Abstract
We used three-color fluorescent labeling and confocal microscopy to compare the permissive and the antibody-mediated, restricted replication of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV). In both permissive (CRFK cells) and restricted (K562 cells) situations, both ADV non-structural proteins (NS1 and NS2) concentrated at focal sites in the nucleus, which also contained viral DNA. Bromodeoxyuridine labeling demonstrated that these sites also supported active ADV single-strand DNA synthesis, indicating that they were replication compartments. ADV capsid proteins were located in intranuclear shells surrounding the replication compartments. At later time points, NS2 was readily detected in the cytoplasm of permissively infected CRFK cells, whereas the cytoplasmic presence of NS2 was much less pronounced in the K562 cells. These results showed that both permissive and restricted ADV replication are associated with a tight nuclear subcompartmentalization of viral products. Furthermore, differences between the permissive and restricted virus–cell interactions were noted, suggesting that there may be a morphological basis for examining the outcome of ADV infection.
