Comparison of agar and agarose preparations for mengovirus plaque formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An agarose overlay yielded mengovirus plaques earlier and in greater size and number than overlays of chemically undefined agars with or without enhancers. Marked variability in plaque-forming efficacy of commercial agarose preparations was noted.

The virus of encephalomyocarditis (EMC), examined by the negative-contrast method, is indistinguishable from the serologically related Mengovirus. The particles are 270 to 280 A in diameter. The surface of EMC is composed of an undetermined number of subunits. Frequent sampling of infected cells was carried out throughout one-step cycles of viral multiplication to observe cytopathic changes occ...

A.GAROSE, tile niain compollent of agar, has recently become of great interest in biologic research. This interest is due to the superior meellanical qualities of agarose-gels at low concentrations aI1d to their neutral character. Agarose has found applicatioll as a useful matrix for immunodiffusion (1), electrophoresis (2-4) and as an overlay for VjruS titrations with the ‘‘plaque tecilIliqile...
متن کاملComparison of starch, agarose, and agar for plaquing Venezuelan encephalitis virus.
Although agar has been widely used for plaque assays of animal viruses, it is an ill-defined substance containing acid polysaccharides that inhibit growth of some viruses, including arboviruses (H. Liebhaber and K. K. Takemoto, Virology 14:502, 1961; I. T. Schulse and R. W. Schlesinger, Virology 19:49, 1963). Thus, it was necessary for studies of Venezuelan encephalitis (VE) virus in chicken em...

In order to adapt LaSota strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) on chick embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells, 0.1 ml from LaSota vaccine produced in Razi vaccine and serum research institute inoculated to the CEF cells and was passaged five times in the CEF grown in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (MEM). First to third passages were blind but in fourth passage cytopathic effect of virus was observe...
متن کاملDipyridamole reversibly inhibits mengovirus RNA replication.
Dipyridamole is an effective inhibitor of cardiovirus growth in cell culture. The effects of dipyridamole on mengovirus replication in vivo and in vitro were examined in the hope the drug could be used as an experimental analog of the poliovirus inhibitor guanidine. Guanidine selectively inhibits poliovirus RNA synthesis but not RNA translation, and as such, has been a valuable research tool. A...
