3、feline embryo cells was inhibited by the presence of 1 tg/ml of actinomycin D in the culture fluid. No virus-specific mRNAs could be detected in such cultures and yields of infectious virus were depressed by 99%. By contrast, the antigenically related feline infectious peritonitis virus strain 79-11
4、46 was unaffected by the presence of actinomycin D, indicating a fundamental difference between the two feline coronavirus strains in their requirements for host-encoded function(s). Feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) are two coronaviruses which, althoug
5、h antigenically similar (Sanchez et al., 1990), show markedly different tissue tropisms and virulence. FECV causes a mild or inapparent enteritis in kittens whereas FIPV induces a fatal, immune-mediated peritonitis (Pedersen et al., 1981; Lutz et al., 1986; Evermann et al., 1991). The critical event
6、 in the pathogenesis of FIPV-mediated disease appears to be the ability of the virus to infect macrophages productively (Stoddart bovine coronavirus, Keck et al. (1988); rat coronavirus, Parker et al. (1970); mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), Keck et al. (1989), Spaan et al. (1981) and Malluci (1965); in
7、fectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Lomniczi human coronavirus (HCV) 229E, Schreiber et at. (1989). However FECV appeared to be strongly inhibited since no viral intracel- lular RNAs were detected. We therefore studied this phenomenon in more detail. Monolayers of WFE cells grown in 25 cm 2 flasks were

After 1 h incubation at 37 C, growth medium with or without 1 tg/ml actinomycin D was added and the cultures were reincubated at 37 C. Mock-infected WFE cells were processed simultaneously. After 6 h, total cellular RNA was prep

Viral intracellular RNAs were visualized by Northern blot hybridizations using a cDNA probe representing the 3 end of the FIPV genome. RNA preparations were electropho

However, in the presence of actinomycin D, no viral intracellular RNAs were seen in FECV-infected cells, whereas in FIPV-infected cultures viral intracellula
