Viruria in Dogs after Injection of Coxsackie B - 1 Virus into a Renal Artery * IRWIN SCHULTZ AND C . LARKIN

چکیده
Viruria has been demonstrated in many human and animal viral infections (1, 2). Preliminary studies in mice and rats by Schultz and Neva (3) established that virus passes from blood to urine within 30 minutes after intravenous injection under the conditions of their experiments. This viruria was referred to as "immediate viruria" and was considered to be distinct from the viruria that occurs during acute infections. In the present study, dogs were used in experiments that were technically too difficult to be carried out in smaller laboratory animals. Renal physiological and virological techniques were combined to study the mechanisms of virus clearance from the blood by the kidney and to establish the locus in the nephron where virus gains entry into the urine. Previous studies of a similar nature include those of Keller and Zatzman (4), who injected Bacillus megatheriumi phage and studied its renal excretion and distribution in the liver and spleen of dogs. Petrov (5) used injection of bacteriophage of Escherichia coli in dogs to establish clearance values for these virus particles. Although Schultz and Neva (3) were unable to determine the renal contribution to viruria in rats, they observed that the rat bladder is permeable to small numbers of virus particles. Our present studies demonstrate that Coxsackie B-1 virus (a small enterovirus) can pass rapidly

متن کاملInjury to the Ca2+ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in anesthetized dogs contributes to myocardial reperfusion injury.
OBJECTIVE Sarcoplasmic reticulum dysfunction may contribute to calcium (Ca2+) overload during myocardial reperfusion. The aim of this study was to investigate its role in reperfusion injury. METHODS Open chest dogs undergoing 15 min of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and 3 h of reperfusion were randomized to intracoronary infusions of 0.9% saline, vehicle, or the Ca2+ chann...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant canine distemper vaccine on antibody titers in previously vaccinated dogs.
Two canine distemper virus (CDV) vaccine types are currently commercially available: modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines and a canarypox recombinant CDV (rCDV) vaccine (Recombitek, Merial). This study compared the ability of the rCDV vaccine and MLV vaccines to significantly enhance (boost) the antibody response of previously immunized adult and juvenile dogs. A significant (fourfold or greater)...
متن کاملEffect of a combination of clevudine and emtricitabine with adenovirus-mediated delivery of gamma interferon in the woodchuck model of hepatitis B virus infection.
Our aim was to evaluate the antiviral effect of a combination of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, emtricitabine (FTC) and clevudine (L-FMAU), with the addition of an adenovirus-driven delivery of recombinant gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in the woodchuck model of hepatitis B virus infection. Six woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV)-infected woodchucks received L-FMAU (10 mg/kg) plus F...

Viral myocarditis is the most common heart disease in infants, children, young adults and pregnant women. Although a number of viruses from different genera, such as adenovirus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), parvoviruses and cytomegalovirus have been reported to cause myocarditis (Bowles et al., 2003; Kindermann et al., 2008; Kuhl et al., 2005a; Kuhl et al., 2005b; Kyto et al., 2005; Mahrholdt et al...
