Abstract

Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) mRNAs are found in macrophages in lymph nodes and peritoneal exudate cells from ADV-infected mink. Therefore, we developed an in vitro infection system for ADV by using primary cultures of mink macrophages or macrophage cell lines. In peritoneal macrophage cultures from adult mink, virulent ADV-Utah I strain showed nuclear expression of viral antigens with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled ADV-infected mink serum, but delineation of specific viral proteins could not be confirmed by immunoblot analysis. Amplification of ADV DNA and production of replicative-form DNA were observed in mink macrophages by Southern blot analysis; however, virus could not be serially propagated. The human macrophage cell line U937 exhibited clear nuclear expression of viral antigens after infection with ADV-Utah I but not with tissue culture-adapted ADV-G. In U937 cells, ADV-Utah I produced mRNA, replicative-form DNA, virion DNA, and structural and nonstructural proteins; however, virus could not be serially passaged nor could [3H]thymidine-labeled virions be observed by density gradient analysis. These findings indicated that ADV-Utah I infection in U937 cells was not fully permissive and that there is another restricted step between gene amplification and/or viral protein expression and production of infectious virions. Treatment with the macrophage activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate after adsorption of virus reduced the frequency of ADV-positive U937 cells but clearly increased that of human macrophage line THP-1 cells. These results suggested that ADV replication may depend on conditions influenced by the differentiation state of macrophages. U937 cells may be useful as an in vitro model system for the analysis of the immune disorder caused by ADV infection of macrophages.
