    Description: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus was isolated from the soft-shelled tick (Ornithodoros coriaceus). Serological identification of the isolated viruses was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion of purified virus DNA. These isolations indicate that the soft-shelled tick may be a vector for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus. This may be the first reported isolation of mammalian herpesvirus from an arthropod vector.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Taylor, R E -- Seal, B S -- St Jeor, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Apr 16;216(4543):300-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6278596" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Clinical experience and laboratory data suggest that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is present in peripheral blood of seropositive individuals in a latent or persistent state and can be transmitted via blood products and be reactivated in seropositive imunocompromised patients. The pathophysiology of HCMV latency and the nature of HCMV interaction with hematopoietic cells remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the infection of bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells and their progeny as a model of HCMV latency. A clinical isolate and the recombinant laboratory strain Towne/lox containing the Escherichia coli β galactosidase (β-gal) gene regulated by immediately early (IE) HCMV promoter were used to infect highly purified CD34+ cells. Although the infection of these cells with a clinical isolate was associated with an inhibition of proliferation by 59%, an expansion of progeny derived from these cells was possible. Polymerase chain reaction analysis and staining for β-gal have shown that HCMV persisted in infected BM CD34+ cells and their progeny for up to 4 weeks. However, IE and late gene products (mRNA and protein) were detected only late in the course of infection and their expression correlated with terminal macrophage differentiation of the CD34+-derived progeny. Although early infection of CD34+ progenitor cells was not productive (as shown by the plaque assay), infectious virus could be recovered from the terminally differentiated cultures. BM progenitor cells may serve as a reservoir of the latent virus with limited transcription. Proliferation and monocytic maturation of infected progenitors may lead to the numerical expansion of HCMV-infected cells, which serve as a source of HCMV dissemination and reactivation.

    Description: In an effort to study whether human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can disrupt the balanced cytokine network that controls human hematopoiesis, we investigated the ability of a laboratory strain HCMV (AD169) to alter the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by cultured endothelial cells (HUVECs). ECs are important components of human bone marrow stroma and produce factors that stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of human hematopoietic progenitors. HCMV was able to greatly increase production of both mRNA and protein for IL-6 in unprimed HUVECs. When we discriminated between viral pellet and cleared viral supernatants, the supernatants induced an increase in mRNA at 30 minutes and protein by 2 hours, whereas an increase in IL-6 caused by virus itself did not become evident until 12 hours. The possibility that IL-6 induction was simply caused by the presence in the viral stock of endotoxin, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, or IL-4, all known inducers of IL-6 in HUVECs, was ruled out by the addition of polymyxin B and appropriate neutralizing antibodies. These findings show that HCMV is capable of directly and indirectly modulating the production by HUVECs of IL-6, one of the cytokines involved in the process of hematopoiesis.
