Propagation and quantitation of animal herpesviruses in eight cell culture systems.

Abstract: A comparative study was carried out to determine the relative sensitivities of eight different cell culture systems to six different herpesviruses of animals. The cells used were: OFL (ovine fetal lung), ML (mink lung), FK (ferret kidney), PTK-2 (potoroo kidney), TEK (turkey embryo kidney), ED (equine dermal), BT (bovine turbinate), and PK15 (porcine kidney). The viruses tested were: PRV (pseudorabies) of swine, CPHV (caprine herpesvirus), IBRV (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus), DN-599 strain of bovine herpesvirus type 4, EHV-1 (equine herpesvirus), and CHV (canine herpesvirus). On the basis of virus titers obtained and the time of appearance of CPE (cytopathic effects), ML cells were found to be the most useful because of their sensitivity to all six viruses tested. BT and OFL cells were also found to be highly sensitive to all viruses with the exception of CHV.

This research article compares how effectively eight different cell culture systems can grow and measure six different types of animal herpesviruses. The study found that mink lung (ML) cells were the most sensitive and widely applicable for all the viruses tested.

Introduction

  • The study was designed to analyze the relative sensitivities of eight different cell culture systems towards six unique animal herpesviruses.
  • This research is crucial as it helps in comprehending which cell cultures are more effective in assisting the growth and quantitation of these viruses, thereby aiding in the diagnosis and research of these diseases.

Cell Culture Systems and Viruses Tested

  • The cell culture systems used in the study were OFL (ovine fetal lung), ML (mink lung), FK (ferret kidney), PTK-2 (potoroo kidney), TEK (turkey embryo kidney), ED (equine dermal), BT (bovine turbinate), and PK15 (porcine kidney).
  • The viruses that were tested included PRV (pseudorabies) of swine, CPHV (caprine herpesvirus), IBRV (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus), DN-599 strain of bovine herpesvirus type 4, EHV-1 (equine herpesvirus), and CHV (canine herpesvirus).

Results

  • The results were determined based on the virus titers obtained and the time of appearance of CPE (cytopathic effects), which are visible signs of viral infections in a cell.
  • The ML (mink lung) cells were found to be most effective as they were sensitive to all six viruses assessed.
  • OFL (ovine fetal lung) and BT (bovine turbinate) cells also displayed high sensitivity towards all the test viruses except for the canine herpesvirus (CHV).

Conclusion

  • The outcome of this research assists in creating more effective methods for studying various animal herpesviruses by identifying the most sensitive cell culture systems for propagation and quantitation of these viruses.
  • The findings can be utilized to improve diagnostic techniques for these viruses and can further guide research into antiviral drugs and vaccines.
