Biosynthesis of virus-specific proteins in cells infected with infectious bursal disease virus and their significance as structural elements for infectious virus and incomplete particles.

چکیده
It has previously been shown that infectious bursal disease virus is a naked icosahedral particle with a diameter of about 60 nm and a genome consisting of two segments of double-stranded RNA (Müller et al., J. Virol. 31:584-589, 1979). One of the two major structural polypeptides (molecular weight, 40,000) of this virus could not be found in lysates of infected cells; it is derived from a precursor polypeptide demonstrable inside the cells in relatively large quantities and seems to be processed during virus assembly or later. The precursor molecule is regularly present in the infectious virus particle (buoyant density, 1.33 g/ml) in minor proportions, but it represents an outstanding structural element of incomplete noninfectious particles ("top components"; buoyant density, 1.29 g/ml) which contain viral RNA. This type of incomplete particles is mainly produced by chicken embryo fibroblasts in contrast to lymphoid cells from the bursa of Fabricius. Precursor-product relationships also seem to exist in the biosynthesis of the other viral polypeptides. In contrast to some other viruses with a segmented double-stranded RNA genome, none of the structural proteins of infectious bursal disease virus is appreciably glycosylated.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infects young chickens and causes serious lose to the poultry industry, worldwide. Previous attempts using purified bacterially expressed IBDV VP2 failed to elicit a protective immune response to the virus. This study was designed to investigate if the initial expressed protein contained neutralizing epitopes but became nonfunctional during purification st...

To detect the presence of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in infected allantoic fluid (AF) of SPF embryonated eggs rapid hemagglutination (HA) activity after treatment with neuraminidase enzyme was used. Twenty IBV suspected materials were inoculated in SPF embryonated eggs via chorioallantoic cavity. Harvested AFs were treated with neuraminidase enzyme and the presence of IBV was detected by...

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in turkeys may result in immunosuppression, and inability of turkeys to resist nonpathogenic or less pathogenic organisms. A total number of 120 day-old commercial male turkeys were purchased and blood samples were collected from 20 day-old turkeys, remaining 100 were divided into four equal groups and kept in separated rooms. Groups 1 and 2 were infected ...

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. The expression of heterologous proteins in P.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. In this study, VP2 encoding gene of classical D78 IBDV was amplified using reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pPICZαA vector...
