Abstract

Treatment of CVS-11 rabies adsorbing suspensions and street rabies infected mouse brains with gamma radiation resulted in inactivated reagents that are safer to distribute and use. These irradiated reagents were as sensitive and reactive as the nonirradiated control reagents.

EFFECT OF CHEMICAL MODIFIERS ON INACTIVATION AND MUTATION-INDUCTION BY GAMMA RADIATION IN ESCHERICHIA COLI

Journal Article Bridges, B - Journal of General Microbiology (England)

In continuation of earlier studies demonstrating sensitization by N- ethylmaleimiede (NEM) and of protection by dimethyl sulfoxide and thiourea when inactivation of colony forming ability was the criterion of radiation damage, the influence of these compounds, together with the familiar modifiers oxygen, glycerol and cysteine, was investigated using an additional criterion of radiation effect, namely mutation. Reversions to tryptophan independence in strain WP 2 of E. coli B/r were studied. Cobalt-60 gamma radiation was given at room temperature in a glass vessel at the rate of 4500 rad/min; air or oxygen- free nitrogen was bubbled through the bacterial suspension formore »« less

Factors influencing inactivation of infectivity and hemagglutinin of influenza virus by gamma radiation

Journal Article Polley, John - Canadian Journal of Microbiology

The effects of various conditions on the production of vaccines from PR8 influenza A virus by irradiation in a Co ⁶⁰ cell (at a rate of 1.25 Mrad/hr) are described. In purified virus suspensions in physiological saline, the hemagglutinin was destroyed more rapidly than infectivity. However, the addition of certain reagents reversed this effect. The most effective compounds for protection of the hemagglutinin during gamma irradiation are the sulfurcontaining amino acids (cystine, cysteine, and methionine) and compounds containing a ring structure such as histidine, tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, sodium p- aminohippurate (PAH), and sulfanilamide. Ascorbic acid, an antioxidant, also exerts amore »« less

Inactivation of mycoplasma in seed virus stocks using gamma radiation

Journal Article Polley, J; Fanok, A - Can. J. Microbiol., v. 19, no. 6, pp. 709-714

A method was developed for the elimination of viable Mycoplasma in reference seed virus stocks. It was found that various species of Mycoplasma (such as M. pneumoniae, M. arthritidis, M. hominis, M. Salivarium, M. orale types I and II, M. meleagridis, and several unidentified species isolated from tissue cultures) were inactivated more rapidly by gamma radiation than all viruses tested. By the use of selected radiation doses, high concentrations of Mycoplasma species could be inactivated in virus suspensions of polioviruses types I and III, coxsackie viruses types A-7, A-9, B-3, and B-6, echoviruses types 1, 9, 12, and 20, herpesmore »« less
The effect of interferon on the receptor sites to rabies virus on mouse neuroblastoma cells

Miscellaneous Briggs, D

The binding of rabies virus to mouse neuroblastoma cells (MNA) primed with alpha interferon (IFN-{alpha}), beta interferon (IFN-{beta}), or alpha bungarotoxin (BTX) was examined. A saturable number of receptor sites to rabies virus was calculated by increasing the amount of {sup 3}H-CVS added to a constant number of untreated MNA cells. MNA cells were then exposed to 20 I.U. of IFN-{alpha}, IFN-{beta}, or 1 {mu}g of BTX and assayed to determine if these treatments had an effect on the number of receptor sites to rabies virus. Total amount of {sup 3}H-CVS bound to MNA cells was determined during a threemore »« less
INACTIVATION OF THE RADIATION-RESISTANT SPOILAGE BACTERIUM MICROCOCCUS RADIODURANS. II. RADIATION INACTIVATION RATES AS INFLUENCED BY MENSTRUUM TEMPERATURE, PRE-IRRADIATION HEAT TREATMENT, ANDCERTAIN REDUCING AGENTS

Journal Article Duggan, D; Anderson, A; Elliker, P - Applied Microbiology (U.S.) Changed to Appl. Environ. Microbiol.ed as Arch. Pathol. (March 1928-September 1950 and July 1960-December 1975) and as AMA

The R/sub 1/ strain of Micrococcus radiodurans, previously determined to be more resistant than three other strains exposed to gamma radiation, was studied to determine the influence of certain environmental factors on resistance to radiation inactivation. The frozen state offered insignificant protection to the organisins irradiated in raw pureed beef. Resistance was reduced by higher menstruum temperatures (40 and 50 deg C) during irradiation. Pre-irradiation heat treatment was found to lower resistance to subsequent irradiation. When the cells were irradiated in buffer at pH 5, 7, or 9, no differences in resistance were noted. Cell suspensions in buffer were protectedmore »« less
