pathogenicity of an attenuated strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus for newborn pigs.the pathogenicity of a cell culture-attenuated strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus for newborn pigs was investigated. newborn (1- to 2-day-old) pigs were orally given 2 x 10(6) plaque-forming units of attenuated virus. all pigs developed mild diarrhea, but deaths did not occur. as determined by immunofluorescence and villous atropy, infection of the small intestine was limited to the caudal 50 to 66%. fluorescing cells and atrophic villi were seen from 2 to 3 days until 6 to 7 days aft ...1976176906
partial characterization of the principal soluble antigens associated with the coronavirus of transmissible gastroenteritis by complement fixation and immunodiffusion.a microtiter complement fixation (cf) test to detect transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) viral antigen was developed, using tge hyperimmune pig serum as an antibody source. sera from tge covalescent pigs did not fix complement by this test. maximal virus and soluble antigen (sa) titers were obtained 36 to 48 h after inoculation of swine testes cells. cell-associated virus and sa titers were higher than those in the culture fluid, which had to be concentrated 20x before use as antigen in agar imm ...1976177369
effect of ambient temperatures on multiplication of attenuated transmissible gastroenteritis virus in the bodies of newborn piglets.newborn piglets were found to be more resistant to infection with attenuated transmissible gastroenteritis virus when maintained at higher temperatures. this was attributed to a decreased rate of virus propagation and spreading in the bodies of the infected animals. the highest virus levels were detected in the tissues of piglets maintained at 8 to 12 c. in contrast, no virus was recovered from piglets maintained at 35 to 37.5 c. the virus was found only in the lymph nodes and respiratory organs ...1976178601
chromatographic separation of gram quantities of immunoglobulins from porcine colostrium against transmissible gastroenteritis virus.similar immunoglobulin (ig) classes were obtained from porcine colodtral whey by either column or batch chromatographic procedures; a stepwise buffer elution technique was used. specific transmissible gastroenteritis virus neutralizing antibody was found in the 4 major fractions eluted comprising of igg1, igg2, iga, and igm. the igg1, and igg2 were essentially homogeneous, and the iga- and igm-rich fractions had to be recycled several times through sephadex g-200 to obtain pure iga and igm that ...1976180183
evaluation of 6-azauridine and 5-iododeoxyuridine in the treatment of experimental viral infections.the potential antiviral activity of 6-azauridine and 5-iododeoxyuridine was evaluated in a coordinated study at five institutions. experimental models in five species, the mouse, rabbit, swine, cat, and ferret, were established with use of 10 viruses: herpesvirus hominis types 1 and 2, murine cytomegalovirus, vaccinia virus, shope fibroma virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, swine influenza virus, feline viral rhinotracheitis virus, feline panleukopenia virus, and ferret distemper virus. ...1976180189
the isolation of reovirus-like agents (rota-viruses) from acute gastroenteritis of piglets.isolations of reovirus-like agents (rotaviruses) were made from nine of 23 outbreaks of piglet diarrhoea on different farms and from both weaned and unweaned piglets. the viruses were shown to be morphologically and anti-genically similar to the rotaviruses of children and calves. gnotobiotig piglets given intranasal inoculations of five different isolates developed acute gastroenteritis, and the virus was re-isolated from the faeces or intestinal contents. the piglet virus was not adapted to re ...1976180294
transmissible gastroenteritis of swine. efficacy assay of an intramammary use vaccine.tge seronegative pregnant gilts were vaccinated by intramammary inoculations with a chemically inactivated (betapropiolactone) cell culture virus vaccine and their nursing pigs were exposed to virus at three days of age. the pig morbidity and survival rates were compared with those of pigs nursing gilts exposed orally to virulent tge virus during late gestation and also with pigs nursing non-vaccinated seronegative sows. the morbidity rates were 100%, 19% and 19%, while the survival rates were ...1976182600
neutralization of a transmissible gastroenteritis virus of swine by colostral antibodies elicited by intestine and cell culture-propagated virus.cross-protection studies of gilts exposed to 4 transmissible gastroenteritis viruses--ilinois (field strain), miller-3, miller low passage (m-lp), and miller high passage (m-hp) tissue culture-adapted--indicated that only the gilt vaccinated with illinois strain was protected, along with its newborn pigs, against challenge exposure with field virus. similar results were obtained when the 4 viruses were incubated in vitro with colostrum from each of the 4 vaccinated gilts and subsequently used to ...1976183573
vaccination of newborn pigs with an attenuated strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus.clinical signs of transmissible gastroenteritis were not observed in newborn pigs orally inoculated with the high-passaged vaccinal transmissible gastroenteritis virus (to-163 strain). vaccinal viral multiplication in digestive tract of newborn pigs fed colostrum before inoculation and kept at 21 to 22 c was diminished, but was not diminished in those fed colostrum and kept at 10 to 11 c. other groups of newborn pigs inoculated with the attenuated vaccinal virus and kept at 18 to 22 c or at 31 t ...1976187088
leukocyte-aggregation assay for transmissible gastroenteritis of swine.an in vitro leukocyte-aggregation assay was developed to detect the exposure of swine to transmissible gastroenteritis virus. leukocytes in heparinized blood samples aggregated when mixed with test antigen prepared from transmissible gastroenteritis-infected swine testicle cell cultures. twenty-two of 23 swine exposed 3 days or more were positive or suspects in the assay; 6 nonexposed swine were negative. aggregation was shown as early as 3 days postexposure in 1 sow and persisted for as long as ...1976187089
the detection of transmissible gastroenteritis viral antibodies by immunodiffusion.precipitating antibodies against transmissible gastroenteritis viral antigens were detected by the immunodiffusion test in two transmissible gastroenteritis viral hyperimmune antisera and in antiserum prepared against haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus but not in sera from several species of normal animals, in antisera prepared against a variety of othet viruses and bacteria or sera from swine with bacterial enteritis. when the immunodiffusion test was compared with the virus neutralizati ...1976187295
transmissible gastroenteritis virus: plaques and a plaque neutralization test.a plaquing system and plaque neutralization test in porcine thyroid cells were used to study different transmissible gastroenteritis isolates and hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus. among transmissible gastroenteritis virus isolates, plaque size varied considerably and mixed size ranges sometimes occurred. the most recently isolated viruses produced smaller plaques than the laboratory viruses or hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus. all transmissible gastroenteritis virus isolates reac ...1976187296
antibody response in pigs inoculated with transmissible gastroenteritis virus and cross reactions among ten isolates.groups of two or three day old pigs were inoculated intravenously with cell culture grown transmissible gastroenteritis virus. a single or a multiple dosage schedule was used. the magnitude of immune response was measured in terms of serum neutralization indices. a single dose of relatively attenuated virus caused mild clinical signs of transmissible gastroenteritis infection in the pigs and induced a low level of antibody in the serum by the seventh day after inoculation. repeated injections of ...1976187297
immune electron microscopy of transmissible gastroenteritis virus and rotavirus (reovirus-like agent) of swine.immune electron microscopy (iem) was developed as a diagnostic aid for detecting and identifying transmissible gastroenteritis virus and rotavirus (reovirus-like agent) in fecal and intestinal contents from cases of gastroenteritis in young pigs. variables involved in use of direct iem and its sensitivity were determined. aggregates of virus coated with specific antibody were seen in virus samples mixed with homologous convalescent antiserum, but not in control samples containing preexposure ser ...1977189646

quantitative transmissible gastroenteritis virus shedding patterns in lactating sows.to test the role of sows in spreading transmissible gastroenteritis (tge), 11 sows were intravenously, intranasally, or intramammarily inoculated with virulent virus within 5 days of farrowing. six of the sows were separated from their offspring, and 5 were allowed to nurse their litters. all sows became clinically ill with sign of anorexia, depression, and fever that persisted until postinoculation day 4 or 5. they shed virus through milk, nasal secretions, and feces, with individual variations ...1977192108
isolation of subviral components from transmissible gastroenteritis virus.exposure of purified transmissible gastroenteritis virus, a porcine coronavirus, to non-ionic detergents resulted in the removal of the surface projections and greater than 98% of the virus lipid. virus rna was associated with a subviral particle which had a sedimentation coefficient of 650s, compared with 495s for the intact virion, and which banded in cs2so4 gradients at 1-295 g/ml. negatively stained preparations of subviral particles were shown by electron microscopy to contain spherical par ...1976190341
lipids of transmissible gastroenteritis virus and their relation to those of two different host cells.the lipids of two cell types (primary pig kidney and secondary adult pig thyroid) and those of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) grown in these cells were studied using 14c-palmitic acid. differences were demonstrated between the incorporation of isotopically labelled lipid precursors in the two cell types and it was found that the phospholipid and glycolipid profiles of purified tgev closely resembled those of the host cell in which it was grown.1977192838
further studies on human enteric coronaviruses.comparisons were made between human enteric coronaviruses and the enteric coronaviruses of pigs and calves by negative staining. examination of human intestinal organ culture fluids at various time intervals after inoculation with the human enteric coronavirus showed increasing numbers of particles in the fluids. thin sections of the columnar epithelial cells of these explants showed a number of features consistent with the replication of known human and animal coronaviruses. virus particles fou ...1977196571
immunoglobulin classes of antibodies in milk of swine after intranasal exposure to pseudorabies virus or transmissible gastroenteritis virus.experiments were conducted to evaluate whether infection of the respiratory tract of pregnant swine with pseudorabies (pr) virus would induce the secretion of immunoglobulin a (iga) antibodies in their milk as was observed after enteric infection with transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus. the immune response of sows to pr virus inoculated intranasally and to tge virus inoculated orally/intranasally or via a natural infection was studied. emphasis was placed upon titers and ig classes of pr ...1977197014
micro-indirect hemagglutination test for detection of antibody against transmissible gastroenteritis virus of pigs.a micro-indirect hemagglutination (iha) test was developed for detecting antibody against transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus of pigs. tge virus propagated in swine kidney cell cultures was highly purified and concentrated by the combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, treatment with fluorocarbon, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. tanned sheep erythrocytes were sensitized with purified virus for use in the iha test. the results of testing 104 serum samples collected from ...1977197119

intestinal immune response of feeder pigs to infection with transmissible gastroenteritis virus.five feeder pigs 4 to 6 months old were orally inoculated with transmissible gastroenteritis virus. diagnosis of transmissible gastroenteritis was made on the basis of clinical signs and examination of intestinal mucosa by the fluorescent antibody technique. immunoglobulins were extracted from intestinal fluid of infected feeder pigs. virus-binding and neutralizing antibodies were detected in intestinal extracts between 7 and 56 days after infection. the concentration of binding antibodies reach ...1976944001
viral gastroenteritis: recent progress, remaining problems.infants and young children are particularly susceptible to a recently identified viral enteritis which is highly contagious and seems both common and universal. in this disease, virus invades the upper intestinal epithelium, causing acute diarrhoea with early fever and vomiting. we studied a similar disease in pigs, infecting three-week-old animals with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tge), which also invades the upper intestinal epithelium. in this model, diarrhoea is massive 16-40 hours a ...19761049555
protective effect of immunoglobulins in serum and milk of sows exposed to transmissible gastroenteritis virus.experimental exposure of susceptible pregnant sows by various routes to the gut-origin transmissible gastroenteritis virus stimulated production of milk and serum antibodies. these antibodies neutralized the cytopathic effect of transmissible gastroenteritis virus propagated in cell culture. this in vitro neutralizing antibody resided in the igg and iga immunoglobulin classes. on the other hand, protection for baby pigs resided in the iga class of milk immunoglobulin of sows exposed orally or in ...19751111857

age-dependent resistance to transmissible gastroenteritis of swine. iii. effects of epithelial cell kinetics on coronavirus production and on atrophy of intestinal villi.coronavirus titers in small intestine, degree of villous atrophy and apparent rates of regeneration of intestinal villi were compared in newborn, 3-week-old and adult pigs for 1 week after they were exposed to the transmissible gastroenteritis virus of swine. the response within the newborn group was homogeneous, resulting in high virus titers, maximal villous atrophy and comparatively slow regeneration. in general, virus titers were lower, villous atrophy was less severe and regeneration more r ...19751229058
antigen selection and presentation to protect against transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus.the antigenic structure of the s glycoprotein of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) and porcine respiratory coronavirus (prcv) has been determined and correlated with the physical structure. four antigenic sites have been defined (a, b, c, and d). the sites involved in the neutralization of tgev are: a, d, and b, sites a and d being antigenically dominant for tgev neutralization in vitro. these two sites have specific properties of interest: site a is highly conserved and is present in c ...19921282756
adaptation of transmissible gastroenteritis virus to growth in non-permissive vero cells.the cpk cells derived from swine kidney were infected with the attenuated to-163 strain of transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus, and fused with uninfected vero cells in the presence of polyethylene glycol. repeated cocultivation of the fused cells with uninfected vero cells rendered the virus to grow in vero cells. the vero cell-adapted virus acquired the ability to infect and produce cytopathic effects in several other non-permissive cell lines of non-porcine origin. no major differences i ...19921309640
single amino acid changes in the viral glycoprotein m affect induction of alpha interferon by the coronavirus transmissible gastroenteritis virus.transmissible gastroenteritis virus, an enteropathogenic coronavirus of swine, is a potent inducer of alpha interferon (ifn-alpha) both in vitro and in vivo. previous studies have shown that virus-infected fixed cells or viral suspensions were able to induce an early and strong ifn-alpha synthesis by naive lymphocytes. two monoclonal antibodies directed against the viral membrane glycoprotein m (29,000; formerly e1) were found to markedly inhibit virus-induced ifn production, thus assigning to m ...19921309909
monoclonal antibodies to the spike protein of feline infectious peritonitis virus mediate antibody-dependent enhancement of infection of feline macrophages.antibody-dependent enhancement of virus infection is a process whereby virus-antibody complexes initiate infection of cells via fc receptor-mediated endocytosis. we sought to investigate antibody-dependent enhancement of feline infectious peritonitis virus infection of primary feline peritoneal macrophages in vitro. enhancement of infection was assessed, after indirect immunofluorescent-antibody labelling of infected cells, by determining the ratio between the number of cells infected in the pre ...19921309922
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
the 9-kda hydrophobic protein encoded at the 3' end of the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus genome is membrane-associated.the open reading frame potentially encoding a 78 amino acid, 9101 da hydrophobic protein (hp) and, mapping at the 3' end of the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (tgev) genome, was shown to be expressed during virus replication. the cloned hp gene was placed in a plasmid under control of the t7 rna polymerase promoter and in vitro translation of transcripts generated in vitro yielded a 9.1-kda protein that was immunoprecipitable with porcine hyperimmune anti-tgev serum. antiserum ...19921310191
clinical and pathologic effects of oral administration of transmissible gastroenteritis vaccine to gnotobiotic pigs.pigs from 3 litters kept under gnotobiotic conditions were inoculated orally with virulent transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus, a tge vaccine, or hank's balanced salt solution at 2 days of age and then euthanatized at intervals ranging from 1 to 7 days after inoculation. pigs exposed to the vaccine had clinical evidence of diarrhea and weakness. lesions resembling those of tge were revealed grossly, microscopically, and by scanning electron microscopy. viral antigen was seen in intestinal ...19921311537
pathogenicity and antigen detection of the nouzilly strain of transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus, in 1-week-old piglets.we compared the pathogenicity and the sites of multiplication of the attenuated nouzilly strain, with the highly passaged purdue-115 and the virulent gep ii strains of transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) coronavirus, in 1-week-old weaned piglets. the immunohistochemical peroxidase technique, with an antiviral nucleoprotein monoclonal antibody, was used for the localization of the multiplication sites, in the intestine and other organs. the gep ii and the purdue-115 strains, administered orally t ...19921313460
comparison of the antibody response to transmissible gastroenteritis virus and porcine respiratory coronavirus, using monoclonal antibodies to antigenic sites a and x of the s glycoprotein.pigs were inoculated with various strains of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) or with porcine respiratory coronavirus (prcv), and antigenic site-specific antibody responses were compared. a blocking-elisa was used to study to what extent antibodies in convalescent sera interfered with the binding of monoclonal antibodies (mab) 57.16 or 57.110 to the attenuated tgev/purdue virus. monoclonal antibody 57.16 is directed against the a site on the peplomer, neutralizes virus, and recognizes ...19921315491
tgev corona virus orf4 encodes a membrane protein that is incorporated into virions.the coding potential of the open reading frame orf4 (82 amino acids) of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) has been confirmed by expression using a baculovirus vector. five monoclonal antibodies (mabs) raised against the 10k recombinant product immunoprecipitated a polypeptide of a similar size in tgev-infected cells. immunofluorescence assays performed both on insect and mammalian cells revealed that orf4 was a membrane-associated protein, a finding consistent with the prediction of a m ...19921316677
seroconversion of pigs in contact with dogs exposed to canine coronavirus.in order to determine if canine coronavirus (ccv) could be transmitted to pigs, two dogs were inoculated orally with virulent ccv. after 24 h, the dogs were moved to an isolation room that contained three three-day-old pigs. a wire mesh fence, allowing close contact between the animals, separated the dogs from the pigs. the dogs and pigs were observed for 14 days for clinical signs of disease. samples of blood were obtained from dogs and pigs immediately before the dogs were inoculated with viru ...19921316800
efficacy of antiserum produced in goats and pigs to passively protect piglets against virulent transmissible gastroenteritis virus.the protective effect of sera produced in swine and goats exposed to virulent transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) or modified-live tgev was tested in hysterectomy-derived, colostrum-deprived three-day-old pigs. pigs were given serum with their daily ration of milk, and their immunity to virulent tgev was determined. the pigs were observed for ten days for clinical signs of tgev infection. one of nine pigs receiving goat serum was protected whereas all three pigs receiving three doses of s ...19921317247
