| efficient transfer of interferon-induced virus resistance between human cells. | the rate of development of interferon-induced virus resistance in a mixture of two human cell types (u and wish) is determined by the cell type (wish) in the mixture which responds first. this phenomenon has been shown with two types of interferon assay procedure, and with both vesicular stomatitis virus and sindbis virus. the transfer of virus resistance from one human cell (wish) to another (u) (homospecific transfer) is much more efficient than the transfer from mouse l cells to wish cells (h ... | 1978 | 214520 |
| the entry into host cells of sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus and sendai virus. | we have compared the mechanisms of entry into host cells of three enveloped viruses: sendai virus, vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) and sindbis virus. virus entry by membrane fusion should antigenically modify the surface of a newly infected cell in such a way that it will be killed by anti-viral antibody and complement. on the other hand, virus entry by a mechanism involving uptake by the cell of the whole virion should not make cells sensitive to antibody and complement. as expected, cells new ... | 1978 | 215317 |
| alphaviruses in peninusular malaysia: i. virus isolations and animal serology. | a survey of the activity of three alphaviruses (sindbis, getah and chikungunya) in peninsular malaysia was conducted between 1962 and 1970. serum samples were examined from 3,917 vertebrates representing a wide variety of wild and domestic animals throughout the peninsula for hemagglutination-inhibiting and neutralizing antibodies. a total of 548,939 mosquitoes were collected from different habitats, including jungle, rural, suburban and urban areas, and the majority of the females taken were ex ... | 1978 | 34888 |
| amino-terminal sequence analysis of the structural proteins of sindbis virus. | the structural proteins of sindbis virus, an enveloped virus which belongs to the togavirus family, have been subjected to automated edman degradation using improved techniques. extensive nh2-terminal sequences of about 50 residues were determined for each of the two membrane glycoproteins. in both cases the nh2 terminus of the molecule was found to be similar in composition to typical water-soluble proteins. the viral capsid protein was found to have a blocked alpha-amino group. this is consist ... | 1978 | 275841 |
| endoribonuclease activity associated with animal rna viruses. | a specific endoribonucleolytic activity was detected when detergent-lysed vesicular stomatitis of sendai virus was incubated with the precursor to escherichia coli trna tyr. the cleavage products produced and the characteristics of the reaction were similar to those previously reported for human kb cell rnase nu. like rnase nu, the virus-associated reaction generates 5'-hydroxyl and 3'-phosphate groups at the cleavage sites. at protein concentrations similar to those used to test vesicular stoma ... | 1978 | 202740 |

| priming increases the amount of interferon mrna in poly(ri).poly(rc)-treated l cells. | priming by mouse interferon pre-treatment resulted in an accumulation of interferon mrna in poly(ri).poly(rc)-treated l cells, starting early in the period of interferon synthesis. on electrophoresis, the priming activity of an interferon preparation co-migrated with the antiviral activity, which suggests identity of the functional principle(s) for these activities. | 1979 | 94345 |
| h-2-linked control of cytotoxic t-cell responsiveness to alphavirus infection. presence of h-2dk during differentiation and stimulation converts stem cells of low responder genotype to t cells of responder phenotype. | secondary tc cells generated against sindbis virus (sin) are restricted to dk. all other h-2k or d regions tested show low specific responsiveness. f1 hybrids between low and high responders show dominance of responsiveness but lack complementation. when balb/c (kdiddd) low responder fetal liver stem cells were allowed to mature in irradiated high responder recipients c3h.oh (kdiddk) a response to dk plus sin could be generated with tc cells of balb/c origin. this result, together with the failu ... | 1979 | 107264 |
| [comparative antiviral and interferonogenic activity of natural and synthetic interferon inducers in vitro and in vivo]. | biological activities of the rna replicative form of phage f2, a natural interferon inductor and poly-i -- poly-c, a synthetic polyribonucleotide complex were studied comparatively. differences in the comparative interferonogenic and antiviral activity of the inductors were as dependent on the type of the cell system. it was shown that deae-dextran increased the interferon-inducing activity of rff2 in the cell culture by 4 to 8 times. the dynamics of the interferonogenic and antiviral activity o ... | 1979 | 110250 |
| regulation of the interferon system: evidence that vero cells have a genetic defect in interferon production. | a clone of vero cells was isolated and shown to be totally unable to synthesize interferon and insensitive to the toxic effect of poly(ri).poly(rc) treatment. cells of this clone and mouse l cells were fused by treatment with polyethylene glycol or sendai virus. hybrid cell clones were isolated following selection in medium containing hypoxanthine, thymidine and ouabain. the hybrids were sensitive to the antiviral effect of poly(ri).poly(rc) and synthesized mouse, but not primate, interferon. i ... | 1979 | 113494 |
| comparison of the structural properties of sindbis and semliki forest virus nucleocapsids. | the envelope spikes of sindbis and semliki forest virus are arranged in a t = 4 icosahedral surface lattice and, by deduction, it has been suggested that the nucleocapsid proteins are similarly arranged. after treatment of the virions with a non-ionic detergent the released nucleocapsids sediment in sucrose gradients at about 160s and 150s and have densities in cscl of 1.42 g/ml and 1.425 g/ml, respectively, for sindbis and semliki forest virus. at ph 6.0 sindbis nucleocapsids do not contract li ... | 1979 | 118237 |
| adoptive transfer of cross-protection among alphaviruses in mice requires allogeneic stimulation. | cell-mediated (t-effector cell) immunity is proposed as playing the major role in cross-protection between sindbis and semliki forest viruses, which are alphaviruses that do not elicit cross-neutralizing antibodies. in adoptive transfer experiments, t-cells from spleens of sindbis virus-immunized mice were found to confer specific cross-protection to semliki forest virus upon recipient mice. this cross-protection was observed in the outbred icr strain of mice and when transfers were made between ... | 1979 | 157981 |
| inhibition of interferon action by chinoform. | chinoform, iodochlorhydrozyquin, was found to suppress the antiviral action of interferon. chick embryo fibroblast cells treated with the mixture of interferon and chinoform were more sensitive to sindbis virus infection than cells treated with interferon alone. no evidence for a direct inactivation of interferon molecule by chinoform was obtained. treatment with chinoform of cells previously exposed to interferon also removed a cellular antiviral state induced by interferon. chinoform suppresse ... | 1979 | 158703 |
| [kyzylagach virus (family togaviridae, genus alphaviruses), a new arbovirus isolated from culex modestus mosquitoes trapped in the azerbaijani ssr]. | a strain of leiv 65a virus was isolated in 1969 from culex modestus mosquitoes collected in the kyzylagach preserve, the azerbaijan ssr, in a colony of ciconiiformes birds. investigations of the antigenic properties of this virus by the complement fixation and neutralization tests as well as by electron microscopy showed it to belong to alphaviruses of the togaviridae family. kyzylagach virus had one-way relations with sindbis virus. some biological and biophysical-biochemical properties of the ... | 1979 | 159565 |
| effect of sindbis birus infection on survival of mice in the cold. | mice infected with 10(9) plaque-forming units (pfu) of sindbis virus 9 h prior to exposure to cold (5 degrees c) died more rapidly after entering the new environment than saline-injected control mice. the early deaths occurred in animals singly housed without bedding and only when food was withheld. because deaths could be prevented by providing the infected animals with food, it was concluded that metabolic alteractions resulting from the virus infection were responsible for the deaths. as evid ... | 1979 | 159887 |
| novel antiviral activity found in the media of sindbis virus-persistently infected mosquito (aedes albopictus) cell cultures. | aedes albopictus (mosquito) cells persistently infected with sindbis virus for a period of 6 months release into the medium a low-molecular-weight material capable of specifically reducing the yields of sindbis virus during the "acute phase" of infection in mosquito cells. the antiviral activity was produced in detectable levels at 3 days after infection, and its concentration in the extracellular medium increased thereafter. the antiviral activity was inactivated by treatment with the enzyme pr ... | 1979 | 34732 |
| evidence for covalent attachment of fatty acids to sindbis virus glycoproteins. | selective binding of lipid to glycoprotein was detected when [3h]palmitate-labeled sindbis virus particles or viral-infected cells were disrupted by heating with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and glycoproteins were isolated by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate/10% polyacrylamide gels. the smaller glycoprotein (e2) retained 2 to 3 times more labeled lipid than did the larger ei glycoprotein, and the cell-associated glycoprotein precursor (pe2) bound even less lipid. no lipid was associated with ... | 1979 | 287008 |
| eukaryotic mrna cap binding protein: purification by affinity chromatography on sepharose-coupled m7gdp. | a 24,000-dalton polypeptide that binds strongly and can be specifically crosslinked to the 5'-terminal cap structure m7gpppn in eukaryotic mrnas has been detected in protein synthesis initiation factor preparations [proc. natl. acad. sci. usa (1978) 75, 4843--4847]. this polypeptide has been purified to apparent homogeneity by one chromatographic passage through an affinity resin prepared by coupling the levulinic acid o2',3'-acetal of m7gdp to ah-sepharose 4b. translation, in hela cell extracts ... | 1979 | 291969 |
| interactions between immune cells and antibody in protection from fatal sindbis virus encephalitis. | transfer of anti-sindbis virus serum, obtained from peripherally inoculated donors, protected mice from an otherwise fatal intracerebral infection with neuroadapted sindbis virus (nsv). f(ab)'2 preparations of serum were not protective, indicating that the fc piece of immunoglobulin g was important. complement-depleted animals were protected with anti-nsv serum, ruling out as essential the complement-fixing function of the fc piece. the presence of protective antibody correlated with the ability ... | 1979 | 311344 |
| in vitro heterologous cytotoxicity by t effector cells from mice immunized with sindbis virus. | an in vitro correlate of cell-mediated cross-protection among alpha-viruses was demonstrated by cytotoxicity of sindbis-immune spleen cells from mice to both sindbis and semliki forest virus (sfv)-infected target cells. this cytotoxicity was shown to be mediated by the t cell population of the spleen and was independent of the presence of macrophages or b cells. the time when the level of the lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity (lmc) to sfv-infected cells was maximal coincides with the time when im ... | 1979 | 314471 |
| cross protection among togaviruses in nude mice and littermates. | after immunization with sindbis virus, t-cell deficient nude mice, compared to normal littermates, were equally protected against challenge with sindbis virus. however, the nude mice showed about one-tenth the protection observed with normal littermates after challenge with semliki forest virus at a dose of 100 ld50. this consistent with our previous interpretation that sensitized t-cell populations play a major role in cross protection between the two togaviruses. the remaining low level of spe ... | 1979 | 316446 |
| haemolysis by two alphaviruses: semliki forest and sindbis virus. | purified preparations of semliki forest (sfv) and sindbis virus haemolyse red blood cells from several species of animals and birds. the optimal haemolysis by sfv was obtained at ph 5.8 with 1-day-old chick erythrocytes incubated at room temperature. considerable variation in haemolytic activity was observed between different virus preparations purified by different methods. the haemolytic activity of sfv was inhibited by antisera against whole virus or isolated envelope proteins but not with an ... | 1979 | 39116 |
| the effect of ribonuclease on the replicative forms of sindbis virus rna. | three species of double-stranded rna, designated rf i, rf ii, and rf iii in order of decreasing size (25), are produced by ribonuclease treatment of extracts of chicken embryo cells infected for 6 hours with sindbis virus. only one class of replicative form rna is present in extracts not treated with ribonuclease; this class contains some molecules which can be enzymatically cleaved to produce the other two replicative forms. at a low level of enzyme (0.001 microgram/ml) the major species obtain ... | 1979 | 39537 |
| quantitative and rapid assays of togaviruses by immunofluorescence. | for the quantitative assay of selected togaviruses, suspensions of bhk cells were inoculated with virus and grown in spinner cultures. at intervals, dependent on the growth characteristics of the viruses, about 10(3) cells were centrifuged on to microscope slides and then stained with fluorescent antibody. for rapid demonstration (2--3 hr) of specific viral antigens, virus was bound in successive dilutions onto microscope slides and stained. binding of specific anti-virus antibodies in both meth ... | 1979 | 40420 |
| detection of antibodies to alphaviruses by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | cell culture-derived antigens detected antibodies to alphaviruses in human sera with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. results correlated with those from hemagglutination inhibition and neutralization tests. | 1979 | 393723 |
| [characteristics of the response of mice with temporary immunodepression to the administration of live or inactivated vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis]. | mice with immunity defects caused by administration of cyclophosphane were inoculated with an inactivated vaccine or langat virus (tp-21 strain) considered to be an approximate model of the vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis. in mice with depressed immune response, the asymptomatic infection caused by langat virus turns into acute form and encephalitis with a fatal outcome develops in 86--100%. pre-treatment with inactivated tick-borne encephalitis vaccine did not protect the animals with t ... | 1979 | 217179 |
| complete exchange of viral cholesterol. | the exchange of the cholesterol in the membranes of two enveloped viruses, sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus, with cholesterol present in lipid vesicles and in serum was measured. biosynthetically labeled viral cholesterol underwent spontaneous and complete transfer to both lipid vesicles and to serum. the rate with which and the extent to which this process occurred were very similar for these two viruses. during incubation with lipid vesicles in excess, half of the viral cholesterol ... | 1979 | 217416 |
| host defenses in herpes simplex infections of the nervous system: effect of antibody on disease and viral spread. | balb/c mice passively immunized with antibody to herpes simplex virus type 1 and challenged in the footpad with 10(5.7) plaque-forming units of herpes simplex virus type 1 were shown to be protected from neurological disease and death compared with control mice treated with normal serum or antibody to sindbis virus. one hundred percent of untreated mice had virus recoverable from dorsal root ganglia by 48 h after infection. whereas amputation of the infected limb at 48 h had no effect, antibody ... | 1979 | 217828 |
| cellular interactions determine the rate and degree of interferon action. | the rate and degree of interferon action on mouse embryo (me), mouse l, and human amnion (wish) cells were found to be dependent on the cell density. the most precipitous drop in interferon action occurred just below cell confluency. this effect was shown with both vesicular stomatitis virus and sindbis virus and at both constant and variable input multiplicities of infection. at both "high" and "low" cell densities, cells attached to a surface develop viral resistance faster than suspended cell ... | 1979 | 217833 |
| lipid-saccharide intermediates and glycoprotein biosynthesis in a temperature-sensitive chinese hamster cell mutant. | the characterization of a temperature-sensitive chinese hamster cell mutant has been continued with the aim of localizing the apparent defect in glycoprotein synthesis (tenner et al., '77). although the mutation is lethal, a demonstration of the ability of the mutant cells to support proliferation of mengo virus at the nonpermissive temperature indicates that the general metabolic processes of the cells remain intact at a time when glycoprotein synthesis is severely depressed. a quantitative stu ... | 1979 | 217883 |
| absence of interferon production in a newly established human cell line. | a cell line established from human embryonic lung, hel-r66, was demonstrated to be highly susceptible to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, vaccinia virus, newcastle disease virus (ndv), japanese encephalitis virus (jev), western equine encephalitis (wee) virus, sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv), and rabies virus. the maximal yields of ndv, jev, wee virus, and rabies virus in this cell line exceeded by 2--4 logs those in control human embryonic lung cells. inability of this cell l ... | 1979 | 218901 |
| restricted replication of two alphaviruses in ricin-resistant mouse l cells with altered glycosyltransferase activities. | two mouse l cell variant lines (cl 3 and cl 6) selected for resistance to the toxic plant lectin ricin were restricted in their ability to replicate the two alphaviruses sindbis virus and semliki forest virus. cl 3 cells have been shown to exhibit increased cmp-sialic acid:glycoprotein sialyltransferase and gm3 synthetase activities, whereas cl 6 cells have been shown to contain decreased udpgalactose:glycoprotein galactosyltransferase and udp-n-acetylglucosamine:glycoprotein n-acetylglucosaminy ... | 1979 | 219229 |

| assay of human interferon in vero cells by several methods. | four methods for the assay of human interferon in vero cells were compared based on the inhibition of viral cytopathic effect (cpe) in tubes, the inhibition of cpe in microplates, the reduction of plaques, and the inhibition of quantitative hemadsorption. for inhibition of cpe, sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, poliovirus type 2, and vaccinia virus were used for challenge. in the plaque reduction method, sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, and poliovirus were employed, and newcas ... | 1979 | 222803 |
| dimethyl sulfoxide enhancement of phlebotomus fever virus plaque formation. | dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso)incorporated into an agar overlay containing deae-dextran enhanced plaque formation in vero cells by naples sandfly fever virus passaged in mouse brain or vero cell cultures. no plaques were visible when dmso was used without the deae-dextran, some plaques were rarely visible (less than 0.5mm) when deae-dextran was used without the dmso, and up to 10-fold more plaques were clearly visible (0.5-1.5 mm) when both chemicals were used. the combined enhancing effect of dmso a ... | 1979 | 223461 |
| glycopeptides of murine leukemia viruses. i. comparison of two ecotropic viruses. | the glycopeptides obtained by pronase digestion of two ecotropic strains of murine leukemia virus (mulv) were compared by gel filtration. four different glycopeptide size classes, designated g(1), g(2), g(3), and g(4), with molecular weights of approximately 5,100, 2,900, 2,200, and 1,500, respectively, were shown to be associated with rauscher mulv virions grown in jls-v9 cells. various sugar precursors, including glucosamine, galactose, fucose, and mannose were incorporated into g(1) and g(2), ... | 1979 | 228050 |
| [viral interaction with stimulated and nonstimulated human tonsil cells]. | interferon induction and the course of infection with paramyxovirus (newcastle disease virus) and alphaviruses (venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, sindbis, semliki forest viruses) in human tonsillar cell cultures were studied in comparison with continuous burkitt lymphoma, raji, and nawalva cells. the virus inducers stimulated production of dozens and hundreds iu50/ml of interferon in tonsillar cell cultures. no virus replication could be detected either in intact or phytohemagglutinin-stimula ... | 1979 | 230646 |
| the effect of interferon induction on complement level in rat. | relatively high levels of interferon were achieved in rat sera by intracardial inoculation with sindbis virus followed 15 min later by intraperitoneal application of dimethylsulfoxide. at intervals when interferon titres reached the maximum, the levels of complement were decreased as compared with the control group of rats. single administration of dimethylsulfoxide did neither induce interferon nor influence the complement levels in sera of rats of the dobrá voda breed tested. similar results w ... | 1979 | 230679 |

| membrane biogenesis. in vitro cleavage, core glycosylation, and integration into microsomal membranes of sindbis virus glycoproteins. | sindbis virus 26s rna has been translated in a cell-free protein-synthesizing system from rabbit reticulocytes. when the system was supplemented with edta-stripped dog pancreas microsomal membranes, the following results were obtained: (a) complete translation of 26s rna, resulting in the production, by endoproteolytic cleavage, of three polypeptides that are apparently identical to those forms of c, pe2, and e1 that are synthesized in vivo by infected host cells during a 3-min pulse with [35s]m ... | 1979 | 422651 |
| carbohydrate structure of sindbis virus glycoprotein e2 from virus grown in hamster and chicken cells. | sindbis virus was used as a probe to examine glycosylation processes in two different species of cultured cells. parallel studies were carried out analyzing the carbohydrate added to sindbis glycoprotein e2 when the virus was grown in chicken embryo cells and bhk cells. the pronase glycopeptides of sindbis glycoprotein e2 were purified by a combination of ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. four glycopeptides were resolved, ranging in molecular weight from 1,800 to 2,700. structures ... | 1979 | 430605 |
| oligonucleotide mapping studies of standard and defective sindbis virus rna. | oligonucleotide mapping studies of the rna from standard and defective interfering particles of sindbis virus demonstrate that 3'- and 5'-terminal regions of the genome are conserved in the defective rnas. these studies also suggest that defective rnas contain multiple deletions. | 1979 | 430611 |
| ribosome-protected fragments from sindbis 42-s and 26-s rnas. | sindbis virus 42-s and 26-s rnas labeled with 32p were purified from infected chick embryo fibroblasts. the rna's were incubated in the presence of a wheat germ cell-free translating system under conditions that yielded 40-s and 80-s initiation complexes. after digestion with rnase a, ribosome-protected fragments were isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and compared with respect to number, size, cap content and oligonucleotide composition. the two rna species yielded several fragments ... | 1979 | 436845 |
| biological activity of sera obtained by hyperimmunizing rabbits with interferon from mouse l cells. | rabbits immunized with interferon from mouse l cells for long periods of time produced interferon-neutralizing antibodies with titers from 1:80 to 1,2000. the anti-interferon sera also contained antibodies against antigens contaminating the interferon preparations such as albumin, bovine gamma-globulin, chicken albumin, extract from l cells, and sindbis virus antigens. some sera also displayed cytotoxic activity against cells of transplantable murine leukemia. these antibodies could be removed b ... | 1979 | 444043 |
| serologic examination of human population in south moravia (czechoslovakia) on the presence of antibodies to arboviruses of the alfavirus, flavivirus, turlock groups and bunyamwera supergroup. | a statistically representative group of human population from the south moravian region (cssr) was examined on the presence of antibodies against the following arboviruses: lednice, sindbis, tick-borne encephalitis, west nile, tahyna and calovo. the ascertained absence of antibodies to the lednice virus is an evidence that at present this virus is of no epidemiological importance in the region studied. no antibodies to sindbis, west nile and calovo viruses were demonstrated. 17.8 to 42.0% of ant ... | 1979 | 447128 |

| absence of a cleavable signal sequence in sindbis virus glycoprotein pe2. | partial nh2-terminal sequence analysis has been performed on some products that result from the translation of 26 s mrna of sindbis virus either in vivo or in vitro. in vivo products were obtained after pulse-labeling of virus-infected cells. in vitro products were obtained after cell-free translation either in the absence or presence of microsomal membrane vesicles from dog pancreas. the sequence data indicate that the selective translocation across the microsomal membrane required for a distin ... | 1979 | 500711 |
| interferon induction by viruses. ii. sindbis virus: interferon induction requires one-quarter of the genome--genes g and a. | we have measured the amounts of interferon formed by chick cells 'aged' in vitro in response to different amounts of infectious wild-type sindbis virus. our results suggest that one plaque-forming unit is enough to induce maximum interferon formation. with higher m.o.i. the yield of interferon is less. to inactivate the interferon-inducing activity of sindbis virus, four times more u.v.-radiation was needed than to inactivate the infectivity of the virus. this suggests that only 25% of the virus ... | 1979 | 501335 |

| establishment of persistent infection in bhk-21 cells by temperature-sensitive mutants of sindbis virus. | twelve temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of sindbis were examined for their ability to establish persistent infection in bhk-21 cells at 39 degrees c. five of these mutants were able to initiate colony formation in infected cultures, which followed an extensive c.p.e. two of the mutants were able to establish persistent infections which survived beyond the fifth cell passage p.i. the ability to initiate colony formation was correlated with low reversion of the ts mutation, or with ability to in ... | 1979 | 521804 |
| virulence of temperature-sensitive mutants of sindbis virus in neonatal mice. | the virulence in neonatal mice of temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of sindbis virus was determined by measurements of mean survival time and 50% lethal dose after intracerebral injection. for 11 ts mutants, mean survival time was determined by the ribonucleic acid (rna) phenotype, rna+ mutants killing the mice sooner than rna- mutants for the same titer of virus injected. mortality caused by seven ts mutants was, with one exception, correlated with the proportion of revertants recovered after ... | 1979 | 528057 |
| sindbis virus rna replication. i. properties of the 38s rna species. | four species of single-stranded virus rna (49s, 38s, 33s and 26s) were detected in chick embryo fibroblasts infected with sindbis virus. the relative amounts of these rnas were unaffected by the m.o.i. there was also no significant difference in the molar proportions of the four rna species when purified virion rna was used as the inoculum. these findings suggest that the 38s and 33s species represent products of the transcription of non-defective virion rnas. kinetic analyses of rna synthesis i ... | 1979 | 528982 |
