Abstract
Studies were carried out on the effects of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and their derivatives upon herpes simplex virus (type 1), the relationship between their structure and antiviral activity and the mechanism of this activity. All alkaloids used in these experiments were biosynthesized from N-benzylphenethylamine; the apogalanthamine group was synthesized in our laboratory; those which may eventually prove to be antiviral agents had a hexahydroindole ring with two functional hydroxyl groups. Benzazepine compounds were neither cytotoxic nor antiviral, but many structures containing dibenzazocine were toxic at low concentrations. It was established that the antiviral activity of alkaloids is due to the inhibition of multiplication and not to the direct inactivation of extracellular viruses. The mechanism of the antiviral effect could be partly explained as a blocking of viral DNA polymerase activity.

Abstract
Virus-induced vesicles evolved early in the Kunjin virus replication cycle around 9 to 10 h p.i. just before the end of the latent period in infected Vero cells. About 2 h following the appearance of the vesicles, microtubule paracrystals were also formed. These two virus-induced structures seemed interlinked and have essential roles in Kunjin virus replication. A viral protein NS3 was found to be associated with the microtubule component of the cells. When vinblastine sulphate was added to the cells immediately after infection, formation of the paracrystals was delayed by two hours, and the affiliation of NS3 protein was also observed to be rearranged.

Abstract
Alterations in mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) production and composition were induced by exposure of mammary tumor cells to cytodisruptive agents. Treatment with 2.1 microM cytochalasin D (CD) for 24 h reduced MMTV yield by 80% and electron microscopic examination of these cells did not reveal budding virions. Immune precipitation and quantitative immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that CD had no significant effect on MMTV polypeptide synthesis or surface expression suggesting that CD inhibited late steps in MMTV maturation. Decreases in MMTV production were also observed as a result of 24 h exposure of the cells to 2.1 microM cytochalasin B (CB). However, an initial 70% increase in the levels of extracellular virions within the first 18 h of treatment preceded diminution of virus production. In addition, CB was unable to abrogate maturation and release of MMTV particles as revealed by electron microscopic evaluation of thin sections of treated cells. Colcemid at 0.28 microM had no effect on virus production during the first 24 h of exposure although MMTV yield was reduced by 60-70% after 36 h of treatment. Polypeptide profiles of MMTV purified from cell cultures treated with any of the three cytodisruptive agents were altered and included 5-7 polypeptides not typically present in MMTV from untreated cells. These cytodisruptive agents did not significantly affect viability and protein metabolism of MJY-alpha cells; the data suggest that alterations in MMTV replication were due to disruption of the cellular cytoskeleton.

Abstract
To obtain information about cytoplasmic structures and functions involving the entry of simian virus 40 virions into cells, we examined whether the inhibitors that affect the functions and/or structure of lysosomes, cell membrane, and cytoskeletons inhibit expression of nuclear T antigen in the SV40-inoculated rat 3Y1 and monkey CV-1 cells. Chloroquine, methylamine, and butylamine did not inhibit T-antigen expression, suggesting that lysosomal acidification is not required for establishment of infection. Cytochalasin B had no effect, suggesting that microfilaments are not involved. Monensin, colcemid, and amantadine each inhibited T-antigen expression at doses causing no obvious cytotoxicity. Maximal inhibition was seen when these inhibitors were added to the cultures within 1 hr (monensin), within 4 hr (colcemid), or within 12 hr (amantadine) after virion adsorption to the cell surface. When the inhibitor was present in the virus-inoculated cultures for 24 hr and then removed, nuclear T antigen began to be expressed at 4 hr (monensin), 9 hr (colcemid), or 1 hr (amantadine) after removal of the inhibitors. Results of SDS-PAGE analysis of immunoprecipitated radiolabeled proteins of infected cells revealed that amantadine inhibited synthesis of large and small T antigens as well as general protein synthesis. Inhibition by colcemid may be due to disruption of microtubules, because other microtubule-disrupting agents (colchicine, vinblastine, nocodazole, and podophyllotoxin) also inhibited appearance of nuclear T antigen but lumicolchicine and taxol did not. Electron microscopy revealed that, in the presence of colcemid, although the adsorbed virions were readily internalized to form pinosomes, vectorial movement of the pinosomes to the nucleus appeared to be inhibited. Results of electron microscopy also suggest that inhibition by monensin may occur mainly in internalization of adsorbed virions and that the inhibition is leaky such that the early steps of infection proceed slowly in the presence of monensin. We conclude that monensin, colcemid, and amantadine interfere with mutually different early events of SV40 infection.

Abstract
Progressive ascending myelitis was the presenting feature of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in a homosexual man who also had Kaposi's sarcoma, Pneumocystis pneumonia, and disseminated cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Neuropathological studies showed profuse cytomegalic cells throughout the brain and spinal cord, but no inflammatory response. At postmortem examination, CMV and herpes simplex virus, type 2 (HSV-2), were recovered from multiple sites throughout the central nervous system (CNS). HSV-2 was isolated from the anus, but from no other extraneural site; in contrast, pathology typical of CMV was also seen in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, adrenals, and lungs. Although histopathological evidence suggesting prior CMV infection has been seen in the brains of AIDS patients, the virus has never been cultured from the CNS in these immunosuppressed hosts, nor has it been known to infect the spinal cord. The absence of an inflammatory response suggests that the pathogenesis of CNS viral infections is altered in AIDS patients. Evidence for CMV infection of the CNS in AIDS patients is no longer circumstantial.

Abstract
The intracellular transport of the HSV-1 glycoproteins gA/gB, gC and gD has been followed by the indirect immunofluorescence technique (IIF). Infected tissue culture cells were stained with monoclonal antibodies made to the individual glycoproteins and with fluorochrome-coupled wheat germ agglutinin reacting specifically with Golgi apparatus of the cells. Staining of either infected, human fibroblasts or of VERO cells at 9 hours p.i. with antibodies to gA/gB showed a prominent ring-like nuclear fluorescence and distinct staining of the Golgi apparatus in the cells. Antibodies to gC and gD stained mainly the Golgi apparatus and areas close to or at the surface of the cells. By immunocytolysis of HSV-1-infected VERO cells the viral glycoproteins were demonstrable at the surface of cells but growth of infected cells in the presence of either TM or monensin inhibited the expression of most of the viral glycoproteins at the cell surface. Blocking of the glycosylation of the viral glycoproteins with tunicamycin (TM) was followed by accumulation of the core of the glycoproteins gA/gB and gD in granular structures close to the nucleus as seen by immunofluorescence microscopy. Antibodies to gC did also stain granules close to the nucleus but in addition the periphery of the cells were stained. Inhibition of intracellular transport from the Golgi apparatus by the carboxylic ionophore monensin was followed by accumulation of all the HSV-1 glycoproteins in vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus in both human fibroblasts and VERO cells. Our data thus support the hypothesis that the HSV-1 glycoproteins are processed in the Golgi apparatus before the transport to and incorporation into the cell surface membrane of infected cells and into virion envelopes.

Abstract
The release of measles virus was studied in the presence of cytochalasin B (CB), a drug that disrupts actin microfilaments. In the presence of CB, infected cells accumulated infectious virus while virus released from these cultures decreased drastically (up to 99% inhibition). Electron micrographs showed that viral buds were reduced and had an unusual distribution along the cell membrane in CB-treated cultures. CB inhibition of released virus occurred rapidly (within 30 min) and to a full extent even when the drug was added during the final 2 hr of a 48-hr replicative cycle. CB inhibition of cellular functions is reversible and, similarly, inhibition of virus release could be almost completely reversed within 30 min after the drug was removed. Since CB can also inhibit sugar transport and protein glycosylation, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (DG) was used to study the manifestations of glycosylation inhibition. DG inhibited virus production only when added during the first one-third of the replicative cycle and inhibited cell-associated and released virus to an equal extent. Cytochalasin D, which disrupts microfilaments without affecting protein glycosylation, caused an inhibition of virus release analogous to the inhibition caused by CB. Thus, alteration of microfilament structure alters the normal budding process of measles virions. This suggests that microfilaments may play a role in the release of budding virions.

Abstract
Methyl daunosamine inhibited the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 in a dose-dependent manner. The growth of the host Vero cells was not affected by daunosamine levels that had significant antiviral activity (2.5 mM) but was inhibited by concentrations of 5 mM or greater. Methyl daunosamine appears to be unique among the sugars with antiviral activity because at antiviral concentrations it did not inhibit the glycosylation of macromolecules.

Abstract
In the presence of the antibiotic tunicamycin (TM), glycosylation of herpes simplex virus glycoproteins is inhibited and non-glycosylated polypeptides analogous to the glycoproteins are synthesized (Pizer et al., J. Virol. 34:142-153, 1980). The synthesis of viral proteins and DNA occurs in TM-treated cells. By electron microscopy, nucleocapsids can be observed both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm of TM-treated cells; a small number of enveloped virions were observed on the cell surface. Analyses of the proteins in partially purified virus readily detects viral glycoproteins in the control cells, but neither glycoproteins nor nonglycosylated polypeptide analogs were observed in the virus prepared from TM-treated cells. By labeling the surface of infected cells with 125I, viral glycoproteins were detected as soon as 90 min after infection even when protein synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide and glycosylation was blocked with TM. Labeling the proteins synthesized in infected cells with [35S]methionine showed that the surface glycoproteins detected in the cycloheximide- and TM-treated cells were not synthesized de novo after infection, but were placed on the cell surface by the infecting virus. Studies with metabolic inhibitors and a temperature-sensitive mutant blocked early in the infectious cycle showed that glycoproteins gA/gB and gD were synthesized soon after infection, but that the synthesis of gC was delayed. Under conditions of infection, in which gC and its precursor pgC are not produced, we have been able to observe the relationships between the glycosylated polypeptides that correspond to pgA/pgB and the nonglycosylated analog made in the presence of TM.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies HCl and HD1, directed against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoproteins gC and gD, respectively, were evaluated for their ability to passively immunize mice against acute virus-induced neurological disease after footpad inoculation with HSV-1 or herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Control virus-infected mice receiving a single intraperitoneal injection of normal serum died within 7 to 10 days after the spread of virus from footpad to spinal cord and brain. However, a single intraperitoneal injection of either HCl or HD1 antibody protected mice from neurological illness and death when administered to HSV-1 (strain HTZ)-infected mice at either 2 h before virus challenge or at 24 h after virus inoculation. To determine the in vivo specificity of the antibodies, passive transfer studies were performed with mice infected with the MP strain of HSV-1, a mutant of HSV-1 (mP) which is defective in the production of glycoprotein gC. Whereas HD1 antibody decreased the incidence of neurological illness in MP- and mP-infected mice, HCl antibody, which protected mP-infected animals, failed to protect mice infected with the MP strain. When HD1 antibody was administered to HSV-2 (strain G)-infected mice at either 2 h before virus challenge or at 6 h (but not 24 h) after virus inoculation, 100% of the infected animals receiving HD1 antibody survived. In contrast, 100% of HSV-2 (strain G)-infected animals passively immunized with HCl antibody developed neurological illness and died. These results provide in vivo evidence that the HSV-induced glycoprotein gC expresses type-specific antigenic determinants, whereas glycoprotein gD expresses type-common determinants.

Abstract
The ability of cytochalasin D (CD) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to enhance parainfluenza I (6/94) virus replication was studied in various cell culture systems. Treatment of CV1 cells with CD (1 microgram/ml) dissolved in DMSO prior to primary 6/94 virus exposure at 10(0)--10(5) multiplicities of infection did not substantially enhance virus replication. However, there was a transient increase in cell associated virus one day after infection of DMSO-treated cultures. CD treatment of cultures of human brain cells latently infected with 6/94 virus (LIHB cells) did not enhance 6/94 virus detection. Cocultivation of CV1 cells with CD-treated LIHB cell cultures, and cocultivation of LIHB cell cultures with CD-treated CV1 cells, resulted in the production of both cell-associated and cell-free 6/94 virus three and five days after cocultivation. No virus was detected after similar cocultivation of untreated LIHB cell cultures with untreated CV1 cells. The usefulness of CD-DMSO treatment in the rescue of virus from 6/94 LIHB cell cultures appears limited to a cocultivation system. The use of these techniques to enhance virus rescue from human tissues suspected of harboring latent viral genomes is discussed.
