| comparison of commercial kits for the detection of antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) in nigeria. | four commercial kits for the detection of antibodies to hiv-1 were compared with regard to their sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. the wellcozyme competitive enzyme immunoassay was the least sensitive (62.5%), while roche eia, was the most sensitive (100%). all the commercial kits gave false negative results except the roche eia system. the serodia particle agglutination test had the least positive predictive value of 26.9% while roche eia had the highest (88.9%). our resul ... | 1990 | 2191859 |
| sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the rapid diagnosis of influenza a virus infections in clinical specimens. | samples of nasopharyngeal secretion (nps) from 100 infants and small children admitted for acute respiratory disease during the period from january to march 1989 were examined for the presence of influenza a virus. all samples were tested by enzyme immunoassay (eia), fluorescent antibody (fa) technique and by isolation in cell culture 3-6 h after they were obtained from the patients. of 24 influenza strains found by isolation, 21 were detected by eia and 19 were fa+. in comparison with virus iso ... | 1990 | 2203125 |
| replication of two porcine parvovirus isolates at non-permissive temperatures. | previous studies have shown that replication in vitro of the porcine parvovirus (ppv) isolate, kbsh, was restricted at 39 degrees c but not at 37 degrees c. in contrast, replication of the kresse isolate was restricted at 37 degrees c but not at 39 degrees c. in this study, kresse and kbsh isolates were passaged up to ten times in swine testicle (st) cells at non-permissive temperatures, and at subsequent passage viral protein synthesis, viral dna synthesis, and progeny virus were evaluated. kbs ... | 1990 | 2222184 |
| rna helicase: a novel activity associated with a protein encoded by a positive strand rna virus. | most positive strand rna viruses infecting plants and animals encode proteins containing the so-called nucleotide binding motif (ntbm) (1) in their amino acid sequences (2). as suggested from the high level of sequence similarity of these viral proteins with the recently described superfamilies of helicase-like proteins (3-5), the ntbm-containing cylindrical inclusion (ci) protein from plum pox virus (ppv), which belongs to the potyvirus group of positive strand rna viruses, is shown to be able ... | 1990 | 2263459 |
| mutational analysis of plum pox potyvirus polyprotein processing by the nia protease in escherichia coli. | a binary escherichia coli expression system has been used to study the pathway for proteolytic processing of the plum pox potyvirus (ppv) polyprotein. trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the cylindrical inclusion protein occurred, although with lower efficiency than that at the large nuclear inclusion protein-capsid protein junction. no trans cleavage at the carboxyl end of the small nuclear inclusion protein (nia) was detected. the proteolytic activities at different cleavage sites of several ... | 1990 | 2273380 |
| excretion of porcine parvovirus through the genital tract of boars. | the putative binding of porcine parvovirus (ppv) to semen components in vitro was examined along with the shedding pattern of ppv in oronasally infected boars. porcine parvovirus dna was determined to be bound to spermatozoa that had been incubated in vitro with ppv and washed to remove loosely adherent virus. to determine whether ppv was shed in the semen, four 8-month-old boars, seronegative for ppv, were inoculated oronasally with a virulent strain of ppv. prior to virus inoculation, a cathet ... | 1990 | 2316910 |
| infectious in vitro transcripts from a plum pox potyvirus cdna clone. | a full-length cdna clone of the 9786 nt plum pox virus (ppv) rna genome has been cloned downstream from a phage t7 rna polymerase promoter. the rnas synthesized by in vitro run-off transcription in the presence of the 5' cap analog m7gpppg were infectious in nicotiana clevelandii plants. no infectivity was detected when the transcriptions were carried out in the absence of the cap analog. inoculations of the local lesion host chenopodium foetidum indicated that the infectivity of the synthetic t ... | 1990 | 2371774 |
| detection of the trans activity of the plum pox virus nia-like protease in infected plants. | the nia-like protein of plum pox virus is a protease with high sequence specificity that is autocatalytically released from the viral polyprotein. in order to determine whether the protease is active in trans we constructed a fusion protein consisting of the c-terminal region of the plum pox virus polyprotein and the staphylococcal protein a. the authentic protease recognition sequence asn-val-val-val-his-gln-ala occurs in the centre of this protein fusion. this protein was cleaved specifically ... | 1990 | 2197372 |
| determination of polyprotein processing sites by amino terminal sequencing of nonstructural proteins encoded by plum pox potyvirus. | nonstructural proteins of plum pox potyvirus were partially purified following a procedure described for the isolation of tobacco etch virus nuclear inclusion proteins. plum pox virus proteins with electrophoretic mobilities corresponding to 49, 59 and 68 kda reacted with antibodies against the 49 kda and 54 kda components of the nuclear inclusions and the 70 kda component of the cylindrical inclusions of tobacco etch virus, respectively. further purification by size exclusion high performance l ... | 1990 | 2138835 |
| in vitro exposure of preimplantation porcine embryos to porcine parvovirus. | early porcine embryos at the four- to eight-cell stage can be infected with either the virulent (nadl-8) or avirulent kbsh strain of porcine parvovirus (ppv) by microinjection or by incubation of embryos with virus. treatment of embryos by microinjection of virus or incubation in media with virus did not significantly inhibit in vitro development of the embryos when compared with untreated controls. rna-dna hybridization was used to identify the presence of virus associated with embryos. it was ... | 1990 | 16726750 |
| a pcr membrane spot assay for the detection of plum pox virus rna in bark of infected trees. | a procedure for sensitive detection of plum pox virus rna in infected bark of trees is described. the method is based on the extraction of bark material with buffer containing proteinase k followed by partial purification of rna using quiagen anion exchange resin. the rna is then reverse transcribed, the single stranded cdna is amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using biotinylated deoxynucleotides as label. the amplified cdna can subsequently be detected by spotting the reaction mixture ... | 1991 | 1864904 |
| novel catalytic activity associated with positive-strand rna virus infection: nucleic acid-stimulated atpase activity of the plum pox potyvirus helicaselike protein. | the cylindrical inclusion protein of potyviruses contains the so-called nucleoside triphosphate binding motif, an amino acid sequence motif present in proteins encoded by most positive-strand rna viruses, some double-strand rna viruses, apparently all groups of double-strand dna viruses, and also several single-strand dna viruses. further sequence analysis has allowed to include the cylindrical inclusion protein of potyviruses as a member of a superfamily of helicaselike proteins. in this paper ... | 1991 | 1845877 |
| proteolytic activity of plum pox virus-tobacco etch virus chimeric nia proteases. | plasmids encoding chimeric nia-type proteases made of sequences from the potyviruses plum pox virus (ppv) and tobacco etch virus (tev) have been constructed. their proteolytic activity on the large nuclear inclusion protein (nib)-capsid protein (cp) junction of each virus was assayed in escherichia coli cells. the amino half of the protease seemed to be involved neither in the enzymatic catalysis nor in substrate recognition. in spite of the large homology among the ppv and tev nia-type protease ... | 1991 | 2015911 |
| plum pox potyvirus rna replication in a crude membrane fraction from infected nicotiana clevelandii leaves. | in vitro synthesis of plum pox potyvirus (ppv)-specific nucleic acid has been measured in a crude fraction prepared from leaves of ppv-infected nicotiana clevelandii plants. using alkali and dnase treatments, the synthesized nucleic acid was shown to be rna. the electrophoretic mobility and the differing sensitivity to rnase at high and low salt concentrations allowed the identification of in vitro products probably corresponding to replicative form and replicative intermediate rna, as well as t ... | 1991 | 2016593 |
