Immune reactivity of Visna virus-inoculated mice.
Visna virus inoculation of mice before immunization with unrelated antigens caused suppression of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. The immunosuppressive effect was dependent on the virus dose and time of administration. The number of "background" antibody-producing spleen cells increased slightly after inoculation of Visna virus. Heat treatment of Visna virus abolished its immunosupp...
متن کاملImmune response to maedi-visna virus.
The ovine maedi-visna virus (MVV) was the first lentivirus to be isolated and characterized 1957 in Iceland. MVV leads to a life-long, persistent infection with slow development of lesions in the lung and the central nervous system (CNS). The main target cells of MVV are of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and it does not infect T-lymphocytes or cause immune suppression like human immune deficie...
متن کاملImmune response to individual maedi-visna virus gag antigens.
The lesions caused by maedi-visna virus (MVV) are known to be immune mediated with a presumed contribution by the response to viral antigens. However, very little is known about the T-cell response to individual viral proteins. We have therefore expressed the three individual gag antigens of MVV strain EV1 (p16, p25, and p14) in a bacterial expression system and used the purified recombinant pr...
متن کاملEffect of IL-2 co-expressed or co-inoculated with immuno-dominant epitopes from VP1 protein of FMD virus on immune responses in BALB/c mice
Objective(s): The results of studies on vaccine development for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus show that the use of inactivated vaccines for FMD virus is not completely effective. Novel vaccinations based on immuno-dominant epitopes have been shown to induce immune responses. Furthermore, for safety of immunization, access to efficient adjuvants against FMD virus seems to be critical.Materi...
متن کاملBehavioral thermoregulation in mice inoculated with influenza virus.
Mice housed at 30 degrees C and inoculated with a mouse-adapted influenza virus show a fall in body temperature (Tb) and a decrease in food intake to almost 0 grams per day. This study tested whether the fall in Tb could be accounted for by the decreased food intake and whether the fall in Tb was due to a decrease of thermoregulatory set point or to an inability to maintain Tb at set point leve...
