Sero-epidemiological survey on Yaba and 1211 virus infections among several species of monkeys.

The distribution of neutralizing antibody to Yaba virus and 1211 agent in the sera of three Asian and one African monkey species was examined.Cynomolgus (Macaca irus), bonnet (M. radiata) and rhesus (M. mulatta) monkeys possessed antibody to Yaba virus at incidences of 19.9, 8.4 and 0%, respectively. In African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) the incidence was as high as 76.4%.As for 1211 agent, no Asian monkeys had neutralizing antibody and 5.5% of African green monkey sera neutralized the virus.

Effects of adenine nucleotides on hydrogen-ion transport in chloroplasts.

1-10 muM ATP stimulated H(+) uptake and slowed the release of H(+) in the dark in chloroplasts illuminated at pH values at which photophosphorylation can occur, but not at pH 6.5. This ATP stimulation of H(+) uptake was abolished by an antiserum to the chloroplast coupling factor and was reduced by the energy transfer inhibitors phlorizin and Dio-9. ATP synthesis after illumination was also enhanced by ATP. Electron flow from water to methyl viologen was inhibited by the same low concentrations of ATP.ADP also increased the extent of H(+) uptake in chloroplasts, even in the presence of arsenate and MgCl(2). In the presence of hexokinase and glucose, as well as arsenate and Mg(++), ADP inhibited H(+) uptake. The failure of previous investigators to observe a direct inhibition of H(+) uptake by phosphorylation was probably caused by a masking of the inhibition by the stimulation of H(+) uptake by ATP. Furthermore, the stimulation of H(+) uptake by ATP provides an explanation for its inhibition of electron flow.

Inhibition of the synthesis of simian virus 40 antigens in cells preinfected with Yaba tumor virus.

The synthesis of tumor and viral antigens after infection of an established line of cynomolgus monkey kidney cells with simian virus 40 (SV40) was compared in cells previously infected with Yaba virus and in cells not preinfected. SV40 failed to induce synthesis of tumor or viral antigens in cells preinfected with Yaba virus. The inhibitory state in preinfected cells was shown to develop sequentially. Increase in the rate of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in the nuclei of preinfected cells occurred after infection with SV40. This rate of increase was significantly lower than that which occurred in SV40-infected cells which had not been preinfected. Cytosine arabinoside did not exert significant effect on the development of the inhibitory effect against SV40 in Yaba virus-infected cells.
