| update: hantavirus disease--southwestern united states, 1993. | since may 1993, the state health departments in arizona, colorado, new mexico, and utah; the indian health service; and cdc, with the assistance of the navajo nation division of health, have been investigating an outbreak of acute respiratory illness related to a newly recognized hantavirus (1-5). this report updates the investigation and presents information on a recent case of hantavirus-associated respiratory disease in a resident of nevada. | 1993 | 8332114 |
| update: hantavirus disease--united states, 1993. | since the recognition of acute hantavirus-associated respiratory disease in the united states in may 1993, laboratory evidence of acute hantavirus infection has been confirmed in 30 persons in the southwestern united states; 20 (67%) of these persons have died. of those 30 persons, 23 resided in the four-corners region (14 in new mexico, six in arizona, and three in colorado). previously reported cases outside the four-corners states occurred in a nevada resident and a texas resident, neither of ... | 1993 | 8336693 |

| anti-idiotypic antibodies against puumala virus glycoprotein-specific monoclonal antibodies inhibit virus infection in cell cultures. | rabbit anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-ids) were generated against three bank vole and one human monoclonal antibody (mab) specific for the two envelope glycoproteins of puumala virus (g1 and g2). the anti-ids were purified by sequential immunoaffinity chromatography. each anti-id inhibited the antigen binding of its respective mab in a competitive elisa. this inhibition, and the absence of cross-reactivity among the anti-ids for heterologous mabs, showed that they all were specific for unique d ... | 1993 | 8379850 |
| [study of cytopathogenic effect of epidemic hemorrhagic fever virus on normal human bone marrow cells]. | the cytopathogenic effect of epidemic hemorrhagic fever virus (ehfv) on cultured human bone marrow cells (hbc) was studied. specific viral antigen in hbc was detected at various times after ehfv infection with trypan-blue stain and electron microscopy. it was shown that the infection rate of hbc was over 80% at 3 weeks after infection. the death rate of hbc in the infection group was significantly higher than that in the control group on 1-4 weeks after infection. injury of cell membrane organs ... | 1993 | 8404319 |
| non-viral sequences at the 5' ends of dugbe nairovirus s mrnas. | analyses of the mrna transcription processes of viruses in four genera (bunyavirus, hantavirus, phlebovirus and tospovirus) of the family bunyaviridae have revealed a common mechanism of initiation using host-derived primers, known as cap-snatching. to provide similar information on the fifth genus in the family, the 5' ends of dugbe nairovirus s mrna species were specifically cloned and sequenced. this revealed the presence of non-viral heterogeneous sequences, five to 16 nucleotides in length ... | 1993 | 8409954 |

| hantavirus infection--southwestern united states: interim recommendations for risk reduction. centers for disease control and prevention. | this report provides interim recommendations for prevention and control of hantavirus infections associated with rodents in the southwestern united states. it is based on principles of rodent and infection control and contains specific recommendations for reducing rodent shelter and food sources in and around the home, recommendations for eliminating rodents inside the home and preventing them from entering the home, precautions for preventing hantavirus infection while rodent-contaminated areas ... | 1993 | 8413156 |

| update: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome--united states, 1993. | a unique hantavirus has been identified as the cause of the outbreak of respiratory illness (hantavirus pulmonary syndrome [hps]) first recognized in the southwestern united states in may 1993. the habitat of the principal rodent reservoir for this virus, peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse), extends throughout most of the united states except the southeast. through october 21, 1993, hps has been confirmed in 42 persons reported to cdc from 12 states (figure 1). this report summarizes major clini ... | 1993 | 8413170 |
| the effects of hybridoma growth factor in conditioned media upon the growth, cloning, and antibody production of heterohybridoma cell lines. | interleukin 6 (il-6)/hybridoma growth factor (hgf) has been shown to be the requirement for growth of murine hybridomas in vivo or in vitro. in this paper, two kinds of conditioned media (cm) from the culture supernatants of a human fibroblast cell line crl1506 and a cloned epstein-barr virus (ebv) transformed human lymphoblastoid cell line (lcl) n23 were found to have il-6 activity by strongly promoting the growth, antibody secretion (increase of one- to three-fold), and cloning efficiencies of ... | 1993 | 8431556 |
| susceptibility of human cells to puumala virus infection. | nephropathia epidemica involves several organs including kidney, lung, liver and brain. to investigate the susceptibility of putative target cells to the agent responsible, puumala virus, we screened established human cell lines of lung (wi-38, a-427, ccd-11lu), kidney (a-704), liver (hep g2), pharynx (detroit 562), submaxillary gland (a-253) and neural (sk-n-mc, sh-sy5y) origin as well as primary human kidney glomerular cells, endothelial cells and peripheral blood monocytes/macrophages. propag ... | 1993 | 8445370 |
| rna binding of recombinant nucleocapsid proteins of hantaviruses. | genes encoding the nucleocapsid (n) proteins of two hantaviruses, hantaan virus strain 76-118 (htn) and puumala virus strain cg 18-20 (puu), were expressed in escherichia coli as histidine-tagged proteins. they were purified by metal-chelate affinity chromatography under native or denaturing conditions to near homogeneity. the soluble form of htn n protein was associated with rna of e. coli. renatured n proteins were shown to bind in vitro transcribed rna representing the hantaviral small genomi ... | 1993 | 8480424 |
| dobrava virus as a new hantavirus: evidenced by comparative sequence analysis. | dobrava virus, recently isolated from a yellow-neck mouse (apodemus flavicollis), captured in a northern slovenian village where severe cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome were recognized, was shown by serology and restriction enzyme digestion of pcr-amplified gene segments to be related to previously recognized hantaviruses. to investigate further the relationship of this new isolate to other hantaviruses, a portion of the medium (m) genome segment of dobrava virus was amplified by p ... | 1993 | 8487037 |
