    Notes: [Auszug] DNA from five independent NK cell lines, HY-1 (rf. 15), HY-3 (rf. 15), NKB61A2 (rf. 16), NKB61B10 (rf. 16) and B ALB/c N K (rf. 17), was examined for rearrangement of the genes coding for the 0-chain of the T-cell receptor. DNA was digested with six restriction enzymes (EcoRI, Pstl, Pvull, Hpal, ...

    Notes: Summary Adult inbred MHA hamsters are susceptible to lethal infections with Pichinde virus while inbred LSH hamsters resist such infections. Previous studies demonstrated higher levels of endogenous and induced natural killer (NK) activity in MHA splenocytes than in LSH splenocytes. Preferential replication of Pichinde virus in cells with NK activity was suggested by showing that the greater numbers of infected spleen cells observed in MHA hamsters could be accounted for by a cell population that cosedimented with a peak of NK activity. Increased cellularity of thymi and spleens as well as increased cells sensitive to lymphokines was also found in MHA hamsters as compared to LSH hamsters. In the present study we found that injection of anti-asialo GM1 serum reduced NK activity but did not alter susceptibility to virus infection. However, MHA hamsters were found to be relatively deficient in the production of interleukin 2 and injection of interleukin 2 altered the mortality of hamsters infected with Pichinde virus. These findings suggest that susceptibility to lethal infection by Pichinde virus is associated with reduced ability to produce interleukin 2 in MHA hamsters.

    Notes: Summary Pichinde virus (PV) infection of mice results in induction of a strong H-2 restricted, virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and rapid clearance of the virus. To define the specificities of CTL induced by PV infection, we constructed vaccinia virus recombinants containing cloned cDNAs corresponding to full-length (VVNP) and a truncated form (VVNP51–561) of the nucleoprotein (NP) gene of PV. Radioimmunoprecipitation analysis of infected cell lysates indicated that VVNP expressed a PV-specific product identical in size to that of authentic NP, while vaccinia virus recombinants containing truncated NP produced a polypeptide consistent with the synthesis of amino acids 51–561 of Pichinde virus NP. Interestingly, cells infected with VVNP synthesized easily detectable, but much lower levels of nucleoprotein relative to both PV and VVNP51–561. Primary virus-specific CTL induced in three different strains of inbred mice following intravenous infection with PV were able to lyse syngeneic target cells infected with PV but did not markedly lyse syngeneic targets expressing full-length or truncated NP following recombinant vaccinia virus infection. Similarly, secondary anti-PV specific CTL generated following in vitro restimulation by PV or selectively restimulated with vaccinia recombinants did not significantly lyse target cells expressing NP. Further, infection of mice with VVNP and VVNP51–561 did not induce CTLs specific for PV and did not prime mice for the generation of memory anti-PV CTL in vivo. These results suggest that PV gene products other than NP, such as the GPC or L protein, contain the major target epitope(s) recognized by PV-specific CTL.

    Notes: Summary Syrian hamsters, strain MHA/Lak, are susceptible to intraperitoneal infection with Pichinde virus and die from an overwhelming viremia. We have studied the ability of a vaccinia-Pichinde recombinant virus expressing amino acids 51-561 of the viral nucleoprotein (VVNP51-561) to protect from lethal Pichinde virus infection. Priming with VVNP51-561 significantly delayed mortality and increased final survival outcome after challenge with 2×103 pfu of Pichinde virus. This protection was not complete compared to priming with Pichinde virus in the footpad, which was not lethal and provided 100% protection. At a higher challenge dose of Pichinde virus, 2×104 pfu, immunization with VVNP51-561 delayed mortality but did not increase final survival. The partial protection correlated with an early but not late reduction in infectious virus in serum, kidney and liver, and infectious centers in the spleen. Thus the immune response generated by VVNP51-561 could initially control the infection, effectively reducing the virus inoculum. As the infection proceeded, virus replication could not be limited resulting in death in some hamsters. The partial protection did not appear to be mediated by anti-viral antibodies since these were not detected in the serum of VVNP56-561-immunized hamsters. This finding appears to support the hypothesis that in many arenavirus infections cellular immunity is central to viral clearance and protection from reinfection.

    Notes: Summary The characteristics of two clinical isolates of HSV-1 obtained from an oral (424) and an anal (490) lesion were compared with the highly passaged KOS strain. In contrast to KOS, the clinical isolates produced small plaques, were more cell-associated and the predominant viral glycoprotein species for gC and gD in infected cell lysates was the precursor, high mannose glycoform. Total virus production in Vero cells was equivalent for the three virus strains in one-step growths. Pulse-chase studies of glycoprotein C processing showed a reduction in rate at 7.5h post infection and a significant block in processing at 10.5h post infection for 424 and 490 but not KOS. Similar results were obtained for gD. The significant reduction in glycoprotein processing for 424 and 490 suggests a block in transport of viral glycoproteins or virions to and through the Golgi apparatus. Extracellular virions and the cell surface, prior to cell lysis, contained the processed gC glycoform suggesting a competent cellular glycan processing system. Upon co-infection of 424 or 490 with KOS or a gC− KOS strain, gC was processed to levels equivalent to KOS indicating that 424 and 490 are not inhibitory but that an activity(s) encoded by KOS facilitates maturation of gC from 424 and 490. Unlike KOS infected Vero cells, virion-containing vacuoles were observed in the cytoplasm at 12h p.i. and extracellular virions were concentrated at cell-cell junctions of 424 or 490 infected cells but not in the perinuclear region. These results suggest that intracellular transport of viral glycoproteins and virions in 424 and 490 infected cells is different from KOS infected cells. The reduced level of viral glycoprotein maturation, virus release, cell surface presence and presence of virions at cell-cell junctions are consistent with small plaque production in tissue culture cells.

    Notes: Summary Fibrinolytic activity was studied in a number of different established as well as secondary human cell cultures derived from both malignant and normal tissues. The ability to degrade [125I]-labeled fibrin was found to be characteristic of some malignant cultures as well as some normal cultures, and to be dependent upon the presence of serum. For the most part, this activity was detected in cultures with a relatively shortin vitro passage history (〈30 passages). Low passaged colon and rectal carcinoma cells, HCT-8 and HRT-18, as well as normal rectal, colon and foreskin fibroblasts were positive for fibrinolytic activity, while long established (〉100 passages) cultures of malignant cells (colon carcinoma, HeLa, Hep-2, KB) as well as normal cells (HEI, AV3) were negative. It is proposed that although some normal cells synthesize plasminogen activators, the fibrinolytic capability of both malignant and normal cells may be lost on prolongedin vitro cultivation.
