Mouse Groups of 50 male and 50 female B6C3Fi mice, eight weeks of age, were administered skin applications of 0, 88 or 177 mg/kg bw 2,3-dibromo-l-propanol (98% pure) in 95% ethanol on five days per week for 36-39 weeks (males) or 39-42 weeks (females). The study was terminated at 36-39 weeks (males) and 39 2 weeks (females) because sera from sentinel mice housed in the same room as the study animals were found to be positive for antibodies to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. As shown in Table 1, increased incidences of skin papillomas, forestomach papillomas and forestomach carcinomas were observed in both sexes. Hepatocellular adenomas were seen in 1/50 control, 2/50 low-dose and 9/50 high-dose p < 0.05) male mice no data for liver were reported in females (Eustis et al., 1995).

Narcissus tazetta L. is also cultivated as an ornamental plant and for the production of volatile oil. From this species a number of alkaloids were isolated [10-12, 14] which showed great interest because of their effective antitumoral [173] and antiviral activities, particularly against choriomeningitis virus [174]. Lycorine, homolycorine and tazettine were... 

The primacy of 04" T lymphocytes in controlling and clearing viral infections is evident in diverse viral infections. Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-specific CD4 T lymphocytes are generated in LCMV infection, and more than 10% of this population secrete IFN-y in response to class Il-restricted LCMV peptides (Muller et al. 1992 Varga and Welsh 1998). Control of hepatitis C...

Arenavirus (Lassa fever virus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Machupo virus, and Junin virus). Enveloped, helical, ambisense, and ssRNA (two segments). Synthesis occurs in the host cell cytoplasm maturation involves budding from the host cell plasma membrane. Virions contain ribosomes. The human pathogens Lassa, Machuppo, and Junin viruses are Biosafety Level 4 pathogens - they must be handled in the laboratory under maximum containment conditions.
