Classification of North American porcine enteroviruses: a comparison with European and Japanese strains.

Fluorescent antibody technique in cultured cells infected with porcine enteroviruses.

Genotyping of porcine teschoviruses isolated from 1960 to 1980 in the former Czechoslovakia and new Porcine teschovirus isolates obtained from piglets with diarrhoea

The porcine enteroviruses (family Picornaviridae) were described as causative agents of neurological disorders known as Teschen/Talfan disease, reproductive failure, dermal lesions, enteric disease and pneumonia of swine. Recently, porcine enteroviruses were reclassified on the basis of genome sequencing data. A new Picornavirus genus named Teschovirus (formerly PEV CPE group I.) was establishe...

Antigenic variability among North American and European strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus as defined by monoclonal antibodies to the matrix protein.

Two hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to the 19-kDa matrix (M) protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were obtained from BALB/c mice that were immunized with a reference Quebec tissue culture-adapted strain (strain IAF-Klop). The polypeptide specificities of the MAbs were determined by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation tests with co...

Typing of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses by a multiplex PCR assay.

A rapid multiplex PCR assay was developed to distinguish between North American and European genotypes of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus after a portion of the polymerase gene (open reading frame 1b) was sequenced for two North American PRRS virus strains. DNA products with unique sizes characteristic of each genotype were obtained.

A Comparison of Relationship between Text and Picture in the Selected Iranian and Contemporary American-European Illustrated-Fiction Books Based on the Theory of Maria Nikolajeva and Carole Scott

Illustrated-fiction books are special forms of art that are the combination of text and picture. The relationship between text and picture in this genre is diverse and variegated, and has different effects on the audience; however, little research has been done about it. The goal of this research is to compare text/picture relationship in the selected Iranian and contemporary American-European ...
