[adsorption of enteroviruses on nitrate cellulose membranes: influence of mineral salts, detergents and calf serum (author's transl)].the filtration through cellulose nitrate membranes of a poliovirus type ii suspension in distilled water alone or with added mineral salts (nacl, mgcl2, alcl3) results in adsorption of the virus. the maximal adsorption is obtained with nacl. a detergent in the virus suspension or a pretreatment of the membranes with calf serum prevents this adsorption. elution of the adsorbed enteroviruses is achieved with alcaline and proteinaceous buffer.1976182051
the mythology of various hepatitis a virus isolates.several types of viral hepatitis may exist. hepatitis a (ms-1 type) can be transmitted to marmosets and chimpanzees. virus-like particles, which may be parvo- or enteroviruses and which have been demonstrated in feces of this type of hepatitis, do not share cross-reacting antigens with hepatitis b but do cross-react with fecal hepatitis a antigen. hepatitis a (gb type), which also does not cross-react with hepatitis b, is not antigenically identical with ms-1; it can be transmitted to marmosets ...1975173601
characterization of cr326 human hepatitis a virus, a probable enterovirus.cr326 human hepatitis a virus purified by isopycnic banding from infected marmoset sera was shown to consist of 27 mmu spherical particles on electron microscopic examination. the particles were identified as hepatitis a virus by tests for infectivity and by specific neutralization of infectivity with convalescent human hepatitis a serum. also, identical 27 mmu viruses in liver extracts gave specific reactions with hepatitis a antisera when tested by immune electron microscopy. the buoyant densi ...1975173603
anti-viral activity of single-stranded homopolynucleotides against encephalomyocarditis virus and semliki forest virus in adult mice without interferon induction.single administrations of poly c or poly i are anti-viral against infections of encephalomyocarditis (emc) and semliki forest virus (sfv) in mice but poly u and poly a are not. the degree of protection is dose-dependent and mice which die do so at a later time when untreated controls even in a strain of mouse in which the time of death is not dependent on the dose of virus given. no circulating interferon is found after treating mice with poly c or poly i even at polynucleotide doses which give ...1976173799
investigation of the anti-viral mechanism of poly i and poly c against encephalomyocarditis virus infection in the absence of interferon induction in mice.protection of mice against emc virus infection by poly c and poly i has already been distinguished from interferon mediated protection in several ways. transfer of serum from emc virus infected and poly c or poly i treated mice to donor mice that were then infected shows that the anti-viral effect of the single-stranded polynucleotides is not due to boosting interferon produced by infection itself in the way that inferferon can be 'primed' in vitro. mice surviving infections of more than i x ld1 ...1976182913

antirival activity of n-phenyl-n'-arylthiourea derivatives against some rhinoviruses.the effect of 12 derivatives of n-phenyl-n'-aryl- or alkylthiourea, inhibitors of human enteroviruses and foot-and-mouth disease virus, on reproduction of some rhinoviruses (h-17, b-632) in hela bristol cells was studied. as screening methods both the multicylce growth test in roller tube cultures and two variants of plaque inhibition tests were employed. the compounds selected were tested in one-step growth cycle set-up. we established that n-phenyl-n'-4-hydroxyphenylthiourea (v-24) and n-pheny ...1977188604
[production and characterization of some mouse embryo cellular substrates in vitro].cell cultures with a different multiplication potential in vitro, depending upon the strain source used, were obtained from mouse embryos belonging to the cva, c57 black a2g and swiss strains. only the swiss 12 culture underwent spontaneous transformation and was carried through more than 50 passages in vitro. the swiss-12 substrate proved not to be contaminated either by viruses or micoplasma. it is less sensitive than other elective cell substrates to infection with attenuated polioviruses, cy ...1976183259
protection of mice against encephalomyocarditis virus infection by preparations of transfer rna.preparations of bacterial transfer rna (trna), give dose-dependent protection of mice against encephalomyocarditis (emc) virus infection at up to i mg trna per mouse with maximum response when the trna is administered around 6 h before infection. protection occurs with intraperitoneally and intravenously administered trna against infections by both these routes. in some experiments significant protection occurs by single treatments of trna up to 24 h after infection with virus doses of i x ld100 ...1977188982

anti-viral activity against encephalomyocarditis virus and semliki forest virus and acute toxicity of poly i and poly c administered sequentially to mice.mice are protected against lethal intraperitoneal and intravenous infection by encephalomyocarditis virus and semliki forest virus by sequential treatment with poly i followed by either polyc or poly5-hydroxyc without production of interferon when the treatments are 4 or more hours apart and by the intraperitoneal or intravenous routes. maximum protection occurs around 4 hours before infection and is still significant 20 hours after infection. treatments with combinations of other homoribopolynu ...1976184760
probable role of viruses in calfhood diseases.bovine enteroviruses, bovine viral diarrhea virus, rotavirus (formerly called reovirus-like agent), coronavirus-like agent, bovine adenovirus, and bovine parainfluenza-3 virus have been isolated from calves suffering from neonatal disease. the experimental disease produced by these viruses is not necessarily severe or fatal, but under farm and ranch conditions, each probably serves as an added to mortality from neonatal disease. after initial losses following the introduction of a virus into a h ...1977190279
characterization of the drosophila c virus.some properties of drosophila c virus (dcv), a non-occluded isometric virus, have been studied. the virus particles were 30 nm in diam., their sedimentation coefficient was 153s and their buoyant density was 1-34 g/ml in caesium chloride in the ph range 7 to 9. these particles contained about 31% ribonucleic acid (rna) and 69% protein. the reaction of formaldehyde with dcv particles suggested that the rna in situ is single-stranded. the infectivity of dcv was stable at ph 3. the virus capsid con ...1977190345
comparison of four eluents in the recovery of indigenous viruses from raw sludge.the efficiency of 3% casein hydrolysate (ch), 3% lactalbumin hydrolysate (lh), 3% beef extract (be), and 10% fetal calf serum (fcs) was compared for the recovery of viruses from raw sludge. ch and lh proved to be inefficient and were eliminated from the study after initial testing. in tests with 20 different samples of raw sludge, beef extract eluted virus in 15 (75%) and fcs revealed virus in 19 (95%) of the samples using bs-c-1 cells. that different eluents were not eluting different viruses f ...1976184901
demyelinative myelopathy in mice induced by the da virus.an attenuated tissue culture adapted strain of da virus, an agent related to the theiler murine encephalomyelitis viruses (tmev), was used to induce a chronic myelopathy in mice. spastic paraparesis first appeared 5 months after weanings were inoculated intracerebrally with the virus. none died as a direct result of the infection, and none improved once paretic. the major pathological change in these mice was demyelination of thoracic segments of spinal cord. no clinical illness or demyelinative ...1976185333
[viral flora (coliphages and human enteroviruses) found in river water after an urban district (saint-etienne). ii. a virological and epidemiological survey (author's transl)].a survey was carried out from march 1972 to february 1973 to identify viral flora found in the river furan ater st. etienne. the 54 samples examined revealed the following data: 1) more accurate results are obtained when viral concentration values are expressed in terms of m3/sec., taking into account the flow of the river and eliminating the seasonal dilution factor; 2) rates of enteroviruses remain constant throughout the year, in spite of a relatively rapid spontaneous inactivation of the vir ...1976190654
