| recombinant murine l20b cell line supports multiplication of group a coxsackieviruses. | sensitive, reliable, and rapid methods of virus culture are essential for wild poliovirus isolation and identification from stool specimens collected from cases of acute flaccid paralysis. recently, recombinant murine cell lines expressing human poliovirus receptor (cd155) on the cell surface have become available. these cells are sensitive selectively to poliovirus because the poliovirus receptor is not used by other enteroviruses. in early field studies non-polio enteroviruses were not isolate ... | 2003 | 12629647 |
| genomic characteristics of coxsackievirus a8 strains associated with hand, foot, and mouth disease and herpangina. | coxsackievirus a8 (cv-a8), a member of the genus enterovirus of the family picornaviridae, can cause a variety of infectious diseases, such as hand, foot and mouth disease (hfmd), herpangina (ha), encephalitis, paralysis, myelitis, and meningitis. this is a first report of complete genome sequences of cv-a8 strains associated with hfmd/ha since the prototype strain donovan was identified in 1949. the complete genome sequences of eight new cv-a8 strains showed 19.2 %-20.6 % nucleotide differences ... | 2016 | 26483280 |
