Tóm tắt

The development of specific antigens of measles, canine distemper and rinderpest viruses in Vero cells was examined by fluorescent antibody (FA) techniques. Intracellular and extracellular virus antigens were demonstrated by FA staining of fixed cells and unfixed living cells, respectively. All the three viruses showed the same pattern of development of specific antigens in the same host cells. Both V and S antigens were considered to be synthesized exclusively in the cytoplasm. The antigenic correlation among the three viruses was also studied by cross FA staining of both fixed and unfixed samples. A significant correlation among them was more clearly demonstrated by FA technique than in virus neutralization, HI, or CF tests. The similarity in the structures of V antigens as well as S antigens among the three viruses is discussed.
