Replication of variola virus in suspended cultures of mammalian cells.

چکیده
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 used. Although the nonviable cell population remained low during the course of infection with an intermediate amount of virus, with an inoculum of 10(5) infectious units per ml or higher, the percentage of nonviable cells increased rapidly and by the sixth day after infection the population was totally nonviable. Intracellular replication of variola virus occurred early and rapidly in a spinner culture of guinea pig lung cells, whereas the liberation of virus into the suspending medium was a more gradual process. Several complete medium changes tend to maintain a suitable environment for the infected cell culture resulting in fairly high and constant viral titers over a period of 7 days.

A complication in the analysis of the role of ICP34.5 gene in the herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) lifecycle is the presence of overlapping antisense gene, open reading frame P (ORF P), which is also deleted in HSV-1 ICP34.5 negative mutants. A HSV-1 wild type strain (17+) ICP34.5/ORF P deletion mutant (1716) is totally avirulent in animal models and impaired in a number of in vitro function...

Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...

Introduction: Avian influenza viruses are considered as a serious threat to human and animal health. An increase in expression of proinflammatory cytokines and type I IFN genes, as well as host cell death responses contribute to the pathogenesis of influenza infection. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the growth dynamics of subacute avian influenza virus in human respiratory alveolar epithel...
