[Inhibition of adenovirus reproduction in cell culture by specific antibodies].

The capacity of specific antibodies to inhibit the reproduction of homo- and heterologous adenoviruses in Hela cell added to culture medium after virus adsorption was studied. The inhibiting effect of polyclonal antivirus and monospecific antihexone antibodies to homo- and heterologous adenoviruses was shown. The effect was more expressed when using antibodies to homologous antibodies. The intensity of inhibition depended on antibodies concentration in the medium and infecting dose of the virus. Essential reduction of the quantity of infected cells and a decrease of the titer of adenovirus synthesized in the presence of homo- and heterologous antibodies was shown but adenovirus reproduction was not inhibited completely.

[Detection of antiadenoviral antibodies by surface plasmon resonance].

A possibility to detect antiadenoviral antibodies by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was demonstrated. Immobilization on the surface of a sensor of the hexone or degraded purified adenovirus of one of the types (Ad 2) allows finding antibodies to the hexone antigenic determinants of wide specificity common for human adenoviruses of different types. Optimum conditions for immobilization of the antigen and formation of the complex antigen-antibody are determined. The comparative assays of the levels of antibodies in rabbit antisera obtained to the hexone and adenoviruses of different types (1, 2 and 6) by SPR and ELISA was analyzed. The biosensor was used to detect antiadenoviral antibodies in the blood sera of children with aggravation of chronic nonspecific broncho-pulmonary diseases. The sensitivity of SPR in comparison with ELISA was 86.9%, in comparison with the method of fluorescing antibodies (MFA)--89.5%.

Elaboration of optical immunosensors based on the surface plasmon resonance for detecting specific antibodies and antigens of Epstein-Barr virus and human adenovirus.

The study of antigen-antibody interaction on the model of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and second type adenovirus (Ad2) based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was carried out. Kinetic and concentration dependences between virus antigens and specific antisera to them at different pH were determined. Experimental samples of biosensors for the detection by SPR method of virus (EBV and Ad2) antigens using monospecific antibodies, immobilized on the surface of gold, and also for detection of specific antibodies in the blood sera of patients with EBV or adenovirus infection were elaborated

[Research of modulation of CD95-mediated apoptosis in lymphoblastic MP-1 and BJAB cells infected by adenovirus and Epstein-Barr virus].

Model systems of infecting limphoblastic MP-1 and BJAB cells by Epstein-Barr virus, 5 serotype adenovirus and double infection are developed. A rather high level of accumulation of DNA of these viruses in the cells in dynamics at monoinfection and inhibition interference at multi-infection was shown by PCR method. The influence of virus infection on proliferative activity was studied. The stimulation of cells growth in the system BJAB + EBV was detected, and double infecting inhibited the process by 50%. The 25% difference in development of apoptosis process between cells infected by adenovirus and EBV was established when defining CD95-mediated apoptosis in infected MP-1 cells. The infecting of BJAB cells by viruses had a scarce effect on the processes of spontaneous apoptosis, but the data on CD95-mediated apoptosis at EBV infection testify to inhibition of this process both at a monoinfection, and at a double infection. The work was performed in the framework of the fundamental agreement of Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine F7/366-2001, and grant INTAS N011-2382.

[Detection of antigen-antibody interaction of human adenovirus by the method of surface plasmon resonance].

A possibility to detect adenoviral protein--hexon, using specific antibodies by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was demonstrated. The hexon of the human adenovirus 2 (Ad2) binds to antibodies immobilized on the sensor surface treated by KNCS and protein A Staphylococcus aureus. The specificity of antihexon antibodies was demonstrated by indirect method of fluorescent antibodies (MFA) and cellular variant of the immunoassay (cELISA).

The results from comparative studies in the reactions of immunofluorescence, complement binding, diffusion precipitation, hemagglutination, solid-phase immunoenzyme analysis, histochemical variant of immunoenzyme analysis as tests for detection of cattle rotavirus in the process of its isolation from pathological material and adaptation to cell cultures are presented. The immunofluorescence reaction is shown to have an advantage over the other reactions.
