associated seroconversions to respiratory viruses in volunteers with experimental influenza infection.serological examinations of 573 volunteers with mild experimental influenza infection and 86 volunteers of a control group hospitalized in a special clinic revealed a significant rise in the titre of antibodies (seroconversion) not only to influenza a or b viruses used for the experimental infection but in 23.3 to 29.8% of cases also to other respiratory viruses. based on a number of arguments, associated seroconversions are interpreted as due to mixed or sequential infections of different aetio ...19765868
effect of streptovirudin on parainfluenza 3 virus multiplication.streptovirudin (sv) in a concentration of 100 microng/ml reduced the multiplication of parainfluenza 3 virus by about 3.5 log units. when uninfected wish cells were treated for 2 and 12 hours with 100 mug/ml of sv, 3h-thymidineincorporation was decreased, but no marked differences were observed in the incorporation of 3h-uridine. the level of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c-amp) was found to decrease in sv-treated cells.197715435
exacerbations of chronic bronchitis: exogenous or endogenous infection?six male patients with chronic bronchitis, who were known previously to have excreted streptococcus pneumoniae and/or haemophilus influenzae, both at the times of exacerbations and during remission, were studied for 43 to 52 months. sputum was examined fortnightly and at the time of exacerbations. strains of strep. pneumoniae were serotyped and those of haemophilus species were typed by antibiograms along with other supporting methods. sera collected before or at the time of an exacerbation and ...197825664
haemagglutination inhibition antibodies in nasal secretions of persons after natural parainfluenza virus infection.in 7 adults and 7 children with upper respiratory illness of parainfluenza aetiology, the virus was isolated in the acute phase from nasal washings or nasal smears in spite of high titres of haemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibodies in serum. by contrast, secretory hi antibodies were not demonstrated at the onset of illness in any of the patients, but their formation started early and the antibodies reached maximal levels about 10 days after onset of illness. the individual patients showed co ...197827967
morphological characteristics of acute respiratory tract diseases of mixed etiology in children.the analysis of 30 etiologically deciphered (by the direct coons method) autopsy observations of acute respiratory diseases in children under 8 is presented. monoinfections were established only in 6 cases. morphological examinations of respiratory organs in 24 cases of mixed acute respiratory diseases (associations of virus-bacteria and virus-mycoplasma pneumoniae-diplostreptococcus) revealed marked circulatory disorders and desquamative, dystrophic, and inflammatory processes in segmental bron ...197828114
viruses and bacteria associated with acute respiratory illnesses in young children in general practice.the results obtained and the laboratory methods used for the isolation of viruses and bacteria from malaysian children with acute respiratory illnesses seen in a private clinic are described. of the 65 children studied virus isolations were obtained from 26 children, bacteria from 10 and both virus and bacteria from another 5. the agents isolated were influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, adenoviruses, bordetella pertussis, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae and staphylococcus ...197830173

immunologic and virologic aspects of secretory immune system in human respiratory tract.many external mucosal surfaces in man are replete with immunoglobulin containing plasma cells and thymic dependent (t) lymphocytes. immunization with viral vaccines administered via different routes have indicated that viral specific secretory immunoglobulins particularly of gamma a class are synthesized locally in the external mucosal surfaces. local availability of viral antigens especially after local mucosal immunization appears to be the most effective means of inducing viral specific secre ...197547823
studies on parainfluenza-3 virus neuraminidase.various parainfluenza-3 virus (piv-3) strains differ in neuraminidase (na) activity, some being neuraminidase strong (nas) and some neuraminidase weak (naw). no difference in the ability of these strains to elicit antibody activity to hemagglutinin (ha) or na of piv-3 was observed. samples of formalin-treated piv-3 released more n-acteylneuraminic acid (nana) than samples of piv-3 not treated with formalin when these samples were incubated with the substrate sialolactose for 16 h at 37 degrees c ...197547826

serological response of multiple sclerosis patients and controls to 6/94-parainfluenza virus.the serological responses of 195 multiple sclerosis (ms) patients and 251 controls were tested against 6/94-parainfluenza virus, which was previously isolated from brain tissue of two patients with ms. the hemagglutination-inhibition titers of greater than or equal to 1: 128 were found more frequently in ms patients (21.5%) than in controls (14.0%). however, the geometric mean titers did not differ between these two groups. the present study concludes that a causal relationship of 6/94-virus to ...197772793
serological relationships between certain avian and animal paramyxoviruses.an avian paramyxovirus designated robin/hiddensee/19/75 proved to be related to the yucaipa virus group in cross haemagglutination inhibition test (hit). whereas the prototype parainfluenza viruses did not react with the antiserum raised against the robin virus, a newly isolated bovine parainfluenza 3 virus was shown to be inhibited up to half the homologous titre. possible antigenic relationships between avian, mammalian and human paramyxoviruses are discussed.197774944
contamination of primary embryonic bovine kidney cell cultures with parainfluenza type 2 simian virus 5 and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus.two different viruses were isolated from bovine embryonic cell cultures after two subcultures from the primary cells. one virus was identified as parainfluenza type 2 simian virus 5 (sv-5), and the other was identified as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. six months later, stock cultures of pig kidney (pk-15) cells were found to be contaminated with sv-5 virus. we believe that the source of the sv-5 virus in the bovine cells was a cross-contamination from monkey kidneys during preparation ...197875889
epidemiology of respiratory viral infection among paediatric inpatients over a six-year period in north-east england.during a 6-year, hospital-based study at newcastle upon tyne five consecutive winter epidemics of respiratory syncytial (r.s.) virus infection occurred; the virus was identified in 1428 cases, showing that 1 in 50 live-births were admitted to hospital with r.s. virus infection. epidemics were inversely related to temperature and to number of hours of sunshine. parainfluenzaviruses, the second largest group of pathogens, were identified in 543 cases; most infections by this group were due to para ...197882045

[role of heterogenized cellular antigens in cross immunity reactions in paramyxovirus infections].heterogenized antigens similar to the antigens of sheep and guinea pig red blood cells were revealed by indirect immunofluorescence in tissue cultures infected with parotitis virus. participation of these antigens in cross immunofluorescence reactions observed in tissue cultures infected with various paramyxoviruses and in a suspension of erythrocytes loaded with these viruses was established. it was shown that immunization of children with parotitis virus was accompanied by a specific anamnesti ...1978106603
respiratory syncytial virus infection in owl monkeys: viral shedding, immunological response, and associated illness caused by wild-type virus and two temperature-sensitive mutants.intranasal inoculation of owl monkeys with wild-type respiratory syncytial virus induced upper respiratory tract disease in each of seven animals. the response of owl monkeys to two highly defective, temperature-sensitive, multiple-lesion mutants was then compared to the pattern seen with wild-type respiratory syncytial virus. these mutants, ts-1 ng-1 and ts-1 ng-16, were derived from the ts-1 mutant that had been remutagenized with nitrosoguanidine (ng). previously the ts-1 ng-1 and ts-1 ng-16 ...1979118925
the longitudinal approach to the pathogenesis of respiratory disease.longitudinal observations were made of a well-defined population of children at a day care center in an investigation of the pathogenesis of infections due to respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) and mycoplasma pneumoniae. a single rsv infection induced a modest but significant degree of resistance to further rsv infection in these children. age and immunity seemed to interact to decrease the intensity of the clinical expression of illness associated with rsv infection. infants and young children h ...1979121783

role of respiratory viruses in childhood mortality.respiratory viruses have been identified at necropsy in the lungs of 13 out of 24 children who died with observed acute respiratory illness. the histological appearances of the lungs supported the association between virus and death in each of these 13 children and suggested an unidentified virus aetiology in a further five cases. histological appearances compatible with bacterial infection were found in the lungs of only two of the 24 children. similar virus and histological findings have been ...1975163114
further observations on the characteristics of a bovine parainfluenza-3 variant.calves were inoculated with a bovine para-influenza-3 variant to determine its pathogenicity and the stability of its cytopathic feature and its inability to agglutinate chicken erythrocytes. the inoculated calves and one contact animal developed an immune response without significant clinical illness. the clinical response in calves was similar to that induced by the parent virus strain. the variant was shown to retain its characteristic cytopathic effect for madin darby bovine kidney cells and ...1975163127
immunologic significance of the mumps virus skin test in infants, children and adults.the biologic validity of cell-mediated immunity to mumps virus was evaluated in 395 children, adolescents and adults. the study protocol included the determination of cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity to viral and avian control antigens and in 79% of the subjects an essential double bleeding was performed before and after mumps virus skin test for assay of neutralizing antibody. seven per cent of subjects expressed sufficient delayed hypersentitivity to the control antigen to erase an apparentl ...1975163575

bovine parainfluenza type 3 virus infection: virus replication in bovine embryonic cell cultures and virion separation by rate-zonal centrifugation.replicative sequences of a bovine strain of parainfluenza type 3 virus in bovine embryonic kidney and spleen cell cultures were investigated by light and fluorescence microscopy and by ultrathin section and negative-contrast electron microscopy. observations from light and fluorescence microscopy showed that intracytoplasmic inclusions were detected as small granules surrounding the nuclei of more than 90 percent of the cell population by day 2 postinoculation. with the increase of postexposure ...1975164407
bovine parainfluenza type 3 virus infection: ultrastructural aspects of viral pathogenesis in the bovine respiratory tract.after aerosolization of a bovine strain of parainfluenza type 3 virus, the pathogenesis of the virus was followed from the trachea to the bronchioalveolar compartments of the lung of colostrum-free calves and of conventionally reared calves during a 5- to 12-day postexposure interval. by tissue titration, plaque assay, and electron microscopy, it was found that virus infection could be established in colostrum-free calves as well as in conventionally reared calves, even though sequential change ...1975164408
detection of cellular hypersensitivity among multiple sclerosis (ms) patients to 6/94 virus; a parainfluenza type 1 isolate from ms brain tissue.multiple sclerosis (ms) patients and normal subjects were tested for cellular hypersensitivity, using the leukocyte migration inhibition test lmi), to a parainfluenza-1-virus (6/94), previously isolated from brain biopsy tissue of an ms patient. the response of ms patients as a group was not greater than that of normals to 6/94, but a significant increase in the response was observed among selected patients in the early active and chronic advanced stages of the disease. ms patients, however, did ...1975164416

circulating antibodies and respiratory virus infections.most respiratory viruses infect only the respiratory mucosa and mainly the surface epithelium, and it is therefore plausible that antibody within the circulation is unable to influence them, either by preventing infection or by terminating it once it has started. however there is experimental and observational evidence that some infections are prevented by circulating antibody. this may be because circulating immunoglobulins are released onto the surface possibly because of virus cytopathic effe ...1975165114
meaning of circulating antibody titers in the infections of parainfluenza 3 virus and rs virus.it is generally accepted that secretory antibodies play a very important role in the prevention of respiratory infections, but it is also considered that the circulating antibody level is a very significant indication of the establishment of infections. in parainfluenza 3 and rs virus infections, reinfections are very common but seem to depend more or less upon circulating antibody levels. there is a correlation between circulating antibody level and infection rate in parainfluenza 3 infection i ...1975165115
contribution to the study of the parainfluenza antigens.from epidemiological data it appeared that an epidemic of parainfluenza type 1 occurred in lyons in october-november 1967. thereafter a few sporadic cases were detected. then in 1970 strains were isolated which showed a change in the hemagglutinin antigen. the persistence of antibodies in the population is shorter than that of the other parainfluenza viruses (i. e. parainfluenza 3); it is not known if reinfections with parainfluenza 1 occur since there are cross-reactions by cf test between para ...1975165116
an animal model for studying infection and immunity to and attenuation of human parainfluenza viruses.neonatal ferrets were found to be highly via the intranasal route of inoculation to infection with wild type isolates of parainfluenza viruses. wild type infection consistently resulted in deaths of these animals in 48 to 72 hours. autopsy and histopathological findings in lung tissue were consistent with those of viral infection. virus could consistently be isolated from lung tissues. using wild green monkey kidney grown viruses and selected passage levels of egg adapted viruses, virus attenuat ...1975165121
etiological relationship between several respiratory viruses and acute respiratory diseases in 1973 in the gdr.the role of some important respiratory viruses (influenza a, b, parainfluenza, adeno and mycoplasma) in morbidity due to acute respiratory diseases during 1973 in the gdr is analysed on account of serological data (cfr) obtained with paired sera (a -5 percent of all cases comprising all age groups) and virus isolations. the serological surveillance provides an important base for evaluating the significance of respiratory agents for the development of the morbidity due to ard.1975165122
immune response of cattle to intranasally or parenterally administered parainfluenza type 3 virus vaccines.the principal significance of pi-3 virus in the bovine respiratory disease complex would seem to be its role in predisposing the respiratory tract to bacterial infection by (5) disrupting the integrity of the superficial mucosa and (3) producing a more favourable milieu for bacterial growth. attention has therefore been given to establishing local immunity to preclude infection of superficial cells of the mucosa. criteria used to evaluate the degree of such immunity are (5) presence of specific ...1975165124
local and systemic response after simultaneous intranasal inoculation of temperature-sensitive mutants of parainfluenza 3, ibr and bovine adenovirus 3.triple seronegative calves were exposed by the nasal route to three (ts) mutants of bovine respiratory viruses (pi3, ibr, adeno3). after a single exposure, they responded with significant levels of serum antibodies to the three viruses. nasal antibodies were demonstrated for pi3 and adenovirus antigens. the failure to demonstrate nasal antibodies to ibr may be due to lack of sensitivity of the procedure used. when reexposed six weeks later, calves had sharp increases in levels of serum antibodie ...1975165126

methods for the detection of viruses in bovine serum.an evaluation of selected commonly used procedures for the recovery of endogenous viral contaminants in bovine serum was undertaken. low speen centrifugation (25,000 x g) was found to be efficient for the recovery of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1) and parainfluenza virus type 3(pi-3) in bovine serum. decreased infectivity titers were obtained when parainfluenza virus type 3, and to a lesser extent bovine herpes virus type 1, were concentrated using high speed centrifugation (100,000 x g) for ...1975170306
physicochemical and serological characteristics of respiratory virus fluorescein-isothiocyanate conjugates for fluorescent-antibody diagnosis.fluorescein-isothiocyanate (fitc) conjugates were prepared by improved methods from standard reference antisera to influenza a and b, mumps, parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, and 4, herpesvirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus hexon. the antisera, prepared in a variety of animals, were fractionated three times with selected optimal concentrations of ammonium sulfate and yielded gamma globulins of adequate purity for conjugation with fitc. conjugates containing optimal fluorescein-to-protein rat ...1975170315
measurement of parainfluenza-3 virus antibody by the single radial hemolysis technique.a single radial hemolysis assay for parainfluenza-3 virus antibody is described as a simple, sensitive, accurate, and precise alternative to hemagglutination inhibition and serum neutralization tests. a highly significant correlation exists between single radial hemolysis zone areas and hemagglutination inhibition titers of both serum and nasal secretion samples. antibody conversions equivalent to as little as a twofold rise in hemagglutination inhibition titer are readily and reliably detected ...1975170317
serological survey of parainfluenza and parotitis in the population of czechoslovakia.a serological survey was carried out to determine the prevalence and age distribution of hi antibodies against m. parainfluenzae type 1, 2, 3 and 4a and against m. parotitis in the population on from 7 regions of the czech socialist republic. while the distribution of antibodies to m. parainfluenzae is similar in all regions under study, considerable regional differences have been found in the occurence of antibodies against parotitis virus.1975170333
a review of routine tests for respiratory viruses in hospital inpatients.during the period june 1967 to may 1972, viral tests were performed upon 1195 inpatients aged 12 and over in the brompton hospital. the overall diagnostic rate was 21-5%, comparing 9-3% by isolation and 14-9% by complement fixation (6-5% by four-fold rises in titre in paired sera, 8-4% by titres larger than or equal to 160 in single sera). only 42% of all patients had an acute respiratory illness within one week prior to admission, which seriously curtailed the chances of isolating viruses and o ...1975170701

immunoglobulins and their relative neutralizing efficiency in cattle immunized with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis--parainfluenza-3 (ibr-pi-3) virus vaccine.the localization of anti-ibr and anti-pi-3 activity in the serum and nasal secretory immunoglobulins following intranasal immunization of cattle with a mixed vaccine (ibr-pi-3, mlv, tco) was studied and was found to reside in the nasal secretory iga, serum igm and igg fractions. the computation of their relative virus neutralizing efficiencies from kinetic data revealed their order of neutralizing efficiencies to be igm greater than iga greather than igg.1975170885
[muscle cell structure in polymyositis].electron microscopic investigations of muscles from patients with chronic polymyositis demonstrated presence of cytoplasmatic, tubular structures and extracellular virus-like particles. their size, morphology and location suggest multiplication of viruses from the group of parainfluenza viruses within the muscle cell in "infected" cultures of human fetal muscles. beside viruses belonging to the parainfluenza group presence of viruses from the herpes group was demonstrated. the latter belong to l ...1975171596
immune response and the b blood group locus in chickens.chickens of three blood group genotypes, b1b1, b1b2 and b1b19, were compared in their ability to produce antibodies. the b locus is the major histocompatibility locus in this species. homozygous b1 pullets had significantly higher adult mortality than did the b1 heterozygotes. in two separate experiments the b1b1 females produced significantly fewer antibodies to salmonella pullorum than did the b1 heterozygotes. also the b1b1 pullets responded with lower antibody titers following immunization w ...1975172405
virologic studies in rheumatoid arthritis.comparison of virus antibody titers in jra and matched controls failed to implicate rubella, measles, parainfluenza type 1 or epstein-barr viruses. neither rna viruses or mycoplasma were detected in rheumatoid synovial cell cultures by 3h-uridine incorporation. mycoplasma were not isolated from rheumatoid synovial membranes or cell cultures using the large specimen-broth culture procedure. the balance of available evidence, including our own, suggests that mycoplasma are not involved in ra. viru ...1975173010
