Accumulation of altered viral nucleocapsids in mumps virus?Persistently infected cell cultures

Abstract: Two long-term human cell cultures persistently infected with mumps virus accumulated increased amounts of morphologically altered viral nucleocapsids. Alterations involved size, heterogeneity, fine structure and shape. RNA present in intracellular nucleocapsids was predominantly of subgenomic size.

“…The establishment of persistent infection in several cultured cell lines by paramyxoviridae, including measles and mumps viruses, has been reported (Andzhaparidze et al, 1983 ;Barry et al, 1976;Knight et al, 1972;Menna et al, 1975 ;Truant & Hallum, 1977). Persistent infection of measles virus in the human central nervous system is closely associated with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) (Carter et al, 1983;Hall & Choppin, 1981;Wechsler & Meissner, 1982).…”

“…Some cells were hypertrophied (area 4280+367 ~t 2) and contained 3-5 nuclei; cell fusion with formation of small clusters was also observed. In contrast to L-41, HEp-2, and other cell systems [1,2], human astrocytes did not form giant symplasts, but their shape changed from stellate to spindle-like. Virusspecific antigens were revealed by indirect immunofluorescence in 56.5+4.46% of cells 24-48 h after infection.…”

“…Replicating in monocytes/macrophages, this virus induces antigenic modulations consisting in the emergence of virusinduced proteins in the plasma membrane [2,5,6]. This phenomenon manifests itself as the ability of infected leukocytes or bone marrow cells to adsorb swine erythrocytes with serotype-specific abrogation of delayed hemadsorption (DHA) [1,9]. Hemadsorption is believed to be mediated by a virus-specific protein which is functionally and structurally similar Laboratory of Biochemistry, Institute of Veterinary Virology and Microbiology, Pokrov to the CD2 surface antigen of T lymphocytes [7].…”

“…However, the patient's serum tested positive for anti-NiV IgG, although the specific protein targeted by the IgG response could not be determined. It is possible that the patient is persistently infected with an NiV that has altered viral nucleocapsids, resulting in defective or non-infectious virus, as has been previously observed in other paramyxovirus infections, including mumps (27) and measles (28). Thus, it is possible that the anti-N antibody produced against the mutated virus only weakly recognises rNiV-N in comparison to those in the acute positive patients' sera.…”
