Plaque assay of African Horse-Sickness Virus in African Green Monkey Kidney Cell Line

القاء مرگ برنامه‌ریزی شده در سلول‌های اپی‌تلیوم تنفسی انسان آلوده شده با ویروس آنفلوانزا

Introduction: Avian influenza viruses are considered as a serious threat to human and animal health. An increase in expression of proinflammatory cytokines and type I IFN genes, as well as host cell death responses contribute to the pathogenesis of influenza infection. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the growth dynamics of subacute avian influenza virus in human respiratory alveolar epithel...

Poliovirus Particles do not Form in Preinfected Cells with Reovirus

Background and Aims: Inhibition of viral growth in coinfected cells with two different viruses has been described. This phenomenon known as viral interference can occur in several virus host systems such as interference of enterovirus infection on poliovirus vaccine strains. In this study we superinfected reovirus infected HeLa cells with poliovirus to determine if poliovirus can replicate in s...

Venom Components of Iranian Scorpion Hemiscorpius lepturus Inhibit the Growth and Replication of Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1)

Background: During the recent years, significant progress has been achieved on development of novel anti-viral drugs. Natural products are assumed as the potential sources of novel anti-viral drugs; therefore, there are some previous studies reporting the anti-viral compounds from venomous animals. Based on the significant value for tracing of non-toxic anti-viral agents from natural resources,...

Effect of Low–Level Helium-Neon Laser Irradiation on the Release of Interleukin 6 and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor from Cultured Human Fibroblasts in High Glucose Medium

Purpose: Low level laser therapy is suggested as a new therapeutic method in diabetic wound healing. This survey aimed to evaluate the effects of low level laser on human fibroblasts cultured in high glucose cultures. Materials and Methods: The human skin fibroblasts were cultured under standard condition. The cells were cultured in high glucose culture medium (15mM/L) for a week and two weeks ...
