Q

CULTIVATING VIRUSES WHY IS
THERE NO GROWTH?

Can you culture a virus?
what is needed to replicate?
How does it work?

A
  • VIRUSES DON’T HAVE THE GENETIC CAPABILITY TO
    MULTIPLY BY DIVISION WITHOUT THE HOST. THIS MEANS
    VIROLOGISTS CANNOT CULTURE VIRUSES.
  • A VIRUS NEEDS THE HOST IN ORDER TO REPLICATE.
  • HOW?
  • THE VIRUS UTILIZES THE HOST CELLS ORGANELLES TO
    PRODUCE ITS PROTEINS AND NUCLEIC ACID FOR
    REGENERATION

Q

CELL CULTURE

How is this done?

A

Cell culture refers to the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their subsequent
growth in a favorable artificial environment.
 Cell culture involves the growth of dispersed cells in-vitro, either as cells in
suspension, or as a monolayer on a solid surface such as a inner surface of polystyrene
culture flask.

Cell Line
Finite cell lines/Diploid Cell Lines

what kind of population?
what is the life span?
can they be subcultured? how?
where do they come from?
what do they retain ?
what 3 properties do they maintain?
what is the speed of growth?
are they easy or hard to use?
example?

A

**Homogenous **population of a single cell type – fewer cell types
Limited life span: May be sub-cultured up to 100 times before the cells die
 Derived mainly from embryos; or from secondary cell cultures
 Cell retains original morphology and diploid chromosome number
 These cell lines exhibit the property of contact inhibition, density limitation and
anchorage dependence
 The growth rate is slow and doubling time is around 24-96 hours
 Technically, less hassle to use

Example: WI-38 (WI: Wistar Institute) is a diploid human cell culture line composed
of fibroblasts derived from lung tissue of a three month old white female fetus.

* VIRUS ATTACHMENT TO RECEPTOR/S ON HOST CELLS ARE VERY SPECIFIC (LIKE LOCK AND KEY) EACH VIRUS HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC RECEPTOR ON SPECIFIC HOST CELLS. * THESE INTERACTIONS ARE MEDIATED BETWEEN THE VIRUS AND COMPLIMENTARY RECEPTOR ON THE HOST SURFACE. CELLS THAT DON’T HAVE THE RECEPTOR, WON'T BE INFECTED BY THE VIRUS. * IN SOME CASES, BINDING TO A CELLULAR RECEPTOR IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR INFECTION.
