چکیده

A technique has been devised for obtaining free or uncombined pneumonia virus of mice (PVM). Free PVM, liberated from infected mouse lungs by means of this technique, is infectious and causes hemagglutination directly. The results of quantitative studies carried out in the high speed angle centrifuge indicate that the free virus is relatively small, with dimensions of the order of 40 millimicrons. When it is in combination with lung tissue particles, PVM appears to be a relatively large virus with minimal dimensions of the order of 140 millimicrons. Non-infectious virus particles, released from combination with lung tissue particles by heating, are similar to the infectious free virus in size.

Studies on Pneumonia Virus of Mice (pvm)

1. The cause for the phenomenon of hemagglutination with heated PVM suspensions has been sought. 2. Evidence in wide variety indicates that the component responsible for hemagglutination is the virus particle itself. 3. The virus is capable of combining with a substance present in lung tissue of certain mammalian host species susceptible to infection by PVM. The occurrence of such combination a...

Of Sulfhyi ) Ryl Groups on Pneumonia Virus of Mice ( Pvm )

The results of previous studies (1, 2) have shown that pneumonia virus of mice (PVM) is very unstable as regards the property of infectiousness but is remarkably stable with respect to its capacity to cause hemagglutination. In the course of studies described in the accompanying paper (3), on the viruscombining component present in the lungs of animal species susceptible to infection with PVM, ...

CD8+ T-cell epitope mapping for pneumonia virus of mice in H-2b mice.

The paramyxovirus pneumonia virus of mice (PVM) is a rodent model of human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) pathogenesis. Here we characterized the PVM-specific CD8(+) T-cell repertoire in susceptible C57BL/6 mice. In total, 15 PVM-specific CD8(+) T-cell epitopes restricted by H-2D(b) and/or H-2K(b) were identified. These data open the door for using widely profiled, genetically manipulated C...

The Effect of Diet on the Susceptibility of the Mouse to Pneumonia Virus of Mice (pvm)

Young mice fed diets deficient in pyridoxine or fed desoxypyridoxine after the inoculation of the pneumonia virus of mice were more resistant to infection than well nourished controls. The susceptibility of young mice to PVM increased with the duration of pyridoxine administration after inoculation. Dietary protein restriction when pyridoxine was provided did not affect the susceptibility of mi...

Further Studies on the Associative Reactions of Pneumonia Virus of Mice (pvm) and Influenza Viruses

Tissue particles from a wide variety of animal tissues possess the capacity to combine with PVM. Various adsorbents also combine with the virus. Elution of PVM from combination with either tissue particles or adsorbents can be achieved by appropriately altering the ionic environment. Influenza viruses also are adsorbed on and eluted from adsorbents under similar conditions. Reasons are presente...
