چکیده

Conventional tube cell culture was compared with a 2 day and 5 day spin-amplified shell vial indirect immunofluorescence assay for the detection of mumps virus in swabs from the area of Stensen's duct. The sensitivity and specificity of the shell vial assay were 95.9 and 100%, respectively. The shell vial detected 66.3% of the positive cultures within 2 days of inoculation while the first positive results were available by conventional tube cell culture after 3 days (1.6%) reaching 72.4% of all culture positive specimens after 7 days. These data suggest that a centrifugation shell vial indirect immunofluorescence assay may be useful for rapid detection of mumps virus in clinical specimens.

Effect of dexamethasone on detection of herpes simplex virus in clinical specimens by conventional cell culture and rapid 24-well plate centrifugation.

During a 4-month period, two methods for rapid detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) were examined: (i) pretreatment of A549 cells with dexamethasone for conventional tissue culture (277 specimens) and (ii) 24-well plate centrifugation using A549 cells with and without dexamethasone pretreatment and staining with serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (Syva Co., Palo Alto, Calif.) after incu...

Comparison of rapid centrifugation assay with conventional tissue culture method for isolation of dengue 2 virus in C6/36-HT cells.

A rapid centrifugation assay was compared with conventional tube cell culture for dengue virus isolation in both sera and autopsy samples from dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome fatal cases. The rapid centrifugation assay allowed isolation of virus from 16.6% more samples than the conventional method, and it shortened the time for dengue virus detection. Finally, it allow...

Comparison of two rapid culture methods for detection of cytomegalovirus in clinical specimens.

The conventional virus isolation technique was compared with a 24-h shell vial centrifugation culture technique and with a 48-h tube culture method for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in MRC-5 cells. Of 200 clinical specimens tested, 41 were positive for CMV by at least one procedure. Indirect immunoperoxidase staining was positive for 32 (78.0%) of 41 specimens in the tube culture metho...

Comparison of standard tube and shell vial cell culture techniques for the detection of cytomegalovirus in clinical specimens.

A monoclonal antibody was used to detect an early antigen of cytomegalovirus (CMV) by fluorescence 16 h after inoculation of MRC-5 monolayers in 1-dram (ca. 3.7-ml) shell vials and low-speed centrifugation. Of 770 specimens (urine, blood, lung tissue, sputum) processed in shell vials, 124 (16%) were positive for the virus at 16 h postinfection. CMV was isolated in standard tube cell cultures (a...

Rapid detection of herpes simplex virus in clinical specimens by centrifugation and immunoperoxidase staining.

The effect of immunoperoxidase staining and centrifugation on the sensitivity and rapidity of herpes simplex virus detection in mink lung cell cultures was determined with 730 clinical specimens. In standard tube cultures, the use of immunoperoxidase staining resulted in detection of 31 (91%) of 34 positive cultures after overnight incubation, compared with 25 (74%) detected without the stain (...
