چکیده

Hemagglutinating and complement-fixing antigens of La Crosse virus (California arbovirus group) were produced in serum-free suspension cultures of BHK-21/13S cells. The appearance and production of these antigens were correlated with the titer of infectious virus. No significant differences in antigen titers were produced by varying virus dose 10-fold. Hemagglutinin appeared 6 to 8 hr after inoculation and reached peak titer in 14 to 22 hr. Both beta-propiolactone and Tween 80-ether treatment inactivated infectious virus in the antigens. Unlyophilized antigen was stable at -60, 5 and 24 C for at least 117 days but not for 1 year. Lyophilized antigen was stable for at least a year, however, at -20 and 5 C. Cell culture-produced antigen was more sensitive than brain-produced antigen in detecting hemagglutination inhibition antibody in human sera.

La Crosse virus soluble cell culture antigen.

A virus-free soluble antigen, obtained by ammonium sulfate precipitation of the supernatant fluids of La Crosse virus-infected BHK-21 cell cultures, was more reactive and more specific than infected suckling mouse brain antigen when compared by immunodiffusion and counterelectrophoresis tests. By complement fixation tests, the antigen was cross-reactive with heterologous California group arbovi...

Rubella virus: continuous and concurrent production of complement-fixing antigen and infectious virus in suspension cultures.

Rubella complement-fixing (CF) antigen and infectious virus were produced continuously and concurrently for as long as 63 days in suspension cultures of BHK-21 cells prepared from uncloned monolayer stock cultures. CF titers ranged from 1:4 to 1:32, and the peak infectivity titer was greater than 8.0 (TCID(50) log(10)) per ml. Suspension cultures could be recultivated after prolonged storage in...

The translational requirement for complete La Crosse virus mRNA synthesis is cell-type dependent.

The translational requirement to prevent premature termination during La Crosse virus S mRNA synthesis was found to be cell-type dependent. This requirement was present in the BHK, HEL, and Vero cell lines we examined, but not in C6/36 mosquito cells. The cell-dependent translational requirement could be reproduced in vitro by using either cell extracts or purified virions of BHK and C6/36 cell...

Quantitative analysis of La Crosse virus transcription and replication in cell cultures and mosquitoes.

La Crosse (LAC) virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus) small (S) segment negative-sense RNA genome (vRNA), positive-sense full-length RNA complement (vcRNA), and subgenomic mRNA were assayed in infected cell cultures and female Aedes (Ochlerotatus) triseriatus mosquito tissues using quantitative PCR (Q-PCR). During persistent infection of C6/36 (Aedes albopictus) and MAT (Aedes tris...
