effect of streptovirudin on parainfluenza 3 virus multiplication.streptovirudin (sv) in a concentration of 100 microng/ml reduced the multiplication of parainfluenza 3 virus by about 3.5 log units. when uninfected wish cells were treated for 2 and 12 hours with 100 mug/ml of sv, 3h-thymidineincorporation was decreased, but no marked differences were observed in the incorporation of 3h-uridine. the level of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c-amp) was found to decrease in sv-treated cells.197715435
the use of igm antibody responses in the diagnosis of primary infections to measles, rubella, mumps, and m. parainfluenzae viruses.one-hundred and twenty-seven sera were tested to determine whether a primary infection could be identified by a determination of the class of antibody (igm) detected in serum collected in the period after a viral infection. serum was collected from patients with a history of measles (18 cases), rubella (24 cases), mumps (12 cases), and m. parainfluenzae type 3 infections (9 cases). the results of the serological assays are compared with clinical observations and the limitations of the methods un ...197845605
studies on parainfluenza-3 virus neuraminidase.various parainfluenza-3 virus (piv-3) strains differ in neuraminidase (na) activity, some being neuraminidase strong (nas) and some neuraminidase weak (naw). no difference in the ability of these strains to elicit antibody activity to hemagglutinin (ha) or na of piv-3 was observed. samples of formalin-treated piv-3 released more n-acteylneuraminic acid (nana) than samples of piv-3 not treated with formalin when these samples were incubated with the substrate sialolactose for 16 h at 37 degrees c ...197547826

investigation of factors of probable significance in the pathogenesis of pneumonic pasteurellosis in cattle.six groups of ten beef calves six to eight months of age were shipped from western canada and observed untreated for one week after arrival. the following parameters were measured daily: body temperature, plasma fibrinogen, nasal bacterial mean colony counts of pasteurella hemolytica and pasteurella multocida, total and differential leukoyte counts, packed cell volumes and the following, twice during the week: serum and nasal antibody titres to p. hemolytica and parainfluenza-3 virus. the lungs ...1975164992
meaning of circulating antibody titers in the infections of parainfluenza 3 virus and rs virus.it is generally accepted that secretory antibodies play a very important role in the prevention of respiratory infections, but it is also considered that the circulating antibody level is a very significant indication of the establishment of infections. in parainfluenza 3 and rs virus infections, reinfections are very common but seem to depend more or less upon circulating antibody levels. there is a correlation between circulating antibody level and infection rate in parainfluenza 3 infection i ...1975165115
contribution to the study of the parainfluenza antigens.from epidemiological data it appeared that an epidemic of parainfluenza type 1 occurred in lyons in october-november 1967. thereafter a few sporadic cases were detected. then in 1970 strains were isolated which showed a change in the hemagglutinin antigen. the persistence of antibodies in the population is shorter than that of the other parainfluenza viruses (i. e. parainfluenza 3); it is not known if reinfections with parainfluenza 1 occur since there are cross-reactions by cf test between para ...1975165116
immune response of cattle to intranasally or parenterally administered parainfluenza type 3 virus vaccines.the principal significance of pi-3 virus in the bovine respiratory disease complex would seem to be its role in predisposing the respiratory tract to bacterial infection by (5) disrupting the integrity of the superficial mucosa and (3) producing a more favourable milieu for bacterial growth. attention has therefore been given to establishing local immunity to preclude infection of superficial cells of the mucosa. criteria used to evaluate the degree of such immunity are (5) presence of specific ...1975165124
local and systemic response after simultaneous intranasal inoculation of temperature-sensitive mutants of parainfluenza 3, ibr and bovine adenovirus 3.triple seronegative calves were exposed by the nasal route to three (ts) mutants of bovine respiratory viruses (pi3, ibr, adeno3). after a single exposure, they responded with significant levels of serum antibodies to the three viruses. nasal antibodies were demonstrated for pi3 and adenovirus antigens. the failure to demonstrate nasal antibodies to ibr may be due to lack of sensitivity of the procedure used. when reexposed six weeks later, calves had sharp increases in levels of serum antibodie ...1975165126
comparison of three methods for sampling the bovine upper respiratory tract for viruses.a modified naso-pharyngeal swab with nylon bristles had certain advantages for sampling the bovine upper respiratory tract for viruses. the titre of parainfluenza virus type 3 recovered was greatest when this type of swab was used compared with two other methods of sampling.1975165573

immunoglobulins, antibodies and inhibitors of parainfluenza 3 virus in respiratory secretions of sheep.virus neutralising and haemagglutination inhibiting (hi) activities were monitored in the serum, nasal secretions and tracheo-bronchial secretions of lambs infected with parainfluenza virus type 3 (pi3). hi activity was found in the secretions of both control and infected lambs, whereas neutralising antibody was found only in nasal secretions from infected lambs. fractionation revealed that most of the hi activity in the secretions was due to a large molecular weight protein which also inhibited ...1975174528
inhibition of multiplication of parainfluenza 3 virus in prostaglandin-treated wish cells.influence of prostaglandins e2 (pge2) and f2alpha (pgf 2alpha) on multiplication of myxovirus parainfluenza 3 was investigated. at concentrations of 0.01--1 mug/ml prostaglandins had no direct cytotoxic effects. pge2 and pgf2alpha inhibited multiplication of parainfluenza 3 virus at concentrations 0.1--10 mug/ml. the inhibitory effect was most pronounced when the prostaglandins were added to medium for the whole period of virus multiplication (48 hours) while little or no effect was found when p ...1975174532
experimental parainfluenza type 1 virus-induced encephalopathy in adult mice. pathogenesis of chronic degenerative changes in the cns.the pathogenicity of the 6/94 strain of parainfluenza type 1 virus, originally isolated from multiple sclerosis brain, was studied in adult mouse brains. intracerebral inoculation of the virus caused mononuclear cell infiltration in the form of perivascular cuffing and a diffuse exudation into the parenchymal tissue, preferentially in cerebral white matter, that resulted in marked degeneration over a 90-day observation period. immunofluorescent staining revealed viral antigen in the ependymal li ...1976174534
an outbreak of acute pneumonia in young, single-suckled calves.an outbreak of acute severe pneumonia which affected six to 14-week-old single-suckled calves, resulted in 45/77 requiring treatment. the examination of paired sera from all affected calves revealed that neither an adenovirus, non infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus nor parainfluenza 3 virus was involved. the acute exudative interstitial pneumonia found at post mortem was typical of pneumonic pasteurellosis.1976176764
effect of prostaglandins on cell function and multiplication of parainfluenza 3 viruses in wish cells.cytotoxic effect of prostaglandins e2 and f2alpha on cells grown in vitro and the influence of these compounds on multiplication of myxovirus parainfluenza 3 were investigated. the prostaglandins were added to culture medium (0-01-10 mug/ml) 24 hr before virus infection, or for 2 and 48 hr after inoculation with viruses. wish cells and monkey kidney cell cultures were used. no direct cytotoxic effect of prostaglandins at concentrations 0-01-1 mug/ml was found (viability, supravital staining, pha ...1976178579

synthesis and antiviral acticity of some phosphates of the broad-spectrum antiviral nucleoside, 1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (ribavirin).1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide 5'-phosphate (2) was prepared and converted into the following derivatives: the 5'-phosphoramidate 3, the 5'-diphosphate 4, the 5'-triphosphate 5, and the cyclic 3',5'-phosphate 6. the cyclic 2',3'-phosphate 7 was prepared from the parent nucleoside, 1-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (1), and was opened to the 2'(3')-phosphate 8. these compounds were found to exhibit significant antiviral activity against several viruses in ce ...1978211234
neutralising antibodies to parainfluenza 3 virus in african wildlife, with special reference to the cape buffalo (syncerus caffer).as part of a study to assess the prevalence of common viral agents in african wildlife, nearly 3,300 sera from 44 different wild species, from eight african countries, have been examined for neutralising antibodies to parainfluenza 3 (pi3) virus. antibody was demonstrated in 20 of the 44 species examined, including seven species not previously reported as sero-positive. sera were collected between 1963 and 1977 and results indicated that infection has been widespread for a considerable time. the ...1978211274
immunoglobulins in the serum and nasal secretions of lambs following vaccination and aerosol challenge with parainfluenza 3 virus.serial changes in the concentrations of igm, igg and iga were compared in specific pathogen free (spf) lambs which had been vaccinated with live or inactivated parainfluenza 3 virus (pi 3) by either intramuscular (im) or intranasal (in) routes followed by aerosol challenge with pi 3. in the serum, an increase in igm was associated with the primary antibody response to the aerosol challenge, whereas increased igg was associated with the secondary antibody response. no changes in immunoglobulin co ...1976193171
the use of polyethylene glycol in concentration and purification of several bovine viruses.the polyethylene glycol (peg) precipitation method was used for the concentration and purification of eight bovine viruses. good results were obtained from four viruses, parainfluenza--3 virus, bovine enterovirus, bovine adenovirus, and bovine parvovirus. no satisfactory results of concentration were obtained from bovine reovirus, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. the failure of concentration of the four viruses seems to be ascribed rather to the resuspend ...1978211444
interactions between calf alveolar macrophages and parainfluenza-3 virus.cells washed from the lungs of freshly killed calves (lung wash cells; lwc) were cytotoxic for calf kidney (ck) target cells infected with parainfluenzavirus type 3 (pi-3) when assayed by chromium release. lwc collected from 25 calves, including two gnotobiotic animals that had not previously been infected with pi-3, were all cytotoxic, giving a specific chromium release between 11 and 50%. cytotoxicity was detected at ratios of lwc to target cell as low as 5:1. the cytotoxic reaction required v ...1977191403

in vitro stimulation of bovine circulating lymphocytes by parainfluenza type 3 virus.bovine circulating lymphocytes from animals sero-positive to parainfluenza-3 virus (piv-3) could be stimulated by piv-3 antigen in a microculture system. a semiautomatic multiple sample harvester was used to collect the lymphocytes from the microplates. ultraviolet-killed piv-3 induced better stimulation values than formalin or heat-treated virus. the highest stimulation values were obtained after a stimulation time of three to five days.1977190660
parainfluenza type 3 in a transplant unit.we observed an epidemic of parainfluenza type 3 viral infection in a renal transplantation service among 16 recent transplant recipients. to assess the effect of infection on transplant function, we retrospectively compared the infected patients with a matched, uninfected control group. in addition to symptoms of a mild upper respiratory tract infection associated with the epidemic, there was an increase in the frequency of acute rejection episodes during the period of infection in the infected ...1979214588
