Monitoring of Viral-Induced Cell Death Using Real-Time Cell Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TCID50 is a measure of infectious viral titre in a sample. Traditionally this assay has been carried out using a microscopy based assay. This assay is highly subjective and relies on the correct identification of cytopathic effect (CPE) by eye. To ascertain whether the xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) platform could be used to deliver a more objective and robust measure of TCID50, a comparative study of the two methods was carried out. Two viruses were analysed, Gan Gan and Holmes Jungle, members of family Bunyaviridae and Rhabdoviridae respectively. The RTCA method gave results very close to the traditional method and was significantly quicker and easier to analyse. The RTCA method also has the potential to provide additional useful information about the viral infection of cells.

Expression Analysis of Interferon Beta Level in HEK293T Cells Using Real-Time PCR and Protein Tests
Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 protease 3C induces cell death in eukaryotic cells
Abstract: Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. The viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. Most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3C. The 3C protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. To understand the mecha...
