Virus Proliferation in Hypoxic Mice and Chick Embryos
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virus proliferation in hypoxic animals was markedly reduced. Little difference in this respect between influenza virus (PR8) and mouse encephalomyelitis virus (Theiler's GD VII) was observed except that there was a longer depression of the latter virus. The possible mechanisms involved are discussed.

Titration of Influenza Virus in Chick Embryos
A study was made to establish the reproducibility of end points obtained in the titration of influenza viruses in chick embryos. Six tests were performed, each composed of five replicate titrations of a purified preparation of the PR8 strain of influenza virus. The data from these titrations were subjected to statistical analysis which revealed that the chances are 19 out of 20 that differences...
متن کاملHypoxic incubation leads to concerted changes of carbonic anhydrase activity and 2.3 DPG concentration of chick embryo red cells.
Red cell carbonic anhydrase activity, 2.3 DPG concentration, and activities of three key enzymes controlling DPG metabolism (PK, PFK and DPGM) were measured in normoxic and hypoxic (incubation in 13.5% O2) chick embryos. In normoxia 2.3 DPG concentration and carbonic anhydrase activity begin to increase by the third week of incubation. Hypoxia induces a rise of 2.3 DPG concentration and carboni...
متن کاملApparent multiplication of the Lansing poliomyelitis virus in cortisone treated chick embryos.
Cortisone has been found by Schwartzman (Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med., 75, 835, 1950) and by Kilbourne and Horsfail (Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med., 76, 116, 1951) to increase the susceptibility of the host to certain viruses. Studies were undertaken therefore to determine whether the administration of cortisone might render chick embryos susceptible to infection with the Lansing strain of poliom...
متن کاملEffect of Sodium Monofluoroacetate on the Multiplication of Influenza Viruses, Mumps Virus, and Pneumonia Virus of Mice (pvm)
Sodium fluoroacetate, given after virus inoculation in doses of 3 to 4 mg. per kg. in mice or 2 mg. in chick embryos, caused only a slight delay in the multiplication of the PR8 strain of influenza A virus in the mouse lung and of PR8 or the Lee strain of influenza B virus in the allantoic sac. The quantities of the compound used were sufficient to cause approximately 10 to 20 per cent mortalit...
متن کاملThe Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos
During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...
