stability and immunogenicity of empty particles of foot-and-mouth disease virus.three strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus were shown to contain significant amounts of naturally occurring 75s, empty particles as well as the infectious, 140s full particles. one of these strains--a pando (1970)--was studied in detail. the empty particles from this virus strain were shown to have an observed sedimentation coefficient of 67s in 0.04 m phosphate buffer; they were labile in sds, non-infectious and probably rna-free and, on heating, they broke down to 12s subunits as did the 14 ...1979218538
inhibition of foot and mouth disease virus and procapsid synthesis by zinc ions. brief report.zinc ions inhibit virus production and viral rna synthesis in fmdv infected-bhk 21 cells. the degree of inhibition depends upon the zinc concentration and the time of addition of the drug. a differential inhibition on virus and procapsids synthesis was observed.1979229792
relationship between virus neutralization and serum protection bioassays for igg and igm antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus.the time interval between administering the serum and the virus was found to influence the results of the in vivo mouse protection test for foot-and-mouth disease antibodies. in particular, for both igg and igm antibodies to strain a12 virus, the mouse protection index increased from zero to a maximum at about 6 h and remained high for at least five days. variations in the antiserum concentration, on a log scale, had a proportional effect on the mouse protection index, if between 1 and 3. the co ...1979219135

detection and quantification of foot and mouth disease virus by enzyme labelled immunosorbent assay techniques.enzyme labelled immunosorbent assays (elisa) have been developed to detect and quantify foot and mouth disease (fmd) virus using flexible plastic microtitre plates. the methods were successful for the specific detection of fmd virus and were 50 to 100 times more sensitive than the complement fixation test. the application of the elisa techniques to fmd virus typing and subtyping, and to the assay of antigen concentration during manufacture of vaccines is discussed.1979219137
[radial immunodiffusion study of foot-and-mouth disease virus type a].the radial immunodiffusion(ri), was used to study f. m. d. viruses, type a. it was found that the specific linkage between f. m. d. antigens and antibodies could be demonstrated through ri with the formation of precipitation circles. it was demonstrated that specific reactions were produced when homologus or heterologus antigens and sera of one and the same f. m. d. virus type interacted. the size of the precipitation circles proved inversely proportional to the concentration of antibodies in th ...1978219587
the specific detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus whole particle antigen (140s) by enzyme labelled immunosorbent assay.a solid-phase micro-enzyme-labelled immunosorbent assay (elisa) using guinea pig antiserum against purified (140s) inactivated foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus has been used in a sandwich technique to specifically measure 140s virus in the presence of 12s material.1979222837
sequence and location of the poly c tract in aphtho- and cardiovirus rna.the poly c tract in the rna of the aphtho- and cardio viruses has been examined in several isolates of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) and encephalomyocarditis (emc) virus. the length of the tract is variable, containing 100 to 170 bases in the fmdv isolates and 80 to 250 bases in the emc virus isolates. each poly c tract contains c. 10% a and u residues, located at the 5' end, i.e. most of the tract is a continuous run of c residues. the position of the tract on the genome was the same in e ...1979223128
factorial experimental design applied to the immunological study of two foot-and-mouth disease virus subtypes. 2. theoretical study of experimental models.a certain number of theoretical models of immunological relations that 2 foot-and-mouth disease viruses can support, were constructed so as to discuss in each case, the results of the factorial analysis of the data. this method provided a specific answer to each of the questions that were asked in the presence of a test of this kind. the results obtained with several immunological cross-tests comparable to that of the a greece 69-a allier viruses, illustrated most of the theoretical models.1979231920
factorial experimental design applied to the immunological study of two foot-and-mouth disease virus subtypes. 1. a greece 1969 -- a allier example.a double immunological cross-test, carried out with the index k method, is subjected to a statistical analysis by a factorial experiment. the a greece and a allier viruses, which have been taken as an example of the calculations procedure, seem to be in 2 immunologically different subtypes.1979231923
purification and identification of the rna-dependent rna polymerase of foot-and-mouth disease virus.the rna-dependent rna polymerase induced in bhk 21 cells by infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus has been isolated from the replication complex. it contains a major, virus-coded protein with mol. wt. 56 000 which appears from serological studies and tryptic peptide mapping to be the same as the virus infection associated (via) antigen and the protein p56 found in cells infected with the virus. other virus coded proteins and a host cell protein were present in the partially purified replic ...1979232134

theoretical study about the variability of the genome of foot-and-mouth disease viruses.1. the possibilities of change in amino acids of a protein are discussed in terms of a point mutation. 2. whereas met and trp are forced to change due to a point mutation, other amino acids (ala, arg, gly, leu, pro and val) have a probability of 1/3 to survive in the sequence. 3. on basis of these considerations, the genome from 5 strains (csp, c3ind, o1k, a10 and a12) of the foot-and-mouth disease virus was studied. 4. a hypothetical genealogic tree for these strains is suggested, where csp and ...19921310291
identification and characterization of foot-and-mouth disease virus o1 burgwedel/1987 as an intertypic recombinant.the foot-and-mouth disease virus field isolate burgwedel/1987 subtype o1 was found to differ genetically from the antigenically related strain o1 kaufbeuren within the region encoding the non-structural proteins. this genetic difference was indicated by the rnase mismatch cleavage method and confirmed by nucleotide sequencing. an alignment of sequences encoding proteinase 3c of the burgwedel isolate and several other virus strains identified this isolate as an intertypic recombinant; the parent ...19921312120
the nucleotide sequences of wild-type coxsackievirus a9 strains imply that an rgd motif in vp1 is functionally significant.we have shown previously that, compared to other enteroviruses, the coxsackievirus a9 (cav-9) prototype strain, griggs, contains a c-terminal extension to the capsid protein vp1 and that within this extension there is an rgd (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) motif. to determine whether these features are found in other cav-9 strains and therefore analyse whether they are likely to be functionally important, we have determined the nucleotide sequence of the appropriate region from five strains, is ...19921312121
