    Notes: The p24 protein is the major core protein of LAV/HTLV III which is the putative agent of the lymphadenopathy syndrome. By the use of an anti-p24 monoclonal antibody we have studied the presence of LAV/HTLV III infected cells in 20 lymph nodes obtained from lymphadenopathy syndrome patients: 14 lymph nodes were characterized by prominent follicular hyperplasia consistent with the early phase of the syndrome and six lymph nodes presented marked regressive changes. Cells positive for p24 were detected in 8/14 lymph nodes with hyperplastic changes and in 1/6 lymph nodes with regressive changes. Positive cells were most often located in germinal centres and were mainly characterized by a lymphoid morphology. However, immunoreactivity for p24 protein was also occasionally observed in some histiocytic-like cells and in high endothelial cells of post-capillary venules, suggesting that these ‘accessory cells’ also play a role in the early phases of the lymphadenopathy syndrome.

    Notes: Abstract The results of Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) antibody determinations carried on 566 HBsAg positive serum samples from a population of 5270 Ethiopian military recruits are reported. The prevalence of anti-HDV among apparently healthy HBsAg carriers was 5.8%. The prevalence increases with age within the available range (18–30 years). Differences might exist by area of origin and ethnic groups. The distributions of HBV markers was similar in anti HDV positive and anti HDV negative individuals, possibly due to the relatively young age of the population and/or the hyperendemic condition of the area.

    Notes: Summary The replication of Friend Leukemia virus (FLV) has been investigated in adhesive clones (FF) of Friend Leukemia cells which were selected via cultivation on top of human fibroblast monolayers. In these adhesive clones a shut-down of FLV production is observed under conditions of culture confluency; this finding is not due either to a reduced number of cell divisions nor to a defective expression of FLV genome as assessed by Northern blot and immunofluorescence studies. Ultrastructural studies showed that virus budding and release into the medium is not detectable under these conditions. Conversely, in confluent FF cell monolayers abundant imperfect type-A enveloped particles were visible, possibly originating from stacks of granular endoplasmic reticulum with thickened membranes. It is postulated that the reduced virus production in adhesive FF monolayers is due to as yet undetermined events taking place during virus maturation at a time coincident with that of cell-cell adhesion under conditions of culture confluency.

    Notes: Summary The pattern of Interferon (IFN) production in virus-infected cells has been compared with the rate of bulk cellular protein synthesis, on one hand, and with the synthesis of representative cell and virus proteins such as actin, the γ and the NP proteins of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) and Newcastle Disease (NDV) viruses, on the other hand. This was investigated under conditions of impaired protein synthesis such as i) high osmolarity media, ii) a virus-induced shut-off, and iii) in cells exposed to relatively low doses of cycloheximide (CXM), which slow elongation of protein chain and thus favour the translation of low-affinity messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In each instance IFN production was compared with35S-methionine incorporation into TCA-precipitable materials and into SDS-polyacrylamide gel-analysed proteins. Data obtained from each of the experimental approachesall indicate that IFN production and cellular protein synthesis are modified in a closely related fashion suggesting that their mRNAs share a similar degree of affinity for ribosomes. Conversely, two mRNAs coding for representative EMC and NDV virus proteins exhibit, respectively, the highest and the lowest affinity for ribosomes as compared to actin mRNA.

    Notes: Summary Infection of L929 murine cells with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) results in inhibition of host protein synthesis and appearance of membrane alterations at a time when cells are still actively engaged in viral protein synthesis. VSV temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants have been used to explore the role(s) played by the virus-coded proteins in the genesis of these effects. Cells were infected with each of fivets mutants representing the known complementation groups of VSV Indiana serotype, and incubated at permissive (32 °C) and non-permissive temperatures (39 °C). Protein synthesis in the presence and absence of Hygromycin B (Hyg.B) was analyzed during virus infection via incorporation of35S-methionine in acid-precipitable material and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Data indicate that mutants belonging to groups I (L protein), II (NS protein) and IV (N protein) do not inhibit host protein synthesis and do not induce any membrane changes when grown at the non-permissive temperature. Mutants of group III (M protein) and V (G protein), instead, do inhibit cell protein synthesis and induce membrane changes also when grown at the non-permissive temperature; this suggests that these effects do not correlate with the biological activity of these proteins and their interaction with the cellular membrane. On the other hand, mutants exhibiting defective steps of nucleocapsid replication are apparently unable to induce these effects once more suggesting that virus replication per se is essential, as also indirectly shown by experiments employing cycloheximide to mimic shut-off.

    Notes: Abstract Data on the distribution of HBV-DNA and other serological markers of hepatitis B virus infection in a population of asymptomatic carriers in Ethiopia are reported. As compared to data from other countries of similar or lower levels of endemicity, it has been found that HBV-DNA prevalence and its correlation with HBeAg/anti-HBe status is similar to that of northern Europe. HBV-DNA is present in 84% of HBe Ag-positive sera but in only 4% of anti-HBe-positive sera, where the lowest concentration of DNA (less than 5 pgr/20 µl) was found. The trend of increasing prevalence of serological markers with age seems to indicate a considerable horizontal transmission still present in this age range (18–30). In keeping with data of other authors a 3% of HBV-DNA positivity in anti HBc only positive sera was found. No regional or ethnical differences of HBV-DNA positive sera across the country were observed. There is also no evidence of any correlation between HBV-DNA prevalence and HBsAg subtypes ad and ay.

    Notes: Exposure of a number of murine and human cell lines to low graded doses of cycloheximide (CXM) results in a pattern of protein synthesis consisting of enhanced and induced species. These can be divided into two main classes according to molecular weight (20-40 and 70-120 Kd), similar to what has been described for other agents that modify the physiological conditions of growth. In addition, the pronounced synthesis of a hitherto unreported 50-Kd protein species has been consistently observed in all lines tested. Simultaneous exposure of cells to CXM and actinomycin D results in suppressing synthesis of some but not all protein species observed, indicating that control mechanisms at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels may be operative in this system.
