An Infectious Hepatitis of Undetermined Origin in Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
A transmissible agent (AHA) causing ascites and hepatitis in mice has been described. No known pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, leptospira, rickettsia, or viruses have been demonstrated in the infected mice. AHA does not pass through a Seitz filter and differs in most respects from the agents previously described which produce hepatitis in mice.

602 an Infectious Hepatitis of Undetermined Origin
Experiments with volunteers have established the viral etiology of human hepatitis. Several species of animals are susceptible to hepatitis caused by viruses which appear to differ from each other and from the virus or viruses infecting man. Horses (1--4) may develop hepatitis following the inoculation of homologous serum. Swine (5, 6), dogs (7, 8), and birds (9) are all susceptible to epizooti...

متن کاملImmunogenicity Evaluation of a DNA Vaccine Expressing the Hepatitis C Virus Non-Structural Protein 2 Gene in C57BL/6 Mice
Backgrounds: Most of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections elicit poor immune responses and 75% to 85% of cases become chronic therefore, the development of an effective vaccine against HCV is of paramount importance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate co-administration of HCV non-Structural Protein 2 and IL-12 DNA vaccines in C57BL/6 mice. Methods: A plasmid encoding full-length HCV NS2 prot...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Viruses Among Blood Donors in North of Iran
Background and Objective: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are both transmitted by the fecal-oral route and are known as leading causes of acute viral hepatitis in the world, especially in developing countries. There is a lack of updated data on HAV and HEV seroprevalence in the north of Iran. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HAV and HEV among blood donors ...
متن کاملHSP Roles as Biomarkers and Antigens in Bacterial and Viral Infections
Diagnosis of infectious diseases remains an important issue in medical science. Identification of biomarkers can be used to predict early infections. Recently, heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been known as the conserved compounds expressed under stress conditions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. These proteins act as molecular chaperones. Several studies showed the increased levels o...
