Enhanced replication of human cytomegalovirus in human fibroblasts treated with dexamethasone.
The effect of glucocorticoid hormones on the replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was studied in human embryonic lung (HEL) cells. Treatment of cells with pharmacological concentrations of adrenal glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone enhanced HCMV replication; treatment with oestrogenic or androgenic hormones did not do so. In dexamethasone-treated HEL cells there was an approximately t...

Vonka, Vladimir (Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Tex.), and Matilda Benyesh-Melnick. Interactions of human cytomegalovirus with human fibroblasts. J. Bacteriol. 91:213-220. 1966.-Virus attachment of human cytomegalovirus to human embryo lung fibroblasts was found to be temperature-independent, from 4 to 37 C. Prolonged incubation at 4 C, however, resulted in inactivation of a hi...
متن کاملReplication of wild-type and mutant human cytomegalovirus in life-extended human diploid fibroblasts.
A cDNA encoding the catalytic subunit of human telomerase was used to generate life-extended derivatives of primary human diploid fibroblasts. The life-extended cells supported efficient human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. A subclone of the life-extended cells was generated containing the HCMV UL82 gene and used to isolate and propagate a virus that exhibited a profound growth defect afte...
متن کاملGrowth characteristics of cytomegalovirus in human fibroblasts with demonstration of protein synthesis early in viral replication.
In high-multiplicity infection of human fibroblasts, human cytomegalovirus of WI-38 human diploid cells produced early cell rounding 6 to 24 h after inoculation. This early cell rounding was caused only by inoculation with infectious virions. Inhibitors of protein synthesis, but not DNA inhibitors, prevented this cytopathic effect. Apparently, a new protein is synthesized in infected fibroblast...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...
