Isolation of marine bacteria with antiviral properties 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We report in this study the isolation of marine bacteria with antiviral properties that have been tentatively classified as Moraxella. These bacteria retained their virucidal capacity after prolonged subcultivation in the laboratory. The virus-inactivating agent could not be separated from the viable marine bacteria, indicating that the active agent(s) either remains associated to the microorganisms or has a very short lifetime, or both. The antiviral capacity of the isolated microorganisms was highly specific for poliovirus. No virucidal effect was observed against other strains of enteroviruses, such as Coxsackie and ECHO virus, rotavirus SA11, or bacteriophages proposed as indicators of the virological quality of water, such as coliphage f2 and bacteriophage B40-8, which infects Bacteroides fragilis. 相似文献

For viruses, the following mechanisms of penetration into cells are typical: clathrin- or dinaminmediated endocytosis, the formation of caveolae, local lysis of cell membranes, and macropinocytosis. It is accepted that (those nonenveloped viruses in the Picornaviridae family) enter cells mostly through the local lysis of their membranes. The purpose of the present study is to research the mechanisms of penetration into resident macrophages of viruses of the indicated family, including poliovirus, Echol1 and Coxsackie B1 viruses, and Type 71 enterovirus. It has been detected that, at the adhesion sites of the Coxsackie B1 virus and Type 71 enterovirus on a macrophage surface, invaginations of the plasma membranes of cells appear, followed by the consequent formation of endocytoplasmatic vesicles, i.e., caveolae. The penetration of poliovirus into macrophages occurs both through the formation of caveolae and the local lysis of the plasmolemma of cells; during the later terms (after 45 min), macropinocytosis is observed in the viral particles during the first 15 min after the Echol1 virus penetrated the cytoplasm of macrophages through the local lysis of their plasmolemma. Thereafter, the formation of endocytic vacuolae including viral particles was observed in the cytoplasm of infected macrophages. The exit of the Echol1 virus from endocytic vacuoles was performed by the local lysis of cell membrane. 相似文献

Polyethylene glycol 6000 precipitation was found to be an effective concentration method that enhanced the chances for detecting human virus pathogens in environmental samples. Percent recoveries from eluates of fresh and estuarine waters with 8% polyethylene glycol 6000 averaged 86 for hepatitis A virus, 77 for human rotavirus Wa, 87 for simian rotavirus SA11, and 68 for poliovirus. Percent recoveries of 97, 40, 97 and 105, respectively, for the same viruses were obtained from oyster eluates by the same procedure. Percent recoveries of 97 for hepatitis A virus and 78 for human rotavirus Wa were obtained from sediment eluates containing 2 M NaNO3 with a final concentration of 15% polyethylene glycol 6000. The polyethylene glycol method was shown to be more effective than the organic flocculation method for recovery of hepatitis A virus and rotaviruses Wa and SA11, but not of poliovirus 1 in laboratory studies. In field trials, hepatitis A virus or rotavirus or both were recovered from 12 of 18 eluates by polyethylene glycol, compared with recovery from 9 of 18 eluates by organic flocculation from fresh and estuarine waters subject to pollution. 相似文献

The mucosal adjuvant effect of synthetic double-stranded RNA polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] against influenza virus was examined under intranasal coadministration with inactivated hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine in BALB/c mice and was shown to have a protective effect against both nasal-restricted infection and lethal lung infection. Intranasal administration of vaccine from PR8 (H1N1) with poly(I:C) induced a high anti-HA immunoglobulin A (IgA) response in the nasal wash and IgG antibody response in the serum, while vaccination without poly(I:C) induced little response. Intracerebral injection confirmed the safety of poly(I:C). In addition, we demonstrated that administration of poly(I:C) with either A/Beijing (H1N1) or A/Yamagata (H1N1) vaccine conferred complete protection against PR8 challenge in this mouse nasal infection model, suggesting that poly(I:C) possessed cross-protection ability against variant viruses. To investigate the mechanism of the protective effect of poly(I:C), mRNA levels of Toll-like receptors and cytokines were examined in the nasal-associated lymphoid tissue after vaccination or virus challenge. Intranasal administration of HA vaccine with poly(I:C) up-regulated expression of Toll-like receptor 3 and alpha/beta interferons as well as Th1- and Th2-related cytokines. We propose that poly(I:C) is a new effective intranasal adjuvant for influenza virus vaccine. 相似文献

Inactivation of Norwalk virus in drinking water by chlorine 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Norwalk virus in water was found to be more resistant to chlorine inactivation than poliovirus type 1 (LSc2Ab), human rotavirus (Wa), simian rotavirus (SA11), or f2 bacteriophage. A 3.75 mg/liter dose of chlorine was found to be effective against other viruses but failed to inactivate Norwalk virus. The Norwalk virus inoculum remained infectious for five of eight volunteers, despite the initial presence of free residual chlorine. Infectivity in volunteers was demonstrated by seroconversion to Norwalk virus. Fourteen of 16 subjects receiving untreated inoculum seroconverted to Norwalk virus. Illness was produced in four of the eight volunteers and in 11 of 16 control subjects. A similar Norwalk virus inoculum treated with a 10 mg/liter dose of chlorine produced illness in only one and failed to induce seroconversion in any of eight volunteers. Free chlorine (5 to 6 mg/liter) was measured in the reaction vessel after a 30-minute contact period. Norwalk virus appears to be very resistant to chlorine which may explain its importance in outbreaks of waterborne disease. 相似文献

The action of immunomodulators, purified staphylococcal toxoid (PST) and lycopid, on secondary immunodeficiency state developing during infection caused by Coxsackie virus B3 was studied. This defect was manifested by delayed hypersensitivity to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and the suppression of neutralizing antibodies to poliomyelitis virus. Depending on the scheme of the experiment, PST normalized the defects of immune response to SRBC or poliovirus, increased suppression or showed no activity. Lycopid corrected the defects of humoral response to SRBC. The combination of PST and lycopid was found to produce no increase of suppression. The suggestion was made on the expediency of combination of two (and probably more) immunomodulators for increasing the efficiency of correction of secondary immunodeficiency. 相似文献

Picornavirus infectivity is dependent on the RNA poly(A) tail, which binds the poly(A) binding protein (PABP). PABP was reported to stimulate viral translation and RNA synthesis. Here, we studied encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) and poliovirus (PV) genome expression in Krebs-2 and HeLa cell-free extracts that were drastically depleted of PABP (96%-99%). Although PABP depletion markedly diminished EMCV and PV internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation of a polyadenylated luciferase mRNA, it displayed either no (EMCV) or slight (PV) deleterious effect on the translation of the full-length viral RNAs. Moreover, PABP-depleted extracts were fully competent in supporting EMCV and PV RNA replication and virus assembly. In contrast, removing the poly(A) tail from EMCV RNA dramatically reduced RNA synthesis and virus yields in cell-free reactions. The advantage conferred by the poly(A) tail to EMCV synthesis was more pronounced in untreated than in nuclease-treated extract, indicating that endogenous cellular mRNAs compete with the viral RNA for a component(s) of the RNA replication machinery. These results suggest that the poly(A) tail functions in picornavirus replication largely independent of PABP. 相似文献

Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA contains a covalently bound sequence of polyriboadenylic acid (poly(A). This was determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of complete T1 and pancreatic RNase digests of formamidesucrose gradient-purified RNA and subsequent analysis of the product by alkaline hydrolysis. The size of the EMC virus genomic poly(A) sequence was estimated by formamide-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the RNase-resistant product, or by [3H-]poly(U) hybridization to freshly purified virion RNA, to be, on average, 40 nucleotides in length. The evidence obtained from [3H-]isoniazid labelling and other experiments would indicate that the poly(A) sequence is located at the 3'-terminus of EMC virus RNA. 相似文献

The nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) appears to be the most promising target for anti-flavivirus therapy because of its multiple enzymatic activities that are indispensable for virus replication. NS3 of dengue virus type 2 (DEN2) is composed of two domains, a serine protease in the N-terminal domain (NS3pro) and RNA-stimulated nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase)/RNA helicase at the C-terminus (NS3h). NS3 plays an important role in viral replication and the coordinated regulation of all the catalytic activities in the full-length NS3 protein. In this study, a plasmid harboring the NS3 helicase domain (NS3h) was constructed by PCR. The 56.5 kDa NS3h protein was purified by metal-chelate affinity chromatography followed by renaturation, mediated by artificial chaperone-assisted refolding, which yielded the active helicase. NTPase activity was assayed with Malachite Green. The NTPase activity in the presence of poly(U) showed a higher turnover number (k cat) and a lower K m value than without poly(U). The activity increased approximately fourfold in the presence of polynucleotides. This indicates that NTPase activity of dengue NS3 can be stimulated by polynucleotides. A helicase assay based on internal fluorescence quenching was conducted using short internally quenched DNA oligonucleotides as substrates. Significant fluorescence signaling increase was observed in the absence of polynucleotides such as poly(U). No unwinding activity was observed with addition of poly(U). The approach we describe here is useful for the further characterization of substrate specificity and for the design of high-throughput assays aimed at discovery of inhibitors against NS3 NTPase/helicase activities. 相似文献

A cell model of primary macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity of flavivirus-susceptible and congenic resistant mice has been used to study the extent and kinetics of antiviral effects against West Nile virus upon priming with alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) or poly(I-C) (pIC). The pattern of flavivirus resistance expressed after priming of cells in this model was in good agreement with the pattern of flavivirus resistance described in the brains of the corresponding mouse strains. While priming with either IFN-alpha/beta or pIC completely blocked flavivirus replication in macrophages from resistant mice, it only transiently reduced flavivirus replication in macrophages from susceptible mice. It was only the combined pretreatment with IFN-alpha/beta and pIC that elicited strong antiviral responses that completely prevented flavivirus replication in macrophages from susceptible mice. Primary macrophages isolated from the blood of healthy human donors expressed a similar need for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) cofactor in developing efficient antiviral responses against West Nile virus. These findings reveal that the inefficient IFN-alpha/beta-induced antiviral effects against flaviviruses in cells from susceptible hosts could be successfully complemented by an external dsRNA factor leading to the complete eradication of the virus. This treatment appears to compensate for the lack of an inborn resistance mechanism in cells from the susceptible host. Furthermore, it may also provide useful clues for the prevention and treatment of flavivirus infections. 相似文献

Susceptibility of eight strains of influenza A and B viruses to interferon and to poly(I) . poly(C) were determined by the plaque reduction method. All strains tested were slightly less susceptible than vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in an established line of canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The 50% plaque depression doses (PD50) of poly(I) . poly(C) for influenza A and B viruses were as high as 3.0- to 4.5-fold and 6- to 18-fold that for VSV, respectively. The amounts of interferon required to inhibit plaque formation of influenza A and B viruses by 50% were 3.0-6.2 and 7.3-15.2 units/ml, respectively. The ratio of PD50 of poly(I) . poly(C) for each strain of influenza viruses tested to that for VSV in chick embryo cells was almost the same as in MDCK cells. Furthermore, in chick embryo cells, the strains of influenza virus tested were demonstrated to be much more susceptible to poly(I) . poly(C) than both Newcastle disease virus and vaccinia virus. It is suggested that influenza viruses may be relatively susceptible to interferon and to poly(I) . poly(C). 相似文献

Recombinant polioviruses expressing antigens from rotavirus, herpes simplex virus type 2, and hepatitis B virus were generated. Fusion of the heterologous polypeptides to the amino terminus of the poliovirus polyprotein did not prevent myristylation of VP0, suggesting a novel mechanism of myristylation for these recombinant viruses. The effects of the parental genetic background, different foreign sequences, and different insert sizes on growth characteristics were compared. Both the size and the nature of the heterologous sequence appeared to be factors influencing the growth and stability of recombinant polioviruses. All of the recombinants showed a temperature-sensitive phenotype, regardless of the genetic background (attenuated or wild type) from which they were derived. Preliminary studies with transgenic mice carrying the poliovirus receptor gene are discussed. 相似文献

The content, size, and mechanism of synthesis of 3'-terminal poly(A) on the various intracellular species of poliovirus RNA have been examined. All viral RNA species bound to poly(U) filters and contained RNase-resistant stretches of poly(A) which could be analyzed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. At 3 h after infection, the poly(A) on virion RNA, relicative intermediate RNA, polyribosomal RNA, and total cytoplasmic 35S RNA was heterogeneous in size with an average length of 75 nucleotides. By 6 h after infection many of the intracellular RNA's had poly(A) of over 150 nucleotides in length, but the poly(A) in virion RNA did not increase in size suggesting that the amount of poly(A) which can be encapsidated is limited. At all times, the double-stranded poliovirus RNA molecules had poly(A) of 150 to 200 nucleotides. Investigation of the kinetics of poly(A) appearance in the replicative intermediate and in finished 35S molecules indicated that poly(A) is the last portion of the 35S RNA to be synthesized; no nascent poly(A) could be detected in the replicative intermediate. Although this result indicates that poliovirus RNA is synthesized 5' leads to 3' like other RNA's, it also suggests that much of the poly(A) found in the replicative intermediate is an artifact possibly arising from the binding of finished 35S RNA molecules to the replicative intermediate during extraction. The addition of poly(A) to 35S RNA molecules was not sensitive to guanidene. 相似文献

The growth of poliovirus in a HeLa cell culture persistently infected with the hemagglutinating virus of Japan (HVJ, the Sendai strain of parainfluenza 1 virus) (HeLaHVJ) was studied. Plaques produced by poliovirus on HeLaHVJ cell monolayers were hazier, smaller and fewer than those on HeLa cells. HeLaHVJ cells were indistinguishable from normal HeLa cells with respect to adsorption rate and penetration efficiency of poliovirus. Extracellular yields of poliovirus in HeLaHVJ cells were lower, and the cytopathic changes were less than those in normal HeLa cells, while cell-associated virus growth in HeLaHVJ cells was nearly equal to that in HeLa cells. HeLaHVJ cells responded more effectively to the action of magnesium chloride, which facilitates virus release from infected cells, resulting in an cytopathic effects. No reduction in poliovirus yield could be detected in HeLa cells acutely infected with HVJ. The relationship between the inhibition of the release of poliovirus from HeLaHVJ cells and the persistent infection of the cells with HVJ is discussed. 相似文献
