  • Cells for detection of influenza and parainfluenza viruses
    Patent number: 6610474
    Abstract: The invention provides cell lines which are useful for the rapid detection and production of influenza and parainfluenza viruses. In particular, the invention relates to transgenic mink lung cells which show increased sensitivity to infection by influenza A, influenza B, or parainfluenza 3 viruses, or which are capable of enhanced productivity of infectious virions. The invention is suitable for use in culturing clinical influenza and parainfluenza virus isolates and for the production of influenza and parainfluenza virus for vaccine formulations, as antigen preparations for diagnostic applications, and for screening antiviral drugs.

  • Methods of culturing and assaying a virus in a specimen and compositions and cell lines for doing the same
    Patent number: 6458577
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for culturing a virus including the steps of: (A) providing cells from a cell line susceptible to infection by the virus and a specimen; (B) treating the cells with a compound of formula RC(O)Q, wherein Q is R, OR, OX or X, each R is independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group containing 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and wherein X is hydrogen or a cation; © inoculating the treated cells with the specimen; and (D) incubating the inoculated cells to allow viral growth to proceed.
