Cultivation of the Virus of Grasserie in Silkworm Tissue Cultures

نویسنده

چکیده

A medium has been developed in which certain cells from the gonads of female silkworms multiply and live for periods of 2 to 3 weeks. In such tissue cultures, strains of silkworm grasserie virus were maintained in successive passages up to the number of ten. The virus multiplied greatly and typical polyhedral bodies formed in the cells of infected cultures.

Susceptibility of three Eco-races of tropical Tasar silkworm to Antheraea mylitta cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (AmCPV)

Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. is common and there is a breed specific response regarding tolerance. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Daba, Sarihan and Raily to Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus...

Nanoparticle-virus complex shows enhanced immunological effect against baculovirus.

Insects protect themselves from majority of infections by a non-specific innate immune system (present in both vertebrates and invertebrates). Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV), a baculovirus, causing the deadly grasserie disease is a scourge to silkworm industry and we report here the first success in combating this disease with the help of a nanosilica-virus complex. Hydrophobic ...

Purification and characterization of antiviral protein from silkworm fecal matter

Antiviral proteins (AVP), present in silkworm fecal matter, show activity against nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in vitro and in vivo. The extract of silkworm fecal matter prepared in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.5 was subjected to 50% solid ammonium sulfate precipitation to enrich AVP, then which was dialyzed. The dialysate was applied to the column containing silica gel-G, the column e...

Replication Characteristics of Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 (HSV-1) Recombinants in 3 Types of Tissue Cultures

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...
