Korean hemorrhagic fever: propagation of the etiologic agent in a cell line of human origin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The etiologic agent of Korean hemorrhagic fever has been propagated in a human cultured cell line derived from a carcinoma of the lung. The cells, described as type II, alveolar epithelial, support replication of the agent and successive passages. Antigen of the Korean hemorrhagic fever agent is readily detected in infected cells by means of direct or indirect fluorescent antibody techniques. Previous attempts to propagate this agent in vitro had been unsuccessful.

Introduction: Ticks are important ectoparasites that feed on the blood of various livestock hosts and sometimes, humans, which can lead to direct injury or transmission of microorganisms including the agent that causes Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Case reports of humans being bitten by these ticks can be helpful in preventing disease and improving human health. Case Report: A 71-year-old ...
متن کاملEvaluating of Iran Razi Khedmati Bovine Kidney (IRKHBK) Cell Line for Isolation and Propagation of Viruses
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 ...

Background: Calprotectin is cytotoxic agent that its anti-tumor effects are governed through suppression of topoisomerase II a key enzyme in apoptosis. In previous studies, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin are shown on different cancer cell lines, but not human gastric cancer cell lines. In the present study, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin on human gastric ...

متن کاملEffect of Thermal Stress on MICA/B Induction in a Human Liposarcoma Cell Line
Background: A possible mechanism by which hyperthermia enhances tumor immunogenicity is the induction of NKG2D ligands on tumor cells. Although the expression of MHC class I chain-related protein A and B (MICA/B) has previously been reported in different carcinomas, there is no information about MICA/B expression in liposarcomas. Objective: To investigate MICA/B induction in a human liposarcoma...
