Viruses polio

It has been reported [20] that a mixture of A A and A G dimers, or the individual G G dimer, produce effects on the mitotic activity of a human amniotic cell line, and a transient effect on the reproduction of the RNA viruses, polio virus and vesicular stomatitis virus, grown on these cells. These effects may be attributable to the utilisation of the dimers in RNA synthesis of the cells and the viruses. A similar effect on RNA synthesis may also be produced in experiments [20] demonstrating a cytotoxic...

A rather distantly related analogue incorporating a 3-di-carbonyl moiety as a bioisosteric replacement for a carboxyl, aril done (55), blocks the uncoating of polio virus and herpes simplex virus type I and thus inhibits infection of cells and l.he early stages of virus replication. Thus effective therapy would require careful timing as it does with amantidine. 

Polio is the only disease, at present, for which both hve and killed vaccines compete. Since the introduction of the killed vims (Salk) in 1956 and the live attenuated virus (Sabin) in 1962 there has been a remaikable decline in the incidence of poliomyelitis (Fig. 16.1). The inactivated polio vaccine (TPV) contains formalin-killed poliovirus of all three serotypes. On injection, the vaccine stimulates the production of antibodies of the IgM and IgG class which neutrahze the vims in the second stage of infection. A course of three injections at monthly intervals produces long-lasting immunity to all three poliovirus types. 

IGIM should be injected into a deltoid or gluteal muscle. It does not affect the immune response of inactivated vaccines, oral polio virus, or yellow fever vaccine. The administration of live vaccines [e.g., measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine] concomitantly with IGIM may decrease the immune response significantly thus, MMR and varicella vaccine should be delayed for at least 3 and 5 months, respectively, after IGIM has been administered. Additionally, IGIM should not be given within 2 weeks of the MMR administration or within 3 weeks of the varicella vaccine to maximize the efficacy of the immunization.1...

Currently available live vaccines include measles, mumps, polio, rubella, vaccinia (smallpox), varicella (chickenpox), and yellow fever. All of these are made from viruses. There are two live bacterial vaccines 1) Bacillus of Calmette and Guerin (BCG) vaccine for tuberculosis and 2) oral typhoid.

In the 1950s, Dr. Jonas Salk and Dr. Albert Sabin from the University of Pittsburgh (USA) worked on polio vaccines. Salk used inactivated polio virus, whereas Sabin developed a live form of polio virus. 

Let s conclude this discussion of life with a short consideration of viruses. Viruses cause all sorts of problems for living organisms. The problems are the consequence of their ability to infect, and ultimately kiU, many types of cells— bacterial, animal, and plant—though each virus is quite specific in terms of the type of cell that it infects. There are many types of viruses. In people, they cause measles, mumps, influenza, AIDS, polio, potentially fatal diarrhea in infants and very young children, herpes, chicken pox, shingles, the common cold, and many other diseases, that may be fatal, serious, and not so serious. In other animals, viruses also cause any number of diseases, as they do in plants. Much effort has been, and continues to be, devoted to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of viral diseases. 

Aspartic Proteinases. This group of proteinases is named for the aspartic acid residue in the active site. Previously, this group of enzymes was often referred to as the "acid proteases" (4). Members of this group are generally found only in eukaryotic organisms. However, clear evidence has been presented that certain viruses, most importantly the virus (HIV-1) considered to give rise to autoimmune deficiency disease (AIDS), and the polio virus, contain coding sequences for a dimeric aspartic proteinase which is involved in the... 

The higher than normal serum IgA in many children with protein calorie malnutrition may be related to increased synthesis of IgA by the intestinal lamina propria in resjionse to increased antigenic stimuli from bacteria and virus. This is probably supported by the observation that children with kwashiorkor were found to maintain their polio antibodies during malnutrition, and their immune mechanism seemed to be quite capable of inhibiting poliovirus infection, indicating that the intestinal receptor cell for poliovirus operates normally in kwashiorkor (B8). It is now known that polio antiliodies are mainly associated with IgA.

Interestingly, the persistence of viruses such as polio has been shown to be dependent on the vegetable type. When introduced onto lettuce or cabbage, a 1 log reduction in polio virus was observed over 8 days. In contrast, viruses introduced onto green onions remained stable for over 14 days (Kurdziel et al., 2001). The underlying factors associated with the persistence of enteric viruses on fresh produce remain to be elucidated. 

The word vaccination comes from vaccinia, the name of the virus now known to cause cowpox vaca is the Latin word for cow ). The term vaccination is now broadly used to describe the process of causing a mild disease in order to protect a person from a more dangerous disease. Vaccination is one form of immunization, exposing the body to a material to stimulate a protective response from the immune system. Vaccination is routinely used to prevent many illnesses, including measles, rnmnps, German measles (rubella), chicken pox, and polio. Many of these illnesses have disappeared or become very rare in developed countries that provide widespread vaccinations. Smallpox has been eradicated worldwide, thanks to... 

Mammalian cells are commonly employed for the production of therapeutic and diagnostic proteins, since they are able to correctly synthetize the large and complex structures that the human body requires as medicine [1]. Nowadays, they are employed for the large-scale production of recombinant therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and viruses used in the preparation of vaccines (e.g. against rabies, hepathytis B, polio, etc) [2]. An overview of some licensed/approved products derived from mammalian cell culture is given in Table 1.

The controversy has reappeared with the introduction of a five component children s vaccine containing diphtheria, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella although this should be much more convenient and contains a killed polio instead of an attenuated virus which is known to occasionally revert to the active form, albeit in single numbers per million injections. In this case the children s vaccine should be safer and more convenient. 

The structures of five HRVs have been solved to date HRVs 1 A, 3,14, 16, and 50. In all of these HRVs, as well as the polio- and coxsackie viruses, VP1 hydrophobic pockets have been observed [5,12,13,15,17,24,70,71] (HRV3, Zhao, R. et al., personal correspondence HRV50, Giranda V.

The original polio vaccine was developed by Jonas Salk (for whom the Salk Institute in LaJolla is named). It is a "killed" virus. However, over the years it was found that this did not always impart a complete immunity. The Sabin vaccine contains an attenuated virus. It is interesting to note that the Sabin vaccine can cause an active infection in a rare number of cases.

Figure 1 illustrates several additional examples of calculated expected infections per year from a community water supply that contains one polio or Echo 12 virus per 1000 L (9). For example, one Echo 12 virus in 1000 L is projected to produce about four infections per year per 1000 persons. 

The technical objective would be to assure that a consumer would not be exposed to an infectious dose of a pathogen from the drinking water. Such a dose can range from a few or perhaps only one virulent organism (PFU) for polio virus or certain protozoa such as Giardia lamblia, to hundreds of Shigella or perhaps millions of opportunistic...
