Complement Fixation with the Neurotropic Viruses
Antigens capable of fixing complement specifically with the appropriate antibodies have been prepared from brain tissue of hamsters and mice infected with the viruses of St. Louis, Japanese, Western, and Eastern encephalitis, and with the West Nile virus. The antigens were freed of the material which reacts with normal serum by means of centrifugation at relatively high speed. In addition, the ...
متن کاملTransneuronal circuit tracing with neurotropic viruses.
Because neurotropic viruses naturally traverse neural pathways, they are extremely valuable for elucidating neural circuits. Naturally occurring herpes and rabies viruses have been used for transneuronal circuit tracing for decades. Depending on the type of virus and strain, virus can travel preferentially in the anterograde or the retrograde direction. More recently, genetic modifications have...
متن کاملSpecificity in the Effects on Brain Metabolism of Two Differing Neurotropic Viruses
1. Brain tissue infected with the virus of Western equine encephalomyelitis shows specific differences in metabolism from brain tissue infected with the virus of poliomyelitis. 2. With added glucose concentration of 121 mg. per cent, oxygen utilization of poliomyelitic brain is significantly below normal and that of encephalitic brain is not. 3. With added glucose concentration of 217 mg. per c...
متن کاملNeurotropic viruses and cerebral palsy: population based case-control study.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between cerebral palsy and direct evidence for perinatal exposure to neurotropic viruses. DESIGN Population based case-control study. SETTING Adelaide Women's and Children's Hospital Research Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Newborn screening cards of 443 white case patients with cerebral palsy and 883 white controls were tested f...
متن کاملPersistent infection with neurotropic herpes viruses and cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND Herpes virus infections can cause cognitive impairment during and after acute encephalitis. Although chronic, latent/persistent infection is considered to be relatively benign, some studies have documented cognitive impairment in exposed persons that is untraceable to encephalitis. These studies were conducted among schizophrenia (SZ) patients or older community dwellers, among whom ...
