virus rescue Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
In my article I tried to present the results of early experiments suggesting a significant role for cell association in Rous sarcoma virus transformation of non-permissive cells and revealing that infectious virus can be efficiently rescued from such cells by their fusion with permissive chicken fibroblasts.

UNLABELLED: Transformation of rodent cells with avian Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) opened new ways to studying virus integration and expression in nonpermissive cells. We were interested in (i) the molecular changes accompanying fusion of RSV-transformed mammalian cells with avian cells leading to virus rescue and (ii) enhancement of this process by retroviral gene products. The RSV-transformed hamster RSCh cell line was characterized as producing only a marginal amount of env mRNA, no envelope glycoprotein, and a small amount of unprocessed Gag protein. Egress of viral unspliced genomic RNA from the nucleus was hampered, and its stability decreased. Cell fusion of the chicken DF-1 cell line with RSCh cells led to production of env mRNA, envelope glycoprotein, and processed Gag and virus-like particle formation. Proteosynthesis inhibition in DF-1 cells suppressed steps leading to virus rescue. Furthermore, new aberrantly spliced env mRNA species were found in the RSCh cells. Finally, we demonstrated that virus rescue efficiency can be significantly increased by complementation with the env gene and the highly expressed gag gene and can be increased the most by a helper virus infection. In summary, Env and Gag synthesis is increased after RSV-transformed hamster cell fusion with chicken fibroblasts, and both proteins provided in trans enhance RSV rescue. We conclude that the chicken fibroblast yields some factor(s) needed for RSV replication, particularly Env and Gag synthesis, in nonpermissive rodent cells. IMPORTANCE: One of the important issues in retrovirus heterotransmission is related to cellular factors that prevent virus replication. Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), a member of the avian sarcoma and leukosis family of retroviruses, is able to infect and transform mammalian cells; however, such transformed cells do not produce infectious virus particles. Using the well-defined model of RSV-transformed rodent cells, we established that the lack of virus replication is due to the absence of chicken factor(s), which can be supplemented by cell fusion. Cell fusion with permissive chicken cells led to an increase in RNA splicing and nuclear export of specific viral mRNAs, as well as synthesis of respective viral proteins and production of virus-like particles. RSV rescue by cell fusion can be potentiated by in trans expression of viral genes in chicken cells. We conclude that rodent cells lack some chicken factor(s) required for proper viral RNA processing and viral protein synthesis.

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus associated with fatal disease in progressively infected cats. While testing/removal and vaccination led to a decreased prevalence of FeLV, recently, this decrease has reportedly stagnated in some countries. This study aimed to prospectively determine the prevalence of FeLV viraemia in cats taken to veterinary facilities in 32 European countries. FeLV viral RNA was semiquantitatively detected in saliva, using RT-qPCR as a measure of viraemia. Risk and protective factors were assessed using an online questionnaire to report geographic, demographic, husbandry, FeLV vaccination, and clinical data. The overall prevalence of FeLV viraemia in cats visiting a veterinary facility, of which 10.4% were shelter and rescue cats, was 2.3% (141/6005; 95% CI: 2.0%-2.8%) with the highest prevalences in Portugal, Hungary, and Italy/Malta (5.7%-8.8%). Using multivariate analysis, seven risk factors (Southern Europe, male intact, 1-6 years of age, indoor and outdoor or outdoor-only living, living in a group of ≥5 cats, illness), and three protective factors (Northern Europe, Western Europe, pedigree cats) were identified. Using classification and regression tree (CART) analysis, the origin of cats in Europe, pedigree, and access to outdoors were important predictors of FeLV status. FeLV-infected sick cats shed more viral RNA than FeLV-infected healthy cats, and they suffered more frequently from anaemia, anorexia, and gingivitis/stomatitis than uninfected sick cats. Most cats had never been FeLV-vaccinated; vaccination rates were indirectly associated with the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. In conclusion, we identified countries where FeLV was undetectable, demonstrating that the infection can be eradicated and highlighting those regions where awareness and prevention should be increased.

Among the many diseases compromising the well-being of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) the chronic paralysis syndrome of adult honey bees is one of the best described. The causative agent, chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), is a positive sense, single-stranded RNA virus with a segmented genome. Segment 1 encodes three putative open reading frames (ORFs), including the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and other non-structural protein coding regions. Segment 2 encodes four putative ORFs, which contain the genes of supposed structural proteins. In this study, we established a reverse genetic system for CBPV by molecular cloning of DNA copies of both genome segments. CBPV rescue was studied in imago and honey bee pupae infection models. Virus replication and progeny virus production was only initiated when capped RNAs of both genome segments were injected in honey bees. As injection of these clonal RNAs caused clinical symptoms similar to wild-type CBPV infection, we conclude that the novel molecular clone fulfilled Koch's postulates. Our virus clone will enable in-depth analysis of CBPV pathogenesis and help to increase knowledge about this important honey bee disease.
