    Notes: Summary.  To understand the mode of transmission of Seoul type hantavirus in Wistar rats, we examined the shedding of the virus and antibody production in infected rats. When 1-day-old rats were inoculated with the KI-83-262 strain of Seoul virus, S segment of the viral genome was detected in lungs, clots, urine, saliva, submaxillary glands, rectums, and kidneys by nested reverse transcriptase PCR. On the other hand, when 8-week-old rats were infected with the virus, viral genome was detected only in the lungs and rectum. In newborn rats intranasally administered urine from infected newborn rats, four of six rats shed the virus into their urine. In addition, three of eight rats kept in the same cage with infected animals also shed the virus into urine. Moreover, the virus genome was detected in the urine of urban rats (Rattus norvegicus) in an enzootic focus. These findings suggest that the urine containing virus from infected † rats is an actual source of the Seoul virus infection.

    Notes: Summary.  Neutralizing monoclonal antibody (MAb) escape mutants of Hantaan virus were generated using MAbs to envelope protein G1 (16D2) and G2 (11E10). The mutant viruses (mu16D2 and mu11E10), lacked reactivity only to the selecting MAb, or a MAb belonging to the same antigenic site. Both mutants had a single amino acid (a.a.) substitution. The a.a. substitution, found in mu16D2, was different from that found in another mutant selected with the same MAb (16D2). Although MAb 11E10 immunoprecipitated G2 protein, a deduced a.a. substitution was located in the G1 region. These results suggest that antigenic sites defined by neutralizing MAbs are composed of discontinuous epitopes over the G1 and G2 proteins. Mutant 11E10 showed a significant decrease in virulence in suckling mice. A virulence revertant of mu11E10, selected through passages in suckling mice brain, showed exactly the same deduced a.a. sequence as mu11E10 and still was not neutralized by MAb 11E10. Since mutant 16D2 was virulent for suckling mice, neutralization related epitopes found with MAbs 11E10 and 16D2 were independent of pathogenicity in BALB/c mice.

    Notes: Summary.  Ribavirin at concentrations from 1 to 10 μg/ml exihibited inhibitory effects on transcription of Borna disease virus (BDV) in persistently infected cells. Our present study indicates that ribavirin is a candidate anti-BDV drug.
