Objective: Garlic is a plant has been used as a flavor, and anti-microbial and anti-diarrheal agent. Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a coronavirus. The available vaccines against IBV cannot cover new variants. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of garlic extract on IBV.  Materials and Methods: The constituents of garlic extract were detected by gas chromatography. This study was d...

influenza c virus possesses specific neuraminate-o-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. this enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein hef (hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized hef protein is detectable. we further developed the estera...

objective: titration of viruses is important to determine the quantity of virus in vaccine development, master virus seed stock preparation, viral vector studies and virus replication. in this study, we compared the ccid50% and plaque assay as a standard titration method for rotavirus (rf) and hsv-1.   methods: the ma104 and vero cells were inoculated by rf and hsv-1 in 6- and 96-well plates. f...

objective: monitoring of influenza virus shedding and optimization of multiplicities of infection (moi) is important in the investigation of a virus one step growth cycle and for obtaining a high yield of virus in vaccine development and conventional basic diagnostic methods. however, eluted infectious viruses may still be present immediately after virus inoculation and when cells are washed fo...

Murine sarcoma virus induces foci of morphologically altered cells in BALB/3T3 cultures. Focus formation in mouse cells has been thought to require the presence of a helper, murine leukemia virus, which is present in murine sarcoma virus stocks but by itself does not induce any morphological transformation of mouse cells. The present studies show that early after infection, the titration patter...

Titration of N- and B-tropic murine leukemia viruses on sensitive and resistant cell lines has been studied by direct XC plaque assay and infective center assay. The titration of cloned B-tropic virus by infective center assay on BALB/3T3 (Fv-1b/b) and NIH/3T3 (Fv-1n/n) cells gave one-hit patterns, with 100-fold less infected NIH/3T3 cells than BALB/3T3 cells. The titration of B-tropic virus on...
