Neuraminidase activity and syncytial formation in variants of parainfluenza 3 virus.
By a sensitive fluorometric assay method, we could definitely demonstrate neuraminidase activity for two variants of parainfluenza 3 virus, M and SC, which were previously shown to have no detectable neuraminidase activity. The enzyme activities of these viruses were very similar to each other, showing a much lower catalytic rate, a much higher Km value, and a more acidic pH optimum than those ...
متن کاملHemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene sequence-based reclassification of human parainfluenza virus 3 variants.
The most comprehensive phylogenetic classification of human parainfluenza virus 3 (HPIV-3) was recently developed [PLoS One 2012;7:e43893]. This classification included three distinct clusters (A, B and C) with subdivision of cluster C into four subclusters (C1-4). In the present report, the classification of HPIV-3 was refined by inclusion of 27 overlooked beside newly characterized Saudi vari...
متن کاملImmunity against parainfluenza-3 virus in cattle: anti-neuraminidase activity in serum and nasal secretion.
The antigenicity of two parainfluenza=3 virus strains, a "neuraminidasestrong" and a "neuraminidase-weak," was compared. For both strains the amount of hemagglutinin units was equal. The antibody responses to neuraminidase and hemagglutinin were measured on samples of serum and nasal secretion and were found to be similar, irrespective of the strain used for immunization. Anti-neuraminidase act...
متن کاملAntiviral activity of mycosynthesized silver nanoparticles against herpes simplex virus and human parainfluenza virus type 3
The interaction between silver nanoparticles and viruses is attracting great interest due to the potential antiviral activity of these particles, and is the subject of much research effort in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and with human parainfluenza virus ...
متن کاملHuman parainfluenza virus type 3 HN-receptor interaction: effect of 4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en on a neuraminidase-deficient variant.
The envelope of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPF3) contains two viral glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion protein (F). HN, which is responsible for receptor attachment and for promoting F-mediated fusion, also possesses neuraminidase (receptor-destroying) activity. We reported previously that 4-guanidino-neu5Ac2en (4-GU-DANA) and related sialic acid-based inh...
