Fetal and adult bovine interferon production during bovine viral diarrhea virus infection. 1976

C R Rinaldo, and D W Isackson, and J C Overall, and L A Glasgow, and T T Brown, and S I Bistner, and J H Gillespie, and F W Scott

Levels of interferon in adult bovine serum and in fetal bovine serum and tissues were examined during the course of transplacental bovine viral diarrhea virus infection. The cows produced circulating interferon between 2 and 9 days after viral inoculation, with mean peak levels in the serum on day 4. Interferon could be routinely detected in fetal tissues (e.g., thymus, spleen, and kidney) between days 4 and 21 after viral inoculation of the cows at 149 to 150 days of gestation (mid-second trimester) and in fetal serum from day 13 through day 21. Interferon was also detectable in the serum and tissues of fetuses from dams infected at day 95 of gestation (the beginning of the second trimester). In general, no differences were found between the ability of the adult and fetus to produce interferon. Fetal lamb kidney cells were more sensitive to the antiviral effects of bovine interferon than were fetal bovine kidney cells. The antiviral substance from the fetal and adult animals was characterized as interferon by standard criteria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon

D011251 Pregnancy Complications, Infectious The co-occurrence of pregnancy and an INFECTION. The infection may precede or follow FERTILIZATION.

D001908 Diarrhea Viruses, Bovine Viral A group of viruses in the genus PESTIVIRUS, causing diarrhea, fever, oral ulcerations, hemorrhagic syndrome, and various necrotic lesions among cattle and other domestic animals. The two species (genotypes), BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 , exhibit antigenic and pathological differences. The historical designation, BVDV, consisted of both (then unrecognized) genotypes.

D005333 Fetus The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
