analytical validation of a reverse transcriptase droplet digital pcr (rt-ddpcr) for quantitative detection of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus.infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (ihnv) is an important pathogen of salmonid fishes. a validated universal reverse transcriptase quantitative pcr (rt-qpcr) assay that can quantify levels of ihnv in fish tissues has been previously reported. in the present study, we adapted the published set of ihnv primers and probe for use in a reverse-transcriptase droplet digital pcr (rt-ddpcr) assay for quantification of the virus in fish tissue samples. the rt-ddpcr and rt-qpcr assays detected 13 phy ...201728347708
different phenotypes of mature biofilm in flavobacterium psychrophilum share a potential for virulence that differs from planktonic state.flavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiological agent of bacterial coldwater disease and the rainbow trout fry syndrome in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. however, there have been few studies into the capacity of f. psychrophilum to form biofilms and how these cellular accretions differ from planktonic cells or how they affect potential virulence. we evaluated the biofilm formation by three chilean isolates of f. psychrophilum (lm-02-fp, lm-06-fp, and lm-13-fp) and two non-chilean strains (jip02 ...201728361040
invitromatics, invitrome, and invitroomics: introduction of three new terms for in vitro biology and illustration of their use with the cell lines from rainbow trout.the literature on cell lines that have been developed from rainbow trout (rt) (oncorhynchus mykiss) is reviewed to illustrate three new terms: invitromatics, invitrome, and invitroomics. invitromatics is defined as the history, development, characterization, engineering, storage, and sharing of cell lines. rt invitromatics differs from invitromatics for humans and other mammals in several ways. nearly all the rt cell lines have developed through spontaneous immortalization. no rt cell line under ...201728374170
