Intrauterine Zika virus infection of pregnant immunocompetent mice models transplacental transmission and adverse perinatal outcomes
Zika virus (ZIKV) crosses the placenta and causes congenital disease. Here we develop an animal model utilizing direct ZIKV inoculation into the uterine wall of pregnant, immunocompetent mice to evaluate transplacental transmission. Intrauterine inoculation at embryonic day (E) 10, but not E14, with African, Asian or American strains of ZIKV reduces fetal viability and increases infection of pl...
متن کاملThe Effect of Glycoprotein B DNA Immuniation on HSV-l Lethal Infection of BALB/c Mice
Background and Aims: Glycoprotein B (gB) is among the most important immunogenic proteins of HSV-1 that is now being used as recombinant vaccine to induce protectively against the virus. It is believed that gB is responsible for induction of neutralizing antibody and up to 90% of CTL (Cytotoxic T Cell) activity against HSV-1 in some haplotypes. Methods: In the present study the antibody titer ...
متن کاملModification of severe coxsackievirus B 3 infection in marasmic mice by transfer of immune lymphoid cells.
Coxsackievirus causes severe disease in adult mice subjected to sustained post-weaning undernutrition (marasmus). Virus-infected marasmic mice have an increased incidence of mortality, severe lesions, and elevated and persistent viral in target organs. Transfer of immune lymphoid cells 30 min or 24 hr after viral challenge significantly reduced the incidence of death and lesions. The protective...
متن کاملP-146: Toxoplasmosis: Experimental Vaginal Infection in NMRI Mice and Effect on Uterin,Placenta and Fetus Tissues
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic pathogen. Vertical transmission of the parasite occurs when females were infected primarily during gestation. This parasite transmitted to the fetus through the placenta and may cause miscarriage, permanent neurological damage, premature birth and visual impairment. Materials and Methods: Two 6-8-week NMRI females mice were crossed with one...
