DTS-II is a highly diphtheria toxin (DT)-sensitive cell line previously isolated by transfection of wild-type DT-resistant mouse L-M(TK-) cells with the cDNA encoding a monkey Vero cell DT receptor. DTS-II cells are as toxin-sensitive as Vero cells, have approximately 3-fold more receptors than Vero cells, and have approximately 10-fold lower affinity for DT than Vero cells. We now cotransfecte...

background and objective: pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) has been historically the most prevalent opportunisticinfection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiencyvirus. culture of the organism has not been faced with suitable success in artificial media, while various results have been reported for cell culture media. the aim of this study was proliferation of pneumocystis carinii on t...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the adhesion characteristics between submicron calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) with a size of 150 ± 50 nm and African green monkey kidney epithelial cells (Vero cells) before and after damage, and to discuss the mechanism of kidney stone formation. METHODS Vero cells were oxidatively injured by hydrogen peroxide to establish a model of injured cells. ...

The constant threat of newly emerging influenza viruses with pandemic potential requires the need for prompt vaccine production. Here, we utilized the Vero cell polymerase I (PolI) promoter, rather than the commonly used human PolI promoter, in an established reverse-genetics system to rescue viable influenza viruses in Vero cells, an approved cell line for human vaccine production. The Vero Po...

Radiation protection and cytotoxicity effects of different concentrations cerium oxide nanoparticles in aqueous solution combined with sodium dodecyl sulphate Vero cells irradiated 18 MV beams

A mutational and genetic analysis of the poliovirus protein 3A has led to the identification of a single amino acid mutant virus with a restrictive phenotype to form plaques in Vero cells. This mutant (I46T 3A) can be grown and amplified in HeLa cells, where virus replication takes place at wild-type levels. However, Vero cells infected with this virus cannot complete the growth cycle. I46T 3A ...

introduction: the mouse embryos can successfully be vitrified using ethylene glycol as cryoprotectant, however their development differs significantly from the non-vitrified embryos. the ability of their development can be improved when they co-culture with somatic cells. in the present study, the effects of co-culturing with vero cells on the development of vitrified two cell mouse embryos wer...

BACKGROUND Wild-type measles virus (MV) is isolated in B95a but not in Vero cells. Through an adaptation process of wild-type MV to Vero cells, several amino acid substitutions were reported. METHODS Six strains were adapted to Vero cells and membrane (M), fusion (F) and hemagglutinin (H) genes were sequenced. Cell fusion was assessed and recombinant MVs were constructed, having wild-type H o...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rpmi and t6 medium on two cell mouse embryo co-culture with vero cells. materials and methods: two cell mouse embryos (nmri strain) were flushed from the excised uteri of superovulated mice. morphologically normal embryos were divided into four groups: the first control group was cultured on t6 media. the first experimenta...

Vero cells used by distinct measles vaccine control laboratories had their susceptibility to Moraten, Schwarz and Biken CAM-70 vaccine strains assayed. Of a total of 72 lots of measles vaccine whose potency was titrated by microtechnique in two Vero cell samples (Vero IB and Vero INCQS), 25 had been produced with Moraten strain, 24 with Schwarz and 23 with Biken CAM-70. The statistical analysis...
