PARTIAL SPECIFIC VOLUME AND WATER CONTENT OF INFLUENZA VIRUS

Specific Anti-influenza Virus

A B S T R A C T Specific anti-influenza virus antibody production in vitro was studied in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 17 patients with hypogammaglobulinemia. Cells obtained from 6 of 12 patients with common variable hypogammaglobulinemia produced anti-influenza virus antibody, predominantly of the IgM isotype, when cultured in vitro with type A influenza virus. No antibody was produ...

The nucleic acid content of influenza virus.

For a niuiiber oi' reasons, the main one being lack ot" a sxiitable host system, few chemical studies on the mode of influenza virus multiplication have been carried out. Of the hypotheses which have been proposed, Hoyle's (19f)2) is perhaps the most amenable to experimental approach by chemical methods. Briefly, it is claimed that the elementary particle is composed of two soluble portions, a ...

Isolation and Identification of Avian Influenza Virus H9N2 Subtype

Design, Production, and Evaluation of Virosomes from H1N1 Influenza Virus

Background: The last two decades witnessed the spread of the first generation of influenza viruses. Influenza virosomes are promising tools in vaccine and immunotherapy programs because of their applications in various medical fields. The aim of the present study was to construct cationic virosomes derived from influenza virus using dialyzable detergent (DCPC) and cationic lipid (DOTAP) in vit...

Serological Investigation of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus in Slaughtered Water Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in Khuzestan, Iran

The aim of the present was to evaluate the prevalence of H9N2-specific antibodies among water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). To this end, blood samples were obtained from 80 randomly selected water buffaloes, 40 cases of which were obtained in the winter months, and 40 cases were sampled in the spring months. The presence of H9N2-specific antibody was determined by hemaggl...
