Persistence of neurotropic JC virus DNA in hamster tissues six months after intracerebral inoculation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immunostaining and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods were used to examine tissues from 18 6-month-old hamsters intracerebrally inoculated with JC virus (JCV) as newborns. JCV DNA was detected in all hamster brains and urinary bladders, as well as in most kidney, adrenal gland and pancreas samples. While results from reverse transcription PCR (RNA PCR) and immunostaining suggest that T antigen transcription and protein expression were restricted to the brain, the DNA suggests that intracerebrally inoculated JCV enters the systemic circulation and latently infects organs in a tissue specific manner.

Studies on Neurotropic Rift Valley Fever Virus:
The neurotropic strain of Rift Valley fever virus produces encephalitis when inoculated intracerebrally in lambs. Subcutaneous inoculation into sheep and lambs does not cause illness. Immunity against the pantropic strain follows the subcutaneous injection of neurotropic virus in sheep and lambs. Two species of monkey, Macaca mulatta, the rhesus monkey, and M. irus, the crab-eating macacque, ar...
متن کاملAge dependence of viral expression: comparative pathogenesis of two rodent-adapted strains of measles virus in mice.
The pathogenesis of two rodent-adapted strains of measles virus was studied in 1- to 2-day-old suckling and 4-week-old weanling BALB/c mice. Both the mouse-adapted Edmonston (MAEd) strain and the hamster-neurotropic (HNT) strain caused necrotizing giant-cell encephalitis with a 90 to 100% mortality after intracerebral inoculation into suckling mice. After intracerebral inoculation into weanling...
متن کاملPapovaviruses and human tumors.
Papovaviruses contain the two subgroups "polyomaviruses" and "papillomaviruses" (reviewed in [20]). Members of both subgroups are clearly oncogenic, most notably the papillomaviruses, which induce papillomas within their natural hosts (see review 1241). Viruses of both subgroups can be distinguished morphologically, biochemically, and biologically. The polyomaviruses are nonenveloped, eicosaedr...

Since, the most susceptible laboratory animal to Foot–and–Mouth disease virus (FMDV) is guinea pig, and then one milliliter of FMDV type (O) concentrations of 106-106.5 TCID50was inoculated intradermally (ID) to 10 plantar surface of guinea pig (right side). Guinea pig adapted virus has been prepared after generalization phase, and then one milliliter of virus was inoculated intradermally to 30...

A new agent, DA, has been isolated from a spontaneously paralyzed mouse. Its biological properties and the pathology of lesions in experimental infection indicate close relationship with the Theiler group of encephalomyelitis viruses. Serological studies were inconclusive. The intracerebral neutralization test failed to reveal measurable antibody and other routes of inoculation were unsuitable ...
