Standardization of Plaque Assay of Japanese Encephalitis Virus (Nakayama NIH Strain) on BHK-21 (Cl-13) Cell Line

چکیده
For establishment of plaque assay on BHK-21(Cl-13) cell line, different parameters were standardized. A cell count of 3-4 X 10 5 /ml was found suitable when grown in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (EMEM) containing 5% foetal bovine serum (FBS) whereas a concentration of 2% FBS was optimum for the overlay media containing 0.2% final conc. of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC); a pH value of 7. 8 was suitable for normal growth of BHK-21 cells as well as for the development of plaques; an inoculum size of 0.2ml per well of a 6-well TC plate at 10 -8 dilution of the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus was found to be sufficient to give the optimum plaque count. A 90 minutes adsorption time was adequate for the virus to adsorb onto the BHK-21 cells. Under these conditions the development of plaques occurred in five days at 36 + 1 0 C, 5% CO2 and >90% Relative Humidity (RH). Repeatability of the assay was tested and found to be good (Mean + SD= 90 + 6.6; CV=7.2%). A comparison between the JE virus plaques on BHK-21 cells and Chick Embryo Fibroblast (CEFB) cells showed comparable results. Thus, it was concluded that the continuous cell line such as BHK-21 can be used in place of CEFB cells for plaque assay of JE virus and this system can be used as an alternative approach for the potency assay of JE vaccine.

We have successfully prepared a Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) - Nakayama virus like particle (NVLP) vaccine using synthetic codon-optimized prM and E genes. The expression of the recombinant JEV Nakayama-BmNPV (JEV-NNPV) virus was determined in infected silkworm Bm-N cells by fluorescence and Western blot analysis. The recombinant was inoculated into silkworm pupae and the yield of Nakayama...

Two small plaque variants of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), S4P9 and S9P10, were recovered from the wild type of JEV strain KE-093 using plaque purification in combination with the temperature-shift induction technique. Growth patterns of the S4P9 and S9P10 in BHK-21 cells as well as neurovirulence in suckling mice were similar to that of KE-093. An amino acid substitution, lysine for gluta...

BACKGROUND Genotype I (GI) Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) that replaced GIII virus has become the dominant circulating virus in Asia. Currently, all registered live and inactivated JEV vaccines are derived from genotype III viruses. In Taiwan, the compulsory JEV vaccination policy recommends that children receives four doses of formalin-inactivated Nakayama (GIII) JEV vaccine. METHODOLOGY/...
