A Theiler’s virus BeAn strain shows a persistent profile of BHK-21 cell infection as determined by genome detection using real-time RT-PCR and expression of L* protein
Abstract:Cells from various tissues and species are able to bind to Theiler's virus strain DA and allow it to replicate to some extent. Meanwhile, permissiveness in vitro to BeAn strains has not been well investigated. In this paper, the BeAn 8386 virus was subjected to five passages in BHK-21 cells and showed a persistent profile. In order to follow the in vitro infection, real-time RT-PCR to detect the IRES, L* and 3A3B regions of the Theiler's virus genome was carried out in the first and last passages. In addition,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
