Meckel diverticulum has been suspected and then diagnosed at laparoscopic exploration of the abdomen in a severely anaemic 16-month-old child with acute intestinal bleeding. The surgical indication all unexplained bleedings is discussed.

Signalling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) has been identified as an immune cell receptor for the morbilliviruses, measles (MV), canine distemper (CDV), rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants (PPRV) viruses, while CD46 is a receptor for vaccine strains of MV. More recently poliovirus like receptor 4 (PVRL4), also known as nectin 4, has been identified as a receptor for MV, CDV and PPRV...

BARNARD, B. J. H., 1984. Acid production by flavivirus-infected VERO and CER eel cultures. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 51, 8990 ( 1984). VERO and CER cell cultures infected with flaviviruses produce more acid than non-infected control cultures. Acid production is dependent on the presence of glucose. This phenomenon can be utilized for the titration of flaviviruses.

BACKGROUND Hantaviruses indigenous to the New World are the etiologic agents of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). These viruses induce a strong interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) response in human endothelial cells. African green monkey-derived Vero E6 cells are used to propagate hantaviruses as well as many other viruses. The utility of the Vero E6 cell line for virus production is tho...

Vero cell heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is synthesized as a 20- to 30-kDa membrane-anchored HB-EGF precursor (proHB-EGF). Localization and processing of proHB-EGF, both constitutive and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-inducible, was examined in Vero cells overexpressing recombinant HB-EGF (Vero H cells). Flow cytometry and fluorescence immunostai...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of co-culture with Vero cells during the in vitro maturation (IVM) and three culture media, B2+5% fetal calf serum (FCS) on Vero cells, synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF)+5% FCS, and SOF+20 gL(-1) bovine serum albumin (BSA), on the developmental competence of the embryos and their ability to survive vitrification/warming. We also tested the effect of ...

vaccination against mumps is included in world health organization (who) program of global immunization. safety and efficacy of vaccines must be confirmed by control units in charge of public health. in iran, the secondary control on potency of vaccine has not been set up yet. we decided to overcome this problem by developing who and nibsc methods in food and drug control lab. ‎nine dilutions o...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this investigation was to determine if black tea extract (BTE), consisting primarily of flavanol compounds called theaflavins, could inhibit herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection in cultured A549 (human epithelial) and Vero cells. METHODS The effect of BTE both on A549 and Vero cultured cells and on HSV-1 was assessed by using phase contrast and fluorescent m...
