This study was conducted to identify the effects of caffeine or combinations of caffeine and iron or vitamin E on the lipid and protein components in the MDBK(Mardin-Darby Bovine Kidney) cells. For the In vitro test, MDBK cells in ${\alpha}$-MEM(Minimum Essential Medium) were divided into 4 treatment groups according to drug types and dosages as follows; the control(group A), group B was treated with 0.3mM caffeine, group C was treated with 0.3mM caffeine and 0.3mM ferric chloride, group D was treated with 0.3mM caffeine and 0.3mM vitamin E. Those groups were further divided into 5 subgroups according to the time lapsed(control, 4hrs, 8hrs, 24hrs and 48hrs lapsed group). The concentrations of the carbonyl group and malondialdehyde(MDA) and the patterns of the SDS-PAGE(Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) and fatty acid compositions were analyzed to determine the oxidative damages and metabolic changes on the lipid and protein components in the MDBK cells. The results obtained from this study were summarized as follows; 1. The concentrations of carbonyl group and malondialdehyde in MDBK cells of group C were significantly higher(p<0.01) in comparison to the control, and increased according to the time lapsed. But the results of groups B and D were little different in comparison to the group C. 2. As the analytical results of fatty acid compositions in MDBK cells, the proportions of palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid in groups B, C and D were lower in comparison to the control, while the proportion of arachidonic acid in groups B, C and D were significantly higher(p<0.01) in comparison to the control. 3. In order to determine the oxidative damages to the protein in MDBK cells, the patterns of the SDS-PAGE were examined and the patterns of SDS-PAGE in groups C and D were significantly different between 43kd and 200kd of molecular weight.

Fecal samples were collected from 47 calves with diarrhea and 12 clinically normal co-h-abitants, and tested for virus using MDBK cell cultures. Three cytopathic viruses were isolated from 8 fecal samples obtained from diarrheic calves. The isolated viruses were neutralized by bovine coronavirus hyperimmune serum In plaque reduction assay and were detected in the cytoplasm of MDBK cell by bovine coronavirus hyperimmune serum using immunofluorescence staining. The viruses agglutinated mouse erythrocytes only among the various animal erythrocytes tested and new isolates were identified as bovine coronavirus.

닭의 맹장 상피세포에 기생하여 출혈, 설사 등을 일으키는 구충류(구충류. Coccidia인 Eimerin tenella는 감염 초기에 상피 내 림프구(intraepithelial Lymphocyte; IEL)와 같은 면역계 세포로 먼저 침입하는 것이 잘 알려져 있다. 이 연구는 E. tenella가 면역계 세포 내로 들어가는 것이 추후 충체 생존 및 발육에 도움이 되는 과정인지를 알아보고자 한 것으로, 분리하기 쉬운 닭의 비장 세포를 면역계 세포로 이용하고 MDBK(Madin-Darby bovine kidney) 세포를 시험관 내(in nitre) 숙주세포로 하여 E. tenella의 생존 및 발육 능력을 정량적으로 측정한 것이다. 실험 과정은 3단계로 나누어 첫째 MDBK 세포가 숙주세포로 적합한지 우선 형태학적으로 관찰한 후, 둘째 E. tvnella sporozoites의 발육, 중식 상황을 3H-uracil 동위원내 흡수시험으로 정량화할 수 있는지 알아보고, 셋째 이 방법을 이용하여 sporozoites를 비장세포와 혼합배양한 후에는그 발육, 중식 능력이 어떻게 변화하는지 관찰하였다. MDBK 세포에 탈낭 직후의 정상 sporozoites를 직접 감염시켜 발육상황을 형태학적으로 관찰한 바 감염 3∼4일에 영양형 및 분열체(schizonts)가 완성되고 merosoites가 터져 나와 다른 세포로 침입하는 분열증식(schizogony)이 활발히 영위되고 있는 것이 확인되었다. 또 3H-uracil 흡수는 감염 12시간부터 뚜렷이 나타났고 48∼60시간에 peak에 달한 다음 서서히 감소하였다. 3H-uracil 흡수량은 sporozoites 감염 농도에 따라서도 변화하였으나 탈낭 후 MDBK 세포 감염까지의 시간 경과 에 따라 현저히 감소하였다. 그러나 sporozoites를 비장세포와 함께 4∼12시간 시험관 내에서 먼저 혼합배양한 다음 MDB노 세포에 감염시켰을 때 3H-uracil 흡수량은 sporozoites만을 태양한 대조군 에 비해 항상 높아 비장세포와의 혼합배양 후 발육증식이 더욱 활발해지는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 E. tenella의 sporosoites가 생체 내에서 IEL과 같은 면역계 세포에 침입하는 것이 충체 생존이나 발육에 있어서 비록 필수적인 것은 아니지만 자신의 생존이나 발육능력을 보존 또는 항진시키는데에 도움을 주는 과정의 하나로 판단되었다.

Purpose: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly contagious and economically important viral infection of cattle, which leads to financial losses in the livestock industry of affected countries. Vaccination is the most effective control measure to prevent the disease. Heterologous sheep pox (SP) vaccine was used against LSD in Turkey. In this research, it was aimed to adapt SP Bakırköy vaccine strain attenuated in lamb kidney cells to Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells to provide better protection than commercial SP vaccine in cattle. Materials and Methods: To evaluate safety and efficacy of vaccines, while animals were immunized with 10 doses (10^4.75 50% tissue culture infectious dose [TCID₅₀]) and 5 doses of SP vaccine (10⁴ TCID₅₀) produced in MDBK cells, others were immunized with commercial Penpox-M vaccine (10^3.9 TCID₅₀). Two cattle were kept as unvaccinated. At day 31 post-vaccination, all animals were challenged with the virulent LSD virus. Blood and swab samples were taken on certain days post-inoculation. Logarithmic differences challenge virus titers between vaccinated and unvaccinated animals were calculated. Results: The clinical sign was not observed in animals immunized with 10 doses of SP vaccine. The differences between the animals immunized with SP vaccine and control group was less than log 2.5 and the viremia occurred in immunized animals. The difference in titer was higher than log 2.5 in animals immunized with the Penpox-M, and viremia did not occur. Conclusion: SP vaccine strain propagated in MDBK cells and can be used for immunization to prevent LSD infections. However, SP vaccine strain propagated in MDBK showed poor protection as compared to Penpox-M.

Background: Cirrhosis is regarded as a possible end stage of many liver diseases, including viral infection. It occurs when healthy liver tissue becomes damaged and is replaced by scar tissue and finally may lead to hepatocellular carcinoma. Interferons (IFNs)are two general categories, type I and II. Type I includes one beta interferon and over 20 different alpha interferons. Alpha interferons are very similar in how they work, interacting with other proteins on cells like receptors. The main objective of this study was to compare Mx gene productivity post different cell line treatment with imported and Egyptian biosimilar locally produced IFNs, as well as the efficacy of those tested IFNs. Also, an assessment was made of sensitivity of different cell lines as alternatives to that recommended for evaluation of antiviral activity. Materials and Methods: Different cell lines (Vero, MDBK and Wish) were employed to evaluate cytotoxicity using the MTT assay. Antiviral activity was evaluated compared with standard IFN against VSV, Indiana strain -156, on tested rh-IFNs (imported; innovated and Egyptian biosimilar locally produced IFNs) in the pre-treated cell lines previously mentioned. The virus was propagated in the Wish cell line as recommended. Finally we estimated up-regulation of the Mx gene as a biomarker. Results: Data recorded revealed that test IFNs were safe in test cell lines. Viability was around 100%. Locally tested interferon did not realize the international potency limits, while the imported one was accepted compared with the standard IFN. These results were the same either using infectivity titer reduction assay or crystal violet staining of residual non- infected cells. Mx protein production was cell type related and confirmed by the detected Mx gene expressed in imported and locally produced IFN pre-treated cell lines. The expression of the gene was arranged in the order of Vero> wish > MDBK for the imported IFN, while for the Egyptian biosimillar locally produced one it was MDBK> Vero> wish. With regard to the antiviral activity there was a significant difference of imported IFN potency compared with the locally produced IFN (P<0.05), the IFN potential (antiviral activity) was not cell line related and showed non-significant difference for each separate product. Conclusions: Vero cells can be used as an alternative cell line for evaluation of IFN potency in case of unavailable USP recommended cell lines. Alternative potency evaluation assay could be used and proved significant difference in IFN potency in case of local and imported agents. Evaluation of antiviral activity could be used in parallel to viral infectivity reduction assay for better accuracy. Mx gene can be used as a marker for IFN potential.

Various endometrial genes in ruminant ungulates are regulated by conceptus interferon tau (IFNT). However, the effect of each IFNT isoform has not been carefully evaluated. In this study, the effects of 2 IFNT isoforms, paralogs found in utero, and interferon alpha (IFNA) on uterine epithelial and Mardin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells were evaluated. Expression vectors of the bovine interferon (bIFNT) genes bIFNT1, bIFNTc1, and bIFNA were constructed, and recombinant bIFNs (rbIFNs) were produced by 293 cells. Bovine uterine epithelial or MDBK cells were cultured in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations of each rbIFN for 24, 48, or 72 h. Transcript levels of the IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) ISG12, ISG15, MX1, and MX2 were analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. These messenger RNAs were up-regulated by rbIFN in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In the epithelial cells, the ISG12 transcript level increased at 48 h after rbIFN treatment but slightly decreased at 72 h, whereas the transcript level of ISG15 increased at 24 h and was maintained through 72 h. Expressions of MX1 and MX2 increased at 72 h after rbIFN treatment. MX1 expression increased in all treatment groups, but MX2 increased only by bIFNTc1. In MDBK cells, the expression of ISG12 was increased by bIFNT1 and bIFNTc1 after 24 and 72 h; however, it was unchanged by rbIFNA. ISG15 increased following the same pattern as that seen in uterine epithelial cells, and MX1 showed a similar expression pattern. MX2 expression was increased by bIFNTc1 treatment in uterine epithelial cells, and its expression was increased by both bIFNT1 and bIFNTc1 in MDBK cells. These results show that epithelial and MDBK cell responses to IFNs differ, suggesting that IFNs possess common functions, but may have acquired different functions following gene duplication.

Apoptosis is a host defense mechanism that the cell uses to limit production of infectious pathogens. Although many bacteria, viruses and parasites can induce apoptosis in infected cells, some pathogens usually exhibit the ability to suppress the induction of apoptosis in the infected cells. Sophisticated evasion strategies of obligate intracellular parasites, in particular prevention of host cell apoptosis, are necessary to ensure successful replication. To study the ability of Eimeria tenella in this regard, in vitro experiments were performed applying Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells as host cell. We have demonstrated that productive infection of adherent cell lines by E. tenella resulted in an anti-apototic effect. This phenomenon was confirmed using in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated (TdT) deoxyuridine triphosphates (dUTP)-fluorescein nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay to detect apoptosis. Therefore, E. tenella could complete its cycle of productive infection while inducing anti-apoptosis in the infected cells. This finding might have implications for the pathobiology of E. tenella and other Eimeria species.

Background: Fenbendazole, a dewormer drug, is used widely in the clinical treatment of parasite infections in animals. Recent studies have shown that fenbendazole has substantial effects on tumor growth, immune responses, and inflammatory responses, suggesting that fenbendazole is a pluripotent drug. Nevertheless, the antiviral effects have not been reported. Fenbendazole can disrupt microtubules, which are essential for multiple viruses infections, suggesting that fenbendazole might have antiviral effects. Objectives: This study examined whether fenbendazole could inhibit bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) productive infection in cell cultures. Methods: The effects of fenbendazole on viral production, transcription of the immediate early (IE) genes, viron-associated protein expression, and the cellular signaling PLC-γ1/Akt pathway were assessed using distinct methods. Results: Fenbendazole could inhibit BoHV-1 productive infections significantly in MDBK cells in a dose-dependent manner. A time-of-addition assay indicated that fenbendazole affected both the early and late stages in the virus replication cycles. The transcription of IE genes, including BoHV-1 infected cell protein 0 (bICP0), bICP4, and bICP22, as well as the synthesis of viron-associated proteins, were disrupted differentially by the fenbendazole treatment. The treatment did not affect the cellular signaling pathway of PLC-γ1/Akt, a known cascade playing important roles in virus infection. Conclusions: Overall, fenbendazole has antiviral effects on BoHV-1 replication.
