Long-term in vitro Culture of Cryptosporidium parvum

[Abstract]  Continuous in vitro growth of Cryptosporidium parvum has proved difficult and conventional in vitro culture techniques result in short-term (2-5 days) growth of the parasite resulting in thin-walled oocysts that fail to propagate using in vitro cultures, and do not produce an active infection using immunosuppressed or immunodeficient mouse models (Arrowood, 2002). Here we describe the use of hollow fiber bioreactors (HFB) that simulate in vivo conditions by providing oxygen and nutrients to host intestinal cells from the basal surface and permit the establishment of a low redox, high nutrient environment on the apical surface. When inoculated with 105 C. parvum (Iowa isolate) oocysts the bioreactor produced 108 ... [摘要]  Cryptosporidium parvum 的连续体外生长已证明是困难的,并且常规体外培养技术导致短期(2-5天)生长寄生虫导致薄壁卵囊不能使用体外培养物繁殖,并且不使用免疫抑制或免疫缺陷小鼠模型产生活跃感染(Arrowood,2002)。在这里,我们描述了中空纤维生物反应器(HFB)的使用,通过提供氧气和营养物质从基础表面宿主肠细胞模拟体内条件,并允许建立低氧化还原,高营养环境顶面。当接种10 5 C时。 parvum (爱荷华州分离物)卵囊生物反应器在14天后每ml产生10个 8 卵囊(20ml额外毛细血管体积),并保持2年以上。使用TCR-α免疫缺陷小鼠模型的体内感染性研究显示,在6,12和18个月时从生物反应器产生的卵囊与用于启动培养的亲本Iowa分离物无法区分。 HFB产生的卵囊具有与亲本爱荷华分离物类似的百分比分析。

【背景】 Cryptosporidium parvum 是人和其他哺乳动物肠道的细胞内专性寄生虫,导致急性腹泻。该疾病在免疫功能正常的个体中是自限性的,然而,在免疫功能低下的成人和幼儿中,该疾病可能危及生命(Kotloff,2017)。它是经济资源低的国家中三种被诊断出的儿童肠道疾病之一(Kotloff et al。,2013; Sow et ...

HCV Reporter System (Viral Infection-Activated Split-Intein-Mediated Reporter System) for Testing Virus Cell-to-cell Transmission ex-vivo

[Abstract]  Hepatitis C virus (HCV) spread involves two distinct entry pathways: cell-free transmission and cell-to-cell transmission. Cell-to-cell transmission is not only an efficient way for viruses to spread but also an effective method for escaping neutralizing antibodies. We adapted the viral infection-activated split-intein-mediated reporter system (VISI) and developed a straightforward model for Live-cell monitoring of HCV cell-to-cell transmission ex-vivo: co-culture of HCV infected donor cells (red signal) with uninfected recipient cells (green signal) and elimination of the cell-free transmission by adding potent neutralizing antibody AR3A in the supernatant. With this model, the efficiency of cell-to-cell transmission can be evaluated by counting the number of foci designated by ... [摘要]  丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)传播涉及两种不同的进入途径:无细胞传播和细胞间传播。 细胞间传播不仅是病毒传播的有效方式,也是逃避中和抗体的有效方法。 我们采用了病毒感染激活的分裂 - 内含肽介导的报告系统(VISI),并开发了一种直接模型,用于活细胞监测HCV细胞间传递离体:共培养 HCV感染的供体细胞(红色信号)与未感染的受体细胞(绿色信号)和通过在上清液中加入有效的中和抗体AR3A消除无细胞的传递。 利用该模型,可以通过计数受体细胞的绿色信号指定的病灶数来评估细胞间传递的效率。

【背景】越来越多的证据证明病毒可以在受感染的组织中使用不同的传播途径(Sattentau,2008; Zhong et al。,2013)。对于HCV传播,无细胞传播和细胞间传播均可介导肝细胞之间的病毒转移。虽然无细胞传播引发HCV感染,但认为细胞 - 细胞传递直接将HCV转移至相邻的肝细胞。它提供了抵抗中和抗体并有助于病毒持久性的极好方法(Brimacombe et al。,2011; Xiao et al。,2014)。之前的文章也证明了一些促进细胞传递的宿主因子,如清道夫受体BI(SR-BI),CD81,紧密连接蛋白claudin-1(CLDN1),Occludin(OCLN),表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)。 (Witteveldt et al。,2009; ...

RNA Cap Methyltransferase Activity Assay

[Abstract]  Methyltransferases that methylate the guanine-N7 position of the mRNA 5’ cap structure are ubiquitous among eukaryotes and commonly encoded by viruses. Here we provide a detailed protocol for the biochemical analysis of RNA cap methyltransferase activity of biological samples. This assay involves incubation of cap-methyltransferase-containing samples with a [32P]G-capped RNA substrate and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to produce RNAs with N7-methylated caps. The extent of cap methylation is then determined by P1 nuclease digestion, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and phosphorimaging. The protocol described here includes additional steps for generating the [32P]G-capped RNA substrate and for preparing nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts from mammalian cells. This assay is ... [摘要]  甲基化mRNA 5'帽结构的鸟嘌呤-N7位置的甲基转移酶在真核生物中普遍存在并且通常由病毒编码。这里我们提供生物样品的RNA帽甲基转移酶活性的生化分析的详细方案。该测定包括将含有帽 - 甲基转移酶的样品与[32 P] G-加帽的RNA底物和S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(SAM)温育以产生具有N7-甲基化帽的RNA。然后通过P1核酸酶消化,薄层色谱(TLC)和磷成像确定帽甲基化的程度。此处描述的方案包括用于产生[32 P] G-加帽的RNA底物和用于从哺乳动物细胞制备核和细胞质提取物的附加步骤。该分析也适用于分析其他生物样品(包括重组蛋白制剂和来自分析分离和免疫沉淀/下拉实验的级分)的帽甲基转移酶活性。

【背景】mRNA的5'端的N7-甲基鸟苷帽是适当的真核mRNA加工,定位和翻译所必需的修饰。 ...
