BACKGROUND Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields aren't considered as a real carcinogenic agent despite the fact that some studies have showed impairment of the DNA integrity in different cells lines. The aim of this study was evaluation of the late effects of a 100 Hz and 5.6 mT electromagnetic field, applied continuously or discontinuously, on the DNA integrity of Vero cells assessed...

The ribonucleotide reductase (RR) 2 gene of the HSV-2 strain G was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in an E. coli cell. The RR2 gene was located on the PstI 2.4 kb fragment, which was cloned and sequenced. The ORF of the gene was 1,011 bp and its termination codon was TAG; also, the CATATAA sequence was present in the promoter of the RR2 gene. A Poly A signal sequence (AATAAA) was found in the ...

Isolation of Mycoplasma genitalium from clinical specimens remains difficult. We describe a modified culture system based on Vero cells grown in medium 199 with 2% foetal bovine serum (FBS). The culture system was evaluated using early passage M. genitalium strains M6271 and M6311 with growth monitoring by quantitative TaqMan PCR. Eleven endocervical swabs and one male urethral swab positive by...

Introduction: Various types of COVID 19 vaccine are being used globally to control the current pandemic. Post-licensure surveillance is essential ensure safety. This study aimed determine Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs) China Sinopharm (Vero cell), inactivated COVID-19 vaccine.
 Method: a cross sectional observational conducted at Patan hospital, Academy Health Sciences (PAHS...

The cytotoxicity of the leaf of Cerbera odollam was investigated against two breast cancer cell lines (T47D and MCF7), two ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3 and CaOV3) and a normal (Vero) cell line. The crude methanol...

Fruit bats and insectivorous bats are believed to provide a natural reservoir for a wide variety of infectious diseases. Several lines of evidence, including the successful isolation of infectious viruses, indicate that Marburg virus and Ravn virus have found a major reservoir in colonies of the Egyptian rousette (Rousettus aegyptiacus). To facilitate molecular studies on virus-reservoir host i...

A genetically modified cell line (Vero-ICP10-EGFP) was constructed for detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) by a simple, rapid and direct method. The cell line was developed by stable transfection of Vero cell with a plasmid encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) driven by the promoter of the HSV-2 ICP10 gene. As early as 6 h after infection with HSV, fluorescence-emitting cells can be...

Cholera and Shiga toxin bind to the cell surface via glycolipid receptors GM1 and Gb3, respectively. Surprisingly, the majority of Vero cells from a non-synchronized population bind either Cholera or Shiga toxin but not both toxins. The hypothesis that the differential expression of toxin receptors is regulated by the cell cycle was tested. We find that Cholera toxin binds preferentially in G0/...
