Antigenic groupings of 90 rhinovirus serotypes. 1982

M K Cooney, and J P Fox, and G E Kenny

We have completed production in rabbits of potent antisera to the 90 classified rhinovirus serotypes by using methods previously described (M. K. Cooney and G. E. Kenny, Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 133:645-650, 1970). Systematic testing by neutralization tests has revealed significant numbers of cross-relationships among rhinovirus types, some of which have already been reported. Herein, our observations are compared with cross-reactions reported in National Institutes of Health reference guinea pig antisera. Also, original rhinovirus isolates, representing serotypes known to be antigenically related to other rhinoviruses, were tested against rabbit antisera to the related serotypes. These tests revealed extensive antigenic variation among isolates identified as rhinovirus 12:78 or 36:58, which are reciprocally related pairs, 41, reciprocally related to 13, and 67, which is related to both 9 and 32. If the rhinovirus serotypes were grouped according to antigenic relationships, 50 types could be included in 16 groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000914 Antibodies, Viral Immunoglobulins produced in response to VIRAL ANTIGENS. Viral Antibodies
D000915 Antibody Affinity A measure of the binding strength between antibody and a simple hapten or antigen determinant. It depends on the closeness of stereochemical fit between antibody combining sites and antigen determinants, on the size of the area of contact between them, and on the distribution of charged and hydrophobic groups. It includes the concept of "avidity," which refers to the strength of the antigen-antibody bond after formation of reversible complexes. Affinity, Antibody,Antibody Avidity,Avidity, Antibody,Affinities, Antibody,Antibody Affinities,Antibody Avidities,Avidities, Antibody
D000956 Antigens, Viral Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. Viral Antigen,Viral Antigens,Antigen, Viral
D012229 Rhinovirus A genus of PICORNAVIRIDAE inhabiting primarily the respiratory tract of mammalian hosts. It includes over 100 human serotypes associated with the COMMON COLD. Common Cold Virus,Coryza Viruses,Cold Virus, Common,Cold Viruses, Common,Common Cold Viruses,Coryza Virus,Rhinoviruses
