Growth characteristics of Tyzzer's organism in cultured mouse hepatocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth characteristics of Tyzzer's organisms in cultured mouse hepatocytes were examined by direct bacterial counting and plaque assay. The viability of propagated bacteria and time required for the maximum titers depended on incubation time and inoculum dose, respectively. Both infectious titers and bacterial counts at optimum harvests were much higher than those obtained from infected mouse livers. Immunofluorescence revealed, after a lag phase of about 2 h, a linear multiplication during a 6 h period.

Enhanced invasion of Tyzzer's organism into cultured mouse hepatocytes by cytochalasin D.
The effects of cytoskeleton inhibitors on the invasion of Tyzzer's organism, an obligate intracellular bacterium, into cultured mouse hepatocytes were examined by double immunofluorescence observation and plaque assay. The two techniques gave comparable results. Invasion of bacteria was significantly enhanced by cytochalasin D, a microfilament disrupting drug, and markedly suppressed by vinblas...
متن کاملInitial phase of infection with Tyzzer's organism in cultured mouse hepatocytes.
The initial phase of infection with Tyzzer's organisms in cultured mouse hepatocytes was observed using indirect immunofluorescence (IF) and a plaque assay. The organisms adhered poorly to aldehyde- or acetone-fixed cells, but once adhered to host cells, whether methanol-fixed or unfixed, they were not removed by methanol or acetone. By the IF as well as the plaque assay, both of which discrimi...
متن کاملP-173: Evaluation of The Follicular Growth after Mouse Ovarian Organ Culture in The Medium Supplemented with Growth Differentiation Factor-9B (GDF-9B)
Background: Growth differentiation factor -9B (GDF-9B) is an oocyte derived growth factor, this protein is essential for development of ovarian follicles and act mainly by binding to its receptor on the surface of granulosa cells. The effect of this factor on the growth of follicles in various developmental stages particularly primordial and primary follicles is unknown. The aim of this study w...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of Growth Factors on the Development of Pre-implantation Embryos of Vitrified Mouse
Purpose: To improve the development of frozen mouse embryos by adding fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and hepatocytes (HGF) to the culture medium. Materials and Methods: Two-cell mouse embryos obtained from the fallopian tube and frozen by cryotopic method were treated in T6 medium with a dose of 20 ng / ml FGF and 20 ng / ml HGF. The results of their culture were compared with control groups a...
متن کاملTransplanted hepatocytes proliferate differently after CCl4 treatment and hepatocyte growth factor infusion.
To understand regulation of transplanted hepatocyte proliferation in the normal liver, we used genetically marked rat or mouse cells. Hosts were subjected to liver injury by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), to liver regeneration by a two-thirds partial hepatectomy, and to hepatocellular DNA synthesis by infusion of hepatocyte growth factor for comparative analysis. Transplanted hepatocytes were doc...
