Host defense mechanisms against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus: in vitro stimulation of sensitized lymphocytes by virus antigen.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from cattle immunized or infected with infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus were cultured in vitro with ultraviolet light-inactivated IBR virus, and the degree of lymphocyte blastogenesis was quantitated by measurement of the uptake of [(3)H]thymidine into acid-insoluble material. Lymphocyte blastogenesis only occurred with PBL from immunized or infected animals. The optimal conditions for lymphocyte blastogenesis were defined. Blastogenesis was specific since cells from animals immunized against IBR failed to react with two other herpesvirus antigens tested, herpes simplex and equine rhinopneumonitis viruses. Blastogenesis could be prevented by reacting IBR antigen with IBR-specific antibody before adding to cultures, but incorporating IBR-specific antibody in the culture medium after adding free antigen failed to inhibit blastogenesis. With intranasally infected animals, lymphocyte blastogenesis was detectable after 5 days, reached peak levels between days 7 and 10, and then declined to low levels by day 19. In contrast, levels of neutralizing antibody were barely detectable on day 7 and reached maximal concentrations on day 19. The lymphocyte blastogenesis assay was emphasized as a convenient and useful in vitro correlate of cell-mediated immunity that should help define the role of cell-mediated immunity in immunity to herpesviruses.

Detection of antibody against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis glycoprotein gE in aborted cattle in Mashhad, Iran
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious disease caused by the bovine herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1), resulting in significant losses to livestock around the world. BoHV-1 is a major pathogen of cattle, primarily associated with respiratory/genital tract infections and abortion. In the present study, we determined the presence of antibodies in 120 serum samples of cattle with the histo...

We used bacteria-derived bovine alpha-interferon I1 (Bo IFN-alpha I1) to study its antiviral effect in a bovine turbinate cell line on bovine diarrhea virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, parainfluenza 3 virus, and pseudorabies virus. We based our study upon replicate tests for each strain by using a block titration system with various concentrations of Bo IFN-alpha I1 against variou...

Susceptibility of bovine macrophages to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus infection.
Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus replicated in cultured bovine alveolar macrophages (AM). However, yields of infectious virus were low, with maximum titers approximately 100 times that of the residual inoculum. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopic studies indicated that the majority of macrophages produced viral antigen, but after infection at a multiplicity of 0.1, only 4.1% of A...
