two new isolants of infectious bronchitis virus with polyvalent immunogenicity.the immunizing capacity of two new field isolants of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was tested in vivo. chickens vaccinated with either isolant resisted challenge with 6 serotypes of ibv, including some of the types most commonly isolated from chickens. the two new isolants, identified herein as california "g" and california "s," appear to be immunologically different from each other and from the other 6 types tested. the polyvalent immunogenicity of both g and s is noteworthy, and pote ...1975168851
identification of infectious bronchitis virus by interference with the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus. waxing and waning of interference.the massachusetts and the connecticut types of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were identified by interference in embryonating chicken eggs (ece) with the production of hemagglutinin by the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus (ndv). this interference test appears to be specific because the above interference was eliminated by adding type-specific anti-ibv serum to the ibv-ndv system; however, interference was not detectable when fowlpox virus (fpv) and infectious laryngotracheitis virus (lt ...1975168852
serotyping of avian infectious bronchitis viruses by the virus-neutralization test.the antigenic relationships of 12 strains of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were evaluated by a virus-neutralization procedure similar to that used in typing human rhinoviruses. such a procedure consists of reciprocal neutralization tests performed by reacting 32-320 eid50 or plaque-forming units of virus with 20 antibody units of antiserum. eight serologic groups were identified by chicken embryo assay, and 4 by plaque-reduction (90%). in general, serologic groupings were not distinct but re ...1975169804

comparison of a microneutralization test in cell culture and virus neutralization test in embryonated eggs for determining infectious bronchitis virus antibodies.a microneutralization test (mnt) system utilizing cytopathic effect end points was effective in determing neutralization indexes for infectious bronchitis virus antibodies. the system is reproducible within 1 index unit at the 95% level of probability. comparison of the mnt to tests in eggs resulted in a positive correlation (b =0.81), which was significant (p greater than 0.01). the quantitative dose-response relationship of the mnt is linear (p greater than 0.005), with the 95% prediction limi ...1976176174
heterogeneity of infectious bronchitis virus grown in eggs.egg-grown infectious bronchitis virus, strain beaudette, was concentrated and centrifuged on sucrose density gradients to separate the virus into five peaks with densities of 1.144, 1.160, 1.172, 1.191 and 1.218 g/cm3. all peaks retained infectivity, complement fixation activity and were labelled with 3h-uridine. morphologically the densest peak consisted of very large virus particles and amorphous material, the other peaks consisted of mainly intact particles although small differences in size ...1976176969
identification of seven isolants of infectious bronchitis virus by interference with the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus.seven isolants of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) interfered with the development of hemagglutinins (ha) by the b-1 isolant of newcaslte disease virus (ndv) in eggs previously inoculated with these ibv isolants. the i50 [defined as the minimum amount of ibv needed to produce, upon inoculation in embryonating chicken eggs (ece), ha interference in 50% of these ece reioculated 10 hr later with 10(2,41 eid50 (ha) of the b-1 strain of ndv] was less than 1 eid50. the interference was considered spe ...1976176988
new strains of infectious bronchitis virus isolated in maine.twelve ibv isolants from diseased chickens in maine were studied by serum-neutralization tests in chicken tracheal culture. six isolants were neutralized by mass-type antisera. the serum-neutralizing characteristics of six other isolants from vaccine breaks differed from any of the standard ibv viruses and appear to comprise three new strains, maine 209, 212,and 246. the data provide additional evidence that strains of ibv responsible for disease probably vary from region to region and that the ...1976176989
cross-protection studies with a holland strain (noblis h-52) of infectious bronchitis virus. 1976176990
immunity to infectious bronchitis virus from spray vaccination with derivatives of a holland strain.study was made of the protection of chickens from spray vaccination with different modifications of a holland (h) strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). noted in each trial were the virus-serum-neutralizing antibody titers induced and the virulence of the vaccine virus at different passage levels. protection against respiratory signs was good from challenge with a homologous virus serotype as well as with 5 heterologous ibv isolates. this occurred from vaccinating day-old chicks possessing ...1976176991
the isolation and some biological properties of a variant avian infectious bronchitis virus.a virus isolated from a respiratory disease in chickens was identified as infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). by serum neutralisation tests the virus was shown to be serologically distinct from the massachusetts type but to possess a one-way relationship with the connecticut type. experimentally, it caused a relatively mild respiratory disease in baby chicks. vaccination of young chicks with h-120 massachusetts ibv vaccine afforded a high degree of protection against challenge with the isolate. s ...1976179183
vaccination and revaccination with a holland (h) strain of infectious bronchitis virus.one-day-old chickens possessing maternally derived immunity to massachusetts-type infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were vaccinated by the eyedrop route with a holland (h) ibv strain of the massachusetts type. vaccination was done with the 72nd and 92nd passages in chicken embryos. attenuation of the virus was done in the authors' laboratory. four weeks postvaccination the immunity was challenged with 8 different ibv serotypes. a broad spectrum of protection from respiratory signs was obtained i ...1976180959

[the influence of infectious bronchitis virus on egg production, fertility, hatchability and mortality rate in chickens (author's transl)].in 35 flocks comprising almost 100,000 white plymouth rock birds producing hatching eggs, infectious bronchitis (ib) caused a decline in production which appeared to be connected with the age of the birds, when the outbreak started (table i). in outbreaks of ib in pullets 3-4 weeks before they are ready to lay there is a considerable risk of delay of production and a generally too low yield (fig 1). egg laying birds, 25-34 weeks of age, suffered a drop in production from 20-80% (on an average 40 ...1976183182
serologic differences between strains of infectious bronchitis virus from new zealand, australia, and the united states.the antigenic relationships of strains of infectious bronchitis virus from new zealand, australia, and the united states were evaluated by a virus-neutralization procedure similar to that used in typing human rhinoviruses. the four previously described new zealand serotypes were antigenically distinct from all the other strains tested.1976183648
organ culture studies on the efficiency of infection of chicken tissues with avian infectious bronchitis virus.long-term organ cultures of a range of tissues collected from specific pathogen-free chickens were employed to determine their susceptibility, and their capacity for subsequent virus production, following inoculation with avian infectious bronchitis (aib) virus. when inoculated with approximately 2-0 log10 median ciliostatic doses (cd50) of a classical highly egg-adapted vaccine strain (h120) of aib virus, 9 of 23 tissues were shown to be susceptible, namely the nasal turbinates, trachea, air sa ...1976183805
electron microscope observations on the entry of avian infectious bronchitis virus into susceptible cells.infectious bronchitis virus was observed to enter cells of chicken chorioallantoic membrane by viropexis. there was no support for the suggestion that entry took place by fusion of viral and plasma membranes. the results of electron microscopy showed that virus attachment occurred both at 4 degrees and at 37 degrees c. viropexis was not observed until the preparations were warmed. similar results were obtained using chicken kidney cells. quantitative data obtained from a plaque counting system e ...1976187152

the polypeptide composition of avain infectious bronchitis virus particles.egg grown avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) centrifuged on sucrose density gradients was found to consist of a major virus peak of density 1.17 to 1.18 g/cm(3). three different ibv strains were examined and no morphological differences were detected between virus particles of different densities or from different strains. the polypeptides of the different density virus particles from the three ibv strains were analysed on polyacrylamide gels. in all cases 7 polypeptides were observed, alth ...1977200202
polypeptides of the surface projections and the ribonucleoprotein of avian infectious bronchitis virus.purified avian infectious bronchitis virus was digested with bromelain (0.7 mg/ml), and the surface projections were removed. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the polypeptides from these bromelain-treated particles showed that vp1, vp2, and vp5 were missing from the seven polypeptides. vp1 to vp7, that were present in untreated virus preparations. milder bromelain treatment (0.07 mg/ml) left visible surface projections and polypeptides comprising vp1 and vp2 intact, but removed vp5. thus, t ...1977201778
the effect of ascorbic acid on infection chick-embryo ciliated tracheal organ cultures by coronavirus.chick embryo tracheal organ cultures showed increased resistance to infection by a coronavirus after exposure to ascorbate, while chick respiratory epithelium and allantois-on-shell preparations showed no increase in resistance to infection by an influenza virus or a paramyxovirus.1978205194
the purification and polypeptide composition of avian infectious bronchitis virus.purification of egg-grown infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation alone, or sucrose density gradient centrifugation plus ph 8.0 treatment, concanavalin a precipitation or metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, failed to produce any differences in the virus polypeptide pattern following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sds(sds-page). sds-page of purified ibv on 7.5% acrylamide gels separated 16 polypeptides which were detectable by s ...1977205761
stability of live, freeze-dried virus vaccines.stability of live, freeze-dried vaccines is a major factor for successful vaccinations. vaccines may be stored at -20 degrees c or less for long periods without loss of activity and this storage does not affect stability during subsequent storage. storage in the refrigerator for long periods is harmless for certain very stable vaccines such as influenza, rubella, ndv, marek's. other vaccines, such as ibv, show a significant loss in titer after 2 years. the routine use of an accelerated stability ...19761030427

the ribonucleic acid of infectious bronchitis virus.analysis of the nucleic acid of infectious bronchitis virus by sds polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed an rna of molecular weight 9.0 times 10-6 daltons. the rna was shown to have a sedimentation coefficient of 50.19751119945
growth comparisons of avian infectious bronchitis virus strains in organ cultures of chicken tissues.six strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were used to inoculate explants of a range of 15 chicken tissues and virus growth kinetics observed over a period of 96 hours thereafter. similar patterns of virus production were given by all 6 strains from explants of any particular tissue such as the nasal turbinates, trachea, lung, air sacs and oviduct. nevertheless, significant differences in behaviour between strains were noted for different tissues and in the efficiency with which cer ...1978206229
response to several avian respiratory viruses as affected by infectious bursal disease virus.after being inoculated with the infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) at one day of age, specific-pathogen-free chickens were inoculated with either newcastle disease virus (ndv), infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), or infectious laryngotracheitis virus (iltv). their immunity was challenged 2-3 weeks later with homologous virus, and antibody titers were determined for iltv and ibv. several studies were made to determine the effects of ibdv on the development of persistent or chronic virus infect ...1978206256
ribonucleoprotein-like structures from coronavirus particles.the structure of the ribonucleoprotein (rnp) complex of three coronaviruses was investigated. a single-stranded helix of diam. 14 to 16 nm and up to 320 nm in length was released from disrupted particles of human coronavirus strain 229e and mouse hepatitis virus strain 3 after incubation in mild conditions. the helical complexes appeared to be composed of globular subunits with long axes of 5 to 7 nm surrounding a hollow core of diam. 3 to 4 nm. the complexes were shown to be sensitive to both p ...1978207820

identification of two new polypeptides encoded by mrna5 of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus.the second smallest subgenomic messenger rna, mrna5, of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus includes in its "5' unique region" two separate open reading frames (5a and 5b), whose coding function has not so far been established, and thus it may represent a dicistronic messenger rna. we report here that two polypeptides with the sizes expected for the 5a and 5b products can be synthesised by in vitro translation of a single artificial mrna containing both the 5a and 5b orfs. to establish w ...19921309280
coronavirus ibv-induced membrane fusion occurs at near-neutral ph.the lysosomotropic agent nh4cl caused a reduction of 80-95% in the number of chick kidney (ck) cells and vero cells infected by infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) strain beaudette, as determined by immunofluorescence at the end of the first replication cycle. inhibition only occurred when nh4cl was present during the first 2 h after infection. syncytium formation was studied during replication of ibv-beaudette in vero cells. some cell-cell fusion occurred at ph 7.0 and ph 6.5 but it was optimal a ...19921309994

rapid detection and identification of avian infectious bronchitis virus.a rapid and sensitive method for the detection and unambiguous typing of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is described. rna was isolated from ibv-infected allantoic fluid and was transcribed into cdna. this cdna was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. the polymerase chain reaction products were subsequently analyzed on an agarose gel. the presence of ibv-specific rna in the allantoic fluid then allowed the amplification of a 438-bp dna fragment from the nucleocapsid (n) gene. for the ty ...19921310335

immune electron microscopy of avian infectious bronchitis virus serotypes.an immune electron microscopy agglutination technique in which emphasis is placed upon the importance of antigen-antibody equivalence has been developed as a possible method for the serotyping of avian infectious bronchitis viruses. the connecticut and massachusetts 41 serotypes were used as a model system. stock virus concentrations were standardized by physical particle counts of virions sedimented directly onto electron microscope specimen grids. suspensions containing approximately 150 virio ...1978209056
vaccination against infectious bronchitis and the immunosuppressive effects of infectious bursal disease.an immunosuppressive effect was demonstrated in chickens which were infected with infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) early in life and prior to or shortly after vaccination with infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). this effect was evident by an increased susceptibility to respiratory tract infection with ibv and reduced virus-serum neutralizing antibody levels. chickens which were hatched from dams susceptible to infectious bursal disease (ibd) were less responsive to ibv immunization attempts ...1978209433
interaction of aflatoxin with infectious bursal disease virus infection in young chickens.young white leghorn chickens fed 2.5 microgram of aflatoxin (afl) per g of diet from hatching until 4 weeks old and infected with infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) at 3 weeks old had significantly higher mortality and more severely depressed body weights than chicks with aflatoxicosis or ibd alone. afl-ibdv chicks also had more extensive gross and microscopic changes characteristic of ibd than did ibdv-chicks. none of the treatments significantly reduced antibody responses to newcastle dise ...1978212001
