Maassab, H. F. (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor), and J. A. Veronelli. Characteristics of serially propagated monkey kidney cell cultures with persistent rubella infection. J. Bacteriol. 91:436-441. 1966.-A persistent infection of LLC-MK(2) cells with rubella virus has been established and maintained for over 3 years. This "carrier culture," designated as LLC-MK(2)-RAL, possesses distinct morphological and biological characteristics when compared with the original uninfected LLC-MK(2) line. The mechanism of viral persistance has not been entirely elucidated, but available data suggest a regulated infection with transmission of the virus directly from cell to cell or through cell division. Interferon was isolated from RAL (rubella-associated line) culture, which explains partly the wide spectrum of resistance to superinfecting viruses. Amantadine, although inhibiting cultures of LLC-MK(2) cells infected with rubella virus, failed to cure the "carrier culture."

The Amino Acid Requirements of Monkey Kidney Cells in First Culture Passage
Monkey kidney cells tested in their first culture passage, 24 hours after their isolation from the animal host, required the same 13 amino acids for survival and growth as cell lines serially propagated in culture for years. Under the conditions of the present experiments, arginine, cystine, glutamine, histidine, and tyrosine proved necessary, over and above the 8 amino acids required for nitro...
متن کاملDefectiveness of interferon production and of rubella virus interference in a line of African green monkey kidney cells (Vero).
Vero cells, a line of African green monkey kidney cells, failed to produce interferon when infected with Newcastle disease, Sendai, Sindbis, and rubella viruses, although the cells were sensitive to interferon. Further, infection of Vero cells with rubella virus did not result in interference with the replication of echovirus 11, Newcastle disease virus, or vesicular stomatitis virus, even in c...
