Antibody response in cattle and rabbits to early antigens of malignant catarrhal fever virus in cultured cells. 1978

P B Rossiter, and E Z Mushi, and W Plowright

Cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) inhibited the production of late antigens and of infectious virus in monolayers of bovine kidney cells infected with the high-passage, WC-11 strain of malignant catarrhal fever virus. Early antigens were not affected. Using hyperimmune and acute-phase sera from cattle and rabbits in indirect immunofluorescence tests, it was shown that Ara-C treated cultures contained two early antigens; one was diffuse and distributed throughout the cells, the other was particulate and intranuclear. Antibody to early antigens developed later and attained lower titres in infected animals, especially rabbits; only hyperimmune sera reacted with the diffuse early antigen.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
