Immune response of hamsters to experimental central nervous system infection with measles virus. 1982

L H Tobler, and K P Johnson, and G C Buehring

Forty-two 21-day-old Syrian golden hamsters were inoculated intracerebrally with a hamster-adapted Mantooth strain of measles virus. For the duration of the experiment, the animals demonstrated measles virus infection of the central nervous system documented by histology and detection of measles antigen by fluorescent antibody staining. The lymphocyte-rosetting response to infection in the hamster was monitored for 25 days after inoculation utilizing a human cell line (HEp-2) persistently infected with the hamster-adapted measles virus. The rosetting response reached a peak on the third day after virus inoculation and then declined to a constant low level by the tenth day. This decline corresponded to the peak of the humoral immune response as measured by the measles hemagglutination-inhibition titer. The rosetting response-appears in this model to be a response to the acute phase of infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
