Application of freeze-etching method to the study of reovirus-infected LLC-MK2 cells.

چکیده
A continuous cell line of rhesus monkey kidney cells, LLC-MK(2), was infected with reovirus type 1 (Lang). The cells were freeze-etched as a method for observing the structural details of the reovirus-induced cytoplasmic inclusion. Information on maturation may be obtained by preparing infected cells for electron microscopy by freeze-etching.

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...
متن کاملHighly Dynamic Microtubules Improve the Effectiveness of Early Stages of Human Influenza A/NWS/33 Virus Infection in LLC-MK2 Cells
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the role of microtubule dynamics in the initiation of NWS/33 human influenza A (NWS) virus infection in MDCK and LLC-MK2 mammalian kidney cells. We previously demonstrated a host-dependent role of the actin cytoskeleton in inducing restriction during the early phases of NWS infection. Furthermore, we showed the differential infectious entry of NWS virus...
متن کاملNoncytopathic hepatitis A virus induces surface alterations in LLC-MK2 cells revealed by thin sections, negative staining, and scanning electron microscopy.
Previous electron microscope studies of ultrastructural events during hepatitis A virus replication in experimentally infected cells have used only ultrathin section techniques. Nevertheless, no important differences were observed between infected and uninfected cells. This study was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and negative staining of whole LLC-MK2 cells grown directly on gr...
متن کاملSimplified plaque reduction neutralization assay for dengue viruses by semimicro methods in BHK-21 cells: comparison of the BHK suspension test with standard plaque reduction neutralization.
A newly modified semimicro plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) in BHK cells was compared with a standard PRNT in bottles with LLC-MK2 monolayers and with an LLC-MK2 PRNT adapted to semimicro methods. The BHK semimicro PRNT compared favorably in terms of sensitivity in detecting dengue antibody (96%), specificity at a screening dilution (95%), and ability to detect seroconversion to deng...

BACKGROUND The antipoxviral activities and phosphorylation of N-methanocarbathymidine ([N]-MCT) and four 5-halo-2'-deoxyuridines, namely 5-fluoro-(FdU), 5-chloro-(CldU), 5-bromo-(BrdU), and 5-iodo-(IdU) derivatives, were explored. METHODS Antiviral activities and nucleoside metabolism were determined in C127I mouse, LLC-MK2 monkey, and A549 human cells infected with thymidine-kinase-containin...
