Antigenic relationships among four herpesviruses.

Serological studies on Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

Following the recognition of four primary colonial types of Leuconostoc mewnteroies by McCleskey et al. (1947), Leiva-Quiros and McCleskey (1947) studied the serological relationships among strains of the four types. They employed glucose-grown cultures for the production of antibodies so the cell antigens could be studied without the complication introduced by the dextran hapten. Several worke...

GENETIC, ANTIGENIC AND PHENOTYPIC COMPARISON OF HERPESVIRUSES ISOLATED FROM DOMESTIC AND WILD FELIDS By EULALIE KASHWANTALE

Serological relationships among herpesviruses: cross-reaction between marek's disease virus and pseudorabies virus as detected by immunogluorescence.

Marek's disease virus (MDV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) cross-reacted by fluorescent antibody test but not by gel diffusion, virus neutralization, or cross-protection tests. Herpesvirus of turkeys cross-reacted with MDV but not with PRV. Other herpesviruses tested did not have cross-reactions.

Herpesvirus DNA is consistently detected in lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

On the basis of earlier reports associating Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) with half of the cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), we hypothesized that chronic infection with EBV or a closely related herpesvirus would be detected in all cases of IPF. We tested lung specimens from 33 IPF patients (8 patients with familial IPF and 25 patients with sporadic IPF) and 25 patients with other disease...

Antigenic and genomic relationships among turkey and bovine enteric coronaviruses.

Antigenic and genomic relationships among tissue culture-adapted turkey enteric coronavirus (TCV) isolates, three strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and mammalian coronaviruses were investigated. Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation experiments using polyclonal antisera showed that the four major structural proteins of TCV cross-reacted with the four homologous proteins of bo...
