Plaque assay of rabies virus on porcine kidney cell monolayers.

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

Plaque formation by influenza viruses in a clonal line of porcine kidney cells.

MATSUDA, S. and YAOI, H. Plaque Formation by Influenza Viruses in a Clonal Line of Porcine Kidney Cells. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1971, 103(2), 217-219 -The plaque formation by several strains of influenza virus was investigated in a clonal cell line of procine kidney (PS, clone Y-15). Among strains tested, PR8, NWS, and Lee formed well defined plaques and showed a linear dose response relationship...

Cloning and expression of fragment of the rabies virus nucleoprotein gene in Escherichia coli and evaluation of antigenicity of the expression product

Rabies virus nucleoprotein (N protein) encapsidates genomic RNA of the virus and forms the viral ribonucleoprotein complex. These N proteins represent highly organized structures which activate proliferation of B cells and production antibodies against the N protein. In addition to the B cell, the rabies virus N protein has been shown to induce potent T helper cell responses resulting in a long...

Evaluation of the Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Induction of Neutraliz-ing Antibodies against Inactivated Rabies Virus

  Background: Nanoparticles have been considered as promising tools because of their high applicability. Recently, nanoparticles have been evaluated for their ability to increase the immune responses as adjuvants. Silver-nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown promising results in enhancing Th-2 immune responses and to produce potent neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies are considered as t...

Rapid herpes simplex virus susceptibility testing using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay performed in situ on fixed virus-infected monolayers.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed directly on fixed, virus-infected cell monolayers to rapidly determine the susceptibility of herpes simplex virus to antiviral drugs. Susceptibility determinations by this method correlated well with those obtained by plaque reduction assay and avoided some of the drawbacks of other methods currently available.
