Virus susceptibility of a new simian cell line of fetal origin.

چکیده
The cultivation and characterization of a cell line derived from the foreskin of a fetal, rhesus monkey (rhfs2) are described. This cell line has proven satisfactory for isolation and assay of a variety of viral agents of human and simian origin. Virus titrations performed on foreskin cells yielded titers comparable to, or higher than, those obtained in rhesus monkey kidney cells (LLC-MK2). Replicate isolation attempts in our laboratory from simian clinical specimens have proven rhfs2 superior to LLC-MK2 for ease of detection and frequency of isolation.

Cell culture technique has been used for detection and confirmation of many different viruses in clinical samples. Although, new diagnostic methods have been developed for viral infections, traditional cell culturetechnique is still regarded as the “gold standard” for several infectious agents such as human cytomegalovirus(HCMV). In the present study, a new human fetal foreskin fibr...

In this syudy a continuous bovine kidney cell line derived from a primary bovine kidney cells was established for the first time in Iran. The cells were originating from two-day-old normal male calf of Holstein breed. The cell cultures were continuously passaged following complete proliferation of primary cells. The specific properties or characteristics of the cell were defined using cytogenet...

Abstract Background and Aims: To identify and isolation of viruses a susceptible cell is need which can be primary or line. The use of primary cells is laborious, time consuming and expensive, while the use of cell lines is much easier and faster. IRKHBK cell line was originated from primary cells of bovine kidney by continuous passage. The aim of this study was to introduce the IRKHBK cell ...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Simian Rotavirus Spike Protein (VP4) in Insect Cells by Baculovirus Expression System
Background: VP4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. VP4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. Methods: Simian rotavirus SA11 gene 4 cDNA was cloned into a cloning plasmid pDONRTM by recombination reaction using clonase II enzyme mix. The resulting clone was c...
