PROPAGATION OF LOW PATHOGENICITY AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUSES by KIRA ANN MORESCO (Under the Direction of David E. Swayne) ABSTRACT Growth parameters of low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses were examined in eight cell cultures and in three types of avian embryos. Virus detection was compared for samples collected from experimentally infected birds, using real-time reverse transcriptase polymera...

background: to determine prospectively the prevalence of anaerobic and aerobic infection in early onset (during 72 hours of age) neonatal sepsis, in tehran vali-e-asr hospital. methods: among all the live birth, neonates suspecting of having septicemia were investigated for isolation of micro­organisms. culture bottle containing enriched tryptic soy broth was used for standard blood culture sys...

The primary therapeutic goal for the oncology patient is survival. Recent advances in diagnoses and treatment of neoplasia have resulted in an ever-increasing number of patients being cured and resuming a normal life. However, recognized side effects of treatments used to eradicate malignancies are temporary or permanent sterility. The cryopreservation of ovarian tissue harvested before cancer ...

introduction: satellite cells are known as the main regenerative cell type in skeletal muscles. our study established a modified digestion and preplating method for the isolation of slow or weak adherent cells for the enrichment of satellite cells. low-survival rate of these primary stem cells prompted us to address whether cell culture medium substitution might change cell viability status. me...

three differentes continous cell lines (am 57. hela • vero) and primary cell culture of human embryo kidney are compared with regard to their .susceptibility for isolation of mumps v i r u s from saliva and cerebrospinal fluid. for this purfose the vero cell line appeared to be more suitable among the studied cell systems regarding the following reasons: it allows the highest pourcentage of mum...

Rotaviruses group A are the major cause of diarrhea in calves under one month and every year causes enormous economic losses. Serological and molecular techniques can be used for rapid detection of rotaviruses but virus isolation requires specific methods of cell culture and suitable cell lines. In this study, 41 samples were collected from diarrheal calves up to the age of one month, from indu...
