Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in rapidly produced McCoy cell monolayers.
The 24-hour delay between seeding coverslips with cells and inoculating samples for culture of chlamydiae was reduced to less than 1 hour by using coverslips which had been pre-treated with glutaraldehyde-activated gamma-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane. Treated coverslips were not toxic for McCoy cells and even one year after treatment monolayers formed rapidly on them. Furthermore, all of 13 Chlam...
متن کاملResveratrol Inhibits Propagation of Chlamydia trachomatis in McCoy Cells
Resveratrol (RESV), an antifungal compound from grapes and other plants, has a distinct ability to inhibit the Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis developmental cycle in McCoy cells, a classic cell line used for chlamydial research. Inoculation of C. trachomatis with increasing amounts of RESV (from 12.5 to 100 μM) gave a dose-dependent reduction in the number of infected McCoy cells visualized by using...
متن کاملCultivation of Chlamydia trachomatis in cycloheximide-treated mccoy cells.
An isolation technique for Chlamydia trachomatis using McCoy cells is described. In contrast to earlier techniques employing such cells, no pretreatment of the cells was used. The glutarimide antibiotic cycloheximide was added to the culture medium used for incubating the cells after infection. Cycloheximide was used at concentrations that depressed, but did not completely inhibit, the metaboli...
متن کاملAmino acid transport into cultured McCoy cells infected with Chlamydia trachomatis.
Amino acid transport into McCoy cells infected with strains representative of the two major biovars of Chlamydia trachomatis has been studied to determine if uptake is increased during infection. Preliminary work suggested that the transport systems L, A/ASC (for neutral amino acid transport), N (for transport of Asn, Gln, and His) and y+ (for cationic amino acids) were present in McCoy cells. ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Antigen and Antibody in Infertile Women in Ahwaz
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium which causes a wide variety of human infections such as ocular, urogenital and respiratory infections. Genital infections of women, espe-cially when repeated, give rise to many complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and infertility. Since chlamydial infections are usually asymptomatic, they progress unnoticed and produc...
