initial vaccination. antibody concentrations to ppv in sera from injected animals were measured over a 5-week period by the hemagglutination inhibition test. at the conclusion of the experiment, guinea pigs injec ... | 1985 | 4002607 |
| identification and characterization of a porcine parvovirus nonstructural polypeptide. | sera from porcine parvovirus (ppv)-infected swine fetuses immunoprecipitated and 84- to 86-kilodalton polypeptide in addition to the a and b virion structural proteins. this polypeptide, designated ns-1, was present in ppv-infected cell lysates but not in purified virions. partial proteolysis mapping revealed that ns-1 was not related to the a and b viral structural proteins. all three proteins in infected cells were phosphorylated at serine residues, and ns-1 also contained phosphothreonine. fr ... | 1985 | 4020958 |
| [study of porcine parvovirus antibodies on a breeding farm]. | serological examination of porcine parvovirus (ppv) haemagglutinating antibodies is reported in replacement gilts after a ppv infection on a large farm. it seems that ppv is no longer active on the farm after ppv infection. | 1985 | 4082161 |
| precipitating antibodies in experimental visna and natural progressive pneumonia of sheep. | serological responses of icelandic sheep experimentally infected with visna virus (vv) were contrasted with responses in american targhee sheep naturally infected with progressive pneumonia virus (ppv). precipitating antibodies assayed by immunodiffusion were compared with the neutralising and complementing fixing antibody response. in experimental infections with vv, complement fixing and neutralising antibodies appeared early after infection and rose to high levels in all sheep, while precipit ... | 1985 | 2988088 |
| kbsh parvovirus: comparison with porcine parvovirus. | we compared the molecular, antigenic, and pathogenic properties of kbsh parvovirus to those of porcine parvovirus (ppv) isolate nadl-8. kbsh, propagated in swine testes cells in culture, possessed two major capsid polypeptides of 83 and 64 kilodaltons that were similar in size to those of ppv. kbsh-infected cells also contained an 86-kilodalton nonstructural polypeptide that was identical in size to the ppv nonstructural polypeptide (ns-1). the kbsh polypeptides were structurally similar but not ... | 1985 | 2991553 |
| prenatal and preweaning deaths caused by pseudorabies virus and porcine parvovirus in a swine herd. | sequential outbreaks of pseudorabies virus and porcine parvovirus infections were documented at a swine farm in southern minnesota. data for the prevalence of mummified fetuses born and the preweaning mortality were recorded over a 3-year-period. the farm was a farrow-to-finish facility, with breeding females housed in 4 groups according to their stage of pregnancy. the herd consisted of approximately 130 breeding females in december 1981, and expanded to 220 females during the 12 months of 1982 ... | 1985 | 2997093 |

| desorption of porcine parvovirus from aluminum hydroxide adjuvant with subsequent viral immunoassay or hemagglutination assay. | cell culture fluids containing porcine parvovirus were adjuvanted with varying concentrations of aluminum hydroxide gel. adsorption of virus and total protein to adjuvant was proportional to adjuvant concentration. desorption of virus and protein from the adjuvant in substantial, reproducible quantities was achieved by washing adjuvanted preparations with 1.2 m potassium phosphate, followed by dialysis and concentration of wash fluids. sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of ... | 1987 | 3033874 |
| hormonal changes in sows after induced porcine parvovirus infection in early pregnancy. | hormonal changes, lesions, and virus isolation studies were determined in sows after uterine artery inoculation with porcine parvovirus [( ppv], strain nadl-8) in early pregnancy. two sows were given ppv on days 14 or 16 and were euthanatized and necropsied on day 35 after twice daily plasma collection for hormone measurement. parvovirus was given to 4 sows on day 14 and to 4 sows on day 21 with 5 times daily plasma samples collected for 1 week. sows were examined on days 21 and 28, respectively ... | 1987 | 3035969 |
| clinical, virologic, and histopathologic observations of induced porcine parvovirus infection in boars. | twelve 8- to 12-month-old crossbred boars were inoculated with a virulent strain (nadl-8) of porcine parvovirus (ppv). hemicastrations were performed on 6 boars 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 days after an im injection of 10(8) median cell culture infectious dose (ccid50) of ppv (n = 3) or injection of 10(7.4) ccid50 given intratesticularly (it, n = 3). noninfected cell culture medium (0.25 ml) was injected into each testicle of a 7th boar (it inoculated control). virus or viral antigen was detected i ... | 1987 | 3035971 |
| [restriction analysis of the genome of swine abortion parvovirus and cloning of its psti-ecori fragment]. | the cultured pig kidney cells infected by the porcine parvovirus (ppv) produced the virions and viral dna. the latter was used as a matrix to synthesize the double stranded dna. the obtained preparation is more homogenic than the natural replicative form and was used for restriction analysis of porcine parvovirus genome and for molecular cloning of its fragment. the isolated recombinant plasmids contained the psti-ecori fragment of ppv dna, containing 70% of the viral genome. the restriction ana ... | 1987 | 3037360 |
| inhibition of porcine parvovirus replication by empty virus particles. | the influence of empty porcine parvovirus (ppv) particles on viral replication was examined in cell cultures and in swine. following extensive purification, homogeneous preparations of full and empty ppv preparations were obtained and used for in vitro and in vivo analyses. in the first in vitro experiment, swine testes cells were infected with mixtures of various ratios of empty and full (e/f) particles. the production of both intracellular and extracellular virus was markedly inhibited in the ... | 1987 | 3039947 |
| maternally-derived antibodies to porcine parvovirus and their effect on active antibody production after vaccination with an inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine. | two sows which had been vaccinated with an oil-emulsion porcine parvovirus vaccine, and had developed high haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody levels to the virus, farrowed three successive litters each, a total of 74 piglets. serum samples from these piglets were tested for haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody at birth, three and 17 days after birth, and at monthly intervals thereafter to study the decline of maternally-derived antibody. regression curves were constructed from the data to sh ... | 1987 | 3603999 |
| [2 strains of swine parvoviruses isolated from aborted fetuses]. | two hemagglutinating virus strains were isolated (in primary cell cultures of pig kidneys) from viscera of aborted swine fetuses. a number of serologic, cytologic, physico-chemical, and laboratory investigations with the strains revealed that they belonged to the group of porcine parvovirus (ppv). the isolation of spv from aborted fetuses pointed to the fact that the disease had been widespread among the swine population and plays a part in reproduction disturbances that have come to be known re ... | 1987 | 3617471 |
| cultivation of a pig parvovirus in various cell cultures. | the susceptibility of several established cell lines of pig (llc-pk1 = pig kidney; mpk = minipig kidney; pk15 = pig kidney; esk = embryonic swine kidney), bovine (ebtr = embryonic bovine trachea), monkey (ma-104 = fetal rhesus monkey kidney) and human (hel-299 = embryonic human lung) origin to porcine parvovirus was studied. the primary pig kidney cell cultures (ppk) were included in the study as the reference cell system. from the results it appeared that the virus only replicated in cell lines ... | 1987 | 3626887 |
| pathogenicity of a skin isolate of porcine parvovirus in swine fetuses. | the pathogenic properties of a skin isolate of porcine parvovirus (ppv), designated kresse isolate, were compared with nadl-8 isolate, a prototype isolate of ppv, by in utero inoculation of mid-term and late-term gestation swine fetuses. fetuses from pregnant sows of mid-gestation were inoculated with either nadl-8 or kresse virus. both isolates were highly pathogenic to mid-gestation fetuses. in contrast, dramatic differences in pathogenicity between these 2 isolates were observed in fetuses in ... | 1987 | 2830705 |
| [isolation of conjugated sera for the immunofluorescence demonstration of swine parvovirus]. | high-titer, specific serum against porcine parvovirus was obtained via hyperimmunization of rabbits, with the use of a bulgarian isolate that had been partially purified after a known, modified technique. a specific, high-titer conjugate was produced for the immunofluorescence diagnosis of porcine parvoviruses. the microscopic observation of the lamellae of cell cultures, treated with the conjugate, revealed the presence of a specific, typically granulated perinuclear (mostly unilaterally) and, ... | 1987 | 3314114 |
| use of an inactivated vaccine for prevention of parvovirus-induced reproductive failure in gilts. | gilts from dams that had been inoculated with inactivated porcine parvovirus (ppv) vaccine before breeding became seronegative to ppv by 26 weeks of age. vaccination of these gilts with inactivated ppv vaccine at 32 weeks of age resulted in an antibody response that peaked at about 2 weeks after vaccination, with -log10 mean hemagglutination inhibiting (hi) antibody titers of less than 2. in the first-year group (82 gilts), hi titers gradually decreased, 20% of the gilts being seronegative by 6 ... | 1987 | 3028999 |
| comparison of porcine parvovirus to other parvoviruses by restriction site mapping and hybridization analysis of southern blots. | the genomic relationship between porcine parvovirus (ppv) and several other autonomous parvoviruses was examined by restriction site and hybridization analysis. restriction site maps of the ppv genome were prepared by digesting the double-stranded replicative form of the viral dna with each of eight restriction enzymes. subsequent comparison of such maps with those previously reported for ppv, canine parvovirus (cpv), feline panleukopenia virus (fpv), minute virus of mice (mvm), h-1 virus (h-1) ... | 1987 | 3029312 |

| evaluation and simplification of the world health organization clinical case definition for paediatric aids. | the world health organization (who) clinical case definition for paediatric aids was tested during a 1-month period on 221 consecutive hospitalized children in kigali, rwanda. relevant clinical features not included in the who case definition were also evaluated. thirty-four out of the 221 children (15.4%) were hiv seropositive. although the specificity of the who case definition was high (92%), the sensitivity and the positive predictive value (ppv) were low (41 and 48%, respectively). the foll ... | 1989 | 2500955 |
| an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of antibodies to porcine parvovirus. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed for detection of antibodies to porcine parvovirus (ppv). antisera to ppv were raised in pigs, for which ppv grown on pk15 cells was used for primary intranasal inoculations, and ppv cultured on autologous kidney cells for booster immunisations. a competition elisa was developed, based on the principle of a double antibody sandwich assay, using immunoglobulin fractions prepared from these sera. the elisa was compared with a haemagglutinat ... | 1989 | 2542351 |
| characterization of a parvovirus isolated from the diarrheic feces of a pig. | a small dna virus was isolated from the feces of a sow with diarrhea and identified as a parvovirus on the basis of its properties. the virus replicated preferentially in cell cultures of swine origin, including primary porcine thyroid gland and kidney cell cultures in which the cytopathic effect developed. the virus agglutinated erythrocytes of guinea pig, mouse and human group o but not these of chicken. the growth of the virus was inhibited by 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine. the virus was resistant t ... | 1989 | 2544760 |
| in vitro assessment of viral antigen content in inactivated aluminum hydroxide adjuvanted vaccines. | antigen capture enzyme immunoassays (elisa) were developed to assess the antigenic content of inactivated aluminum hydroxide (ah) adjuvanted porcine parvovirus, pseudorabies, and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis vaccines. reference preparations of these viruses were constructed as a basis for comparison. because ah-associated elisa interference was largely circumvented, the need for isotopic or complex antigen-adjuvant desorption methods was eliminated. a 4-parameter logistic model related opti ... | 1989 | 2550498 |
| a serological survey of swine parvovirus infection in italy. | a serological survey to detect the presence of porcine parvovirus (ppv) infection in italy and its geographic distribution was conducted. 1,332 samples of serum collected in 1983/1984/1985 were taken from pig breeding herds and, to a lesser extent, from fattening piggeries of representative regions of italy. they were tested using the hemagglutination inhibition test (hit). the results of the serological study indicate that parvovirus infection is widespread in italian herds having 70.3% of sera ... | 1989 | 2550741 |
| nucleotide sequence analysis of the capsid genes and the right-hand terminal palindrome of porcine parvovirus, strain nadl-2. | the genome of the porcine parvovirus, strain nadl-2, has been cloned and the sequence of map units 28 to 100, which is 3670 bp in length and contains the capsid coding regions and the right-hand terminal palindrome, has been determined. the sequence shows extensive homology with other parvoviruses such as mvm, h-1, cpv, and fpv in the capsid coding region. given the information available from these sequences, the regulatory and capsid coding regions for ppv have been proposed and the amino acid ... | 1989 | 2596019 |
| temperature dependent replication of porcine parvovirus isolates. | the replication of four porcine parvovirus isolates, nadl-8, nadl-2, kbsh, and kresse, in swine testes cells were compared at temperatures of 32, 37, and 39 degrees c. replication of the kresse isolate was restricted at 32 and 37 degrees c as evidenced by progeny virus, virus polypeptide and viral dna synthesis, but not at 39 degrees c. in contrast, replication of kbsh was restricted at 39 degrees c, but not at 37 or 32 degrees c. findings from this study support the contention that replication ... | 1989 | 2596974 |
| expression of the plum pox virus coat protein region in escherichia coli. | a cdna complementary to the 3' end of plum pox virus (ppv) rna was sequenced. the sequence was investigated for the presumable coat protein cistron by computer-aided translation. a fragment containing the stop codon of the polyprotein gene and a putative virus-specific protease cleavage site was subcloned into an e. coli expression vector. it is shown by immunological analysis that the coat protein cistron is located within the subcloned region. | 1989 | 2655276 |
| artificial cleavage site recognized by plum pox potyvirus protease in escherichia coli. | a synthetic plum pox virus (ppv) nib-cp cleavage site was recognized by a ppv protease in an in vivo escherichia coli expression system. the presence of the natural nib-cp cleavage site did not affect processing at the artificial one. however, although both the proteases and the cleavage sites of ppv and tobacco etch virus show high sequence homology, a similar cassette from the tobacco etch virus nib-cp junction was not efficiently recognized by the ppv protease. | 1989 | 2657098 |
| polarized entry of canine parvovirus in an epithelial cell line. | the binding and uptake of canine parvovirus (cpv) in polarized epithelial cells were investigated by growing the cells on a permeable support and inoculating with the virus either from the apical or basolateral surface. binding of radiolabeled cpv occurred preferentially on the basolateral surface. in contrast, when a similar experiment was carried out on nonpolarized a72 cells, virus binding occurred regardless of the direction of virus input. binding appeared to be specific for cpv and could n ... | 1989 | 2657102 |
| the complete nucleotide sequence of plum pox virus rna. | the complete nucleotide sequence of the rna of an aphid non-transmissible plum pox virus (ppv-nat) isolate has been determined from five overlapping cdna clones. cdna prepared by primer extension was used to determine the 5' terminus. the assembled rna is 9741 nucleotides in length, excluding a 3' terminal poly(a) sequence. one large open reading frame starts at nucleotide positions 36 to 38 and is terminated with an uag codon at positions 9522 to 9524. the putative start codon is located at pos ... | 1989 | 2732699 |
| nucleotide sequence of capsid protein gene of porcine parvovirus. | approximately 90% of the genome of porcine parvovirus was cloned into bacterial cells. the nucleotide sequence of the genome from 33 map units (mu) to 95 mu was determined and shown to include the entire gene encoding the capsid proteins. the predicted amino acid sequences of the capsid proteins showed extensive homology to those of other autonomous parvoviruses. | 1989 | 2750278 |
| the complete nucleotide sequence of plum pox potyvirus rna. | the complete nucleotide sequence of the plum pox virus (ppv) rna genome has been determined. the rna sequence is 9786 nucleotides in length, excluding the 3'-terminal poly(a) tail. an aug triplet at position 147-149 was assigned as the initiation codon for the translation of the genome size viral polyprotein which would consist of 3140 amino acid residues. the nucleotide sequence of the non-coding regions and the predicted amino acid sequence of the polyprotein of ppv were compared with those pr ... | 1989 | 2773595 |
| porcine parvovirus: dna sequence and genome organization. | we have determined the nucleotide sequence of an almost full-length clone of porcine parvovirus (ppv). the sequence is 4973 nucleotides (nt) long. the 3' end of virion dna shows a y-shaped configuration homologous to rodent parvoviruses. the 5' end of virion dna shows a repetition of 127 nt at the carboxy terminus of the capsid proteins. the overall organization of the ppv genome is similar to those of other autonomous parvoviruses. there are two large open reading frames (orfs) that almost enti ... | 1989 | 2794971 |
| the genome-linked protein and 5' end rna sequence of plum pox potyvirus. | the infectivity of plum pox potyvirus (ppv) rna was decreased by treatment with proteases. ribonuclease digestion of iodinated ppv rna yielded material which had an electrophoretic mobility corresponding to mr 22,000. this protein presumably corresponds to the protease-sensitive structure needed for infectivity. a protein-linked rnase t1-resistant oligonucleotide, 38 nucleotides long, was sequenced and shown to correspond to the 5' terminus of the rna by sequence comparison to the rnas of two ot ... | 1989 | 2794981 |
| molecular cloning of porcine parvovirus dna for the purpose of obtaining viral antigen synthesis in bacteria. | an expression of porcine parvovirus 1.05 kb dna fragment was obtained in escherichia coli under the control both of pr-lambda and lac-promoters. the product of expression under pr-control was demonstrated to show ppv-specific antigenic properties. its electrophoretic mobility corresponded to a molecular weight of approximately 45 kd. | 1990 | 2102651 |
| dot hybridization detection of plum pox virus using 32p-labeled rna probes representing non-structural viral protein genes. | a cdna library covering the complete genome of plum pox virus strain d (ppv d) has been obtained, and an endonuclease restriction map derived from it. this map was superposed on the ppv genomic organisation map, established for a nonaphid transmissible strain of ppv (maiss et al., 1989). this allowed us to select seven probes, corresponding to different regions on the ppv genome. these probes were tested in a dot-blot hybridization assay for the detection of ppv. probes of various lengths (0.25 ... | 1990 | 2148174 |
| [the effect of parvovirus vaccination in sows through their 4th parity and the role of influenza h1n1 virus]. | the effects of vaccination of a porcine parvovirus (ppv) in gilts and the first four litters were studied in a pig-breeding herd. in addition to determination of the technical results, ppv and influenza (h1n1) titres were measured. from the serological findings it was apparent that ppv and influenza (h1n1) virus circulated during the trial. the number of total-born and live-born piglets was significantly higher in the first litter when ppv-vaccinated and non-vaccinated gilts were compared. on th ... | 1990 | 2156355 |
| development of a vaccine preventing parvovirus-induced reproductive failure in pigs. | an inactivated porcine parvovirus (ppv) vaccine for the prevention of ppv-induced reproductive failure in pigs was developed, using virus grown in cell culture, inactivated with beta-propiolactone and adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide. the vaccine was tested for safety by subcutaneous injection into pregnant gilts. there were no signs of abnormal reactions nor evidence of ppv infection in the gilts or their foetuses when they were sacrificed 6 weeks after vaccination. to demonstrate that the va ... | 1990 | 2165775 |
| persistence of porcine parvovirus in swine infected in utero and followed through maturity. | the potential of porcine parvovirus (ppv) to persistently infect swine exposed in utero was studied. forty eight 80- to 95-day-old fetuses from 5 ppv seropositive sows were inoculated intramusculary with a virulent strain of ppv or with cell culture medium (controls). blood samples were collected at birth prior to nursing and at monthly intervals thereafter and tested for antibodies to ppv. virus-inoculated and control pigs were euthanized at either 1 week before birth (-1), at birth (0) and at ... | 1990 | 2166412 |
| establishment of transformed swine fibroblast cell lines using sv40 large t antigen. | swine testicle cell lines were established by transformation of primary swine testicle (pst) cells with an sv40 plasmid (psv3-neo), which contains genes conferring resistance to neomycin and expressing sv40 large t antigen. plasmid dna was transfected into pst cells using a lipofection system. two related plasmids, psv2-neo and psv5-neo, failed to induce transformed cells. cells transformed with psv3-neo formed single colonies that were resistant to the antibiotic, g418, and expressed large t an ... | 1990 | 2175590 |
| comparison of commercial kits for the detection of antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) in nigeria. | four commercial kits for the detection of antibodies to hiv-1 were compared with regard to their sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. the wellcozyme competitive enzyme immunoassay was the least sensitive (62.5%), while roche eia, was the most sensitive (100%). all the commercial kits gave false negative results except the roche eia system. the serodia particle agglutination test had the least positive predictive value of 26.9% while roche eia had the highest (88.9%). our resul ... | 1990 | 2191859 |
| sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the rapid diagnosis of influenza a virus infections in clinical specimens. | samples of nasopharyngeal secretion (nps) from 100 infants and small children admitted for acute respiratory disease during the period from january to march 1989 were examined for the presence of influenza a virus. all samples were tested by enzyme immunoassay (eia), fluorescent antibody (fa) technique and by isolation in cell culture 3-6 h after they were obtained from the patients. of 24 influenza strains found by isolation, 21 were detected by eia and 19 were fa+. in comparison with virus iso ... | 1990 | 2203125 |
| the complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of porcine parvovirus, strain nadl-2. | the complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of porcine parvovirus, strain nadl-2, was determined. the nucleotide sequence organization of the viral genome was found to be similar to that of the other autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus and minute virus of mice. | 1990 | 2219713 |
| replication of two porcine parvovirus isolates at non-permissive temperatures. | previous studies have shown that replication in vitro of the porcine parvovirus (ppv) isolate, kbsh, was restricted at 39 degrees c but not at 37 degrees c. in contrast, replication of the kresse isolate was restricted at 37 degrees c but not at 39 degrees c. in this study, kresse and kbsh isolates were passaged up to ten times in swine testicle (st) cells at non-permissive temperatures, and at subsequent passage viral protein synthesis, viral dna synthesis, and progeny virus were evaluated. kbs ... | 1990 | 2222184 |
| rna helicase: a novel activity associated with a protein encoded by a positive strand rna virus. | most positive strand rna viruses infecting plants and animals encode proteins containing the so-called nucleotide binding motif (ntbm) (1) in their amino acid sequences (2). as suggested from the high level of sequence similarity of these viral proteins with the recently described superfamilies of helicase-like proteins (3-5), the ntbm-containing cylindrical inclusion (ci) protein from plum pox virus (ppv), which belongs to the potyvirus group of positive strand rna viruses, is shown to be able ... | 1990 | 2263459 |
| mutational analysis of plum pox potyvirus polyprotein processing by the nia protease in escherichia coli. | a binary escherichia coli expression system has been used to study the pathway for proteolytic processing of the plum pox potyvirus (ppv) polyprotein. trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the cylindrical inclusion protein occurred, although with lower efficiency than that at the large nuclear inclusion protein-capsid protein junction. no trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the small nuclear inclusion protein (nia) was detected. the proteolytic activities at different cleavage sites of several ... | 1990 | 2273380 |
| porcine parvovirus survey. | 1990 | 2309430 | |
| excretion of porcine parvovirus through the genital tract of boars. | the putative binding of porcine parvovirus (ppv) to semen components in vitro was examined along with the shedding pattern of ppv in oronasally infected boars. porcine parvovirus dna was determined to be bound to spermatozoa that had been incubated in vitro with ppv and washed to remove loosely adherent virus. to determine whether ppv was shed in the semen, four 8-month-old boars, seronegative for ppv, were inoculated oronasally with a virulent strain of ppv. prior to virus inoculation, a cathet ... | 1990 | 2316910 |
| infectious in vitro transcripts from a plum pox potyvirus cdna clone. | a full-length cdna clone of the 9786 nt plum pox virus (ppv) rna genome has been cloned downstream from a phage t7 rna polymerase promoter. the rnas synthesized by in vitro run-off transcription in the presence of the 5' cap analog m7gpppg were infectious in nicotiana clevelandii plants. no infectivity was detected when the transcriptions were carried out in the absence of the cap analog. inoculations of the local lesion host chenopodium foetidum indicated that the infectivity of the synthetic t ... | 1990 | 2371774 |
| construction of an infectious genomic clone of porcine parvovirus: effect of the 5'-end on dna replication. | the linear single-stranded dna genome of the porcine parvovirus, an autonomous parvovirus, was cloned in duplex form into the bacterial plasmid puc18 using a simple and reliable method. these clones were stable during propagation in escherichia coli jm109. the recombinant clones of porcine parvovirus were infectious when transfected into monolayers of swine testes cells as identified by the development of cytopathic effect, indirect immunofluorescence with specific antiserum, and hemagglutinatio ... | 1990 | 2371779 |
