"fingerprinting" high molecular weight rna by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis: application to poliovirus rna.conditions are described under which complete rnase t1 digests of high molecular weight rna can be separated into numerous components by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. small and large oligonucleotides (n = 1 - 2c0) can be resolved without losses. the procedure yields fingerprints which are diagnostic for a particular species of rna and an index of its purity as will be shown for the genomes of poliovirus type 1 and 2.1976184435
interferon-induced inhibition of protein synthesis in l-cell extracts: an atp-dependent step in the activation of an inhibitor by double-stranded rna.the translation of encephalomyocarditis virion rna in extracts from interferon-treated l-cells is inhibited by the addition of double-stranded rna (dsrna) at 400 ng/ml. a similar inhibition in response to dsrna is seen in control cell extracts supplemented with small amounts of a postribosomal supernatant fraction from interferon-treated cells (interferon cell sap): neither interferon cell sap nor dsrna alone is inhibitory in control systems. the inhibition is much reduced if translation is carr ...1976184463
seroimmunity of adult ghanian hospital staff and their wards to poliomyelitis.the antibody content of sera collected from 104 adult staff of the korle bu teaching hospital and 16 of their wards were studied by microtitre neutralization test to poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3. the immune status of the study population was highly satisfactory; there was only one (0.83%) out of the 120 persons studied without antibodies to all three poliovirus types. the percentage of sero-positive subjects to the individual poliovirus types, that is 1, 2 and 3 were 75.83%, 70.00% and 86.16% of ...1975184602
stability of human enteroviruses in estuarine and marine waters.studies of the effects of temperature and salinity on the survival of three enteric viruses (poliomyelitis type 1, echovirus-6, and coxsackievirus b-5) under controlled laboratory conditions and in situ indicate that temperature rather than salinity is the critical factor affecting their stability, in that the higher the temperature the more rapid was the loss of viral infectivity. in the laboratory studies, all three viruses were quite stable at 4 degrees c, with infectious virus still detectab ...1976184736

[studies on virus inactivation by chlorine during water disinfection (author's transl)].the studies described indicate a potential for water-borne transmission of viral diseases and the problems involved in virus inactivation by means of water chlorination. in contrast to the amount of free chlorine, the value of the oxidation-reduction potential (orp) was found to be a criterion of virus inactivation. for virus inactivation, higher orp values and longer periods of contact than for the killing of bacteria, respectively, were found to be necessary. to ensure the inactivation of poli ...1976185851
specific inactivation of herpes simplex virus by silver nitrate at low concentrations and biological activities of the inactivated virus.the infectivities of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 were inactivated by silver nitrate at concentrations of 30 mum or less, which did not affect at all the infectivities of hemagglutinating virus of japan, vesicular stomatitis virus, poliovirus, vaccinia virus, and adenovirus. the inactivated virus retained the capability of adsorbing to the cell, with an adsorption kinetics quite similar to that of intact virus, and of inducing the concanavalin a agglutinability in the infected cells, where ...1976185946
heat inactivation of poliovirus in wastewater sludge.the effect of raw and anaerobically digested sludge on heat inactivation of poliovirus was investigated. raw sludge was found to be very protective of poliovirus plaque-forming ability at all temperatures studied, but digested sludge had variable effects that were highly dependent upon the experimental conditions. in low concentrations and at relatively low inactivation temperatures, digested sludge is nearly as protective of poliovirus as raw sludge. however, at higher tempeatures and concentra ...1976185956
virus movement in soil columns flooded with secondary sewage effluent.secondary sewage effluent containing about 3 x 10(4) plaque-forming units of polio virus type 1 (lsc) per ml was passed through columns 250 cm in length packed with calcareous sand from an area in the salt river bed used for ground-water recharge of secondary sewage effluent. viruses were not detected in 1-ml samples extracted from the columns below the 160-cm level. however, viruses were detected in 5 of 43 100-ml samples of the column drainage water. most of the viruses were adsorbed in the to ...1976185960
the morphology of tumors of the human gastrointestinal tract in short-term organ culture and the reaction of these tumors to infection with poliovirus.a morphologic study of 57 cancers of the human gastrointestinal tract maintained in short-term organ culture was carried out, and the response of part of these tumors to infection with poliovirus was studied. the tumors, grown in vitro, mainly retained their original characteristics and histologic types. a certain correlation between the histologic type and its viability in short-term organ culture was revealed: the more differentiated forms were maintained better than the poorly differentiated ...1976186175
potency of field samples of oral poliovirus vaccine.the transport and storage facilities and the potency of oral poliovirus vaccines currently administered in 108 centres in india were investigated. storage and distribution practices in many of the centres were far from ideal. there was no significant loss of potency in the vaccine samples collected from a few centres, while samples from other centres showed a 60-99% loss of virus particles per dose. a national monitoring system has since been established to check the potency of every batch of or ...1976186207
some characteristics of poliovirus strains isolated in uganda between 1966 and 1971.sixty-five poliovirus strains were investigated in genetic marker tests in order to obtain information on the characteristics of polioviruses circulating in uganda where, owing to the insufficient use of live poliovirus vaccine, poliomyelitis remained a serious public health problem. of the type 1 strains predominant in both epidemic and non-epidemic years, 29 were studied for their antigenic fine structure. based on their intratypic character, these strains proved to represent six different ant ...1976186208
effect of hypertonic medium on protein synthesis of mahoney and lsc poliovirus.the initiation of synthesis of mahoney virus protein is more sensitive to high osmolarity than initiation of synthesis of lsc virus protein. production of mahoney virus protein appears to be only slightly more resistant to high osmolarity than synthesis of hela-rhino cell protein.1976186637
concentration of viruses from large volumes of tap water using pleated membrane filters.a method is described for the efficient concentration of viruses from large volumes of tap water in relatively short time periods. virus in acidified tap water in the presence of aluminum chloride is adsorbed to a 10-inch (ca. 25.4 cm) fiberglass depth cartridge and a 10-inch pleated epoxy-fiberglass filter in series at flow rates of up to 37.8 liters/min (10 gallons/min). this filter series is capable of efficiently adsorbing virus from greater than 19,000 liters (5,000 gallons) of treated tap ...1976187115
detection of virus in water: sensitivity of the tentative standard method for drinking water.the sensitivity of several microporous virus-adsorbent media for reliably detecting low levels of poliovirus from 380 and 1,900 liters of drinking water by use of the tentative standard method was investigated. the virus-adsorbent media tested were (i) nitrocellulose membrane filters, (ii) epoxy-fiber glass-asbestos filters, (iii) yarn-wound fiber glass depth filters, and (iv) epoxy-fiber glass filter tubes. virus was adsorbed to the filter media at ph 3.5 and eluted with glycine buffer, ph 11.5 ...1976187116
a perfusion culture system for virus vaccine manufacture in diploid cell cultures.development of a new perfusion culture system for the production of attenuated poliomyelitis virus in cultures of diploid cells is described. the growth characteristics of the diploid cells (mrc-5) were found to be normal in the perfused system. procedures for the routine production of cell cultures at twice the cell density of stationary bottle cultures were established. the yield of virus (lsc 2ab) per cell and per unit of surface growth area were observed to be significantly higher in the per ...1976187274
immune response to acute otitis media in children iii. implications of viral antibody in middle ear fluid.with the technique of radioimmunodiffusion and indirect fa staining, iga antibody to measles, mumps, rubella, and polio-1 were determined in serum and middle ear fluid (mef) of 103 patients with otitis media. the occurrence of iga viral antibody in mef and its absence in simultaneously drawn serum was used as an indicator of local antibody production. of the 401 assays performed, 41 instances of iga antibody exclusively in mef were found. only four of these occurred in specimens from unimmunized ...1977187700
amino acid composition of the poliovirus capsid polypeptides isolated as fluorescamine conjugates.poliovirus was treated with fluorescamine and disrupted with sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds). the polypeptides were isolated by electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide gel (sds-page) and their amino acid compositions determined. the compositions of vp1, 2 and 3 were very similar but different from that of vp4.1976187727
provocation poliomyelitis and entry of poliovirus to the cns.it is proposed that entry to the cns by poliovirus occurs from multiple sites which are seeded during viremia. at each site, an inflammatory reaction allows entry to peripheral nerves. differences in incubation times are related to the length of nerve to be followed. virus reaches the cns sequentially but does not in natural poliomyelitis spread within the cns. provoking agents are identified as immunogenic and their action explained. details of paralysis among cutter vaccinees are explained by ...1976187911
[the concept of risk in poliomyelitis (author's transl)].in poliomyelitis the risk is of neurological accidents resulting either from the circulation of wild viruses (spontaneous risk) or from the introduction of virus-vaccine (vaccine risk). the spontaneous risk varies both according to the virus type and according to various factors which determine host resistance. well known among these are: the intrinsic characteristics of the population at a given period (genetic factors and previous experiences of this population with poliomyelitis viruses); env ...1976188083
cell surface antigens induced by herpes simplex virus (hsv).among the antigens induced by hsv on the surface of infected cells there are antigens binding anti-hsv antibodies by their combining (fab) site (hsv-ag), and others binding antibodies of various specificities, probably through their fc fragment (igr). hsv-ag were demonstrated by cytotoxicity and mixed agglutination tests; igr were made evident by passive hemadsorption. the ability to induce igr is especially characteristic of hsv-1 strains, being absent or limited with hsv-2 strains. igr were no ...1976188230
isolation of apparently wild strains of poliovirus type 1 from sewage in the ottawa area.in the first 4 months of 1974, 140 gauze pad samples of sewage collected in the ottawa area were analysed by the bs-c-1 cell system for the presence of viruses pathogenic for humans. viruses were isolated from 111 (79%) of the samples. of the 72 (65%) isolates identified by serology and electron microscopic examination, 56 (78%) were reoviruses and 16 (22%), enteroviruses. the enterovirus isolates included one coxsackievirus b4, one vaccine strain of poliovirus type 3, nine vaccine strains of po ...1977188533
control of peptide chain initiation in uninfected and virus infected cells by membrane mediated events.initiation of protein synthesis in tissue culture cells is rapidly inhibited or blocked by addition of either dmso, ethanol, tpck, cytochalasin b, or sucrose to the growth medium. in contrast, these agents do not interfere with the initiation of protein synthesis in cell-free extracts to a comparable extent. these results support the hypothesis that protein synthesis in tissue culture cells can be influenced by membrane mediated events. translation of viral mrna in rna virus infected cells is re ...1976188735
growth characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc) virus in monkey kidney cells. ii. temperature sensitivity of the isolates obtained at various epidemic areas.acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc) virus strains isolated in eight different areas during epidemics of ahc were tested for the reproductive capacity at 33, 37 and 39 degrees. all of the 25 strains tested grew better at 33 degrees but restrictively at 39 degrees. the degree of temperature sensitivity varied slightly from one strain to the other, but generally exceeded that of attenuated poliovirus type 1, strain lsc2ab. temperature-resistant clones were selected by repeated passages of origin ...1976188780
a note on single - and two - dose immunogenicity tests of inactive virus vaccine in chicks.single dose extinction limit test of inactive polio vaccine in chicks lasts 4 days and offers the same results as the two-dose test which requires 14 days. when "long-term" incubation instead of "conventional" 2 hours-incubation of the serum/virus mixtures in the neutralization reaction was used, extinction limit values higher by 0,6-0,7 log 10 were regularly obtained.1976188947
inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by uv-inactivated poliovirus.the ability of poliovirus that was irradiated with uv light at energies up to 2,160 ergs/mm2 to subsequently inhibit host cell protein synthesis was measured. the inactivation of the host cell shutoff function followed one-hit kinetics. increasing irradiation did not affect the rate of inhibition until the multiplicity of infection after irradiation was reduced to approximately 1 pfu/cell. at higher functional multiplicities, the rate was unchanged, but an increasing lag before the onset of inhi ...1977189067
possible in vitro repair of viral rna by ligase-like enzyme(s) in poliovirus-infected cells.a soluble polymerase-template complex prepared from poliovirus-infected cells was found to incorporate radioactive utp into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble rna linearly for 8 h in the presence of atp and mg2+. radioactive ctp or gtp was not incorporated under identical conditions. nearest-neighbor analysis of the in vitro product demonstrated that atp was added to the viral rna in the form of polyadenylic acid; utp was added internally to the 3'-oh group of all four nucelotides. the data can best ...1977189080
5' termini of poliovirus rna: difference between virion and nonencapsidated 35s rna.poliovirus cytoplasmic, nonencapsidated 35s rna yields approximately one pup per molecule upon t2 rnase digestion, indicating that this rna has the same 5' end as the polyribosome-associated viral rna fraction. double-stranded, replicative form rna after the same treatment yielded approximately four pnp structures per molecule, 65% of which was pup. in contrast, the 35s rna from mature virions contained no detectable pnp, indicating that the 5' end of the virion rna is different from that of the ...1977189096

a protein covalently linked to poliovirus genome rna.poliovirion [32p]rna, after digestion with rnase t2, yields mononucleotides and a labeled compound "x," which is not negatively charged at ph 5. x contains, relative to the label in virion rna, one to two phosphates and is partially acid insoluble. it can be labeled with tritiated amino acids 3 hr after infection, is insoluble in chloroform/methanol, and can be digested with pronase. these observations suggest that x is a protein. the protein cannot be removed from the polio genome when the rna ...1977189316
persistence of poliovirus 1 in soil and on vegetables grown in soil previously flooded with inoculated sewage sludge or effluent.land disposal of sewage sludge and effluent is becoming a common practice in the united states. the fertilizer content and humus value of such wastes are useful for agricultural purposes, and the recycling of sewage onto the land eliminates many of our stream pollution problems. the potential exists for crops grown in such irrigated soil to be contaminated by viruses that may be present in the sewage. studies were initiated to determine viral persistence in soil and on crops grown under natural ...1977189685
poliovirus aggregates and their survival in water.inactivation of aggregated poliovirus by bromine is characterized by a continuously decreasing reaction rate. poliovirus released from infected cells in these experiments by alternate freezing and thawing in water without electrolytes has always been aggregated. the aggregates persist even on 7,000-fold dilution in ion-free water. virus similarly released into phosphate-buffered saline solution may be well dispersed, but it aggregates when sedimented into a salt-free sucrose gradient or when it ...1977189686

[rational method of producing sera with high titers of virus neutralizing antibodies].a possibility of obtaining the diagnostic specific sera with a high titre against the poliovirus, type i, was studied experimentally. five different immunization schemes by the same antigen were tested in parallel experiments. a method of the viral antigen (both of the concentrated and of the unconcentrated) mixed with complete freund's adjuvant injection into the popliteal lymph nodes with the subsequent single reimmunization proved to be most effective. in this way it was possible to obtain ty ...1977190829
[ultrastructural changes in the central nervous system of monkeys in poliomyelitis].the ultrastructure of cells of the central nervous system of rhesus monkeys in experimental poliomyelitis caused by virus of poliomyelitis type 3 was studied. it was found out that the virus of poliomyelitis was localized in nerve cells, astocytes, oligodendrocytes, the endothelium of capillaries and macrophages. this justifies the conclusion that pathological changes in the cells referred to the above result from reproduction of the virus therein. ultrastructural changes in infected cells are d ...1976190980
[action of emetine hydrochloride in some experimental viral infections].the authors tested the virulicidal effect of emetine hydrochloride (eh) observed by fusillo in clinical practice. by adding eh to he p-2 cellular system, in a concentration such as to cause some inhibition of cellular growth, there is no meaningfull virostatic or virulicidal action against poliovirus, mahoney's strain. eh, in the same proportion as that employed by fusillo in human therapy, damages in the albino mouse liver. by halving the concentration of eh such a damage is not evident but no ...1976191045
seroimmunity to polioviruses in an urban population of italy.in a seroepidemiological survey on immunity to polioviruses, carried out in rome, neutralizing antibodies were titrated on 602 serum samples collected from individuals aged from 6 months to 88 years. the geometric mean titres were 25.24, 25.92, and 18.12 for poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3, respectively. the number of seronegative results for each virus strain was very low (</=1.5%). the immune status of the study population could therefore be considered satisfactory. the distribution of antibody r ...1976191208
jc virus, a human polyomavirus associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: additional biological characteristics and antigenic relationships.jc virus, a human polyomavirus, failed to grow or produce cytopathic effects in any of a variety of cells tested other than primary human fetal glial (phfg) cells. cells tested included other primary human cells and glial cells from other animals. only a rare cell in inoculated insusceptible human cell cultures produced t or virion antigen. in phfg cell cultures jc virus produced subtle cytopathic effects, and the majority of progeny remained cell associated. only a few cells in the heterogenous ...1977191404
the persistence of poliovirus of poliovirus in activated sludge treatment.a model activated sludge treatment plant was used which was functionally very similar to a full scale plant. it was inoculated with poliovirus either continuously or with a single dose and the amounts of virus in the influent, mixed liquor and effluent were monitored regularly. the distribution of the virus in the liquid and solid phases of the mixed liquor was very unequal with about 85% of the virus associated with the suspended solids fraction. only small amounts of virus were recovered from ...1977191521
covalent linkage of a protein to a defined nucleotide sequence at the 5'-terminus of virion and replicative intermediate rnas of poliovirus.the 5'-terminus of poliovirus polyribosomal rna is pup. a candidate for the 5'-terminus of poliovirion rna was recovered as a compound migrating toward the cathode when 32p-labeled virion rna was completely digested with ribonucleases t1, t2 and a and analyzed by paper ionophoresis at ph 3.5. treatment with proteinase k reversed its direction of migration, indicating the presence of protein. treatment with venom phosphodiesterase liberated all of the radioactivity as pup, suggesting that poliovi ...1977191841
importance of associated viral and bacterial infections in the production of acute pneumonias.bacteriologic and virologic investigations carried out in a group of 85 patients with acute pneumonia have allowed the determination of the etiologic agent in 52.9% of the cases. of these, 40% showed combined viral and bacterial infections. mixovirus infections were frequently associated with staphylococcic ones (7 out of 8 cases) and adenovirus infections with the pneumococcic ones (6 out of 7 cases). the most severe and longdrawn clinical pictures with frequent pleuropulmonary complications (i ...1976191900

antibody persistence after primary immunization with trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine.five years after primary infant immunization with trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine, employing either a three-dose primary series as recommended by the u.s. public health service advisory committee on immunization practices (acip) or a four-dose series as recommended by the committee on infectious diseases of the american academy of pediatrics. 115 children were serologically tested for persistence of neutralizing antibodies by the microneutralization test. of the 57 individuals immunized accord ...1977195265
seroepidemiology of the poliovirus in monrovia (liberia).neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus have been studied in 265 persons in monrovia (liberia). 34% of the individuals studied possessed antibodies against the three polioviruses, 23% against two, 26% against one; the remaining 17% showed none. the three poliovirus antibodies were evenly distributed amongst the population, although there was an indication that antibodies to polio 2 occurred more commonly in females than in males. the distribution of the antibodies did not seem to be influence ...1992195370
comparison of primary rhesus and cynomolgus monkey kidney cell cultures for viral isolation from clinical specimens.rhesus monkey kidney and cynomolgus monkey kidney cell cultures were compared for viral isolation by using clinical specimens that yielded 203 viral isolates. cynomolgus and rhesus monkey kidney cells were comparable for the isolation of 22 adenoviruses, 12 coxsackieviruses, and one poliovirus. four of 50 echoviruses and seven of ten herpesviruses were detected only in cynomolgus monkey kidney cells. influenza virus was isolated in 84 instances, of which eight were detected only in rhesus and fo ...1977195459
inactivation of poliovirus in wastewater sludge with radiation and thermoradiation.sludge is highly protective of poliovirus against both heat and ionizing radiation. this protection could be largely overcome when these two treatments were given simultaneously.1977195518
stimulation of synthesis of the proteins of 30-s nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles in human amnion u cells by viral infection.early increase in rna synthesis induced in human amnion u cells by infection with poliovirus is accompanied by an increased incorporation of amino acids into non-histone nuclear proteins with an approximate molecular weight of 40 000. these proteins are the main polypeptides of the 30-s nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles. after fractionation of nuclear proteins by extraction with solutions of different ionic strength, these polypeptides are present in the fraction of nuclear sap proteins solubl ...1977195613
morphogenesis of poliovirus. iv. existence of particles sedimenting at 150s and having the properties of provirion.an apparent precursor to the poliovirion that cosediments with the virion at 150s was identified by its content of vp-0. it has properties previously associated with the provirion, a structure that sedimented at 125s, and it may be an alternate form of provirion. like virions, the 150s precursor binds to and elutes from cells, after which it sediments at about 125s.1977196114
the location of the polio genome protein in viral rnas and its implication for rna synthesis.evidence is presented that a small protein (vpg) is covalently attached to the 5'-terminal oligonucleotide vpg-pu-u-a-a-a-a-c-a-gp of the polio genome, to nascent strands of the polio replicative intermediate and to poly(u) of minus strands. a model of polio rna replication is proposed implicating vpg in initiation of rna symthesis, possibly as primer.1977196204

simple mathematical deductions in the seroepidemiology of viral infections. ii. (para) myxoviruses (measles, mumps, influenza b), rubella, enteroviruses (polio, coxsackie b), adenoviruses, and mycoplasma pneumoniae.large samples of nonselected persons collected in south-west germany were investigated for the prevalence of serum antibodies to poliovirus 1-3 and coxsackievirus b 1-5 (neutralisation test), to measles, rubella, and mumps (hemagglutination inhibition test), mumps, influenza b, adenovirus, and mycoplasma pneumoniae (complement-fixation test). according to "catalytic models", which compare the infection spread to simple chemical reactions of molecules as self-limiting procedures, a mathematical a ...1977196454

differences in multiplication of virulent and vaccine strains of poliovirus type i, ii, and iii in laboratory animals.multiplication of virulent and vaccine strains of poliovirus type i, ii and iii in laboratory animals of different species was studied comparatively. the main criterion of virus reproduction was the production of the photoresistant virus progeny after inoculation of the animals with proflavin-photosensitized virus strains. on the whole, virulent poliovirus strains were characterized by replication in a wide range of hosts (monkeys, cotton rats, white mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, chick e ...1977196575
separation and quantitation of intracellular forms of poliovirus rna by agarose gel electrophoresis.intracellular poliovirus-specific rna species can be measured directly by electrophoresis of total cytoplasmic nucleic acids through 1% agarose gels, resulting in the separation of single- and double-stranded forms of poliovirus rna from each other and from hela cell 28s ribosomal rna. single-stranded rna molecules differing by only 15% in length are resolved in this gel system. rna species can be visualized as fluorescen bands appearing after staining of the gels with ethidium bromide and obser ...1977196620

comparison of poliovirus detection in sewage and stool samples; a study in a crèche in the third week after vaccination.in a model experiment conducted in a prague crèche, the detection rate for polioviruses in partially purified, non-concentrated sewage as sampled by means of gauze pads (moore's method) was compared with that for individual stool samples. in the third week after the vaccination of children with live attenuated type 1 poliovirus (march 1975) and at an equal interval after their vaccination with a combination of types 2 and 3 (may 1975), corresponding poliovirus types were detected both in individ ...1977197033
vaccine-associated poliomyelitis in a child with sex-linked agammaglobulinemia.paralytic poliomyelitis was observed in a child with a sex-linked defect in immunoglobulin synthesis. evidence is presented that this was secondary to administration of oral, live poliovaccine. the demonstration of a familial sex-linked gammaglobulin deficiency and the failure to document a defect in cell-mediated immunity in this child extends the risk of vaccine associated poliomyelitis to virtually all forms of immunodeficiency. the critical host factors in the pathogenesis of poliovirus vacc ...1977197220
