    Notes: Summary Experimental infection with HVJ (haemagglutinating virus of Japan—the Sendai strain of parainfluenza 1 virus) in mice was studied. Aerosol infection of newborn mice with the wild-type virus (HVJ-W) retarded the development of body weight and killed the animals within a few weeks. Large amounts of virus were isolated from both the lungs and the nasal turbinates of infected mice. In contrast, newborn mice exposed by inhalation to a temperature-sensitive(ts) mutant (HVJ-pB) derived from an HVJ carrier culture showed no clinical signs and grew equally well as mock-infected animals. No infectious virus could be recovered from the lungs although thets mutant grew to moderate titre in the nasal turbinates. The prior inoculation of newborn mice with thets mutant virus induced a state of significant resistance to subsequent challenge with the virulent wild-type virus. No replication of challenge virus in both lungs and nasal turbinates could be detected and the animals were protected a lethal infection. It is suggested that an avirulent temperature-sensitive mutant which has lost the capacity to replicate in the lower respiratory tract but is still capable of multiplying in the nasal turbinates may be a promising candidate for use in live vaccines especially against the infectious disease of the lower respiratory tract.

    Notes: Summary The individual structural polypeptides of HVJ (haemagglutinating virus of Japan—the Sendai strain of parainfluenza 1 virus) were examined by tryptic peptide analysis. [3H]-methionine-labelled structural proteins of the wild-type virus of HVJ (HVJ-W) and [35S]-methionine-labelled corresponding constituent proteins of a temperature-sensitive(ts) mutant (HVJ-pB) derived from an HVJ carrier culture were compared by ion-exchange chromatography on columns of P-type chromobeads. The tryptic peptides of the individual structural proteins showed characteristic elution profiles. In all the structural proteins tested, the chromatographic elution profiles of both strains generally showed a close resemblance. However, certain minor peaks which were present in one strain but absent in the other strain were detected in the preparations of the P, HN, and F polypeptides. Further, analysis of the NP polypeptide showed that a major peak of one strain appeared at a position in the pH gradient different from a seemingly corresponding major peak of the other strain. In the M protein some possibly homologous minor peaks were found to differ between the two strains.

    Notes: Summary Surface antigens of HeLaHVJ cells, a cell line persistently infected with HVJ, were studied by fluorescent antibody staining. After absorption with concentrated HVJ virions and HeLa cells, anti-HeLaHVJ antiserum was able to demonstrate specific surface fluorescence on HeLaHVJ cells, while this serum no longer reacted with original HeLa cells nor with HVJ virions. During cytolytic infection of HeLa cells with HVJ, this specific surface antigen appeared at an early stage of infection prior to the appearance of newly synthesized HVJ viral antigens and moreover appeared in spite of the inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This antigen was detected neither on HeLa cells infected with other myxoviruses except HVJ nor on various other kinds of cells infected with HVJ. The specific surface antigen was still found on the HeLaHVJ cell surface after incubation at 38° C for two days, while HVJ structural antigens on the cell surface no longer could be detected. Mild short-term treatment of HeLa cells with trypsin, neuraminidase fromvibrio cholerae, phospholipase-C and hyaluronidase failed to expose specific antigen. The antigen was distinguishable from the Forssman and human blood type antigens. The mechanism of appearance of a new antigen on the surface of HeLaHVJ cells remains unclear.

    Notes: Summary The intracellular synthesis of virus-specific polypeptides in cells infected with the wild-type virus of HVJ (HVJ-W) (haemagglutinating virus of Japan—the Sendai strain of parainfluenza 1 virus) and with a temperature-sensitive(ts) mutant (HVJ-pB) derived from an HVJ carrier culture has been analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At the permissive temperature (32° C), all of the known virus structural polypeptides were identified in cells infected with each strain of virus and in addition to the non-structural polypeptides B and C, another polypeptide at the region with a molecular weight of 26,000 to 27,000 (26 to 27K) could be detected in infected cells. At the non-permissive temperature (38° C), the synthesis of the polypeptide M was markedly restrained in cells infected with HVJ-pB, while other major virus polypeptides were present in approximately comparable amounts to cells infected with the wild-type virus. A non-structural polypeptide with a molecular weight of 105K was dominant ints mutant infected cells at higher temperatures and disappeared after temperature-shift from 38° to 32° C. The production of the non-structural polypeptides B and 27K was also temperature-sensitive. The molecular weights of the polypeptides B, M and 27K in HVJ-pB infected cells were larger than those of the corresponding polypeptides in HVJ-W infected cells. The synthesis of the M protein in HVJ-pB infected cells started just after lowering the incubation temperature and the newly made M protein was successfully incorporated into virus particles.

    Notes: Summary The processing of virus polypeptides synthesized in cells infected with HVJ (haemagglutinating virus of Japan—the Sendai strain of parainfluenza 1 virus) was studied. Maturation of a temperature-sensitive(ts) mutant (HVJ-pB) derived from an HVJ carrier culture was inhibited at 38° C incubation. A considerable amount of viral components were made at the restrictive temperature. They were, with the exception of the polypeptide HN, well preserved without a great loss of their function and successfully incorporated into virus particles released after lowering the incubation temperature. The membrane (M) protein seems to be essential for virus morphogenesis.
