Establishment and validation of a 2D primary gill cell culture of the sevenband grouper (Hyporthodus septemfasciatus)
J Virol Methods. 2024 Mar 29:114922. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 2D primary gill cell culture system of the sevenband grouper (Hyporthodus septemfasciatus) was established to validate the pathogenesis of nervous necrosis virus (NNV) as observed in previous studies. This system, developed using the double-seeded insert (DSI) technique, yielded confluent cell layers. Upon challenge with NNV in a setup containing both autoclaved salt water and L15 media in the apical compartment, viral replication akin to that anticipated based on previous studies was observed. Consequently, we advocat...

Improved SARS-CoV-2 RNA Recovery in Wastewater Matrices using a CTAB-based Extraction Method
J Virol Methods. 2024 Mar 29:114918. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114918. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWastewater-based epidemiology has allowed tracking the magnitude and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 in communities, allowing public health officials to prepare for impending outbreaks. While many factors influence recovery of SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater, proper extraction, concentration, and purification of RNA are key steps to ensure accurate detection of viral particles. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of four commonly used RNA extraction methods for detection of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome in sewage sampl...

Optimal Conditions for Adenoviral Transduction of Immature Dendritic Cells Without Affecting the Tolerogenic Activity of DC-Based Immunotherapy
J Virol Methods. 2024 Mar 27:114921. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114921. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in maintaining immune tolerance. Using recombinant adenovirus (rAd) to deliver vectors to immature dendritic cells (imDCs) is an important method for studying the tolerogenic function of DCs. We found that using RPMI medium and a higher MOI during transduction increased the expression of CD80, CD86, and MHC-II on the surface of imDCs. Our data reveal a significant increase in the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in the group showing the most pronounced phenotypic c...

The Effect of Enzymatic and Viability Dye Treatment in Combination with Long-Range PCR on Assessing Tulane Virus Infectivity
J Virol Methods. 2024 Mar 24:114919. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114919. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman norovirus (HuNoV) is regularly involved in food-borne infections. To detect infectious HuNoV in food, RT-qPCR remains state of the art but also amplifies non-infectious virus. The present study combines pre-treatments, RNase and propidium monoazide, with three molecular analyses, including long-range PCR, to predominantly detect infectious Tulane virus (TuV), a culturable HuNoV surrogate. TuV was exposed to inactivating conditions to assess which molecular method most closely approximates the reduction in infectiou...

In-process quality control in foot-and-mouth disease vaccine production by detection of viral non-structural proteins using chemiluminescence dot blot assay
In this study, we designed a chemiluminescence dot blot assay to detect the 3A and 3B NSPs of FMDV. It is sensitive enough to detect up to 20 ng of the NSP, and exhibited specificity as it does not react with the viral SPs. This cost-effective assay holds promise in quality control assessment in FMD vaccine manufacturing.PMID:38479084 | DOI:10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114906 (Source: Journal of Virological Methods)
