Paramyxovirus Antigens in Osteoclasts from Paget's Bone Tissue Detected by Monoclonal Antibodies

Abstract: SUMMARYThe fluorescent antibody technique using both monoclonal and specific polyclonal virus antibodies was applied to investigate the nature of the inclusions seen in the abnormal osteoclasts associated with Paget's bone disease. The results show that antigens of measles virus, simian virus 5 (SV5) and human parainfluenza virus type 3 (PF3) could be detected in the osteoclasts but not in control bone cells. Measles and SV5 nucleoprotein (NP) and haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) antigens were apparently pres… Show more

“…OCLs from individuals with Paget's disease contain nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions that have been reported to cross-react with antibodies to nucleocapsids from paramyxoviruses, including MV, respiratory syncytial virus, and canine distemper virus (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Our previous studies have suggested that MV is the most common virus detectable in the patients we have studied.…”

“…The pagetic osteoclasts are greatly increased in number and size and have increased numbers of nuclei compared with normal osteoclasts (5)(6)(7). The pagetic osteoclasts have viral-like nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions and express viral antigens and viral transcripts for paramyxoviruses (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), which suggests a possible viral etiology for Paget's disease. However, the mechanisms responsible for the enhanced osteoclast formation seen in this disease are unknown.…”
