Abstract
It is characteristic of viral infections that monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes infiltrate infected tissue, and neutrophils are absent. CC and non-ELR CXC chemokines predominantly attract mononuclear leukocytes, whereas the ELR motif-expressing CXC chemokines primarily act on neutrophils. To investigate the general role of chemokines in viral diseases, we determined their release and expression patterns after infection of human monocytes with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Human monocytes were productively infected by VSV. Surprisingly, VSV did not induce the release of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and IL-6. In contrast, we found a strong induction of the CC chemokine monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and the non-ELR CXC chemokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) inducible protein-10 (IP-10) by VSV on the gene and protein level. The expression and release of the neutrophil chemoattractants IL-8 and growth-related oncogene-alpha (GRO-alpha) remained unaffected after VSV infection. Our results indicate that the typical monocyte and lymphocyte-dominated leukocyte infiltration of virus-infected tissue is based on a selective induction of mononuclear leukocyte-attracting chemokines.

Abstract
A method is described for the production and assay of pseudotype viruses between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and Cocal virus (COV), containing an HIV-1 envelope and a COV genome (COV(HIV)). COV(HIV) pseudotype virus is a useful tool for the investigation of a variety of questions regarding HIV entry into susceptible cells, including steps in virus binding, fusion, and internalization, and the role of molecules which inhibit entry. COV, a rhabdovirus closely related to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), replicated and caused cytopathic effect in primary cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), and in human cell lines of lymphocytoid or monocytoid origin, making it an ideal candidate for pseudotype production. 174XCEM cells, which were permissive for selected macrophage-tropic strains as well as most lymphocyte-tropic strains of HIV-1, were used to produce stocks of putative pseudotype virus. To neutralize parental COV in these stocks, a rabbit antiserum was produced which had a neutralization index of > 10(7) at a dilution of 1:100. Using these methods, pseudotype viruses were produced with a titer of about 10(4) PFU per ml; these same stocks contained HIV-1 at a titer of about 10(5) TCD50 per ml and COV at a titer of about 10(8) PFU per ml. CD4-expressing HeLa cells were used to assay pseudotype stocks made with lymphocyte-tropic strains of HIV-1. The authenticity of the pseudotype stocks was validated by several controls, including their failure to register on congenic CD4-negative HeLa cells and their inhibition by monoclonal anti-CD4 antibodies such as Leu 3a.

Abstract
Outbreaks of vesicular stomatitis, serotype New Jersey, during epidemics in the United States and northern Mexico, 1982-5, were examined by backward trajectories of winds to investigate spread and possible sources. The outbreaks selected for analysis did not involve introduction of disease by infected animals. The findings indicate that wind could have been responsible for carrying infection from northern Mexico to Arizona and New Mexico and thence to Colorado and Utah and on to Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. The results of these analyses are consistent with the findings from T1 RNAse fingerprinting of virus isolates from outbreaks during the epidemics. The arrival of the trajectories was associated with the passage of a front and rain or passage of a front alone or rain alone. At the time of the trajectories temperatures of 10 degrees C and higher were recorded at heights up to 2500-3500 m. Introduction by airborne particles would appear unlikely as it would have required a source of at least 10(5) infectious units per minute per animal. Vesicular stomatitis virus had been isolated from Simulium and Culicoides during the epidemic with amounts of virus from Simulium sufficient to suggest biological transmission. The possibility of Simulium infected with vesicular stomatitis virus being carried downwind to introduce disease is discussed in relation to the behaviour of Simulium and the pathogenesis of vesicular stomatitis in large animals.

Abstract
The natural targeting of liposomes to cells of the reticuloendothelial system should be exploited to examine whether selective delivery of antiviral or immunomodulatory agents could be beneficial for the treatment of virus diseases. In this review we discuss the potential use of liposomes in the treatment of virus diseases, the targeting of liposome-encapsulated immunomodulators to macrophages in order to render these cells cytolytic for virus-infected cells, and the targeting of liposome-encapsulated antiviral drugs to macrophages to achieve direct suppression of virus replication with in these cells.

Abstract
Rubella virus was capable of replicating in both unstimulated and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated cultures of human mononuclear blood cells. Monocyte-derived macrophages were the main cell type responsible for viral replication. The susceptibility of macrophages increased during cultivation. Phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes were able to support replication to a limited degree. No viral replication was detected in unstimulated lymphocytes. Both stimulation and viral replication in phytohemagglutinin-treated lymphocyte cultures were enhanced by the addition of murine macrophages. Human leukocyte interferon depressed the production of virus in these combined cultures. The finding that rubella virus is able to replicate in human lymphocytes as well as in macrophages may contribute to understanding the mechanisms of the suppressive effect of the virus on in vitro lymphocyte phytohemagglutinin responsiveness and in vivo immune functions.

Abstract
Human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) were examined for their ability to support growth of several group A arboviruses in vitro. Cells were refractory to infection with eastern (EEE) and western (WEE) equine encephalitis viruses, whereas Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus was shown to infect and replicate to a substantially high titer. When PBL were fractionated into purified subpopulations, only the monocytes were susceptible to predictive VEE virus infection. Lymphocytes treated 24 h before virus inoculation with phytohemagglutinin (10 microgram/ml) were capable of propagating significant amounts of VEE virus. A monocytic cell line, J-111, was also susceptible to infection with VEE, EEE, and WEE viruses, whereas a lymphocytic cell line, Raji, was refractory. Additional information on the participation of PBL during human infection with these viruses may add considerably to our understanding of their differing pathogenicities and clinical pictures.

Abstract
Activated lymphocytes were detected quantitatively by virus plaque assay (VPA) during the course of lymphocyte cultures stimulated by mitogen or alloantigen. In Con A-stimulated cultures, the number of virus-plaque forming cells (V--PFC) was a more sensitive method of detecting the early stage of lymphocyte activation than [3H]-thymidine (3H-TdR) incorporation. This evidence was obtained by two methods of collecting cells of each stage. First, when Con A-activated lymphocytes were fractionated by velocity sedimentation at unit gravity to separate cell populations according to each cell stage, the ratio of the number of V-PFC to the radioactivity of incorporated [3H]-TdR was larger in the earlier stage of cell cycle than in the later stage. Second, when cultured lymphocytes were synchronized directly by addition of excess thymidine and colchicine, similar results were obtained. In primary mixed lymphocyte cultures, the generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) was correlated better with the proliferative response than with V-PFC production. It was also found that both the incorporation of [3H]-TdR and the generation of CTL were abrogated by cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) added to cultures up to one day before assay, whilst the generation of V-PFC was not so markedly affected by Ara-C. These findings suggest that V-PFC represent the number of precursor cells which require one or more generations to differentiate to CTL and not simply the number of effector lymphoyctes already exhibiting cytotoxicity.

Abstract
ECHOvirus 33 isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with agammaglobulinemia was shown to replicate in vitro in peripheral leukocyte suspensions from a normal antibody negative donor. Replication was demonstrated by use of sequential dilution experiments. Washed glass adherent mononuclear cell cultures from a normal antibody negative donor were also capable of supporting ECHOvirus 33 replication in vitro. Leukocyte suspensions from the infected agammaglobulinemic patient extinguished detectable infectious virus in vitro.

Abstract
The ability of leukemic leukocytes to support the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) was studied. Mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) from the peripheral blood of patients with a variety of lymphoid leukemias were isolated on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients and infected with HSV at a multiplicity of infection of 5 to 10. No virus growth was detected in cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (9), acute lymphocytic leukemia (1), or lymphosarcoma cell leukemia (2), HSV replication did occur in hairy cell leukemic MNL from all of 4 patients studied. Maximal titers of 10(3.7) to 10(4.7) PFU/ml occurred 1 to 7 days after incubation. By electron microscopy, herpesvirus particles were seen in the nuclei of these infected cells after 3 days of culture, but none was seen in the cells not exposed to virus. Fluorescent antibody examination confirmed the presence of HSV antigens in the nuclei of infected hairy cells. No difference in the adsorption or penetration of the virus was found with the various MNL studied. Productive infection of the cells thus appeared to depend on the ability of the leukocyte ;o support a later stage of infection, either uncoating or replication of the virus.

Abstract
Virus plaque assay (VPA) was utilized for the quantitative evaluation of activated lymphocytes. We examined what types of cells, especially which of activated T and non-T lymphocytes, were detected as infective centres after infection with vesicular stomatitis virus. Marked increases in DNA synthesis and in virus-plaque forming cells (V-PFC) were observed not only during the activation of T lymphocytes with Con A, but also, though to a lesser extent, during the activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of non-T lymphocyte preparations of nude spleen from which theta-positive lymphocytes and macrophages were completely depleted. The latter observation was further confirmed by the VPA on the populations enriched in LPS-activated non-T lymphocytes fractionated by the unit gravity sedimentation method. Fast sedimenting cells were found to be more active in DNA synthesis and contained more infective centres after infection than those sedimenting slowly and original unfractionated cells. Both the capacity for DNA synthesis and virus-replication were considered to be general properties accompanying lymphocyte activation.

Abstract
Replication of Edmonston strain measles virus was studied in several human lymphoblast lines, as well as in defined subpopulations of circulating human leukocytes. It was found that measles virus can productively infect T cells, B cells, and monocytes from human blood. These conclusions were derived from infectious center studies on segregated cell populations, as well as from ultrastructural analyses on cells labeled with specific markers. In contrast, mature polymorphonuclear cells failed to synthesize measles virus nucleocapsids even after infection at a relatively high multiplicity of infection. Measles virus replicated more efficiently in lymphocytes stimulated with mitogens than in unstimulated cells. However, both phytohemagglutinin and pokeweed mitogen had a negligible stimulatory effect on viral synthesis in purified populations of monocytes. In all instances the efficiency of measles virus replication by monocytes was appreciably less than that of mitogenically stimulated lymphocytes or of continuously culture lymphoblasts. Under standard conditions of infection, all of the surveyed lymphoblast lines produced equivalent amounts of measles virus regardless of the major histocompatibility (HL-A) haplotype. Hence, no evidence was found that the HL-A3,7 haplotype conferred either an advantage or disadvantage with respect to measles virus synthesis in an immunologically neutral environment. A persistent infection with measles virus could be established in both T and B lymphoblasts. The release of infectious virus from such persistently infected cells was stable over a period of several weeks and was approximately 100-fold less than peak viral titers obtained in each respective line after acute infection.

Abstract
Cultures of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated, unstimulated, and frozen and thawed mononuclear (as controls) cells from normal human donors were infected with different viruses. A variable pattern of virus infectivity was noted, and influenza and Coxsackie virus were rapidly inactivated even by stimulated lymphocytes. Direct inactivation by lymphocytes may be one form of host defense in infection by some viruses.

Abstract
A general method is described for enumerating antigen-sensitive lymphocytes obtained from individuals having delayed hypersensitivity, in this case from highly tuberculin-sensitive guinea pigs. The method is based on the observation that resting lymphocytes are generally unable to support replication of RNA viruses, whereas antigen-"activated" lymphocytes can. Lymph node lymphocytes from individual animals were cultured in the presence or absence of tuberculin purified protein derivatives (PPD). After various periods of time, the cells were infected either with Newcastle disease virus or vesicular stomatitis virus, and plated in agar over a monolayer of cells susceptible to the virus. Wherever a lymphocyte yielded infectious virus, a discrete plaque in the monolayer could be seen. The increase in plaques of the antigen-stimulated cells over the background of the control sample was taken as the number of antigen-sensitive cells in the population. When lymphocytes from normal guinea pigs or from guinea pigs immunized to produce only circulating antibody to PPD were similarly tested, no increase in plaque-forming units (PFU) was observed. The average increase in PFU due to antigenic stimulation varied from 1 per 1000 lymphocytes at 24 hr to 16 per 1000 lymphocytes at 96 hr. By employing inhibitors of mitosis (colchicine, vinblastine, and thymidine) it was evident that the increase in PFU at least up to 48 hr was primarily due to initial antigen-reactive cells and not their progeny.

Abstract
Poliovirus replication has been studied in human lymphocytes during the course of blastogenesis under phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation. Enhancement of virus replication in PHA-stimulated leukocyte cultures was due to an increase in number of virus-producing cells. Virus yield was approximately 10 plaque-forming units (PFU) per producing cell, both in stimulated and in nonstimulated cultures. Adsorption and penetration studies showed that freshly drawn lymphocytes (unlike other leukocytes) were resistant to virus infection, but they became susceptible to the virus during PHA stimulation. Also, the eclipse of the virus after penetration was enhanced during blastogenesis of the lymphocytes. Our findings suggested that the monocytes in the leukocyte cultures were infected initially. In PHA-stimulated cultures, the virus then spread to lymphocytes which became susceptible to virus infection during blastogenesis. Polymorphonuclear cells died within 24 to 48 hr after initiation of the cultures and apparently could not support poliovirus replication.

Abstract
The ability of streptolysin S preparations to induce high percentages of transformation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes was confirmed in a series of apparently healthy donors. Transforming activity was not demonstrated in the two media used for streptolysin S production, nor in control preparations in which a strain each of Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus aureus (nonhemolytic), and Diplococcus pneumoniae was substituted for the beta hemolytic streptococcal strain used for streptolysin S production. The relation of the hemolytic activity to the lymphocyte transforming activity of streptolysin S preparations was studied by means of inactivation and fractionation experiments. Heating produced a loss in both activities, but more in the hemolytic than in the transforming activity. The transformation obtained with a heated preparation had a high degree of correlation with that obtained with the unheated preparation in a series of normal subjects and patients with various rheumatic diseases, whose lymphocytes were often less responsive to stimulation with streptolysin S preparations (both heated and unheated) than the lymphocytes of the normal subjects studied. Treatment of streptolysin S preparations with chymotrypsin, vegetable lecithin, or trypan blue (the latter in minute amounts) resulted in preparations with no detectable hemolytic activity but with undiminished lymphocyte transforming activity. Chromatographic fractionations on DEAE-Sephadex columns yielded fractions endowed with transforming but not with hemolytic activity, and other fractions endowed with hemolytic but not with transforming activity. The recovery of the hemolytic activity was not complete and quantitation of the recovery of the transforming activity was not attempted. These experiments indicate that the hemolytic and transforming activities of streptolysin S preparations are independent of each other, and specifically that they are the attributes of two different streptococcal products, one of which is streptolysin S. The other is a nonhemolytic streptococcal product present in streptolysin S preparations but previously unrecognized. Some implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
The mitogenic agent, phytohemagglutinin (PHA), added to human mixed leukocyte cultures and to lymphocyte cultures converted small lymphocytes into lymphoblasts and increased lymphocyte susceptibility to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Maximum virus yields were 30- to 1,000-fold higher in PHA-treated than in control cultures. VSV replicated to peak titers before lymphocytes were morphologically transformed by PHA, and virus titers fell as lymphoblast destruction began. PHA neither induced significant VSV replication in polymorphonuclear leukocyte cultures, nor increased the large virus yields in monocyte cultures. The treatment of PHA with heat, digestive enzymes, rabbit anti-PHA serum and serial dilutions failed to dissociate that portion of the PHA extract responsible for the conversion of lymphocytes into virus-susceptible cells from those components responsible for leukoagglutination or lymphocyte transformation.
