A fluorescence antibody test with monoclonal antibodies was used to determine the subgroup (A or B) of respiratory syncytial virus from infants hospitalized in Caen, France, over eight consecutive epidemics from 1982 to 1990. From 1982 to 1985, 27 (30%) out of 90 frozen nasal slides were classified as subgroup A strains and 63 (70%) were classified as subgroup B. B strains predominated over A in 1983-1984 and 1984-1985. From 1985 to 1990, 284 respiratory syncytial virus field strains were reisolated from frozen materials; 115 (40.5%) were typed as subgroup A and 169 (59.5%) were typed as subgroup B. In 1985-1986, 1986-1987, and 1988-1989, both subgroups were present in almost equal numbers; subgroup A (88.3%) predominated in 1987-1988, and subgroup B (84.5%) predominated in 1989-1990. In conclusion, both subgroups occur together each year, and one subgroup rarely predominates, e.g., subgroup A in 1987-1988 and subgroup B in 1983-1984 and 1989-1990. Therefore, there is a gradual change of the predominant subgroup into another over a period of about 5 years; the relative frequency of subgroup A strains increased from 1983 to 1988, whereas the percentage of subgroup B decreased during the same period. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) commonly infects the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Currently, there is no effective treatment available. Deoxyribozymes are a potential therapeutic for RSV and their activity is based on the ability to bind and cleave complementary RNA sequences to inhibit protein expression. DZ1133 is a deoxyribozyme that targets the conserved genomic RNA sequence of the RSV nucleocapsid protein and has been shown to significantly inhibit various strains of RSV including subgroups A and B, standard A2 and CH18537 strains, and CQ381513, CQ381170, BJ01 and BJ04 strains. Treatment with DZ1133 decreased viral plaque formation in lungs of RSV-infected BALB/c mice. In addition, viral mRNA expression was reduced, airway inflammation was alleviated, and leukocyte counts were reduced in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of RSV-infected mice. The antiviral effect of DZ1133 was dose-dependent (0.2–0.8 mg) and more efficient than antisense oligonucleotide inhibition of gene expression. However, levels of cytokines TNF-, IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-10 induced by RSV infection were not affected by DZ1133 treatment. Our data demonstrate that DZ1133 is a potential therapeutic agent against both subgroups A and B RSV infection in vivo. 相似文献

The occurrence of antigenic variation among nine isolates of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was determined by examining their reaction patterns to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) subgroup A and B monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) by enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunoprecipitation with fractionation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis by using MAbs and polyclonal antisera to HRSV and BRSV. Shared epitopes were demonstrated on four of five structural proteins between BRSV and both subgroups A and B of HRSV. The nine isolates of BRSV showed different patterns of reactivity in enzyme immunoassays with panels of MAbs to HRSV subgroups A and B. Major variations in the molecular weights of the P (phosphoprotein) and F (fusion protein) proteins were demonstrated among the BRSV isolates tested. These results suggest that BRSV belongs to a different antigenic grouping than HRSV and that BRSV is composed of two distinct subgroups. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important viral respiratory pathogen of early life. Studies of the immune response in general (and the innate response in particular) to this agent are of interest for a number of reasons. First, severe forms of illness may be a result of enhanced immunologic responsiveness to viral constituents at the time of infection. Secondly, the immune response to RSV may consist principally of innate immune responses at the time of maximum severity of illness. Third, RSV infection in infancy may be linked via immune mechanisms to the development of childhood wheezing. Finally there are no meaningfully effective forms of therapy for RSV infection, and elucidation of the immune response may suggest new therapeutic approaches. This review will summarize our current knowledge of innate immune responses to RSV infection. Specifically we will review early interactions of the virus with surfactant proteins and Toll-like receptors, chemokine release from infected cells, cytokine release from activated inflammatory cells, activation of neuroimmune pathways, generation of dendritic cells, the release of soluble mediators of airway obstruction, and genetic polymorphisms associated with RSV-related illness. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major cause of serious lower respiratory disease in infancy and early childhood. The unique pathogenesis of lower respiratory illness due to RSV offers some intriguing clues to the role of the human immune system in both protection against and development of respiratory illness. More than any other virus, rapid diagnostic techniques have been especially successful in identifying RSV infection. Many of these techniques could be easily adaptable to diagnosis of influenza virus infection and other agents. Finally, ribavirin therapy of RSV infection represents one of the few instances in which antiviral therapy has been shown to be effective for respiratory illnesses. Fundamental observations in these areas in the case of RSV infection open up new and exciting pathways for investigation of respiratory infection due to other viral, chlamydial, and mycoplasmal agents. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus was isolated from hospitalized children in Hawaii in each month of the year during the period January 1987 to August 1989. Subgroup A and subgroup B strains cocirculated, with subgroup A predominating. There was an alternating early-season and late-season peak incidence cycle as reported elsewhere. 相似文献

We studied epidemiologic and immunologic factors in infants with bronchiolitis caused by influenza virus. The proportion of these infants who were male and who had an immediate family member with a history of asthma was similar to that of a control group of infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis. In subjects with influenza virus infection, concentrations of the beta chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), but not other beta chemokines, in nasopharyngeal secretions (NPS) were greater among infants with more severe, hypoxic bronchiolitis than in subjects with mild, nonhypoxic bronchiolitis, or upper respiratory tract infection alone. Quantities of MIP-1alpha were also correlated with lower values of oxygen saturation. These findings point out epidemiologic and immunologic similarities between bronchiolitis caused by influenza and RSV, and suggest that host factors are more important than the nature of the infecting virus in the development of severe forms of bronchiolitis caused by influenza and RSV. 相似文献

The frequency and severity of infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were assessed in children <2 years of age seen at the emergency department. The frequency of RSV detection in the clinical virology laboratory during the past 3 years was also analyzed retrospectively. RSV was found in 21.6% (188/869) of the samples collected from children seen at the emergency department and was found to be more frequent during the autumn, being less frequent or negligible by midwinter. RSV subgroups A and B co-circulated within the same time period in children seen at the emergency department, with varying predominance of either subgroup. There was no significant association of RSV subgroup with disease severity, but only a trend for RSV subgroup B being more frequent in children with risk factors for severe disease. 相似文献

Rapid and specific diagnosis of influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viruses is needed for optimal management of patients with acute respiratory infections. In this study, a one‐step triplex real‐time RT‐PCR assay was developed for rapid diagnosis of influenza A/B and RSV infections to optimize diagnosis efficiency of acute respiratory infections. Cell‐culture supernatants and clinical samples were used to evaluate specificity and sensitivity of the assay. The assay was used routinely during two winter epidemics for testing respiratory specimens from 2,417 patients. The limit of detection in cell‐culture supernatant was 1–10 plaque forming units/input (influenza A/B) and 2 × 10?2 50% tissue culture infectious dose/input (RSV). In clinical samples, the assay was as sensitive as commercial molecular assays for the detection of each influenza A/B and RSV (Flu‐A/B and RSV‐A/B r‐gene?) individually, and far more sensitive than antigen detection. During the winter 2008–2009, the assay identified 145 RSV, 42 influenza A, and one mixed RSV‐influenza A infections among 298 patients. The next winter, the assay was used in two independent hospital laboratory settings. 776 patients were tested in one hospital and 1,343 in the other, resulting in 184 and 501 RSV, 133 and 150 influenza A, and 1 and 11 mixed RSV‐influenza A infections, respectively, being detected. This new user‐friendly assay allows rapid (within hours), effective molecular diagnosis of single or mixed infections involving influenza A (including seasonal A H1N1 and H3N2, and A(H1N1) 2009), influenza B, and RSV(A/B). The assay is very valuable for managing patients during winter epidemics when influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses co‐circulate. J. Med. Virol. 83:695–701, 2011. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The subtype characteristics of 22 strains of respiratory syncytial (RS) virus isolated in Sweden were determined by the use of monoclonal antibodies. Eleven antibodies specific for distinct epitopes on five different structural proteins were used in immunofluorescence and radioimmune precipitation assays. One group of 12 isolates were derived from a three-month epidemic during 1984, whereas the other ten virus isolates were recovered during a time period of 13 years (1971-1983). All isolates could be allocated to the previously defined groups of subtype A and B strains of RS virus. During the single epidemic season, five subtype A and seven subtype B strains were found. During the 13-year period a randomly alternating appearance of six subtype A and four subtype B strains was observed. Thus RS virus strains of different subtype characteristics may occur alternately or concomitantly. The possible significance of consecutive infections with RS virus subtypes for immunopathological events deserves further studies. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of viral lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children worldwide. In New Zealand, infants with RSV disease are hospitalized at a higher rate than other industrialized countries, without a proportionate increase in known risk factors. The molecular epidemiology of RSV in New Zealand has never been described. Therefore, we analyzed viral attachment glycoprotein (G) gene sequences from 106 RSV subgroup A isolates collected in New Zealand between 1967 and 2003, and 38 subgroup B viruses collected between 1984 and 2004. Subgroup A and B sequences were aligned separately, and compared to sequences of viruses isolated from other countries during a similar period. Genotyping and clustering analyses showed RSV in New Zealand is similar and temporally related to viruses found in other countries. By quantifying temporal clustering, we found subgroup B viruses clustered more strongly than subgroup A viruses. RSV B sequences displayed more variability in stop codon usage and predicted protein length, and had a higher degree of predicted O-glycosylation site changes than RSV A. The mutation rate calculated for the RSV B G gene was significantly higher than for RSV A. Together, these data reveal that RSV subgroups exhibit different patterns of evolution, with subgroup B viruses evolving faster than A. 相似文献

To study the consequences of the interaction of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) with dendritic cells in vitro, we established a model of the primary immune response using dendritic cells, autologous naive T cells and the superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST 1). About 10% of the naive T cells express the T cell receptor chain Vbeta2. These cells were stimulated by TSST 1 and could be analysed by flow cytometry. Cultures infected with RSV produced significantly less interferon-gamma compared to uninfected cultures. In a first set of experiments we evaluated whether this culture model using isolated CD4(+) CD45RA(+) T cells, in fact, reflects the primary immune response. In a prospective study, cells were isolated from 13 children at birth, at 1 year of age and at 4 years of age. RSV reduced interferon-gamma production at all the age groups analysed and the results were stable over time within a given individual. In a second set of experiments, we asked whether clinical differences in the course of RSV infection are due to variations in the cellular immune response. At the age of 1 year (5-9 months after the RSV epidemic) dendritic cells and naive T cells were obtained from 27 children with a history of bronchiolitis, from 15 children with a benign course of RSV infection and from 26 controls without RSV infection. The frequency of interferon-gamma-producing cells in RSV infected cultures was significantly lower (P < 0.001) in cultures from children with a history of RSV bronchiolitis compared to children with mild RSV infection. Cultures from children without infection displayed a wide range of results. Overall, interferon-gamma generation in this group was still lower (P < 0.05) than in the group with mild RSV infection. Because we have ruled out that memory cells play a role in the experiments performed, the most likely explanation for our results is that a high generation of interferon-gamma in the primary immune response protects from severe RSV mediated disease. 相似文献
