Effects of two adenoviruses (type 1 and type 8) on functional properties of bovine alveolar macrophages in vitro
1992
Adair, B.M. | McNulty, M.S. | Foster, J.C.
Cultures of bovine alveolar macrophages were inoculated with type-1 and type-8 adenoviruses, initially isolated from calves with respiratory tract disease, and functional properties of the cells were observed over a period of 10 to 11 days. Both viruses replicated in macrophages; viral titers were low (< 3.75 log10 TCID50/0.1 ml), and intranuclear inclusions were detected by indirect immunofluorescence in 5 to 10% of the cells from 3 days after inoculation. Highest titers were induced by type-1 adenovirus, which also induced the greatest functional changes. Expression of Fc and complement receptors was reduced by both viruses, although the greatest effects were seen with type 1. Phagocytosis of Candida krusei cells was reduced following type 1 infection, whereas phagocytosis in type-8-infected cells was not different from that of noninfected macrophages. Ability to kill ingested Candida cells also was reduced following type-1 infection, whereas type-8-infected macrophages had lower killing ability only at 2 to 4 days after inoculation. Neither virus had substantial effects on the production of neutrophil chemotactic factors by the macrophages.

1992
York, I.A. | Thorsen, J.
The hexon subunit of bovine adenovirus serotype 3 (BAV-3) was purified by use of anion-exchange chromatography. A vaccine composed of the purified hexon in immune-stimulating complexes was administered and induced high titer of virus-neutralizing antibody in rabbits and calves.
