An immortalized human fibroblast cell line is permissive for human cytomegalovirus infection.
Human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) were immortalized via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer of the E6 and E7 genes of human papillomavirus type 16. An immortalized fibroblast (IF) cell line which was morphologically akin to the parental cell line was isolated. The IF cell line was evaluated for permissiveness to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection after the IF cell line surpassed the normal pas...
متن کاملGrowth and Isolation of Human Cytomegalovirus on a New Human Fetal Foreskin Fibroblast-derived Cell Line in Iran
Cell culture technique has been used for detection and confirmation of many different viruses in clinical samples. Although, new diagnostic methods have been developed for viral infections, traditional cell culturetechnique is still regarded as the “gold standard” for several infectious agents such as human cytomegalovirus(HCMV). In the present study, a new human fetal foreskin fibr...
متن کاملInfectious human papillomavirus type 31b: purification and infection of an immortalized human keratinocyte cell line.
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are aetiological agents of human malignancies, most notably cervical cancers. The life-cycles of HPVs are dependent on epithelial differentiation, and this has impeded many basic studies of HPV biology. The organotypic (raft) culture system supports epithelial differentiation such that infectious virions are synthesized in raft tissues from epithelial cells that re...
متن کاملAdult human heart microvascular endothelial cells are permissive for non-lytic infection by human cytomegalovirus.
OBJECTIVE Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been linked to chronic heart disease. The mechanism of CMV dissemination to the heart remains unknown. CMV antigens and nucleic acid sequences have been detected in endothelial cells (ECs) in vivo, and ECs are fully permissive hosts to CMV replication in vitro. This report examines the characteristics of CMV replication in primary cultures of ...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Effects of Bee Venom in Human Synovial Fibroblast Cell Line
As in Iranian traditional medicine, bee venom (BV) is a promising treatment for the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which is considered as a problematic human chronic inflammatory disease in the present time. Smoking is considered to be a major risk factor in RA onset and severity. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of BV on cigarette smoke-induced inflammatory response in fibro...
