  • Viral infections have challenged humanity for centuries. (daitime.com)
  • Throat viral cultures are more sensitive than urine viral cultures and confirm 33% of the enteroviral infections studied. (medscape.com)
  • Members of the human herpesvirus (HHV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) families cause the most common primary viral infections of the oral cavity. (medscape.com)
  • Nonetheless, many other viral infections can affect the oral cavity in humans, either as localized or systemic infections. (medscape.com)
  • See Cutaneous Manifestations of HIV Disease and Cutaneous Manifestations of Hepatitis C for information on these viral infections. (medscape.com)
  • In HHV-1 and HHV-2 oral infections, viral replication within the oral epithelium may cause lysis of epithelial cells, with vesicle formation. (medscape.com)
  • model studies of the infectivity of aerosolized rotaviruses]. (liverpool.ac.uk)
  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the viral RNA segments extracted from a stool specimen from PFm-1 revealed an electrophoretic pattern consistent with other rotaviruses, except for a lower intensity of segment 11 and an additional segment migrating slightly slower than segments 7, 8, and 9 (data not shown).

  • After vaccination with the live attenuated oral polio vaccine, viral culture results from both throat and stool specimens may remain positive for enteroviruses for several months. (medscape.com)
  • In children, RT-PCR for throat specimens was also more sensitive than viral culture. (medscape.com)
  • Safety, infectivity, immunogenicity and phenotypic stability of the vaccine were evaluated in all cohorts. (johnshopkins.edu)
  • however, the IgA response to the viral hemagglutinin-neuraminidase was the best measure of immunogenicity in young infants. (johnshopkins.edu)
  • The concentration of plaque forming units can be estimated by the number of plaques (regions of infected cells) formed after a few days. (wikipedia.org)
  • Viral vectors deliver the genetic material, DNA or RNA, into the target cells. (coriolis-pharma.com)
  • A total of 881 plaques from 90 individual cells were analyzed in this way. (virology.ws)
  • The number of changes identified in the 7-10 plaques isolated from each cell, between 0 and 17, shows that some cells produce more diverse progeny than others. (virology.ws)
  • An aliquot (0.8 mL) of the transport medium of the nasopharyngeal swab (COPAN's kit UTM® universal viral transport medium-COPAN) of a mildly symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infected patient was mixed with an equal volume of DMEM without FBS and supplemented with double concentration of P/S and Amphotericin B. The mixture was added to 80% confluent Vero E6 cells monolayer seeded into a 25 cm 2 tissue culture flask. (frontiersin.org)
  • Isolated cells were confirmed virus free through subsequent plaque assays. (asu.edu)
  • The BR-XJ160 virus raised in BHK-21 cells was indistinguishable from the XJ-160 virus in its biological properties, including its plaque morphology, growth kinetics and suckling mouse neurovirulence. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To confirm the importance of M2 splicing in the replication of H1N1 and H3N2, we treated infected cells with splicing inhibitor herboxidiene and analyzed the viral growth using plaque assay. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Analysis of the individual aerosol fractions showed a similar loss in infectivity among the fractions. (cdc.gov)

  • A single dose of this intranasal vaccine was evaluated in adults [10 6 plaque-forming units (pfu)] and seropositive children, and 10 4 and 10 5 pfu were evaluated in seronegative children. (johnshopkins.edu)
  • The usual format of the test is the 3 + 3 dose quantal assay that is used to estimate the potency of whole-cell pertussis vaccine ( British Pharmacopoeia , 2010). (pharmacy180.com)
