Purified Semliki forest virus in aerosols is inactivated rapidly at 40% and above 70% relative humidity. At all humidities tested the decay of virus infectivity runs parallel with the decrease in hemagglutination activity, whereas the biological integrity of the virus ribonucleic acid is preserved. Also, free infectious ribonucleic acid is stable after spraying at all relative humidities. Evidence is presented for the hypothesis that above 20% relative humidity, virus inactivation in aersols is mainly due to surface-dependent factors, damaging the virus coat. 相似文献

When mouse L cells are infected for 22 hr with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a ribonucleic acid-containing enveloped virus, greater than 70% of the major histocompatibility antigen (H-2), is no longer detectable by the method of inhibition of immune cytolysis. Infected cells prelabeled with (14)C-glucosamine also show a correspondingly greater loss of trichloroacetic acid-insoluble radioactivity than uninfected cells. The loss of H-2 antigenic activity is not due to the viral inhibition of host cell protein synthesis since cells cultured for 18 hr in the presence of cycloheximide have the same amount of H-2 activity as untreated controls. Also, cells infected with encephalomyocarditis virus, a picornavirus, show no loss of H-2 activity at a time when host cell protein synthesis is completely inhibited. VSV structural proteins associated in vitro with uninfected L-cell plasma membranes do not render H-2 sites inaccessible to the assay. Although antibodies may not combine with all the H-2 antigenic sites on the plasma membrane, anti-H-2 serum reacted with L cells before infection does not prevent a normal infection with VSV. H-2 activity can be detected in virus samples purified from the medium of infected L cells; this virus purified after being mixed with L-cell homogenates shows greater H-2 activity than virus purified after being mixed with HeLa cell homogenates. However, VSV made in HeLa cells shows no H-2 activity when mixed with L-cell homogenates. 相似文献

Ultraviolet irradiation and actinomycin D impair the capacity of mouse embryo (ME) cells to support the replication of polyoma virus, but not of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. The loss in capacity for polyoma virus synthesis was an “all-or-none” effect and followed closely upon the loss in cellular capacity for clone formation. Cells treated with either agent produced polyoma “T” antigen, but did not synthesize polyoma structural protein. Infection of untreated ME cells with polyoma virus produced marked stimulation of both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. ME cell cultures irradiated with ultraviolet for 30 sec at 60 μw/cm2 or treated with actinomycin D at 0.1 μg/ml for 6 hr prior to infection were incapable of synthesizing DNA or RNA, even after infection with polyoma virus. Irradiation of cells during infection produced cessation of synthesis of both RNA and DNA. Addition of actinomycin D during infection did not inhibit DNA synthesis but abolished RNA synthesis and reduced the yield of polyoma virus to 10% of that in untreated infected cultures. Both agents lost the ability to prevent replication of a full yield of polyoma virus when administered 30 hr after infection or later. The period after which neither agent inhibited polyoma replication corresponded with the period at which maximal RNA synthesis in untreated infected cultures had subsided. It can be concluded on the basis of the data presented that the functional integrity of the mouse embryo cell genome is required for the replication of polyoma virus, but not for EMC virus. Whereas the requirement for cellular DNA-dependent RNA synthesis for polyoma virus replication has been demonstrated, the exact nature of the host-cell function remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Goose erythrocytes were agglutinated by five strains of rabies virus grown in monolayer cell cultures at pH 6.4 and at 0 to 4 C. Hemagglutination was not affected by the cell type in which the virus was grown. Prerequisites for occurrence of hemagglutination are absence of hemagglutination inhibitors (such as those contained in bovine serum) and a relatively high virus concentration (> 10(6) plaque-forming units of virus per ml). "Soluble" hemagglutinin was not present in crude preparations of extracellular virus. Treatment of purified preparations of extracellular virus with Tween 80 and ether did not result in release of a "soluble" hemagglutinin. The hemagglutinating property of extracellular virus seemed to be conditioned by the integrity of its coat. Preparations of infectious intracellular virus exhibited about 15 times lower hemagglutinating activity than extracellular virus. This decreased hemagglutinating activity did not seem to be caused by binding of hemagglutination inhibitors to the virus particles. Rabies virus can be quantitatively adsorbed onto and eluted from erythrocytes. Erythrocytes pretreated with rabies virus retained their ability to be agglutinated by the same virus strain. The reaction with rabies virus of erythrocytes treated with the receptor-destroying enzyme or KIO(4) was the same as that of nontreated erythrocytes. The hemagglutinating component of rabies virus, therefore, does not exhibit neuraminidase activity. Treatment of extracellular virus by various agents indicated that the hemagglutinating component consists of protein or lipoprotein. Sulfhydryl groups present in the viral hemagglutinin are essential for hemagglutination. 相似文献

Ultraviolet light (UV) impaired the capacity of L cells to support growth of encephalomyocarditis virus. The loss of capacity was partially restored by high multiplicity of infection (MOI). This phenomenon was not due to an increased probability of an infectious virus particle reaching a site of replication undamaged by UV, since UV-inactivated virus at high MOI induced restoration of the capacity to support multiplication of nonirradiated virus adsorbed at low MOI. Multiplicity reactivation of UV-irradiated virus did not play a role in this phenomenon since restoration of capacity took place without multiplication of the UV-irradiated restoring virus. The evidence indicates that restoration of capacity was not due to viral interactions involving genetic exchange. The ability to restore capacity was a property more radioresistant than infectivity, suggesting that the former is a function only of part of the viral genome. 相似文献

Shope fibroma virus establishes a persistent cytoplasmic infection in primary (RK) and serially cultivated (DRK(3)) rabbit kidney cells which is accompanied by a morphological alteration of the cells. The response of such cells to superinfection by other viruses was compared with that of control cells by determining plaque production and virus yield of superinfecting viruses. It was found that the growth of other poxviruses, myxoma and vaccinia, was greatly inhibited in the fibroma virus-infected cells, but that of pseudorabies and herpes simplex viruses, which are unrelated deoxyribonucleic acid viruses, was virtually unaffected. The ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses, poliovirus 1 and coxsackievirus B1, did not produce plaques on either RK or fibroma virus-infected (F-RK) monolayers. However, the growth of several other RNA viruses, vesicular stomatitis virus, encephalomyocarditis virus, Sindbis virus, and Newcastle disease virus, was enhanced in F-RK cells. None of these latter RNA viruses produced any infectious progeny in DRK(3) cells, but they all plaqued on and produced good yields in DRK(3) cells persistently infected with fibroma virus. This phenomenon is termed facilitation. Facilitation results from the infection of DRK(3) cells by fibroma virus. Neither interference nor facilitation were due to changes in the adsorption or eclipse of the superinfecting virus. 相似文献

Treatment of suspensions of vesicular stomatitis virus with Tween-ether results in a rapid and considerable loss of infectivity (ca. 4 logs in 2 min), but the residual infectivity is comparatively stable to further treatment with ether. The infectivity remaining after the short exposure to Tween-ether is not due to virus for the following reasons. (i) It is much less infective for tissue cultures than for mice, whereas the intact virion is equally infective for both hosts. (ii) The residual infectivity is much less stable than virus infectivity in both sucrose and tartrate gradients. (iii) Virus immune serum does not neutralize its activity. (iv) The infectivity is associated with material which sediments further in sucrose gradients and has a greater buoyant density in tartrate gradients than the virion. Experiments with (32)P-labeled virion showed that the infective substructure contains ribonucleic acid with the same sedimentation characteristics as that extracted from the virion. Electron microscopy shows that the infective component has the same overall bullet-like structure as the virion but lacks the outer envelope and fringe structure. 相似文献

The polypeptide products synthesized at different times in a cell-free system from Krebs mouse ascites tumor cells in response to the addition of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) were characterized by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels and fingerprint analysis of their tryptic peptides. Translation of the EMC RNA genome with time occurred in a nonrandom fashion in these systems, to yield products containing sequences characteristic of both virion capsid polypeptides and EMC-specific polypeptides present only in the infected cell. The molecular weights of the products fell in a series from 20,000 to 140,000 daltons, although occasionally traces of larger polypeptides were also observed. All of the major polypeptides appeared to arise from partial or complete translation of about 60% of the EMC RNA genome. They were not formed by cleavage of a large precursor molecule. It is suggested that they are artifacts generated by premature "termination" of nascent polypeptide chains at preferred sites. 相似文献

An emulsifier which had an environmental relationship to Reye's syndrome, when used to treated L-929 cultures, was shown to increase the rate of encephalomyocarditis virus penetration and uncoating while having no effect on the attachment of virus or on the replication of infectious ribonucleic acid. This treatment also rendered L-929 cells unable to respond normally to interferon inducers and reversed an already established interferon antiviral state. It is proposed that one or more of these actions result in the cellular enhancement of virus susceptibility. 相似文献

An in vitro system for production, purification, and concentration of mouse mammary tumor virus is described. Monolayer cultures of C(3)H mouse mammary tumor cells propagated at 34 C in roller bottles in the presence of dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid hormone, release B-type particles which possess ribonucleic acid and a ribonucleic acid-dependent deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase. One thousandfold concentration by ultracentrifugation with subsequent gradient fractionation yielded > 7 x 10(10) particles per ml in the 1.16- to 1.18-g/ml region. Mouse mammary tumor virus produced in this system was free of detectable C-type virus. 相似文献

A single-stranded ribonucleic acid(s) has been isolated from purified virions of visna virus. It consists of two major components, namely 63S and "4S," under the conditions employed for ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction. The 63S component can be converted to subunits by heat and dimethylsulfoxide treatments. Analyses by base composition indicate that the "4S" RNA isolated from visna virus is not a random breakdown product of the 63S component as a result of extraction, nor is it randomly derived from cellular RNA. 相似文献

Infection of human erythroleukemic K562 cells by encephalomyocarditis virus readily resulted in establishment of persistently infected cultures. In contrast to the usual typical lytic infection by encephalomyocarditis virus, in which trypan blue staining of cells reaches close to 100% by about 15 h postinfection, K562 cell cultures required 3 to 4 days postinfection to reach a maximum of about 80 to 90% cell staining. The proportion of K562 cells taking up stain gradually decreased to about 10% of those present by about 13 days postinfection; during this time, virus yield per day measured by either plaque or hemagglutination titration fell about 10-fold. The decrease in percent staining was followed by waves of increased staining accompanied by increased virus production. Virus-producing cultures were maintained for over 3 months. Evolution of both virus and cells accompanied establishment of persistence in that plaque size changed from about 7 mm in diameter for the original virus to less than 1.5 mm by day 20 postinfection and most of the cells cloned from persistently infected cultures were resistant to superinfection with the original virus. Resistance was due, at least in part, to reduced virus attachment in that binding of 3H-labeled virus to cloned resistant cells was about 2% of that to uninfected cells. 相似文献

Interferon, when added to L cells, inhibited the synthesis of infectious Mengo viral ribonucleic acid, hemagglutinins, and infectious virus by 85 to 95%. Serum-blocking antigens were also reduced by the action of interferon, but threefold excess amounts of these antigens accumulated in interferon-treated cultures above the amounts expected for the quantity of infectious virus that was produced in these cultures. Radioautographic analysis showed that 28 to 36% of the cells of an interferon-treated population synthesized viral ribonucleic acid and 36 to 47% produced viral antigens as determined by an immunofluorescence technique. Despite the reductions in synthesis of viral components, all cells in an interferon-treated culture underwent cytopathic effects at the same time as cells in infected cultures which had not been treated with interferon. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the cell destruction which results from the infection of L cells with Mengo virus is due to a protein which is coded for by the virus but is not a component of the mature virion. 相似文献

Chlorine inactivation of polioviruses resulted in the loss of viral ribonucleic acid, converting the viruses from 156S particles to 80S particles. However, it was found that virus inactivation occurred before the ribonucleic acid was released from the virions. Extraction of ribonucleic acid from partially inactivated virus suspensions indicated that chlorine inactivation was due to degradation of the ribonucleic acid before release and that ribonucleic acid loss was a secondary event. The empty 80S capsids had the same isoelectric point and ability to attach to host cells as infective virions. Thus, no major capsid conformational changes occurred during chlorine inactivation. 相似文献
