The structural components of hog cholera virus.

چکیده
Hog cholera virus grown in PK-15 cells and SK-cells was labeled with [35S]methionine and [3H]uridine. At least 3 polypeptides were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after disruption of the virus with sodium dodecyl-sulfate. The molecular weights of the structural proteins were determined to be 55000 (p55), 46000 (gp46), and 36000 (p36). The molecular weight of the viral RNA was determined to be about 4 X 10(6) in polyacrylamide-agarose-gel electrophoresis. In sucrose gradients the RNA has a S20,w value of 40-45S.

Hog cholera virus: art and facts.
The aim of this review is to summarize the informations accumulated during the two last decades on hog cholera virus, a member of the pestivirus genus. Different aspects concerning the virus-host cell interactions, and the structural and antigenic properties of the virion itself are successively analyzed. Despite numerous works, many basic informations are still lacking, which can be explained ...
متن کاملA second envelope glycoprotein mediates neutralization of a pestivirus, hog cholera virus.
Several monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against hog cholera virus (HCV) reacted with the HCV structural glycoprotein gp44/48 and neutralized the virus. The presence of HCV gp44/48 on the viral surface was directly demonstrated by immunogold electron microscopy. Eight anti-HCV gp44/48 MAbs were tested by immunoperoxidase assay against a panel of pestivirus strains. Each MAb showed a distinct...
متن کاملThe Swine Lungworm as a Reservoir and Intermediate Host for Hog Cholera Virus
Evidence that the swine lungworm can serve as reservoir and intermediate host for the hog cholera virus has been presented. The virus, however, is ordinarily carried in a masked form and must be provoked to pathogenicity by some stress before it can cause apparent disease. In the present experiments, ascaris larvae supplied the provocation needed to induce hog cholera in swine carrying lungworm...
متن کاملThe Leech as a Potential Virus Reservoir
Leeches, fed on swine infected with hog cholera, contained virus for as long as 87 days after their infective blood meals. In three instances, infected leeches apparently transmitted hog cholera virus to susceptible swine in the process of normal feeding. Myxoma virus persisted in leeches for as long as 154 days after the ingestion of a blood meal from rabbits with myxomatosis. Leeches fed cons...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-PCR assay for detection of hog cholera virus.
A reverse transcriptase-PCR strategy was developed for the detection of hog cholera virus. Hog cholera virus template was amplified from tissue culture fluids and from tissues and blood of infected pigs, but not from samples containing other pestiviruses. Restriction endonuclease analysis identified samples as historic or recent isolates.
