certain aspects of foot--and--mouth disease. virus production in growing bhk suspended cell cultures.production of fmdv in growing bhk suspended cell cultures offers several technical advantages: no medium change and no sedimentation of cells prior to infection are needed, thus saving time and medium. however, the final product should be as free of serum proteins as possible. for this purpose polyethylene-glycol-(peg)-treated serum can be used for the stimulation of cell growth in combination with precipitation of the virus with peg. with this method virus preparations are obtained in which pra ...1976198314
studies on the susceptibility to foot--and--mouth disease virus of bhk cell cultures derived from various sources.cultures of bhk monolayer and suspension cells obtained from a number of laboratories and a group of cloned sub-lines derived from suspension cells were examined for their susceptibility to three fmd virus strains. it was found that the various cultures were sensitive to the test virus strains to differing degrees. it was shown possible to obtain a clone with high susceptibility to asia 1 iran 1/73 virus from a parent culture which had a low susceptibility to that virus. the implication of these ...1976198315
reproducibility of yields of foot--and--mouth disease virus from bhk monolayer and suspension cells.the production of fmd virus from bhk 21 c13 monolayer and suspension cells was examined under standardized conditions and in different systems. the yields of virus from suspension cells did not significantly exceed the yield from monolayer cells, whereas the monolayer cell was capable of producing virus from some strains of fmd virus which would not grow in suspension cells. when different production systems were examined, the scale of operation did not significantly influence the yield of virus ...1976198316
the airborne dispersal of foot-and-mouth disease virus from vaccinated and recovered pigs, cattle and sheep after exposure to infection.foot-and-mouth disease virus was detected during two periods in the air of looseboxes which housed susceptible, vaccinated or recovered pigs, cattle or sheep exposed to infection. the first was 30 min to 22 h after exposure and occurred in all animals. the second was two to seven days after exposure and occurred with those susceptible and vaccinated animals which developed clinical lesions, and with vaccinated and recovered pigs and sheep, which did not develop clinical lesions. vaccination of a ...1977198862
modeling and computer stimulation approach to the mechanism of foot-and-mouth disease virus neutralization assays.block neutralization data since 1949 for the foot-and-mouth disease virus system have been analyzed in terms of a unified mass-action theory for computing the amounts of infectious complexes. proof that infectious complexes contribute considerably to the assays was obtained by demonstrating a reduction in titer after an additional reaction with anti-ig antibody before the assay. in the suckling-mice assay with intraperitoneal inoculation, both the data of others and our own on several types indi ...1977197591
evidence for a mouse pathogenicity locus in certain temperature-sensitive mutants of foot-and-mouth disease virus.serial tissue culture passaging of three foot-and-mouth disease temperature-sensitive mutants demonstrated the stability of their temperature sensitivity and mouse avirulence characteristics. recovery of mouse-virulent temperature-sensitive viruses after passage of the mutants in mice suggested that these were not covariant expressions of the same locus, but were under the control of different genes.1977197007

dose-response relationships in a microneutralization test for foot-and-mouth disease viruses.two-dimensional quantal microneutralization tests on foot-and-mouth disease viruses, in which neutralizing antibody activity was titrated against a serial range of virus doses, demonstrated a variety of dose-response curves some of which were rectilinear, others clearly curvilinear. moreover, in the case of the non-linear responses obtained with some antisera, the shape of the curve was such that antibody titres recorded with doses of virus ranging from 10(3)-10(5) tcd50 were closely similar. st ...1978202650
cross reaction between bovine enterovirus and south african territories i5 foot-and-mouth disease virus.a bovine enterovirus (e76t) isolated from a 2-year-old bull produced serologic cross reactions to south african territories (sat) i5 foot-and-mouth disease virus when inoculated into guinea pigs and cattle. cross-reacting serum titers to sat i5 virus of 1:320 by the plaque-reduction neutralization test and 1:20 by the radial immunodiffusion test occurred in 2 steers after they were inoculated with the e76t virus. in 1 steer, maximal cross-reacting titers appeared related to a 2nd exposure to the ...1978204230
effect of zinc and other chemical agents on foot-and-mouth-disease virus replication.chemical agents reported to inhibit the growth of various ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid viruses were tested against foot-and-mouth disease virus in cell culture. these included zn(2+), aurintricarboxylic acid, polyribocytidylic acid, polyriboinosinic acid, phosphonoacetic acid, and the viral contact inactivator n-methyl isatin beta-thiosemicarbazone alone and with cuso(4). the most effective agent, zn(2+), inhibited foot-and-mouth disease virus production in primary calf kidney cell ...1978208461
more precise location of the polycytidylic acid tract in foot and mouth disease virus rna.the polycytidylic acid [poly(c)] tract in foot and mouth disease virus rna has been located about 400 nucleotides from the 5' end of the rna by analysis of the products from the digestion of the rna with rnase h in the presence of oligodeoxyguanylic acid [oligo(dg)]. this treatment produces a small fragment (s) containing the small protein covalently linked to the rna and a large fragment (l) that migrates faster than untreated rna on low-percentage polyacrylamide gels, lacks the poly(c) tract a ...1978207892
ribonuclease activities associated with purified foot and mouth disease virus.ribonuclease activities internally and externally associated with purified foot-and mouth disease virus were detected. the outer activity was easily removed by cesium chloride or by detergent (sarkosyl). the inner activity is not removable by any procedure used and could be the enzyme responsible for the heterogeneity normally observed in the extracted fmdv-rna. it is not known at present if both activities are related to the same or to different enzymes.1978208488

secretory antibody responses in cattle infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus.antibody responses in serum, saliva, nasal secretions, or esophageal-pharyngeal fluid of foot-and-mouth disease virus-infected steers were examined by single radial immunodiffusion and mouse-neutralization tests. in steers infected with type o foot-and-mouth disease virus, high serum antibody titers were detected within 10 days after infection. antibody was first detected in saliva at 30 days and gradually increased to a plateau at about 90 days. small amounts of antibody continued to be secrete ...1978209706
the detection of antibody to virus-infection associated (via) antigen in various species of african wildlife following natural and experimental infection with foot and mouth disease virus.the double immuno-diffusion (did) test has been applied to detect antibody to via antigen in sera from various species of african wild ungulates. in conjunction with the serum neutralisation (sn) test it can be used to decide the degree of risk of movement of animals to other countries free from foot and mouth disease (fmd). the value of the test in assessing the history of infection is limited by its relatively low sensitivity and specificity in respect of virus type.1978210744
microneutralization tests for serological typing and subtyping of foot-and-mouth disease virus strains.a microneutralization test for serotyping of fmd viruses is described. it is based on earlier observations by booth, rweyemamu & pay (1978) that dose-response relationships in quantal microneutralizations often deviated from linearity. the typing test described therefore utilizes undiluted virus preparations. in about 90% of samples a positive typing was obtained in contrast with about 50% for the complement fixation test. the test was also found to be susceptible to minimal quantities of hetero ...1978211160

the effect of cesium salts on dense poliovirus particles.the buoyant density of dense poliovirus particles has been examined in density gradients other than cesium chloride in order to determine the dependence of this property on the nature of the solvent. in urografin (sodium and methylglucamine amidotrizoate), dense poliovirus particles banded at two densities--1.33 and 1.39 g/cm(3)--whereas in cesium metrizoate they banded only at 1.39 g/cm(3) and in cesium sulfate at 1.38 g/cm(3). the presence of cesium ions gives rise to the occurrence of dense p ...1978213398
early events in the interaction between foot-and mouth disease virus and primary pig kidney cells.foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) attached to pig kidney cells at 0 degrees c and could only be recovered in a form with a sedimentation coefficient and buoyant density lower than that of the native virus. incubation of the virus-cell complex at 37 degrees c caused disruption of about 80% of the particles into a 12s protein sub-unit that had the same polypeptide composition as that produced by reducing the ph of the virus below ph7. the remaining 20% had the same polypeptide and rna compositio ...1978214518
a re-appraisal of the biochemical map of foot-and-mouth disease virus rna.the proteins induced by infection of bhk 21 cells with foot-and-mouth disease virus have been compared by tryptic peptide analysis. the results indicate that there are three primary products 5'--p88, p52, p100--3'. the polypeptide p56, which we considered previously to be a primary product, is derived from the region of the genome that codes for p100. the results indicate that there are alternative cleavage pathways of p100, the polypeptide coded for by the 3' end of the genome.1978214522

some aspects of fmdv-production in growing cells and a closed system for concentration of fmdv by polyethylene glycol.different commercially available peptone preparations, all derived by enzymatic digestion of meat, were tested for their ability to replace the individual amino acids and polyethylene glycol (peg)-treated serum in bhk suspended cell culture growth medium. cell growth was not impaired if the individual amino acids were replaced by 3 g/l of peptone in combination with 3 g/l lah and 5% peg-treated bovine serum. the concentration of the latter could be reduced to 1% by gradually lowering the concent ...1979223924
immunity to foot-and-mouth disease virus in guinea pigs: clinical and immune responses.clinical and immune responses were determined for guinea pigs infected with different doses of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) type a12, strain 119, administered by different routes. vesicles developed on the tongue or heel pad 1 day after these areas were intradermally inoculated with fmdv. however, vesicles did not develop on the feet and tongue until 3 to 4 days after the intradermal inoculation of fmdv in the flank skin or after intracardiac or subcutaneous inoculation. infected guinea p ...1979223986
[serologic study of 2 strains of foot-and-mouth virus, cultured in cell line ib-rs-2, clone 26-3].the antigenic characteristics of the two fmdv plaque size variants asq-pg and asq-pp were studied by serum neutralization kinetics. the results evidentiated that the antiserum asq-pg and asq-pp neutralized both variants at the same extent. the plaque population of these variants after passage in laboratory animals was compared in ib-rs-2 cells.1978224836
[effect of hormones on the susceptibility of the swine cell line ib-rs-2 to foot-and-mouth disease virus].the actions of hydrocortisone and insulin on the multiplication of foot-and-mouth disease virus were studied. the data obtained showed that the infectivity and the synthesis of the virus nucleic acid as evaluated through the plaque assay method and the kinetics of uridine-3h incorporation were increased or decreased by hydrocortisone (2 x 10(-6) m). the induction of both effects seems to be related to the carbohydrate metabolism: when the maintenance medium contained glucose or glucose plus calf ...1978224839
[isolation of foot-and mouth disease virus in swine with other diseases].the authors took a survey of foot-and-mouth disease samples of myocardium and tonsil from swine which was died without clinicals signs of foot-and-mouth disease, with isolation of virus, type o, a and c. it was observed and accentuated relation between the incidence of hog cholera, pneumonia and atipic foot-and-mouth disease, especially from suckling pigs.1978224841
cell culture on beads used for the industrial production of foot-and-mouth disease virus.the microcarrier culture technique has been applied to a pig kidney cell line. microcarriers consisted of deae sephadex a 50 beads washed and containing carboxymethyl cellulose. sifted beads gave better results than unclassified material. cells for inoculum were prepared in roux flasks. the two types of fermentors which were used (operating capacity 100 l and 150 l) gave similar results. the growth of the cells can easily be followed by microscopic observation and cell count. the yields of cells ...1979223917

excretion of foot-and-mouth disease virus in oesophageal-pharyngeal fluid and milk of cattle after intranasal infection.the virus growth in the pharyngeal area and the virus excretion in milk of susceptible and vaccinated dairy cows after intranasal instillation of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus type o1 were examined. ten vaccinated cows were purchased through a market. of these, nine had delivered their first calf. the cows were inoculated 2-9 months after having received the last dose of vaccine. all vaccinated cows resisted the intranasal challenge. the virus multiplied in the pharyngeal area but, compared ...1978215675
morphogenesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus. i. role of procapsids as virion precursors.the role of procapsids during foot-and-mouth disease virus multiplication was studied on infected bhk-21 cells. purified virus and procapsids were obtained by treating the infected cytoplasmic extracts with rnase and edta. the synthesis of virus, procapsids, and total particles was determined in pulse-chase experiments. a precursor-product relationship between procapsids and virions was obtained. the results show that the rate of synthesis of total particles (virus + procapsids) was linear from ...1979225534
[subtypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus type a. genetic markers of clones obtained from 4 strains isolated in argentina between 1961 and 1970].the results obtained studying the genetic markers g, t and rtc of different clones of subtypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus type a are presented in this paper. the subtypes were isolated during outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in argentine. no significative differences among the subtypes were observed with the t marker. for the other markers, the results seem to indicate a gradual change related with the serological variation. because of their sensibility to guanidine hidrochloride, it is ...1979231800
isolation and characterization of trypsin-resistant o1 variants of foot-and-mouth disease virus.strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus of types o1 and a10 were isolated which showed no significant loss of infectivity upon trypsinization. these 'trypsin-resistant' (tr) viruses were obtained by serial passage in bhk cells of virus that was trypsin-treated before inoculation of the cells. three o1 isolates were cloned and studied further. cell attachment of those tr o1 variants (otr1) was not reduced by trypsinization, unlike that of parent virus. the polypeptide compositions of tr viruses a ...1979225425
