Inactivation of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus by y-Radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
Exposure of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (at -70 C) to 6 x 106 r y-radiation (6WCo) resulted in loss of lethality for young adult mice and guinea pigs, and loss of capacity to produce plaques or cyLopathic effects in tissue culture. The suckling mouse was more sensitive for detecting live virus in radiated suspensions than was the adult mouse or guinea pig. Live virus was demonstrable in preparations exposed to 6 X 106 r but not in suspensions exposed to 8 X 106 r and more. The rate of inactivation of VEE virus by 7-radiation was an exponential function of the dosage.

Exposure of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (at -70 C) to 6 x 10 r gamma-radiation (Co) resulted in loss of lethality for young adult mice and guinea pigs, and loss of capacity to produce plaques or cytopathic effects in tissue culture. The suckling mouse was more sensitive for detecting live virus in radiated suspensions than was the adult mouse or guinea pig. Live virus was de...
متن کاملNonviable Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis hemagglutinin prepared from tissue cultures by gamma radiation.
Hemagglutinins of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus were produced in tissue cultures, and the infective virus was rendered nonviable by exposure to gamma radiation.
متن کاملPurification, concentration, and inactivation of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.
Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus was purified and concentrated by chromatography of tissue culture supernatant fluids on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose columns. Stepwise gradient elution studies indicated a broad elution pattern for the virus, with recovery occurring from 0.05 to 0.7 m NaCl. Optical density, infectivity, hemagglutination (HA), and complement fixation (CF) assays indicate...
متن کاملInactivated Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis vaccine prepared from attenuated (TC-83 strain) virus.
Formalin-inactivated Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis vaccine was prepared from virus propagated in rolling-bottle cultures of chicken embryo cells. The attenuated, TC-83 strain of virus was propagated in these cultures with a maintenance medium consisting of serum-free medium 199 containing 0.25% human serum albumin and antibiotics. By adjustment of maintenance medium volume (100 to 300 ml)...
