Complete development ofCryptosporidium parvumin MDBK cells

Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis adhesion to MDBK cells.

Serum-Free Systems for MDBK and MDCK Epithelial Cells

Vaccines developed from viruses grown in mammalian cell cultures are of major importance in both human and animal health. The economic and sociological losses due to viral infections in human populations and the animal-production industry are significant, and necessitate the use of large-scale vaccination programs. Therefore, efforts are continually underway to improve cell culture systems that...

Sustainable urban development through complete street policy implementation

Nowadays, the expansion of the cities is an inevitable necessity; increasing the dependence of the citizens on motor vehicles and, consequently, making development of the transportation networks a necessity rather than an option. Thus, increasing car ownership and car use has created many problems for the cities, such as increasing greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, casualties o...

Suppression of herpes simplex virus 1 in MDBK cells via the interferon pathway.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) normally undergoes productive infection in culture, causing cell destruction and plaque formation. Here we characterize an unusual pattern of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) infection in MDBK cells which surprisingly results in suppression of replication, cell recovery, and maintenance of virus. Compared to Vero cells, MDBK cells supported a normal productive infection at a high m...

Endocytosis of junctional cadherins in bovine kidney epithelial (MDBK) cells cultured in low Ca2+ ion medium

The release of intercellular contacts in MDBK cells, initiated by the depletion of Ca2+ ions from the culture medium, results in the endocytotic uptake of membrane vesicles containing specific membrane constituents of the zonula adhaerens (ZA). During this process the junction-derived, endocytosed vesicles remain associated with the ZA plaque components, while the plaque and its attached actin ...
