Plaque formation with simian virus 40: enhancement by dimethyl sulfoxide.
نویسنده
چکیده
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) added to agar overlays during plaque assays of simian virus 40 (SV40) in CV1 monkey cells increases the plaque size and number and enables plaques to be read several days earlier than usual. DMSO appears to act during development of plaques, perhaps by causing cell lysis at smaller burst sizes in the presence of near-lethal DMSO concentrations. It does not act synergistically in determining virus inactivation with UV light and is equally effective on wild type and a late mutant of SV40.

Enhancement of viral oncogenicity by the prior administration of dimethyl sulfoxide.
The i.m. injection of dimethyl sulfoxide prior to the infection of quail with Rous sarcoma virus strain 0 and of mice with Moloney sarcoma virus resulted in increased virus titers, decreased incubation time to tumors and, in the case of Moloney sarcoma virus, decreased spontaneous regressions. Dimethyl sulfoxide administered at the time of or after infection was without effect. This compound al...

متن کاملEffects of Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Mutations on the Folding of Abeta(25-35) Peptide: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The 25-35 fragment of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is a naturally occurring proteolytic by-product of its larger parent molecule that retains the amyloid characteristics and toxicity of the full length parent molecule. Aggregation of this peptide occurs rapidly in aqueous solutions and thus characterization of its folding process is very difficult. In the present study, early stages of Aβ(25–35) ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a novel plaque reduction neutralisation test for hantavirus infection
In the Americas, hantaviruses cause severe cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) with a high fatality rate. Hantavirus infection is commonly diagnosed using serologic techniques and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. This paper presents a novel plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) for detecting antibodies to Brazilian hantavirus. Using PRNT, plaque detection was enhanced by addin...
