Detection of turkey rhinotracheitis virus in turkeys using the polymerase chain reaction

Six-week-old turkey poults were infected with the virulent UK/3B/85 strain of TRTV. Tracheal and oesophageal swabs were made every 2 to 3 days from groups of five poults and the RNA extracted. The TRTV RNA was then reverse-transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) using an oligonucleotide complementary to the 3' end of the fusion protein (F) mRNA. The cDNA was then used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with an upstream primer to generate a product of approximately 0.5 kbp which was detected by ethidium bromide staining after electrophoresis. In this way, TRTV was detected in both types of swab for 17 to 19 days post-infection, nearly 2 weeks after the peak titres of infectious virus. Swabs which were allowed to dry completely before RNA extraction were as successful as swabs kept wet and extracted almost immediately, useful for when samples are collected in the field. The oligonucleotides amplified the 0.5 kbp product from TRTV strains isolated in six countries over a 13-year period, indicating that they might be usable as 'universal' oligonucleotides for TRTV detection.     

Significance of cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis in evaluating antichronic myeloid leukemia efficacy of different immune effector cells

We report on the antileukemia effect of interleukin 2 (IL2) on different immune cells from 22 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Bone marrow cells from these patients were first cultured in modified long-term bone marrow culture medium for several days, then separately cultured with lymphokine activated killer cells (LAK), cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK), and dendritic cell cocultured CIK (DC-CIK) for another 1-2 days. They were then detected for presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) by cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The percentage of Ph-chromosome-positive cells in the bone marrow mononuclear cells after culturing with CIK and DC-CIK was significantly lower than that after culturing with IL2 or LAK. Our results demonstrate that cytogenetics and FISH are useful techniques for the evaluation of the anti-CML effect of immune cells and that CIK or DC-CIK can be appropriate candidates for adoptive immune cell therapy in vivo or for leukemia cell purging ex vivo.

Deletion of stem-loop 3 is compensated by second-site mutations within the Gag protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Encapsidation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA involves specific interactions between viral Gag proteins and viral RNA elements located at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). These RNA elements are termed packaging (psi) or encapsidation (E) signals and mainly comprise the stem-loop 1 (SL1) and SL3 RNA structures. We have previously shown that deletion of the SL1 sequences is compensated by second-site mutations within Gag. Similar studies are now extended to SL3 and the results demonstrate that deletion of this RNA structure is rescued by two point mutations, i.e., A11V in p2 and I12V in nucleocapsid (NC). These two compensatory mutations are different from those associated with the rescue of SL1 deletion, suggesting that SL1 and SL3 may bind to different residues of Gag during viral RNA packaging. Analysis of virion-derived RNA in native agarose gels shows that deletion of SL3 leads to decreases in both viral RNA packaging and dimerization. These defects are corrected by the compensatory mutations A11V and I12V. Yet, defects in viral RNA dimerization at an early stage that were caused by the SL3 deletion in the context of a viral protease-negative mutation cannot be overcome by these two suppressor mutations. Therefore, the positive effects of A11V and I12V on dimerization of the SL3-deleted RNA must have taken place at the maturation stage.
