兔的一种新病毒：...

In the spring 1986, an acute infectious disease occurred in Wuhan Second Producing Medical Manufactory, and the rabbit almost died. We tested the mortal symptom and confirmed rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD) as same as Huang Yinyao report. Hubei Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute appear this RHD also. After we purified virus of above two source by low speed, high speed and sucrose density gradient centrifugation, they can react with antiserum of RHDV from Nanjing Agricultural University in agar gel immunodiffusion tests. These results proved that they belong to the same serotype. Data indicate RHDV have difference morphological superstructure, viral polypeptides and especially RHDV can't react with antiserum of standard Parvovirus of rabbit and so on, so we suggest RHDV is a new virus.

采用氯仿、聚乙二醇。硫酸葡聚糖钠盐二相系统和蔗糖密度梯度离心法,从患病兔肝组织中提取、纯化病毒。该病毒粒子无囊膜,呈20面体对称,直径一般为33—37 nm。其三角剖分数T=3,共有32个子粒,每一子粒为中空的、外径为9 nm左右的圆形轮廓。经蔗糖密度梯度离心后,可获得沉降系数为166s的病毒颗粒,这种颗拉具有很强的感染性。经SDS—PAGE测得病毒粒子有四种多肽,分子量分别为66．4k、65．Ok、63．5k、41．Ok。二苯胺试验,吖啶橙染色、甲醛试验及热变性曲线表明,该病毒是单链DNA病毒。电镜下经甲酰胺法展层的病毒核酸呈单链线状,分子量平均为2．1×106道尔顿。此病毒的上述性质类似于细小病毒。 53s中空的圆形子粒,有很强的血凝性,而对照组铁蛋白和同一条件下所制备正常兔肝 成份无凝血特性,说明53s的9nm粒子应为病毒外壳蛋白子粒。     

兔的一种新病毒 IlI.兔出血症病毒形态的超微结构和抗原性的研究

1986年春,武汉市第二制药厂(WSPMM)试验用家兔突然口鼻渗出鲜血,几乎全部猝死。作者观察了罹病死亡的症状,认为此病例与黄印尧等所报道的相同。湖北省中医药研究院(HTCMI)也发生此病的流行。作者对这两种不同来源的病料,进行相同的处理,提取病毒粗纯物,回接同种动物,可引起同样典型的发病症状。进一步将死亡兔的肝、睥等脏器组织匀浆。经低速、高速、超速和蔗糖密度梯度离心后制样,电镜观察可见典型的病毒柱子。以上两种病毒粒子制备的抗血清和南京农业大学的兔出血症病毒抗原在双扩散沉淀中,产生典型的沉淀反应,说明三种病毒抗原的一致性。但是湖北株、南京农业大学病毒株抗原和日本细小病毒的抗血清,在双扩散反应时均无沉淀反应。湖北株病毒的形态大小、超微结构、外壳蛋白的 多肽和血清学特性,均不同于标准兔细小病毒,可能是一新的病毒。     

一种新病毒——兔出血症病毒的鉴定初报

从我国新发生的一种家兔急性败血性传染病死兔内脏抽提物中,观察到典型的病毒粒子,回归兔可引起典型发病,再从病死兔内脏回收到同样病毒,证明该病系病毒性传染病,暂定名为“兔病毒性出血症”,病原暂定为“兔出血症病毒”。经初步鉴定,认为本病毒可能是一种首次发现的新病毒,属双股RNA病毒。但从病毒大小和核酸节段看,又不同于呼肠病毒科。最终归属正在进一步研究。     

兔出血症病毒与细小病毒抗原相关性试验

用间接ELISA、ELISA交叉阻断法和交叉血凝抑制试验对兔出血症病毒(RHDV)与6种细小病毒进行抗原相关性试验。用间接ELISA证实,RFIDV与它们有轻度交叉关系,其抗原相关值分别为:小鼠细小病毒(MVM)5.59％;鹅细小病毒(GPV)3.54％;猪细小病毒(PPV)1.76％;水貂肠炎病毒0.7％。细小病毒间的抗原相关值:MEV与PPV为31.6％,MEV与MVM为35.36％;而CPV与MEM、PPV、MVM的相关值均为零,即无相关性。在ELISA交叉阻断法中证实:犬细小病毒(CPV)、猫泛白细胞减少症病毒(FPV)和MEV均不能阻断RHDV与其抗体结合,仅GPV有轻度阻断作用,其最大阻断率为40％。在血凝交叉抑制试验中,未发现RHDV与细小病毒及其相应抗体间存在交叉抑制现象。以上结果表明RHDV与细小病毒在血清学方面有轻度相关性。     

用对流电泳提纯兔出血症病毒

兔出血症病毒（ＲＨＤＶ）在ｐＨ８．６的琼脂糖凝胶上电泳,在负极侧有一血凝峰,免疫电镜观察有大硅ＲＨＤＶ颗粒,证实ＲＨＤＶ病毒粒子带正电荷。利用这一特性可用对流电泳提纯病毒。将抗体与病毒颗粒形成的沉淀带切下,作ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ,经免疫转印出现６条区带,其中６０ｋＤ的ＶＰ_１为主要结构多肽。用免疫复合物提取核酸,以狄高辛标记制成探针,能与病毒核酸和克隆的ＲＨＤＶｃＤＮＡ２．２ｋｂ片段和４．８ｋｂ片段杂交,探针灵敏度达ｐｇ水平。能用病毒核酸作模板制备探针,证实ＲＨＤＶ的核酸为ＤＮＡ。     

兔出血症病毒核酸的某些理化性质的研究

Biological, Physical, and Chemical Properties of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus I. Purification and Physical Properties

A new purification procedure was adopted for Eastern equine encephalitis virus which does not subject the virus to pelleting at any stage. Three- to 4-liter volumes were passed through a diethylaminoethyl cellulose column. The virus-containing fractions were banded on a sucrose cushion and finally concentrated in an isopycnic band in a linear sucrose gradient. This method reduced the volume 1,000-fold with a concomitant increase in viral titer, i.e., better than 90% recovery. Numerous criteria have been used to establish that this viral preparation was essentially free from cellular debris and nonviral material. Physical studies on this purified viral product were initiated. The sedimentation coefficient as determined by band sedimentation was 240S, the buoyant density in sucrose was 1.18 g/cc, and the diameter of the virus was 54 nm. From the diameter and the buoyant density it was possible to calculate the molecular weight of a spherical particle. In this case, the calculated molecular weight for Eastern equine encephalitis virus was 58 x 10(6) daltons.     

Structure and chemical-physical characteristics of lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus and its RNA.

Lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) was purified from culture fluid of infected primary cultures of various mouse tissues (peritoneal macrophage, bone marrow, spleen, and embryo) and from plasma of infected mice. Electron microscopy of negatively stained virus and positively stained sections of LDV revealed spherical particles of uniform size with a diameter of about 55 nm, containing an electron-dense core with a diameter of about 30 nm. During sample preparation the envelope had a tendency to slough off and disintegrate to form aggregates of various sizes and small hollow particles with a diameter of 8 to 14 nm. Two strains of LDV exhibited a density of 1.13 g/cm3 in isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation whether propagated in primary cultures of the various mouse tissues or isolated from plasma of infected mice. A brief incubation of LDV in a solution containing 0.01% Nonidet P-40 or Triton X was sufficient to release the viral nucleocapsid, whereas a similar treatment had no effect on Sindbis virus. The nucleocapdis of LDV exhibited a density of 1.17 g/cm3, was devoid of phosphatidylcholine, and contained only the smallest of the viral proteins, VP-1, which had a molecular weight of about 15,000. The envelope contained two proteins. VP-2 with a molecular weight of 18,000 and a glycoprotein, VP-3, which migrated heterogenously (24,000 to 44,000 daltons) during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When compared to the sedimentation rate of 29S rRNA, the RNAs of LDV and Sindbis virus sedimented at 48 and 45S, respectively, whether analyzed by zone sedimentation in sucrose density gradients containing low or high salt concentrations or denatured by treatment with formaldehyde. Our results indicate that LDV should be classified as a togavirus, but that LDV is sufficiently different from alpha and flaviviruses to be excluded from these groups.     

The purification and polypeptide composition of avian infectious bronchitis virus.

Purification of egg-grown infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation alone, or sucrose density gradient centrifugation plus pH 8.0 treatment, concanavalin A precipitation or metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, failed to produce any differences in the virus polypeptide pattern following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS(SDS-PAGE). SDS-PAGE of purified IBV on 7.5% acrylamide gels separated 16 polypeptides which were detectable by staining with Coomassie blue or measurement of radioactivity following electrophoresis of (3H)-leucine labelled IBV. The molecular weights of the polypeptides were within the range 15,000-135,000. The polypeptides of egg and chick kidney (CK) cell-grown IBV were identical in both size and number but quantitative differences were detected. In particular the relative proportion of the major 52,000 molecular weight polypeptide was greatly reduced in IBV grown in CK cells. SDS-PAGE of purified IBV and staining with Schiff's reagent to detect carbohydrate revealed four.bands with molecular weights of 128,000, 86,000, 67,500 and 37,000. The 128,000 band did not correspond to any of the detected polypeptides. Use of 5% acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE of IBV failed to resolve all the minor polypeptides and only seven bands were detected.     

Virus-like particles from killer, neutral, and sensitive strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Procedures were developed for purification of virus-like particles (VLPs) from killer, neutral, and sensitive strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Morphologically similar spherical VLPs measuring 40 nm in diameter were extracted from all three phenotypes. The particles were partially purified by high-speed centrifugation through a layer of CsCl (1.26 g/cm3) and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Gradient-purified preparations contained three centrifugal species that sedimented at approximately 43, 102, and 162S. The 43S component is considered to be an artifact. Preparations from killer strains contained three double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) components with molecular weights of 1.19 x 10(6), 1.29 x 10(6) and 2.54 x 10(6). VLPs from neutral and sensitive strains contained only the largest ds-RNA species. VLP preparations were subsequently separated into two major density components by CsCl equilibrium gradient centrifugation. The light component banding at 1.28 to 1.30 g/cm3 was void of nucleic acid, and the heavy component banding at 1.40 g/cm3 contained only the largest ds-RNA species.     

Molecular weight of Yaba monkey tumor virus DNA.

The molecular weight of Yaba virus DNA was determined by the isolation of intact DNA genomes from Yaba virus, which had been purified by two sucrose density gradient and one potassium tartrate gradient centrifugations, by cosedimentation with T2 DNA. The molecular weight of Yaba DNA was calculated to be 119 - 10(6).     

Human cytomegalovirus DNA. I. Molecular weight and infectivity.

Human cytomegalovirus DNA (strain AD 169) was isolated from purified virions and further purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The viral DNA molecules were studied by electron microscopy and found to be linear and to have a length of 76.22 +/- 5.22 micron, corresponding to a molecular weight of 147 +/- 6.2 x 10(6). The DNA was infectious when tested in human embryonic lung cells.     

Herpesvirus sylvilagus I. Polypeptides of virions and nucleocapsids.

Herpesvirus sylvilagus was propagated in juvenile cotton tail rabbit kidney cells and purified from the cytoplasmic fraction of the infected cells. The purification procedure included zonal centrifugation through a 5 to 30% dextran t-10 gradient, followed by equilibrium centrifugation in a 5 to 50% potassium tartrate gradient. H. sylvilagus formed one band after centrifugation through the tartrate gradient at a density of 1.22 g/cm3. Contamination of the purified virus preparation by cellular proteins was less than 0.2% as determined by the removal of radioactivity from an artificially mixed sample containing [35S]methionine-labeled control cells and nonlabeled infected cells. H. sylvilagus nucleocapsids were isolated from infected cell nuclei and purified by sedimentation through a 36% sucrose cushion, followed by equilibrium centrifugation in 5 to 50% tartrate gradient. Forty-four polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from 18,000 to 230,00 were resolved when [35S]methionine-labeled enveloped H. sylvilagus was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Seventeen polypeptides found within the enveloped virus were also identified with the nucleocapsid. Six additional nucleocapsid polypeptides han no counterparts within the enveloped virus. The major polypeptide within both the virus and the nucleocapsid had a molecular weight of 150,000.     

Segmented genome and nucleocapsid of La Crosse virus.

La Crosse (LAC) virions purified by velocity and equilibrium gradient centrifugation contained three single-stranded RNA species. The three segments had sedimentation coefficients of 31S, 25S, and 12S by sodium dodecyl sulfate-sucrose gradient centrifugation. By comparison with other viral and cellular RNA species, the LAC viral RNAs had molecular weights of 2.9 x 10(6), 1.8 x 10(6), and 0.4 x 10(6). Phenol-sodium dodecyl sulfate-extracted LAC virion RNA was not infectious for BHK-21 cell cultures under conditions in which Sindbis viral RNA was infectious. Treatment of LAC virus with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 and salt released three nucleocapsid structures, each containing one species of virion RNA. The nucleocapsids had sedimenation coefficients of 115S, 90S, and 65S. Negative-contrast electron microscopy of the nucleocapsids indicated that they were convoluted, supercoiled, and apparently circular. They had a mean diameter of 10 to 12 nm and modal lengths of 200, 510, and 700 nm (some were even longer). By chemical and enzymatic analysis of purified viral RNA, one type of 5' nucleotide (pppAp) present in the proportion of one per RNA segment was identified. After periodate oxidation, each virion RNA species was labeled by reduction with [3H]sodium borohydride. Taken together, these results suggest that although the nucleocapsids appear as closed loops, the viral RNA has free 5' and 3' ends and is, therefore, not circular.
