Production of cattle immunotolerant to bovine viral diarrhea virus.

Inoculation of bovine virus diarrhea virus into 58 to 125 day old fetuses of bovine virus diarrhea virus seropositive pregnant cows, or inoculation of bovine virus diarrhea virus into seronegative cows 42 to 114 days pregnant, may produce clinically normal calves which are persistently infected with the specific isolate of bovine virus diarrhea virus yet seronegative to the homologous and heterologous isolates. Reinoculation of these persistently infected cattle with their homologous isolate produced no neutralizing antibody response to bovine virus diarrhea virus. These persistently infected cattle were immunocompetent as they developed neutralizing serotiters to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, parainfluenza-3 viruses and agglutinating serotiters to Pasteurella hemolytica .

Effects of incubation temperatures and bovine viral diarrhea virus immune serum on bovine turbinate cells persistently infected with a noncytopathogenic isolate of bovine viral diarrhea virus

Noncytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) on initial inoculation in receptive cells induced a persistence in vitro at incubation temperatures of 33, 37, and 39 C. The mechanisms of this persistence were not the result of the induction of defective interfering particles or the selection of temperature-sensitive mutants, but were the result of a naturally occurring noncytopathogenic isolate of BVDV. Persistently infected cells were not freed of the infection by continuous passage in media containing homologous antibody. Persistently infected cells appeared to undergo an earlier senescence than did noninoculated cells of the same passage level and age. This phenomenon was reversed by renewal of the culture media.     

Glycoalkaloid content inSolanum species and hybrids from a breeding program for resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans)

As part of an effort to study the relationship between the “glycoalkaloid trait” and genetic resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans), glycoalkaloid content in tuber and foliar tissues from a wide genetic background withinSolanum, includingS. demissum, S. iopetalum and 15 hybrids selected from a backcrossing breeding scheme was determined. Analysis of variance indicated significant genotypic effect on total glycoalkaloid, solanidine, α-solanine, and α-chaconine content in both tubers and leaves. Tubers from wild potato species commonly contain glycoalkaloids in concentrations that exceed international health regulations for human consumption (20 mg/100 g fresh weight). In this study,S. demissum andS. iopetalum were highest in total tuber glycoalkaloids among all materials tested, with 70.4 and 76.2 mg/100 g fresh weight, respectively. In contrast, both commercial cultivars had the lowest concentration, both below the safety limit. Solanine was more abundant than chaconine in all but one genotype. All hybrids were intermediate to low in total glycoalkaloids. Except for the two wild species, glycoalkaloid concentration in leaves of all genotypes studied was at least twice that in tubers, with glycosylated forms accounting for more than 80% total glycoalkaloid content. Correlation between tuber and foliage alkaloids was poor. In view of the observed field resistance to late blight, it was concluded that tuber glycoalkaloid content may not be responsible for such resistance.     

利用10B示踪法研究栗钙土中硼肥的生物效应(简报)

硼对植物营养生理的作用,不仅能使植物细胞壁坚韧与木质化,促进与增强植物的抗逆性(抗旱性与抗寒性),而且能促进植物根系发育及糖在体内的运输等。但是有关硼肥营养机理的研究报道较少,尤其是利用~(10)B 示踪研究植物硼肥营养及其在土壤中的转化,更是罕见。为此,我们应用~(10)B 研究了球茎甘蓝在栗钙土上对硼肥的吸收利用,为栗钙土的硼肥使

对将军和普那2个菊苣（Cichorium intybus）品种在贵州盘县3个试验点进行品比试验,分别对物候期、产草量及营养成分等进行观察测定。结果表明,2个菊苣品种在盘县高海拔地区能完成整个生育周期,利用时间长,越冬率和越夏率在75%以上,抗病虫害强;品种将军的产草量高于品种普那,其中鲜草产量比普那高14.99%,干草产量比普那高19.26%;营养价值方面将军表现也优于普那。试验得出,品种将军较适合在贵州盘县地区推广利用。     

Frequency of persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus infection in selected cattle herds

Sera and blood buffy coat samples were obtained from 3,157 cattle in 66 selected herds. Antibodies to bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus were detected in 89% of the serum samples by immunoprecipitation or virus-neutralization tests. Cytopathic or noncytopathic BVD viruses were isolated from blood buffy coat samples from 60 cattle in 6 herds. A second blood buffy coat sample was obtained from 54 of the 60 cattle 2 months after the initial sampling, and BVD virus was isolated again from each cow. The 54 cattle were considered persistently infected with BVD virus. The frequency of persistent infection was 1.7%.     

Isoelectric focusing of infectious particles of porcine pseudorabies virus strains in granulated dextran gels.

Isoelectric focusing of infectious particles of four strains of porcine pseudorabies viruses (Indiana, Iowa, Shope and an avirulent live-virus vaccine strains) are described. The pseudorabies virus strains exhibited great mobility in the electric field typical of viruses of the herpes group. Strains were considered electrophoretically homogeneous based on their respective isoelectric points. Maximal virus infectivity was concentrated in reproducible, stationary zones representing 73 to 86% of the total virus infectivity initially applied throughout the gels. All pseudorabies virus strains during processing and after isoelectric focusing retained their ability as whole complete particles to typically infect porcine kidney cell cultures. Virus from gel fractions produces foci in cell cultures that specifically reacted with pseudorabies virus fluorescent antibody conjugate. Prevention of foci could be demonstrated by neutralizing with pseudorabies virus monospecific antiserum. Maximal infectivity titers were demonstrated to be directly related to isoelectric points. Strain differences, in relation to virulence in swine, apparently is not related to isoelectric points.
