evidence for recombination between two different immunological types of foot-and-mouth disease virus.recombination was observed between temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of two immunological types of foot-and-mouth disease virus which were distinguishable by two marker characteristics in addition to their antigenic type. putative ts+ recombinants were isolated and the segregation patterns of their marker characteristics examined. the results are discussed in terms of the origin of new sub-type strains.1975180948
growth of foot-and-mouth disease virus in the upper respiratory tract of non-immunized, vaccinated, and recovered cattle after intranasal inoculation.non-immunized, vaccinated, and recovered cattle were inoculated intranasally with various doses of foot-and-mouth disease virus. samples of oesophageal-pharyngeal (op) fluid were taken periodically for up to 7 days after inoculation and virus titres of these samples were plotted as pharyngeal virus growth curves. in non-immunized cattle, the length of the lag period and of the growth period were inversely proportional to the dose of virus given. maximum titres were observed when clinical signs w ...1976180177
the production of foot-and-mouth disease virus from bhk 21 c 13 cells grown on the surface of deae sephadex a50 beads.methods are described which make possible the production of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus from bhk 21 c13 monolayer cells which have been grown on the surface of serum coated deae sephadex a50 beads. the yield of cells and their susceptibility to infection by fmd virus are equivalent to conventional roux monolayer systems. the potential for the commercial application of the deae sephadex a50 system is discussed in relation to other unit process monolayer systems and in particular to the sys ...1976179635
the production of foot-and-mouth disease virus from bhk 21 c 13 cells grown on the surface of glass spheres.in view of the advantages which are associated with the use of the bhk monolayer cell for the production of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus, a unit system using glass spheres was developed to grow bhk monolayer cells and to test the susceptibility of such cells to fmd virus. the yield of cells and their susceptibility compares favorably with green bhk monolayer cells which have been grown in roux bottles.1976179634
experimental placental transfer of foot-and-mouth disease virus in mice.an attenuated type o foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus which was virulent for infant, but not for pregnant, mice proved to be superior to a virulent type c fmd virus in the development of a model system for the study of placental transfer of fmd in mice. when mice were inoculated at day 8 or 12 of gestation with type o fmd virus, the virus was detectable in the maternal pancreas for 3 days and in the placenta for 6 days. viral levels in the fetus and the amniotic fluid were inconsistent and wer ...1976179452
[study of the indirect complement fixation test for use in the differentiation of foot-and-mouth disease viruses and the determination of immunity].studies were carried out to establish the optimal conditions for the indirect complement-fixation test (icft) and explore the possibility to use the test in differentiating the foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) viruses and checking the immunity obtained in survivals or in animals that had been vaccinated against fmd. it was demonstrated that the proper use of icft necessitates in turn the use of a minimal amount of antigen, which in the presence of 1-2 e homologous hyperimmune serum completely binds ...1975179191
a major difference in the strategy of the calici- and picornaviruses and its significance in classification.pig kidney (1brs-2) cells infected with vesicular exanthema virus (vev), a calicivirus, did not contain any large precursor polypeptides similar to those found when they were infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv). the largest induced protein found in the vev-infected cells had a molecular weight identical with that of the virus structural polypeptide. this difference in strategy between vev and fmdv, taken in conjunction with the morphological and structural differences described pre ...1975178628
characterization of the minor polypeptides in the foot-and-mouth disease particle.in addition to the four major polypeptides vp1 and vp4, foot-and-mouth disease virus particles contain two minor polypeptides, mol. wt. 40 x 10(3) (p40) and 52 x 10(3) (p52). extensive purification procedures failed to remove these minor polypeptides from the virus particles. polypeptide p40 co-electrophoresed in sds-polyacrylamide gels with vp0, the probable precursor of vp2 and vp4 and was inaccessible to iodination in situ. the second minor polypeptide, p52, co-electrophoresed with the virus ...1976177728
a comparison of molecular weights of foot-and-mouth disease virus rna fragments determined from lengths and s-rates.a comparison was made of the calculated mol. wt. of rna fragments from foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) types a12 strain 119, c3 resende and o1 brugge. the mol. wt. were calculated by two methods: from the measurements of strand lengths in the electron micrographs and from the observed sedimentation rates (s-rates). rna extracted from virus by dialysis against water usually had three to four prominent strands of different lengths. mol. wt. calculated from s-rates (and converted to strand leng ...1976177721
