Replication and packaging of Norwalk virus RNA in cultured mammalian cells.
Human noroviruses, the most common cause of nonbacterial gastroenteritis, are characterized by high infectivity rate, low infectious dose, and unusually high stability outside the host. However, human norovirus research is hindered by the lack of a cell culture system and a small animal model of infection. Norwalk virus (NV) is the prototype strain of human noroviruses. We report here replicati...
متن کاملNorwalk virus RNA is infectious in mammalian cells.
Human noroviruses are positive-sense RNA viruses and are the leading cause of epidemic acute viral gastroenteritis in developed countries. The absence of an in vitro cell culture model for human norovirus infection has limited the development of effective antivirals and vaccines. Human histo-blood group antigens have been regarded as receptors for norovirus infection, and expression of the alph...
متن کاملReplication and packaging of Turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA containing Flock house virus RNA1 sequence
Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a spherical plant virus that has a single 6.3 kb positive strand RNA as a genome. In this study, RNA1 sequence of Flock house virus (FHV) was inserted into the TYMV genome to test whether TYMV can accommodate and express another viral entity. In the resulting construct, designated TY-FHV, the FHV RNA1 sequence was expressed as a TYMV subgenomic RNA. Northern...
متن کاملRNA interference-mediated inhibition of Semliki Forest virus replication in mammalian cells.
RNA interference (RNAi) has recently shown promise as a mode of inhibition of slowly replicating viruses causing chronic diseases such as hepatitis C. To investigate whether RNAi is also feasible for rapidly growing RNA viruses such as alphaviruses, we tested the ability of expressed short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) to inhibit the Semliki Forest virus (SFV), a rapidly replicating positive-strand RNA...
متن کاملReplication of variola virus in suspended cultures of mammalian cells.
The studies reported here describe the successful propagation of variola virus in spinner cultures of mammalian cells, and the factors which influence its growth. Five established cell lines were used for the propagation of variola virus in a spinner culture system. Low doses of virus did initiate an infection but virus yields did not approach those obtained when an intermediate inoculum was us...
