Morphological Structure of the Virus of Vaccinia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pictorial data obtained by means of the electron microscope indicate a remarkable regularity in the morphology of the elementary body of vaccinia. The virus particles apparently have internal structure and some sort of limiting membrane.

Effect of glycosylation inhibitors on the release of enveloped vaccinia virus.
Addition of 1 to 10 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-dg) or glucosamine (gln) to the growth medium of vaccinia virus-infected cells inhibited the release of extracellular enveloped vaccinia virus (EEV) without affecting the production of intracellular naked vaccinia virus (INV) particles. In contrast, INV infectivity (particles per PFU) was decreased sevenfold by 50 mM 2-dg. Treatment with 2-dg reduced ...
متن کاملVaccinia virus entry, exit, and interaction with differentiated human airway epithelia.
Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, enters and exits the host via the respiratory route. To better understand the pathogenesis of poxvirus infection and its interaction with respiratory epithelia, we used vaccinia virus and examined its interaction with primary cultures of well-differentiated human airway epithelia. We found that vaccinia virus preferentially infected the epithelia ...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus-like particles produced by a vaccinia virus expression vector.
Infectious retrovirus particles consist of a core structure containing RNA and gag-pol polypeptides surrounded by a lipid membrane studded with env proteins. A recombinant vaccinia virus was designed to express the entire gag-pol precursor protein of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Synthesis and processing of gag proteins occurred in mammalian cells infected with this live recombinant ...
متن کاملDifferences in virus-induced cell morphology and in virus maturation between MVA and other strains (WR, Ankara, and NYCBH) of vaccinia virus in infected human cells.
Live recombinants based on attenuated modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) are potential vaccine candidates against a broad spectrum of diseases and tumors. To better understand the efficacy of MVA as a human vaccine, we analyzed by confocal and electron microscopy approaches MVA-induced morphological changes and morphogenetic stages during infection of human HeLa cells in comparison to other s...
متن کاملIncomplete but Infectious Vaccinia Virions Are Produced in the Absence of Oncolysis in Feline SCCF1 Cells
Vaccinia virus is a large, enveloped virus of the poxvirus family. It has broad tropism and typically virus replication culminates in accumulation and lytic release of intracellular mature virus (IMV), the most abundant form of infectious virus, as well as release by budding of extracellular enveloped virus (EEV). Vaccinia viruses have been modified to replicate selectively in cancer cells and ...
