P J Provost B S Wolanski W J Miller O L Ittensohn W J McAleer M R Hilleman 《Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (New York, N.Y.)》1975,148(2):532-539
CR326 human hepatitis A virus purified by isopycnic banding from infected marmoset sera was shown to consist of 27 nm spherical particles on electron microscopic examination. The particles were identified as hepatitis A virus by tests for infectivity and by specific neutralization of infectivity with convalescent human hepatitis A serum. Also, indentical 27 nm viruses in liver extracts gave specific reactions with hepatitis A antisera when tested by immune electron microscopy. The bouyant density of the virus in CsCl was 1.34 and it was heat (60 degrees), ether and acid stable but was destroyed by heat (100 degrees), formalin (1:4000) and ultraviolet irradiation. Electron microscopic studies of sections of infected marmoset liver showed intracytoplasmic virus particles, usually in vesicles. Presumptive findings for RNA, together with the intracytoplasmic location of the virus, indicated the virus to be of RNA-type. The attributes of the virus indicate it is closely related to the enterovirus family and not to hepatitis B virus. 相似文献

A comparative analysis of amino acid sequence of the proteins VP1 of hepatitis A virus and poliovirus of the 1 type was carried out. A model is proposed of structural organization of VP1 of hepatitis A virus providing the presence of a bilayer core formed by 8 antiparallel beta-strands. Probable candidates for surface antigenic determinants are the amino acid sequences located in unordered fragments of the polypeptide chain (residues 101-106 and 115-125), and alpha-helical region (residues 127-135). 相似文献

The recently described protein kinase activity in hepatitis B virus core antigen particles (Albin and Robinson, J. Virol. 34:297-302, 1980) has been demonstrated here in the liver-derived core particles of ground squirrel hepatitis virus. Both protein kinase activities were initially associated with DNA polymerase-positive heavy core particles in CsCl density equilibrium gradients and shifted to polymerase-negative cores during the course of purification. The major core-associated polypeptide of each virus was the dominant species labeled. A variable number of other polypeptide species were also labeled by this reaction. Tryptic peptide mapping of both major and minor phosphorylated polypeptides of each virus resulted in similar patterns, suggesting that many of the sites of phosphorylation were the same in the components of each core particle. Hydrolysis of these phosphorylated core particles revealed a major phosphoamino acid as serine and a minor phosphoamino acid as threonine. The products of the protein kinase reaction in both human hepatitis B and ground squirrel hepatitis virus core particles, then, share many characteristics. The possible function(s) of this protein kinase activity is discussed in the light of similarly characterized activities in other animal viruses. 相似文献

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a cloned DNA of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV), the most oncogenic virus among hepadnaviruses. The genome, designated WHV2, is 3,320 base pairs long and contains four major open reading frames (ORFs) coded on the same strand of nucleotide sequence as in the human hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequences deduced from it among the genomes of various hepadnaviruses demonstrates that each protein shows an intrinsic property in conserving its amino acid sequence. A parameter, the ratio of the number of triplets with one-letter change but no amino acid substitution to the total number of triplets in which one-letter change occurred, was introduced to measure the intrinsic properties quantitatively. For each ORF, the parameter gave characteristic values in all combinations. Therefore, the relative evolutional distance between these hepadnaviruses can be measured by the amino acid substitution rate of any ORF. These comparisons suggest that (i) the difference between two WHV clones, WHV1 and WHV2, corresponds to that among clones of a HBV subtype, HBVadr, and (ii) WHV and ground squirrel hepatitis virus can be categorized in a way similar to the subgroups of HBV. 相似文献

A comparison of the sequences of the putative glycoprotein region in three independent cDNA clones of hepatitis C virus and of sequences of four other clones revealed extensive genetic variation clustered and interspersed with highly conserved amino acid sequences. We obtained evidence for two hypervariable regions in the putative envelope glycoprotein, one region was assumed to be a potential antigenic site, as deduced from the hydrophilicity and analyses of secondary structures. These observations suggest the existence of a large pool of antigenic variants of hepatitis C virus, in Japan. 相似文献

Response of primed human PBMC to synthetic peptides derived from hepatitis B virus envelope proteins: a search for promiscuous epitopes 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
This investigation was aimed at identifying effective T helper cell epitopes to the hepatitis B virus in humans. A panel of synthetic peptides that represent the hepatitis B virus whole envelope proteins was examined for their capability to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells from human subjects infected with hepatitis B virus naturally. In addition, a large number of subjects were examined and their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II allele types were identified to determine whether the helper T cell epitope is specific for a particular HLA allele or 'promiscuous'. The peptides of the amino acid residues 52-67, 110-125, 190-205, and 228-243 appeared to be immunogenic, and particularly, the 52-67 residue was the most promiscuous epitope peptide. These results would contribute to the better understanding of the helper T cell responses to the hepatitis B virus and provide a useful way in designing epitope-based vaccines and future therapeutic strategies. 相似文献

Serum samples from 214 blood donors in the United Kingdom who were carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were examined for hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by DNA:DNA hybridisation and for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and its antibody. One fifth of the donors carried infectious virus in their circulation. The presence of hepatitis B virus DNA correlated well with that of HBeAg, although hepatitis B virus DNA was found in five serum samples that were negative for HBeAg. It is concluded that analysis of serum samples for hepatitis B virus DNA by hybridisation should be the method of choice for determining whether carriers of HBsAg are infectious. 相似文献

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a satellite virus of hepatitis B virus, as it requires hepatitis B virus for virion production and transmission. We have previously demonstrated that sequences within the C-terminal 19-amino acid domain flanking the isoprenylation motif of the large hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg-L) are important for virion assembly. In this study, site-directed mutagenesis and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that in the absence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), the wild-type HDAg-L was localized in the nuclei of transfected COS7 cells. Nevertheless, in the presence of HBsAg, the HDAg-L became both nuclei- and cytoplasm-distributed in about half of the cells. An HDAg-L mutant with a substitution of Pro-205 to alanine could neither form HDV-like particles nor shift the subcellular localization in the presence of HBsAg. In addition, nuclear trafficking of HDAg-L in heterokaryons indicated that HDAg-L is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. A proline-rich HDAg peptide spanning amino acid residues 198 to 210, designated NES(HDAg-L), can function as a nuclear export signal (NES) in Xenopus oocytes. Pro-205 is critical for the NES function. Furthermore, assembly of HDV is insensitive to leptomycin B, indicating that the NES(HDAg-L) directs nuclear export of HDAg-L to the cytoplasm via a chromosome region maintenance 1-independent pathway. 相似文献

Serum samples obtained from 44 patients with virus A hepatitis, 23 patients with virus B hepatitis, 65 patients with virus non A, non B hepatitis and 100 healthy adults were studied for the presence of Epstein-Barr (EB) virus in the indirect immunofluorescence test. In this work lymphoblastoid cell lines PH3-J-1 and CN37 were used. Among patients with different forms of hepatitis, the statistically significant elevation of the titers of antibodies to EB virus was detected only in the group of patients with virus non A, non B hepatitis, and in 6 cases the etiological role of EB virus was confirmed by serological and hematological methods. 相似文献

Sub-etioplast localization of the enzyme NADPH: protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The complete nucleotide sequence of the influenza A/PR/8/34 nucleoprotein gene was determined after cloning for dsDNA copy in pBR322. The nucleoprotein gene is 1517 nucleotides long of which 1446 nucleotides code for 482 amino acids. The calculated amino acid composition is in good agreement with those published for influenza A nucleoprotein genes. The amino acid sequence of the nucleoprotein contains clusters of basic amino acids and proline, a property shared with other nucleic-acid-associated proteins like Semliki forest virus nucleocapsid protein, VP1 protein of polyoma virus and Simian virus 40, and the core antigen of hepatitis B virus. The described nucleoprotein structure brings the number of sequenced genes of influenza A/PR/8/34 to five out of eight genes. 相似文献

To analyze the interrelationships between the amino acid sequences of the proteins of hepatitis C virus and the functional characteristics of different variants of this virus, a database of protein functional mapping of hepatitis C virus was developed. The database contains amino acid sequences (both full-size and fragmentary) retrieved from accessible databases and experimental data published in literature. The database also contains the results of comparison and treatment of primary data, including alignments and functional regions. On the basis of these data, variable and conservative regions of envelope proteins of hepatitis C virus were revealed. Antigenic and functional maps of structural and nonstructural proteins of the virus were constructed. The most variable region of the envelope protein E2 (HVR1) was analysed. It is assumed that the conservatism of some amino acid positions of HVR1 is related to the functions of this region. 相似文献

Specific immune adherence assay for human hepatitis A antibody application to diagnostic and epidemiologic investigations. 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
W J Miller P J Provost W J McAleer O L Ittensohn V M Villarejos M R Hilleman 《Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (New York, N.Y.)》1975,149(1):254-261
A specific immune adherence (IA) test for hepatitis A antibody in human serum was described employing liver extract of marmosets infected with CR326 strain human hepatitis A virus. Persons with hepatitis A, but not hepatitis B, developed hepatitis A IA antibody soon after onset of the acute illness and this persisted thereafter. There was very close agreement in the tests for human hepatitis A immune adherence, complement fixing (CF) and neutralizing antibodies. IA antibodies appeared to develop somewhat later than CF or neutralizing antibody. A limited epidemiologic study of a family outbreak of hepatitis A and B in Costa Rica showed simultaneous occurrence of the two diseases and was supportive of the concept that susceptible persons in a country with high hepatitis A prevalence generally acquire their infections at an early age and are immune thereafter. Most persons of high socioeconomic level in an area of low hepatitis A incidence may proceed to adulthood without experience with hepatitis A. Person of low socioeconomic level, however, such as commercial blood bank donors and prisoners, show high incidence of hepatitis A antibody. Hepatitis IA and CF antibodies persisted in human subjects for at least 7 hr after hepatitis A virus infection. Captive chimpanzees and grivet and rhesus monkeys, not given hepatitis A virus, showed evidence of previous experience with human hepatitis A or an antigenically related virus based on tests for hepatitis A antibody. Other subhuman primates, rodents, and swine, not given hepatitis A virus, were without hepatitis A antibody. The IA test provides an excellent tool for diagnostic and epidemiologic investigations of hepatitis A and should be of considerable value to detect hepatitis A virus in attempts to propagate the virus in cell culture. There was considerable difference in hepatitis A IA antibody content of different lots of commercial human immune globulin, though the majority titered 1:4000 or 1:8000. 相似文献

The results obtained in the experimental and clinical study of the preparations of mephenamine acid and levamisole with respect to their interferonogenic and interferon-stimulating action and their therapeutic effectiveness in influenza and virus hepatitis are presented. The study has revealed that mephenamine acid, along with its capacity for stimulating the processes of interferon formation in the body, produces a pronounced curative effect, prevents the development of postinfluenza complications much more effectively than levamisole and remantadin and accelerates the processes of reparation in virus hepatitis. 相似文献

The baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus was used as an expression vector to produce hepatitis B virus surface antigen with and without the pre-S domain. The S gene product was expressed as both fusion and nonfusion polypeptides. No difference was observed in the posttranslational modification of the fusion and nonfusion polypeptides. The S proteins were not secreted into the medium but were inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum, glycosylated, and partially extruded into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum as 22-nm lipoprotein particles. The oligosaccharide chains on the insect cell-derived S protein were of the N-linked high-mannose form, in contrast to the complex-type oligosaccharides detected on plasma-derived hepatitis B virus surface antigen. The pre-S-S polypeptides were inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum, glycosylated, and modified by fatty acid acylation with myristic acid. A procedure was developed to purify the S protein from cellular membranes by using detergent extraction and immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified S protein was in the form of protein-detergent micelles and was highly antigenic and immunogenic. 相似文献

The survey of the population immunological structure with respect to parenteral hepatitis showed awide circulation of hepatitis B (HB) and hepatitis C (HC) viruses among the adult population of Armenia. During the 5 year period of observation the number of persons having antibodies to HC virus increased 2.7-fold. High occurrence of antibodies to HBsAg of HB virus among the healthy population in 2002 (12.0%) in comparison with 1997 (5.4%) reflected a decreased infection rate with HB virus as well. Antibodies to hepatitis A (HA) virus were isolated, on the average, in 64 % of persons. Simultaneously with a decrease in the proportion of HA cases an increased number of HC patients was registered. No circulation of hepatitis E virus was detected. A high percentage of hepatitis cases of mixed etiology was established, as well as an increased number of combined parenteral hepatitis cases was registered (57.1%). 相似文献
