mapping of the large rna genome segment of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus by hybrid arrested translation.segment a, the larger dsrna segment of ipnv which encodes three of the four virus-coded polypeptides (prevp2, vp3, and ns) was cloned and physically mapped. the plus and minus rna strands of the virus genome were separated and the a+ and b+ rna strands were identified. a nested set of cdna subclones, coterminal with the 5' end of a+ rna, were used in hybrid arrested translation experiments. hybrid arrest conditions which blocked the 5' two-thirds of a+ rna allowed the in vitro synthesis of only ...19872953102
isolation of a bisegmented double-stranded rna virus from thirlmere reservoir.a novel bisegmented double-stranded rna virus has been isolated from water processed from thirlmere reservoir. the virus is icosahedral, 58 nm in diam., has a buoyant density of 1.32 g/ml in cscl, has an s value of 400 and a rna/protein ratio of 0.087. the two linear segments of rna have approx. mol. wt. of 2.26 x 10(6) and 2.09 x 10(6). the virus contains six polypeptides. the virus was isolated in drosophila melanogaster cells and fails to replicate in other insect, amphibian, avian, piscine, ...19826815302
three new strains of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus isolated in canada.three new samples of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) isolated in canada were compared with known serotypes by phenotypic properties, immunofluorescence, and protein and rna molecular weights. the three new isolates were each found to be unique by these parameters. the most convincing physical difference used to distinguish the new isolates from known serotypes was their rna molecular weights. thus, the new cb, nasrc, and char isolates of ipnv represent three new strains of the virus.19836831312
biochemical characterization of eel virus european.the polypeptide and rna compositions of purified virions of eel virus european were compared to those of three strains (vr-299, sp and ab) of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) isolated from trout. all three ipnv strains could be distinguished by the relative mobilities of either the virion polypeptides or the double-stranded rna genome segments. the eel virus had a similar polypeptide profile to strain ab ipnv but differences between the two viruses in the migration of genome segments ...19836854276
immunosuppressive effect of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus on rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss).the infectivity of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) for rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) mononuclear leukocyte subpopulations was investigated to determine the mechanisms of immunosuppression caused by the virus. ipnv was recovered from nylon wool-adherent, surface immunoglobulin (ig)-positive leukocytes of head kidney, spleen and peripheral blood collected from virus-inoculated fish with higher titers than non-adherent, ig-negative cells. non-adherent cell population showed mitoge ...19902177807

thermal inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis and infectious pancreatic necrosis viruses.a plaque assay was used to follow the inactivation kinetics of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in cell culture media at various temperatures. inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in a visceral organ slurry was compared with that in culture media.19817235707
detection of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus using an inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.an inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect infectious pancreatic necrosis (ipn) virus. in this assay the presence of virus was determined by measuring the decrease in titer of a known antiserum after incubation with a sample suspected to contain virus. the titer of the antiserum was measured with an indirect enzyme-linked assay. compared to the double antibody sandwich method this assay required fewer reagents (only one anti-ipn serum was required). this assay was also se ...19863027134
molecular filtration for recovery of waterborne viruses of fish.the effectiveness of tangential flow filtration (tff) for the recovery of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (ihnv) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (ipnv) from large volumes of water was evaluated. in laboratory studies, virus recovery from ihnv-seeded water following concentration by tff was approximately 13%. however, the addition of 0.1 and 1% fetal bovine serum to deionized water stabilized the virus, increasing virus recoveries to 95%. the addition of 0.03 and 0.3% beef extrac ...19883137867
isolation and identification of trout viruses in south africa.a total of 3,257 samples of diseased rainbow trout were examined for the presence of viruses from january 1983 to december 1987. a virus closely related to the vr 299 serotype of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus was isolated from 13 cases. an additional 7,228 viscera samples from asymptomatic fish were collected during the same period and a similar virus was isolated from 2 sites. during the same period 2,892 ovarian fluid samples were collected and a similar virus was isolated from 1 site. ...19883143095
effect of ammonium chloride on the multiplication of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus.the multiplication of ipnv in chse cells is inhibited by ammonium chloride. this inhibition is complete if nh4cl is added early in the infective cycle. immunofluorescence analysis shows that nh4cl reduces the number of virus producing cells and thus suggests it may act by inhibiting virus internalization. in addition, nh4cl can produce partial inhibition of ipnv multiplication if added later in the replicative cycle. analysis of 3h-uridine incorporation into viral rna shows that this later effec ...19883348747
synthesis of the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus polyprotein, detection of a virus-encoded protease, and fine structure mapping of genome segment a coding regions.full-length and truncated genome segment a-specific infectious pancreatic necrosis virus cdna was subcloned into plasmid transcription vectors, and runoff transcripts were produced in vitro. these transcripts were translated in cell-free rabbit reticulocyte lysates and the translation products were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. virus-specific polypeptides were gel purified and mapped by partial proteolysis with n-chlorosuccinimide and sodium dodecyl sulfa ...19873316706
