| immunity to hantavirus challenge in meriones unguiculatus induced by vaccinia-vectored viral proteins. | vaccinia virus recombinants were constructed that incorporated genomic sequences coding for the nucleoprotein (n) and glycoproteins (g1 and g2) of the hantavirus r22 strain isolated from a rat in china, and designated as rnv and rmv9, respectively. the proteins expressed by rnv and rmv9 were identified by radioimmunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence assay using a panel of monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal immune sera, and were found to be antigenically indistinguishable from authe ... | 1992 | 1359802 |
| molecular characterization and expression of glycoprotein gene of hantavirus r22 strain isolated from rattus norvegicus in china. | a cdna containing the complete open reading frame of the m genome segment of hantavirus r22 strain isolated from rattus norvegicus in china, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr), and then cloned. the m segment is 3656 nucleotides in length with a predicted region of 3402 bases encoding a precursor glycoprotein of 1134 amino acids subsequently processed into viral glycoproteins 1 and 2 (g1 and g2). a strain comparison between r22 and sr11 (isolated from a rat in japan), and hantaan 76 ... | 1991 | 1962503 |
| evidence of hantavirus in wild rodents in northern ireland. | a survey of evidence of rodent hantavirus infection in county down, northern ireland was carried out by using immunofluorescence to detect virus antigen and antibody. antibodies to hantavirus (r22 strain of seoul virus and hantaan 76-118) were found in 11/51 (21.6%) brown rats (rattus norvegicus), 1/31 (3.2%) field mice (apodemus sylvaticus) and 17/59 (28.8%) house mice (mus domesticus). seven rodents had evidence of hantavirus antigen in lung tissues. antibody positive animals were significantl ... | 1996 | 8870634 |
