Abstract
The kinetic and equilibrium attachment of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) to seven insect cell lines was evaluated. Kinetic experiments revealed differences of up to 10-fold in the infection rates among cell lines. Equilibrium binding also varied between cell lines and was saturable. The Tn 5B1-4 and Tn F cell lines had the highest virus binding affinities and infection rates and exhibited diffusion-limited attachment. The rate of infection appears to be limited by the rate of attachment. For the Tn 5B1-4 cells the physical to infective particle ratio for AcMNPV was 5.3. From the Scatchard analyses, the cell lines Tn 5B1-4 and Tn F displayed affinities of 2.35 x 10(10) M-1 and 1.60 x 10(10) M-1, respectively, with 6000 and 13,700 binding sites per cell. The insect cell line Hz 1075, which is not susceptible to AcMNPV infection, displayed a much lower, but saturable, binding of AcMNPV with 900 sites/cell and an affinity of 1.1 x 10(10) M-1. Unlabelled AcMNPV, but not Lymantria dispar MNPV could compete with labelled AcMNPV for binding sites. There were 93 to 96% reductions in virus cell binding following pretreatments of cells with three proteases, suggesting the involvement of a cellular protein component in virus binding. Tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation and expression of some membrane proteins on the cell surface, reduced virus binding in a dose-dependent manner suggesting a role for glycoprotein(s) in binding. However there was no evidence for the direct involvement of oligosaccharides in attachment. Metabolic inhibitors of oligosaccharide trimming and competition binding assays using simple sugars caused no measurable reductions in virus binding. These findings suggest that AcMNPV attachment to insect cells is receptor-mediated via a glycoprotein component(s); the direct involvement of oligosaccharide moieties in binding is unlikely.

Abstract
We have devised a simple and efficient baculovirus expression vector system to evaluate insect tissue culture cells for their capacity to express, glycosylate and secrete foreign proteins. A truncated placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) gene was inserted into the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) genome under the transcriptional control of the polyhedrin gene promoter. Production levels, glycosylation, and secretion of the recombinant protein were examined in Trichoplusia ni (BTI-TN-5B1-4) and Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cell lines. The assay for SEAP activity, which is fast, inexpensive, and quantitative to concentrations of 20 picograms per milliliter, was used to assess cell-associated and secreted SEAP activity. The proportion of SEAP which is modified with N-linked oligosaccharide can also be determined due to the difference in mobilities during SDS-PAGE between the glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms of the protein.

Abstract
Eight cell lines derived from the insects Spodoptera frugiperda, Trichoplusia ni, Mamestra brassicae, and Estigmene acrea were evaluated for recombinant beta-galactosidase and infectious virus production following infection with the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV). Production was assessed on a specific (per cell and per microgram of uninfected cellular protein) and on a volumetric (per milliliter) basis. Cell density was found to be an important factor in comparing the cell lines due to a density-dependent inhibition of specific protein and virus production that appeared to result from cell-cell contact. After infection of cells at low-density specific beta-galactosidase production per cell would drop between 3- and 6-fold in five of the eight cell lines when plated on tissue culture plates at near-confluent and confluent cell densities. The cell lines Sf 21 and Sf 9 were least sensitive to cell density. After accounting for cell density effects and differences in cell size, two cell lines, BTI Tn 5B1-4 and BTI TnM, were identified that were superior to the other cell lines, including Sf 21 and Sf 9, in beta-galactosidase production. Optimal volumetric and specific beta-galactosidase production from Tn 5B1-4 and TnM cells was 2-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in both cell lines than the optimal production from Sf 9 or Sf 21 cells. The Tn 5B1-4 cell line also had the highest viability of all the cell lines at 3 days postinfection and could be adapted to serum-free media.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A bacterial lacZ gene was inserted into an isolate of the Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV). The transfer vector was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis of the translation start site of the LdMNPV polyhedrin gene, within the BglII E fragment of the viral genome. A multiple cloning sequence was inserted at this start site and used for the insertion of the lacZ gene into the transfer plasmid. Liposome transfection was used to cotransfect L. dispar tissue culture cells with viral DNA and the transfer plasmid. Recombinant LdMNPV isolates were purified by isolation of plaques producing beta-galactosidase but not polyhedra. Restriction enzyme fragment profiles were used to determine the site of the lacZ gene insertion, and DNA sequencing of the 5' and 3' ends of the lacZ gene insert and the adjoining polyhedrin promoter and coding regions was performed to identify its precise location. Expression of the lacZ gene was examined by studying virus-induced protein using [35S]methionine pulse-labelling, SDS-PAGE fractionation and autoradiography. Expression of beta-galactosidase was examined in tissue culture cells using colorimetric assays. The maximum rate of beta-galactosidase production was approximately 50 international units (IU)/10(6) tissue culture cells/day between 3 and 4 days post-infection (p.i), and the peak total expression was 158 IU/10(6) cells 5 days p.i. beta-Galactosidase activity was first detected 48 h p.i. in haemolymph samples from fourth instar L. dispar larvae injected with 10(6) p.f.u. of virus. The peak beta-galactosidase activity in larval haemolymph samples was 1931 IU/ml of haemolymph at 11 days p.i., just prior to death.

Abstract
The VP-2 genes of canine parvovirus (CPV) and a recombinant consisting of CPV and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) sequences were cloned into baculovirus expression vectors, fused to the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter. Recombinant baculoviruses were prepared and the properties of the parvovirus proteins expressed in insect cells examined. The proteins produced were the same size as the authentic CPV VP-2 protein, and were produced late after infection; the quantity of proteins recovered from the insect cell cultures was similar to those produced in CPV infections. Parvovirus particles formed had the haemagglutination (HA), sedimentation and buoyant density properties of authentic CPV capsids. Both the CPV capsids and the CPV-FPV recombinant capsids from the baculovirus system expressed the same epitopes as those seen in the viable parvoviruses when tested with a panel of anti-parvovirus monoclonal antibodies. Lysates of recombinant baculovirus-infected cells were inoculated into dogs, giving rise to serum neutralizing and HA-inhibiting antibodies, and the immunized dogs were protected from clinical disease upon challenge with a virulent isolate of the most recent antigenic type of CPV.

Abstract
Hz-1 viral RNA transcription was studied during productive and persistent infections. The RNAs were localized to 10- to 30-kb regions within the viral genome, and the timing of their expression was determined. During productive infections, we detected 101 virus-specific transcripts that could be grouped into three categories by time of appearance. At 2 h postinoculation (p.i.), a total of 34 virus-specific transcripts were detected. An additional 51 and 16 virus-specific transcripts appeared between 4 and 6 h p.i. and at 8 h p.i., respectively. After 8 h, no new transcripts were found. Under conditions of persistent infection, we detected only one viral persistency-associated transcript (PAT1). The region of the viral DNA which encodes PAT1 was cloned. During productive infections, three transcripts were derived from this region. Each had the same polarity as PAT1. One of them was of the same size as PAT1 and had similar, if not identical, 3' and 5' ends. This report provides detailed and very useful information concerning sequentially expressed transcripts of the Hz-1 baculovirus.

Abstract
Viruses are multivalent particles that attach to cells through one or more bonds between viral attachment proteins (VAP) and specific cellular receptors. Three modes of virus binding are presented that can explain the diversity in binding data observed among viruses. They are based on multivalency of attachment and spatial versus receptor saturation effects which are easily distinguished based upon simple criteria. Mode 1 involves only monovalent virus/receptor binding. Modes 2 and 3 involve multivalent bonds between the virus and cell; however, in mode 3 space on the cell surface becomes saturated before receptors. A model is developed for viral attachment that accounts for nonspecific binding, receptor/virus interactions, and spatial saturation effects. The model can describe each mode in different limits and can be applied to virus binding data to extract key physical information such as receptor number and affinity. These values are used to postulate the type of VAP/receptor interaction involved and to predict binding at different parameter values. For the mode 2 binding of Adenovirus 2, the model predicts a receptor number of 4-15 x 10(3) on HeLa cells and an affinity of 2-6 x 10(7) M-1 which closely approximate experimental estimates. For the binding of three, broad-host-range, enveloped viruses, Semliki Forest virus, Vesicular Stomatitis virus, and the baculovirus, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus, the model predicts receptor numbers of 10(5) or greater and affinities in the range of 10(4) to 10(5) M-1. These values are indicative of a VAP/oligosaccharide interaction which has been documented for a number of other viruses. Experimental evidence is presented that is the first to demonstrate that baculovirus binding is mediated by a cell surface receptor.

Abstract
The insect cell-baculovirus expression system has significant potential for producing proteins requiring some degree of posttranslational modification. T. ni cells appear to be as good a host as S. frugiperda cells for heterologous protein production as demonstrated by production of beta-galactosidase. Attachment-dependent cells of T. ni can be effectively cultured in a packed-bed reactor using glass beads. When cell in such a reactor were infected, they produced 35% of the total protein as beta-galactosidase. No cell detachment was observed even 70 h postinfection. A model of viral entry has been proposed and tested.

Abstract
The thickness of soft tissues over the sacrum of elderly hospital in-patients has been measured using B-mode ultrasound. Forty patients were scanned, of which nine had recognizable superficial pressure sores at the sacrum. No correlation was found between the depth of soft tissue and either age or Norton score. Patients with sores had less soft tissue over the sacrum (p less than 0.025). Excluding one patient whose sacral sore appeared to be the final stage of the healing process, the remaining eight all had less than 8.5 mm of sacral soft tissue cover. Five patients without sacral sores also had less than 8.5 mm of sacral soft tissue cover. However, a combination of the presence of incontinence and the depth of sacral soft tissue cover identified seven of the eight patients with sacral sores with no inclusion of patients without sores.

Abstract
Restriction maps of the 166.6-kb genome of Lymantria dispar multiply-enveloped nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV clone g) were constructed for BamHI, BglII, EcoRI, EcoRV, HindIII and KpnI, using cosmid pVK102 and pBluescript vectors. Southern hybridizations indicated that the LdMNPV genome contains five dispersed regions of intragenomic sequence homology. The polyhedrin gene of LdMNPV was located within BglII-E and the sequence of the 735-nucleotide (nt) coding region and 678 nt of flanking DNA was determined. A conserved 14-nt sequence, associated with transcriptional start points in other polyhedrins, was identified at 44 to 57 nt upstream from the start codon. The deduced polyhedrin amino acid (aa) sequence showed a high degree of homology with a previously determined protein sequence for LdMNPV polyhedrin (89%) and with deduced amino acid sequences for three other MNPV polyhedrins (74%). Optimal alignment of the four sequences indicated that LdMNPV polyhedrin possesses a single aa insertion at residue 4 and a single aa deletion at residue 164.

Abstract
A birth-death model developed for pathogens of vertebrates was used to estimate the in vivo rate of increase (alpha) and the doubling time (td) from survival time assay data. Host-pathogen combinations used in this study were two Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolates in Trichoplusia ni and Heliothis zea NPV in H. zea. The alpha's, estimated as he negative reciprocal of the slope of the linearly decreasing section of the plot of median survival times against the logarithm of inoculum concentration, were calculated in two ways. First, simple regression was used to fit a line through the linearly decreasing part using data points selected by eye; secondly, a three-phase segmented linear regression model was used and alpha was estimated from the slope of the middle segment. Estimates of alpha (and td) were 0.338 (2.05), 0.274 (2.53) and 0.243 h-1 (2.85 h) using the simple regression method, and 0.385 (1.80), 0.305 (2.27) and 0.223 h-1 (3.11 h) using the 3-phase segmented linear regression model for AcMNPV-1A, AcMNPV-HOB and HzSNPV, respectively. Although AcMNPV-HOB killed larvae faster (6 to 13 h) than AcMNPV-1A, it multiplied more slowly. Estimates for the critical number ranged from 4.8 x 10(9) to 4.5 x 10(14) genome copies for HzSNPV in H. zea larvae and AcMNPV-1A in T. ni larvae, respectively. The significance of the calculated critical numbers is discussed.

Abstract
This study of conversation was undertaken to test experimentally conclusions reached in earlier work with deaf primary school children and pre-school hearing children. Both of these studies revealed significant negative correlations between a measure of teacher control of the conversations and measures of children's initiative and loquacity. This study was designed to investigate the direction of causality in these correlations. Teachers were asked to change their conversational styles in specific ways with the same pairs of children. On each of five occasions they were to bias their conversations towards one of five "levels of control"--enforced repetitions, two-choice questions, wh-type questions, personal contributions and phatics. The results show that as teachers change style, their children follow them with the predicted changes in initiative and mean length of turn.

Abstract
Characterization of the proteins and nucleic acid of the gypsy moth nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolated in Ithaca, N.Y. (LdNPV-IT) is presented. A total of 29 viral structural proteins were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis when the virus was isolated in the absence of alkaline protease activity. Fourteen surface envelope viral proteins were identified by lactoperoxidase iodination. Eleven proteins were associated with nucleocapsids prepared by Nonidet P-40 detergent treatment. Distinct alterations of viral proteins were documented when virions were purified in the presence of occlusion body-associated alkaline protease(s). Restriction enzyme digests of viral DNA indicated that this isolate was composed of a large number of genetic variants. On the basis of the major molar fragments resulting from

Abstract
In stage 1 classroom conversations between sixteen teachers and their pre-lingually deaf children were videotaped and analysed to examine both the styles used by teachers in controlling conversation and the functions pursued in dialogue. In stage 2 a sub-sample of four teachers with twenty children of known hearing losses and non-verbal intelligence was analysed in greater detail to examine relationships between these factors, teaching styles and the child's performance in dialogue. The analyses show that deaf children respond in a similar fashion to young hearing children in the way they react to different styles of teacher talk; that teachers differ in the functions they pursue in conversation; and that functions change as a consequence of the child's hearing loss but not mental age. The implications of the findings for linguistic development in pre-lingually deaf children are explored.
