RESUMO
Characterization of a temperature-sensitive and live, attenuated human parainfluenza type 3 virus strain (cp45) grown at a permissive temperature (32 degrees C) suggested that the virus efficiently multiplies in cell lines and retains antigenic and functional properties of the envelope glycoproteins. When grown at a nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C), the cp45 virus exhibited poor replication; however, shifting to a permissive temperature allowed virus growth. Although at a nonpermissive temperature virus polypeptide synthesis was significantly reduced, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion glycoproteins were transported to cell surfaces and retained their characteristic biologic activities. Studies on mRNA synthesis from the P protein gene suggested a poor transcriptional activity of the cp45 virus at a nonpermissive temperature. Results from this study indicate that the temperature sensitivity of cp45 virus is related to altered transcriptional activity and a marked reduction in virus polypeptide synthesis.
