Effects of Temperature and pH on Survival of Free Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus of Autographa californica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of temperature and low pH on replication and survival of nonoccluded Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus were investigated. No virus replication or formation of polynuclear inclusion bodies occurred at 37 degrees C. The virus was immediately inactivated upon exposure to pH 2.0 and was inactivated within 1 h at pH 4.0. The virus titer slowly declined, a 3-orders of magnitude reduction in virus titer, at pH 5.0 during a 4-h exposure. Virus survival at pH 6.0 was equal to that of the control in cell culture medium 199 MK (pH 7.12).

Restriction endonuclease analysis to distinguish two closely related nuclear polyhedrosis viruses: Autographa californica MNPV and Trichoplusia ni MNPV.
Restriction endonuclease fragment patterns of the deoxyribonucleic acid genomes of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (multiply embedded type) and Trichoplusia ni nuclear polyhedrosis virus (multiply embedded type) demonstrate that the two viruses are distinct but closely related variants.
متن کاملCharacterization of DNA Polymerase Activity in Trichoplusia ni Cells Infected with Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus
Nuclei isolated from Trichoplusia ni cells (TN-368) infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) were used to study the replication of viral DNA. Based on DNA : DNA hybridization data, virus-specific DNA polymerase activity was insensitive to aphidicolin and novobiocin and was inhibited by ddTTP and N-ethylmaleimide. The data indicate that the AcMNPV-specific DNA pol...
متن کاملTranscription, translation, and cellular localization of three Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus structural proteins: ODV-E18, ODV-E35, and ODV-EC27.
This paper identifies two structural proteins of the occluded derived viral envelope of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV): ODV-E18 and ODV-E35. In addition, we identify a protein, ODV-EC27, that is incorporated into the capsid of occluded virus, which is not detected in budded virus. The genes for these proteins reside within the IE0 intron. The intron was sequenced, an...
متن کاملImproving promiscuous mammalian cell entry by the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus
The insect baculovirus AcMNPV (Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus) enters many mammalian cell lines, prompting its application as a general eukaryotic gene delivery agent, but the basis of entry is poorly understood. For adherent mammalian cells, we show that entry is favoured by low pH and by increasing the available cell-surface area through a transient release from th...
متن کاملCharacterization of v-cath, a cathepsin L-like proteinase expressed by the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) contains a 966 bp ORF that encodes a papain type cysteine proteinase with cathepsin L-like characteristics. Using Western blot analysis of infected cell extracts we showed that v-cath proteinase has 35.5 kDa and 32 kDa precursor forms which are processed to a 27.5 kDa mature form in a manner characteristic of papain and catheps...
