Caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV), a naturally occurring lentivirus of goats, causes disease characterized by virus persistence and recurrent arthritis. These studies demonstrate in vitro neutralization of CAEV infectivity by serum from goats infected with CAEV. Serum neutralizing activity was not detectable until 10 to 36 months postinfection, and titers were relatively low (less than or equal to 1:8). Serum neutralization was caused by antibody and was virus specific. Antigenic variants of CAEV were isolated from cell-free joint fluid of arthritic goats 9 to 18 months postinfection. The delayed appearance of neutralizing antibody and the subsequent development of antigenic variants may promote CAEV persistence in vivo and provide a stimulus for recurrent arthritis. 相似文献

Antibody titers to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus surface glycoprotein gp135 and core protein p28 in synovial fluid and serum from 35 goats infected for 3 years were compared with the histologic severity of arthritis in these animals. Anti-gp135 antibody titers in synovial fluid and serum directly reflect the severity of carpal arthritis in chronically infected goats. 相似文献

Competitive inhibition of hybridization between 125I-labeled caprine arthritis-encephalitis viral RNA and homologous cDNA by heterologous viral RNA shows that the caprine retrovirus shares <20% genome sequence homology with visna and progressive pneumonia viruses. These viruses, however, are indistinguishable in immunodiffusion reactions involving the major structural protein (p28). 相似文献

In marine ecosystems, macroalgae are the habitat for several microorganisms, fungi being among them. In the Antarctic benthic coastal ecosystem, macroalgae play a key role in organic matter cycling. In this study, 13 different macroalgae from Potter Cove and surrounding areas were sampled and 48 fungal isolates were obtained from six species, four Rhodophyta Ballia callitricha, Gigartina skottsbergii, Neuroglossum delesseriae and Palmaria decipiens, and two Phaeophyceae: Adenocystis utricularis and Ascoseira mirabilis. Fungal isolates mostly belonged to the Ascomycota phylum (Antarctomyces, Cadophora, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Phialocephala, and Pseudogymnoascus) and only one to the phylum Mucoromycota. Two of the isolates could not be identified to genus level, implying that Antarctica is a source of probable novel fungal taxa with enormous bioprospecting and biotechnological potential. 73% of the fungal isolates were moderate eurypsychrophilic (they grew at 5–25 °C), 12.5% were eurypsychrophilic and grew in the whole range, 12.5% of the isolates were narrow eurypsychrophilic (growth at 15–25 °C), and Mucoromycota AUe4 was classified as stenopsychrophilic as it grew at 5–15 °C. Organic extracts of seven macroalgae from which no fungal growth was obtained (three red algae Georgiella confluens, Gymnogongrus turquetii, Plocamium cartlagineum, and four brown algae Desmarestia anceps, D. Antarctica, Desmarestia menziesii, Himantothallus grandifolius) were tested against representative fungi of the genera isolated in this work. All extracts presented fungal inhibition, those from Plocamium cartilagineum and G. turquetii showed the best results, and for most of these macroalgae, this represents the first report of antifungal activity and constitute a promising source of compounds for future evaluation. 相似文献

This study evaluated type-specific and cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies induced by immunization with modified surface glycoproteins (SU) of the 63 isolate of caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus (CAEV-63). Epitope mapping of sera from CAEV-infected goats localized immunodominant linear epitopes in the carboxy terminus of SU. Two modified SU (SU-M and SU-T) and wild-type CAEV-63 SU (SU-W) were produced in vaccinia virus and utilized to evaluate the effects of glycosylation or the deletion of immunodominant linear epitopes on neutralizing antibody responses induced by immunization. SU-M contained two N-linked glycosylation sites inserted into the target epitopes by R539S and E542N mutations. SU-T was truncated at 518A, upstream from the target epitopes, by introduction of termination codons at 519Y and 521Y. Six yearling Saanen goats were immunized subcutaneously with 30 microg of SU-W, SU-M, or SU-T in Quil A adjuvant and boosted at 3, 7, and 16 weeks. SU antibody titers determined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay demonstrated anamnestic responses after each boost. Wild-type and modified SU-induced type-specific CAEV-63 neutralizing antibodies and cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against CAEV-Co, a virus isolate closely related to CAEV-63, and CAEV-1g5, an isolate geographically distinct from CAEV-63, were determined. Immunization with SU-T resulted in altered recognition of SU linear epitopes and a 2.8- to 4.6-fold decrease in neutralizing antibody titers against CAEV-63, CAEV-Co, and CAEV-1g5 compared to titers of SU-W-immunized goats. In contrast, immunization with SU-M resulted in reduced recognition of glycosylated epitopes and a 2.4- to 2.7-fold increase in neutralizing antibody titers compared to titers of SU-W-immunized goats. Thus, the glycosylation of linear immunodominant nonneutralization epitopes, but not epitope deletion, is an effective strategy to enhance neutralizing antibody responses by immunization. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence comparisons were used to investigate the evolution of P
transposable elements and the possibility that horizontal transfer has
played a role in their occurrence in natural populations of Drosophila and
other Diptera. The phylogeny of P elements was examined using published
sequences from eight dipteran taxa and a new, partial sequence from
Scaptomyza elmoi. The results from a number of different analyses are
highly consistent and reveal a P-element phylogeny that contradicts the
phylogeny of the species. At least three instances of horizontal transfer
are necessary to explain this incongruence, but other explanations cannot
be ruled out at this time.

Equine infectious anemia virus was found to be comprised of fourteen polypeptides of molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 79,000. Eighty percent of the virion protein was accounted for by five polypeptides, including two non-glycosylated components (p29 and p13) comprising one-half of the virion protein and three glycoproteins (gp77/79, gp64, and gp40). 相似文献

The organization of the mammalian S phase was studied in synchronized mouse embryo cells in terms of the spatial relationship between replication units whose synthesis is initiated at different times in S phase and the rate of assimilation of replication units into high molecular weight DNA strands.The formation of high molecular weight nascent DNA strands several replication units in length was analyzed by velocity sedimentation in alkaline sucrose gradients and by isopycnic centrifugation in alkaline Cs2SO4/CsCl gradients. Differential labeling with an isotopic and a density label shows that replication units synthesized at different stages of the S phase are not found within the same high molecular weight polynucleotide strand. It is thus concluded that replication units duplicated at different stages of the S phase are spatially organized in clusters along the mammalian genome.The rate of formation of high molecular weight nascent DNA strands is at least 4 to 8 times slower than that predicted from the spatial organization of replication units and the rate of chain growth within replication units. It is concluded that the process of joining of the completed nascent strands of adjacent replication units plays a major role in the rate of completion of high molecular weight strands. 相似文献

To dissect mechanisms of caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus-induced arthritis, an undefined immunodominant viral glycoprotein, gp90 (G. C. Johnson, A. F. Barbet, P. Klevjer-Anderson, and T. C. McGuire, Infect. Immun. 41:657-665, 1983), was characterized. Monoclonal antibody to gp90 and specific antiserum to env gene products demonstrated that gp90 was a transmembrane protein (TM) dimer. Goats with progressive arthritis had high antibody titers to oligomeric and monomeric (38-kDa) TM. 相似文献
