An association between viral antigens, cytopathic effect (CPE) and viral titers in blood and lymphoid tissues suggests a direct CPE of Junin virus on the lymphopoietic organs of guinea pigs infected with 10(3) 50% lethal doses of the XJ prototype strain. After seven days of infection, all lymphoreticular organs had infectivity titers higher than those for blood. Virus was recovered from bone marrow and lymph nodes at day 5 after infection; peak titers were obtained from bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes after day 10. Granular specific fluorescence was detected in the cytoplasm of reticular monocytes after day 7; megakaryocytes showed positive fluorescence, but specific staining of other lymphoid cells was not observed. Necrosis of bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen was observed after day 9. CPE consisted of overdevelopment of reticuloendoplasmic cisterne of reticulomonocytes and myeloblasts. Typical Junin virus particles were observed. Reticular cells were gradually destroyed, and simultaneous necrosis of surrounding lymphoid cells was observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D003588 Cytopathogenic Effect, Viral Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.
