Neutralizing activity in isolated serum antibody fractions from visna-infected sheep.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neutralization technique was used to detect specific antibodies against visna virus in isolated immunoglobulin (Ig) G(1), IgG(2), and IgM fractions of visna-infected sheep serum. The neutralizing antibodies were present chiefly in the IgG(1) class. Low amount of activity was demonstrated in the IgM class, but no significant activity was seen in the IgG(2) class.

Antibodies produced by rabbits immunized with visna virus.
Immunization of New Zealand White rabbits with purified visna virus elicited antibody activity demonstrated by passive hemagglutination (PHA), complement fixation (CF), and indirect immunofluorescent tests. The antibody activities of hyperimmune sera and Sephadex G-200 fractions of the sera were studied. It was found that the PHA test was 10 to 100 times more sensitive than the CF test in detec...
متن کاملExperimental visna in Icelandic sheep: the prototype lentiviral infection.
A brief review of experimental infection of Icelandic sheep following intracerebral inoculation of neurotropic strains of visna virus is presented. In vivo replication of the virus is restricted, so that some cells carry the deoxyribonucleic acid provirus as an unexpressed genome. This cellular restriction plays a major role in the slow progression of the infection, abetted by neutralizing anti...
متن کاملVaccination delays maedi-visna lentivirus infection in a naturally-infected sheep flock
BACKGROUND The Maedi-Visna (MV) lentivirus causes two slowly progressive eventually fatal diseases of sheep, Maedi, a progressive interstitial pneumonia, and Visna, a progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Other lentiviruses also cause fatal slow infections in their natural hosts, e.g. the HIV virus in humans. Results of experimental vaccination against any lentivirus ...

Viral infections cause important problems and significant economic loses in sheep and goats that can be protected by an investigation of infections. This study aimed to determine the sheep and goat viral infections including bluetongue virus (BTV), maedivisna virus (MVV) and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) in Kirikkale city located in Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Blood samples...
متن کامل[Oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in the experimental interstitial lung disease induced in sheep by visna-maedi virus].
Infection of sheep by visna-maedi virus causes an interstitial pneumonitis similar to that associated with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). Visna-maedi virus infection of alveolar macrophages leads to their activation. In this study we determined whether an imbalance in oxidant-antioxidant activity may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. We investigated the spontaneous a...
