| specific human cytotoxic t cells recognize b-cell lines persistently infected with respiratory syncytial virus. | the t-lymphocyte response to respiratory syncytial (rs) virus has been invoked to explain the bronchiolitis and pneumonia caused by rs virus in human infants. however, t cells also appear to play a role in protection against rs virus infection. although rs virus-specific human lymphocytes have been demonstrated, neither the phenotype nor the function of the lymphocytes was characterized. we describe here the induction of anti-rs virus cytotoxic t lymphocytes, in both bulk culture and restimulate ... | 1986 | 3097646 |
| clinical observations on mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure in bronchiolitis. | an unusually large number of infants (82) were admitted to stanford university hospital from november 1, 1983, through may 31, 1985, with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis requiring oxygen therapy. a larger percentage of these infants (17/82 = 21%) than generally expected required mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. fourteen infants had respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) infections, and three had parainfluenza virus infections. ten patients had respiratory difficulties as neonates. the mec ... | 1986 | 3022224 |
| rapid diagnosis of respiratory virus infections in patients with acute respiratory disease. | viral respiratory infections represent a significant segment of the total respiratory disease spectrum; however, until recently the laboratory diagnosis of viral respiratory infections was relatively inefficient. development of new and improved immunologic assay systems has paved the way for accurate and reliable rapid diagnostic tests that detect viral antigens in clinical specimens. we conducted a careful and elaborate study in which radioimmunoassay for antigen detection was compared with a b ... | 1986 | 3009083 |
| simultaneous infections with different enteric and respiratory tract viruses. | infants and young children with rotavirus (rv) or visualized adenovirus in their stools were tested for the simultaneous presence of a respiratory viral pathogen in their upper respiratory tract. overall, at least 10.7% of 484 study subjects had such dual infections, including 8.3% of 385 rv-positive gastroenteritis patients and 24.3% of 37 rv-positive respiratory disease patients. respiratory syncytial virus was present in 34.1% of 41 dual infections with rv and at least 40% of the 12 to 15 dua ... | 1986 | 3009527 |
| evaluation of cell line 293 for virus isolation in routine viral diagnosis. | cell line 293, a continuous line of transformed human embryonic kidney cells, has been recognized for its sensitivity in the isolation of adenoviruses, particularly the fastidious species 40 and 41, from stool specimens. to explore the possibility of using this cell line for the isolation of other viruses from clinical specimens, 293 cells were tested for their susceptibility to a variety of viruses including herpes simplex virus, parainfluenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and the enter ... | 1986 | 3009540 |
| presence of respiratory viruses in middle ear fluids and nasal wash specimens from children with acute otitis media. | during a 28-month period, 84 children with acute otitis media were studied by viral and bacterial cultures of middle ear fluid and viral cultures of nasal lavage fluid. viruses were isolated from the middle ear fluid of 17 (20%) patients. evidence of viral infection was demonstrated by positive viral cultures of middle ear fluid and/or nasal lavage fluid in 33 (39%) patients. rhinovirus in one patient and influenza b virus in another were the only pathogens isolated. influenza virus, enterovirus ... | 1986 | 3010225 |
| patterns of viral respiratory tract infections in singapore. | a second retrospective study on viral respiratory tract infections, based on 12 years' laboratory reports for the influenza viruses, and 9 years' reports for the other respiratory viruses was made. seasonal variation in incidence was found to occur with infections due to the influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenzavirus type 1. observations made previously on the age distribution of specific respiratory viral infections, and the association of the viruses with various re ... | 1986 | 3010799 |
| fusion glycoprotein of human parainfluenza virus type 3: nucleotide sequence of the gene, direct identification of the cleavage-activation site, and comparison with other paramyxoviruses. | the complete sequences of the fusion (f) mrna and protein of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (pf3) were determined from overlapping cdna clones. to confirm the cdna sequence, the complete sequence of the f gene was determined independently by dideoxynucleotide sequencing of genomic rna using synthetic oligonucleotide primers. the mrna contains 1845 nucleotides, exclusive of poly (a), has an unusually long (193-nucleotide) 5' nontranslated region, and encodes an f0 protein of 539 amino acids. th ... | 1986 | 3012869 |

| simultaneous infection with bordetella pertussis and respiratory syncytial virus in hospitalized children. | we compared three groups of hospitalized children with bordetella pertussis infection, respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) infection and dual b. pertussis/rsv infections in an effort to establish clinical and laboratory criteria by which to distinguish children with dual infections from children infected with either organism alone. the groups were compared for admission laboratory data, history of present illness, perinatal history and immunization history. children with pertussis were more likely ... | 1986 | 2876415 |
| serologic survey of selected pathogens in white-tailed and mule deer in western nebraska. | exposure of free-ranging white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) in western nebraska to selected livestock pathogens was determined by serology and attempted virus isolation. antibodies to bluetongue virus, epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus were present in both species of deer. no serologic reactors to brucella or anaplasma were found. attempts to isolate bluetongue virus were negative. | 1986 | 2845156 |
| identification of epitopes on respiratory syncytial virus proteins by competitive binding immunoassay. | to characterize the interrelationship of monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) and their respective epitopes, we developed a competitive binding assay based on the biotin-avidin system and a tissue culture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. the competitive binding assay clearly distinguished between competing and noncompeting mabs. eight mabs against the fusion protein (f protein) demonstrated two blocking patterns consistent with two antigenic sites. mabs reacti ... | 1986 | 2420819 |
| murine cytotoxic t cells specific to respiratory syncytial virus recognize different antigenic subtypes of the virus. | the aim of this study was to establish whether cytotoxic t cells (tc), raised against respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) in the mouse, are specific to the strain of immunizing virus, or cross-reactive between virus strains. several recent studies using monoclonal antibodies have begun to define the antigenic variation among strains of rsv. it is likely that a successful rsv vaccine will need to contain antigenic determinants from more than one subtype, but since only the highest levels of neutral ... | 1986 | 2420922 |
| interferon-mediated self-limiting growth of respiratory syncytial virus in mouse embryo cells. | the growth of respiratory syncytial (rs) virus in primary mouse embryo (me) cells was investigated. the virus yields in me cells were markedly lower if compared with those in hep-2 cells, which are fully permissive for rs virus, and a remarkable production of interferon (ifn) was found in the early period of infection of the former cells. the virus yields in me cells were enhanced when antimouse ifn serum was added to the medium. indirect immunofluorescent staining of infected me cells showed th ... | 1986 | 2432168 |
| concurrent circulation of antigenically distinct strains of respiratory syncytial virus during community outbreaks. | respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) is considered to be of a single serotype. antigenic variants are detectable both by neutralization and monoclonal antibodies and have been divided into two broad categories, groups 1 and 2. group 2 isolates have been considered to be uncommon. we used indirect immunofluorescence with strain-specific monoclonal antibodies to study rsv isolates from hospitalized infants in the greater boston area. of 223 rsv isolates recovered over a five-month period in 1983-1984 ... | 1986 | 2418126 |
| analysis of the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. | at least four distinct epitopes are described on the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein (vp70) using 13 monoclonal antibodies in solid-phase competitive binding studies. two, and possibly three, fusion-inhibiting epitopes, one non-fusion-inhibiting neutralizing epitope, and one non-neutralizing epitope are described. all but the latter site demonstrated partial overlap, suggesting possible topographical proximity of these epitopes. polyclonal rabbit sera to vp70, which neutralized virus ... | 1986 | 2419491 |
| enhancement of respiratory syncytial virus pulmonary pathology in cotton rats by prior intramuscular inoculation of formalin-inactiva ted virus. | cotton rats previously inoculated with formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) were challenged intranasally with live rsv to induce an enhancement of rsv disease similar to that observed after the administration of formalin-inactivated rsv vaccine to human infants 20 years ago. within 24 h after infection with rsv, cotton rats developed pulmonary lesions that reached a maximum by day 4. histologically, the lesions resembled an experimental pulmonary arthus reaction. an action of f ... | 1986 | 2419587 |
| the detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal aspirates: assessment, formulation, and evaluation of monoclonal antibodies as a diagnostic reagent. | comparisons were made between standard methods of cell culture, indirect immunofluorescence (if) using hyperimmune respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) antiserum, and indirect if using mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against various epitopes of rsv for the detection of rsv in nasopharyngeal aspirates. the monoclonal antibodies were used singly and in pools of different specificities which in turn were tested in both direct and indirect if. in a preliminary study, aspirates from 227 infants wer ... | 1986 | 2419492 |
| respiratory syncytial virus glycoprotein expression in human and simian cell lines. | glycoproteins synthesized in both human (hela and hep-2) and simian (vero and bs-c-1) cell lines following infection with two different strains of respiratory syncytial virus (a2 and long) were analysed by sds-page following immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies. minor virus strain-dependent differences in the large glycoprotein, g, and the fusion protein polypeptides f1 and f2 were observed together with minor cell line-dependent differences in the size of the f2 polypeptide. major qua ... | 1986 | 2427648 |
| antigen mimicry involving measles virus hemagglutinin and human respiratory syncytial virus nucleoprotein. | intergenic antigenic relationships between measles virus and respiratory syncytial (rs) virus-specific structural components were studied by using monoclonal antibodies. of 75 monoclonal antibodies against these components, only one, an anti-measles virus hemagglutinin monoclonal antibody, cross-reacted. immunofluorescence analysis of measles virus- and rs virus-infected cells with this monoclonal antibody showed qualitatively different staining patterns which indicated that the antigen involved ... | 1986 | 2416956 |
| human and murine cytotoxic t cells specific to respiratory syncytial virus recognize the viral nucleoprotein (n), but not the major glycoprotein (g), expressed by vaccinia virus recombinants. | the viral antigens recognized by cytotoxic t cells (ctl) have not been defined in most viruses infecting mouse or man. natural or artificial virus recombinants can be used to determine the antigen specificity of ctl directed against viruses with segmented genomes, such as influenza, but this technique is more difficult to apply to the study of unsegmented viruses. we describe here the use of recombinant vaccinia viruses, containing cdna corresponding to either the nucleoprotein (n) gene or the m ... | 1986 | 2431051 |
| immunovirological studies on human respiratory syncytial virus structural proteins. | immunovirological studies suggest that human respiratory syncytial virus may well be composed of five structural proteins as are other members of the paramyxoviridae family: the two external membrane glycoproteins h (90 000) and fo (f1, 49 000; f2, 20 000; disulfide linked), the internal membrane protein m (34 000), the nucleoprotein n (42 000), and a protein (78 000) designated p that could be the equivalent of the polymerase of the morbillivirus and paramyxovirus genus. neutralizing monoclonal ... | 1986 | 2421860 |
| evaluation of a commercially available direct immunofluorescent staining reagent for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus in respiratory secretions. | a commercially-available direct immunofluorescence (if) reagent (imagen; boots-celltech, slough, berkshire, united kingdom) was similar in sensitivity and specificity to the conventional indirect if test for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus in respiratory secretions. both if tests were more sensitive than culture, particularly for specimens transported from outside the institution. | 1986 | 3088032 |

| rs virus diagnosis: comparison of isolation, immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay. | two techniques for rapid diagnosis, immunofluorescence (ifat) and enzyme immunoassay (eia), have been compared with virus isolation in tissue culture for the detection of respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) in specimens of nasopharyngeal secretions. the specimens were obtained from children under five years of age suffering from acute respiratory illness, during a period of six months from january to june 1982. of 471 specimens examined 54 (11.5%) were positive by virus isolation and 180 (38.2%) w ... | 1986 | 3295470 |
| nucleotide sequences for the gene junctions of human respiratory syncytial virus reveal distinctive features of intergenic structure and gene order. | complete sequences for the intergenic regions of the genome of human respiratory syncytial virus were obtained by dideoxynucleotide sequencing using synthetic oligonucleotides. these experiments established that the 10 respiratory syncytial viral genes are arranged, without additional intervening genes, in the order 3' 1c-1b-n-p-m-1a-g-f-22k-l 5'. for the first nine genes, the exact gene boundaries were identified by comparison of the genomic sequences with previously determined mrna sequences. ... | 1986 | 3460060 |
| passively acquired antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus impair the secondary cytotoxic t-cell response in the neonatal mouse. | passively acquired antibody has been known since the 1940s to impair the secondary antibody response to the homologous antigen. however, the effect of passive immunity on the t-cell response is largely unknown. the results presented here demonstrate that monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to respiratory syncytial virus (rsv), transferred in the mother's milk or injected directly, can reduce the generation of rsv-specific cytotoxic t-cell (tc) precursors by the neonatal mouse; the development of influe ... | 1986 | 3489669 |
| expression of the major glycoprotein g of human respiratory syncytial virus from recombinant vaccinia virus vectors. | the major glycoprotein, g, of human respiratory syncytial (rs) virus is a mr 84,000-90,000 species that has about 60% of its mass contributed by carbohydrate, most of which is in the form of o-linked oligosaccharides. the g protein contains neither a hydrophobic n-terminal signal sequence nor a hydrophobic c-terminal anchor region. instead, its amino acid sequence reveals only one region with significant hydrophobic character, which is between residues 38 and 66. in order to study the synthesis, ... | 1986 | 3455762 |

| common bacterial pneumonitis in infants. determining the etiology and tailoring the treatment. | in infantile pneumonia, we recommend close attention to the history and physical examination. baseline studies, including cbc, esr, blood cultures, and chest film, should be performed at onset and repeated as warranted. nasopharyngeal secretions or washings should be drawn by means of gentle suction and specimens sent for gram stain, fluorescent antibody stain for respiratory syncytial virus, and culture for bacteria and for viruses if possible. acute and convalescent serum specimens should be o ... | 1986 | 3511465 |
| flunixin meglumine in calves with natural bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection. | twenty-three calves (three to eight months of age) with serological evidence of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection were used in this study. the calves originated from four herds with respiratory tract disease. in a double blind trial the calves were injected intravenously with either flunixin meglumine (2 mg/kg body weight) or with a placebo. the effect on the course of disease was measured using the po2 in capillary blood samples from the ears of the calves and by the effect on body t ... | 1986 | 3511602 |
| detection of respiratory syncytial virus in nasopharyngeal secretions by a biotin-avidin elisa more sensitive than the fluorescent antibody technique. | the presence of respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) was investigated by immunofluorescent antibody (if) technique and by a biotin/avidin (ba) elisa in 156 samples of nasopharyngeal secretions (nps) obtained from infants and small children with acute respiratory disease. of 70 rsv-if-positive nps, 68 were positive by ba-elisa. of 86 rsv-if-negative nps, eight were positive by ba-elisa. ba-elisa could detect 0.5-1.0 ng rsv-protein. | 1986 | 3512768 |
| neonatal respiratory syncytial virus infection: role of transplacentally and breast milk-acquired antibodies. | the effect of transplacentally and breast milk-acquired antibodies on respiratory syncytial virus infection was studied in neonatal and 2-month-old cotton rats. adult female rats infected intranasally with live virus regularly produced virus-specific antibodies in the serum, colostrum, and breast milk. by using foster feeding techniques, we showed that both transplacentally and breast milk-acquired antibodies were effective in reducing the replication of respiratory syncytial virus in the lungs ... | 1986 | 3512852 |
| resistance to human respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) infection induced by immunization of cotton rats with a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the rsv g glycoprotein. | a cdna copy of the g glycoprotein gene of human respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) was placed under control of a vaccinia virus promoter and inserted into the thymidine kinase locus of the vaccinia virus genome. the recombinant vaccinia virus retained infectivity and expressed a 93-kda protein that migrated with the authentic rsv g glycoprotein upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. glycosylation of the expressed protein and transport to the cell surface were demonstrated in the absence of othe ... | 1986 | 3513191 |
| a live pasteurella haemolytica vaccine efficacy trial. | a live pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 vaccine was used in an efficacy trial conducted on 100 lightweight feeder calves purchased from a florida ranch. forty-one calves were inoculated with the vaccine intradermally in the neck. fifty-nine calves served as nonvaccinated controls. fourteen days later, the calves were shipped to an order buyer in eastern tennessee, where the calves were mixed with 60 local calves in a community sale barn for 72 hours. after 3 additional days, the calves were sh ... | 1986 | 3514562 |
