Published: March 1994

The LPS patterns of 231 H.p. strains were studied by using SDS-PAGE. The strains were isolated from the nasal mucous membrane of clinical healthy animals, from animals with GK and from animals with pneumonia without any symptoms of GK. The LPS patterns of H.p. strains consists of 2 to 4 bands of high electrophoretical mobility. In all it was possible to distinguish seven different LPS electrophoretic profiles. The distribution of the H.p. isolates from clinically healthy animals and animals with GK or pneumonia to the 7 LPS electrophoretic profiles shows a similar picture. Variation in the growth conditions showed a process of a standardization of the LPS structure as a result of an increased CO2 atmosphere or lack of O2 respectively.

Introduction: Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) is a highly contagious alpha-herpes virus. The diagnosis of chickenpox remains a difficult task especially in cases of breakthrough chickenpox, so the development of reliable laboratory tests is necessary. The simplest and most sensitive serological test for detecting antibodies in human and animal sera is the passive hemagglutination reaction (PHAR).

Oncolytic viruses represent a promising class of immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malignant tumors. The proposed mechanism of action of various oncolytic viruses has initially been explained by the ability of such viruses to selectively lyse tumor cells without damaging healthy ones. Recently, there have emerged more studies determining the effect of the antiviral immunostimulating mechanisms on the effectiveness of treatment in cancer patients.

Annual epidemics of influenza result in 3-5 million cases of severe illness and more than 600 000 deaths. Severe forms of influenza are usually characterized by vascular endothelial cells damage. Thus, influenza A viruses, including subtypes A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), as well as highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, can infect the vascular endothelium, leading to activation and subsequent dysfunction of these cells.
