Filtrable Virus in Guinea Pigs

In a previous paper (1), the occurrence of a filtrable virus in the submaxillary glands of full grown guinea pigs was reported. Emulsions of the submaxillary glands containing potent virus were found to be active after filtration through a Berkefeld candle. The virus was thermolabile, resistant to 50 per cent glycerol, and could not be cultivated either in the presence or absence of air. The va...

Antitussive Effect of Plantago lanceolata in Guinea Pigs

Background: Several therapeutic effects including anti-asthma and dyspnea have been described for Plantago lanceolata. In the present study the antitussive effect of this plant was evaluated. Methods: The antitussive effects of aerosols of two different concentrations of Soxhlet and macerated ethanolic extracts, codeine and saline were tested by counting the number of coughs produced due to aer...

Transient expression of virus-like particles in plants: a promising platform for rapid vaccine production

Transient expression is an efficient and fast system to express recombinant proteins which has been used in different eukaryotic hosts such as mammalian and plant cells. Several applications of this system have so far been used which expression of proteins of interest is one of them. Recently, plants have attracted attention for being used as hosts for the production of recombinant pharmaceutic...

Rotavirus-like, calicivirus-like, and 23-nm virus-like particles associated with diarrhea in young pigs.

Virus particles morphologically similar to caliciviruses and rotaviruses were detected by electron microscopy (EM) in the intestinal contents of a 27-day-old diarrheic nursing pig. A third small spherical 23-nm virus-like particle was also observed. Calicivirus-like particles averaged 33 nm in diameter. Similar to rotaviruses, rotavirus-like particles were present as single-capsid 55-nm forms o...
