Virus susceptibility of the fish cell line SAF-1 derived from gilt-head seabream.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recently reported SAF-1 cell line from fins of gilt-head seabream was evaluated for susceptibility to lymphocystis disease virus (LDV) and to several salmonid fish viruses, such as infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), viral haemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) and several strains of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). LDV, VHSV and IHNV replicated well in the cultured fin cells as demonstrated by cell lysis and increases in viral titer. The potential use of this cell line to detect viruses from fish marine species is discussed.

Detection of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) in asymptomatic cultured gilt-head seabream (Sparus aurata, L.) using an immunoblot technique.
An immunoblot technique for the detection of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) in naturally infected gilt-head seabream (Sparus aurata, L.) has been developed. A specific antiserum against a 60 kDa viral protein has been proven to be an appropriate tool for LCDV diagnosis either from inoculated cell cultures or from fish tissues using the immunoblot assay. The sensitivity of this technique vari...
متن کاملSusceptibility of the fish cell line SAF-1 to betanodavirus.
Betanodavirus infections of fish, generally known as viral nervous necrosis or viral encephalopathy and retinopathy, are a serious threat to marine fish farming throughout the world (Munday, Kwang & Moody 2002). The culture of betanodavirus has proved complex because most commonly available fish cell lines do not allow the growth of these viruses, as reviewed by Munday & Nakai (1997). The diffi...
متن کاملIsolation of lymphocystis disease virus from sole, Solea senegalensis Kaup, and blackspot sea bream, Pagellus bogaraveo (Brunnich).
Two viruses were isolated from cultured sole, Solea senegalensis, and wild blackspot sea bream, Pagellus bogaraveo, and preliminarily characterized as lymphocystis disease viruses (LCDVs). Viral isolates were characterized by morphological, biochemical and biophysical properties. In addition, the susceptibility of four fish cell lines was also tested. LCDV isolates developed cytopathic effects ...
متن کاملProtein and glycoprotein content of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV).
The polypeptide and glycoprotein composition of eight strains of the fish-pathogenic lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) isolated from gilt-head seabream (Sparus aurata), blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo), and sole (Solea senegalensis) were determined. The protein electrophoretic patterns of all LCDV isolates were quite similar regardless of the host fish, showing two major proteins (79.9 a...
متن کاملBiogenic Fish-gut Calcium Carbonate is a Stable Amorphous Phase in the Gilt-head Seabream, Sparus aurata
The main source of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in the ocean comes from the shells of calcifying planktonic organisms, but substantial amounts of CaCO₃ are also produced in fish intestines. The precipitation of CaCO₃ assists fish in intestinal water absorption and aids in whole body Ca²⁺ homeostasis. Here we report that the product formed in the intestinal lumen of the gilt-head seabream, Sparus a...
