defense mechanisms against bovine herpesvirus: relationship of virus-host cell events to susceptibility to antibody-complement cell lysis.the interaction of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and susceptible host cells was examined to determine whether an infected cell could be destroyed by humoral immune mechanisms before or after the transmission of virus to susceptible adjacent cells. viral antigens were detectable on cell membranes at 6 h postinfection, but cells were not susceptible to antibody-complement lysis until 10 h postinfection. intracellular infectious virus was also detectable at 10 h postinfection, and transmi ...197553206
characterization of a new serotype of marek's disease herpesvirus.the hprs-24 strain of marek's disease herpesvirus was selected for closer study from a group of virus isolates that appeared apathogenic under standard test conditons. protection studies revealed an immunological relationship between this virus strain and acute marek's disease herpesvirus. in chicken kidney cell cultures, the hprs-24 strain caused small and slowly developing plaques, and the proportion of infected cells was less than with other strains. in chicken embryo fibroblast cultures, thi ...197566180
t-lymphoblastoid cell lines from marek's disease lymphomas.the establishment and continuous culture of two lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from marek's disease lymphomas is described. although the cells carried t-lymphocyte surface antigens, they had many features in common with cultured burkitt's lymphoma lymphoblasts, which carry b-cell determinants. a small proportion acted as infectious units in tissue culture, and a similarly small proportion contained intranuclear immature herpesvirus particles. the cells did not respond to phytohaemagglutinin. ...197566182
virus infections in renal transplant recipients.534 serum samples from 73 renal transplant recipients, 41 haemodialysis patients, and 99 blood and organ donors were examined serologically for antibodies against cytomegalo, h. simplex (types 1 and 2), varicella-zoster, epstein-barr, adeno, influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial, measles, picorna- and human polyoma- viruses. serum specimens were stored in the lyophilized state until examined thus enabling a simultaneous testing of all samples belonging to one patient. all antigens, com ...1975126545
coital exanthema in stallions.equine coital exanthema can be produced experimentally in stallions by inoculation with an equine herpesvirus (strain 65/61) and be transmitted during coitus with an infected mare. serological responses to this infection include the production of complement-fixing and serum-neutralizing antibodies which reach maximum levels 14 to 21 days after infection. complement-fixing antibodies decline rapidly and are usually not detectable by 60 days after infection, whereas serum-neutralizing antibody act ...1975173847
experimental studies on equine herpesvirus type 1 infections.the ehv-1 viruses of fetal origin grew better and had a wider tissue culture host range than those isolated from horses with respiratory diseases. comparisons of a fetal isolate (f/304) and a respiratory disease isolate (r/nm-3) in partly immune horses showed that the f/304 virus infected horses more readily, grew better in the nasopharynx, was more likely to cause abortion, and was excreted to a greater extent into the environment.1975173849
attenuation of herpesvirus saimiri for marmosets after successive passage in cell culture at 39 degrees c.a variant of herpesvirus saimiri (hvs) stably attenuated for marmosets was isolated after serial passage of wild-type hvs in cell culture at 39 degrees c. marmosets previously inoculated with attenuated virus experienced a significant delay in the development of lymphoma when challenged with wild-type hvs.1975173864
in vitro evaluation of cell-mediated immunity to epstein-barr herpesvirus by cell migration inhibition tests.migration of peripheral leukocytes in samples from sensitized [epstein-barr virus (ebv) antibody-positive] humans was greatly inhibited when challenged by antigen prepared from ebv-producing p3hr-1 cells but not by antigen prepared from ebv-nonproducing raji cells, ebv-negative human fibroblasts, or epithelial cells. such inhibition was not observed when peripheral leuocytes from subjects or neonates not sensitized to ebv were challenged. similar results were obtained in a two-stage test when th ...1975173867

the pathogenesis of simian varicella virus in cynomolgus monkeys.the mlm herpesvirus is infectious for cynomolgus monkeys. the disease in this species, possibly modulated by preinoculation antibody resembles human varicella. virus has been recovered from blood during the early incubation period, and from liver, lymph nodes, kidney, bladder and urine during the eruptive period of infection. the major target organs were skin and liver; specific pathological changes developed in both. appropriate antibody responses, including those to herpesvirus varicellae foll ...1975174129
enhancement and interference in chickens inoculated with marek's disease herpesvirus and oncornaviruses.enhancement of mortality rates and symptomatology was observed in isolator-held lsi-spf chickens concurrently inoculated with mdhv and avian oncornaviruses (rav-1, rav-2, rav-7, rav-50, or rev). interference with md antigen production also was demonstrated in extracts of the feather follicle epithelium from chickens inoculated with both mdhv and rav-1.1975174137
genital infection of female hamsters with herpesvirus hominis type 2 (hvh-2).intravaginal inoculation of female hamsters (40-65 g) with hvh-2 (6 x 105 pfu) results in an infection of 40-67% of the animals. the illness is characterized by vaginitis with discharge, paralysis, and finally death. washing the vagina with saline 30 min prior to virus inoculation enhances the infection so that 80-100% of the animals eventually die. virus can be isolated from the vagina within 1-2 days after inoculation. evidence of infection of the spinal cord is apparent by the third day where ...1975174142

experimental latent herpesvirus infection in rabbits, mice and hamsters: ultrastructure of the virus activation in explanted gasseric ganglia.the frequency of latent infection as established in trigeminal ganglia of rabbits, mice and hamsters with human herpesvirus type 1 (hvh) was compared using two different virus strains. explantation proved to be effective in reisolation of hvh from ganglion tissue, which did not yield infectious virus at time of its removal. after healing of acute keratitis, the latent infection in homolateral gasseric ganglia of rabbits was detected at a relatively high frequency (60-80 per cent) up to 120 days ...1975235193
duck viral enteritis (duck plague) characteristics and immune response of the host.duck viral enteritis (dve) is caused by a herpesvirus whose biologic and physical characteristics are similar to those described for the group of herpesviruses. only one immunologic and serologic type is known. a low level of neutralizing antibodies is developed in waterfowl vaccinated with the chicken embryo attenuated dve virus. a marked anamnestic serologic response resulted from challenge with virulent virus. waterfowl resisting exposure with virulent virus were solidly immune. however, wate ...1975235868
herpesvirus-induced availability of host dna to exogenous endonuclease.deoxyribonuclease i penetrates herpesvirus-infected l cells and degrades host dna without interfering with viral multiplication. the dna of uninfected control monolayers of l cells, disrupted by scraping, is similarly attacked. in contrast, undisturbed l cells are not affected. this suggests that altered cell membrane permeability allows the nuclease to enter the cell, thereby permitting access of exogenous deoxyribonuclease to cellular dna.1975241244
repetitive sequences in complete and defective genomes of herpesvirus saimiri.two types of herpesvirus saimiri genomes can be isolated from purified virions: (i) the m genome is a double-stranded, liniear dna molecule with a mean contour length corresponding to 89 times 10-6 daltons. the m genome contains about 70% of unique sequences (light dna, 36% guanine plus cytosine) and 30% reiterated sequences (heavy dna, 71% guanine plus cytosine). (ii) the h genome is composed of heavy dna only and is more heterogeneous in size. the sequences in the h genome are up to 40-fold re ...1975803569
effect of maternal immunity against development of marek's disease and protective ability of vaccine.experiments were conducted to determine the susceptibility of chicks to marek's disease and the protective effect of the vaccine prepared from herpesvirus of turkey (hvt) on progeny from dams infected with marek's disease virus (mdv), or hvt, or both when they were young. chicks from dams infected with mdv or hvt-mdv were protected from the development of marek's disease when challenged at 3 days of age. the degree of protection decreased when the time of challenge was delayed; no protection was ...1975804667
a killed vaccine derived from the oncogenic herpesvirus ateles.a killed herpesvirus vaccine was prepared by inactivation of the oncogenic herpesvirus ateles (hva) with heat and formaldehyde. the vaccine proved safe in 9 marmosets (saguinus oedipus) during a period of 461 days. the vaccinated marmosets developed high titers of serum antibodies against hva and were resistant to 316 lethal dose 50 (ld50) cell-free hva; the nonvaccinated control monkeys died of malignant lymphoma. the 5 challenged monkeys are clinically well and have now been under observation ...1975808642
transformation in vitro with herpesvirus ateles.continuous lymphoblastoid cell cultures were established after transformation invitro with hva of marmoset splenic or circulating lymphocytes. transformation was achieved by co-cultivating lymphocytes with lethally x-irradiated, hva-carrying cells (derived originally from tumour cells of a marmoset experimentally infected with hva) or by infecting marmoset lymphocytes with cell-free virus. tenty-eight continous cultures from 39 that underwent co-cultivation and two of four lymphocyte preparation ...1975828140
