What do you need to grow/ID a virus?
|
grow in a cell culture
detect specific proteins specific genome sequences serology good patient history |
|
Best time to collect a viral sample is:
|
early in acute phase when virus is being shed
|
|
Viral Storage/Transport
1. VTM 2. store sample on _____; but do not _____ |
1. protein, pH buffer, Antimicrobials
2. Ice; freeze |
|
Cytology - characteristic changes in cell morphology:
1. Syncytia 2. inclusion bodies 3. Owl eye 4. Negri bodies Good for initial diagnosis, but not conclusive |
1. multinucleated giant cells
2. histological changes in cells 3. basophilic nuclear inc body - CMV 4. in cytoplasm; processes of neurons |
|
Diploid cell line
|
culture of single cell type that can be passed a large but finite number of times
|
|
Tumor Cell Lines/Immortalized
|
can be passed continuously w/o senescing
|
|
Plaques
heterologous interference |
visible colonies of lysed cells
one virus prevents replication of another known virus |
|
Hemagglutination Inhibition
|
ID of a virus by blocking/inhibiting agglutination w/specific antibodies against virus
|
|
Immunofluorescence
Direct Indirect |
cells are detected by antibody interactions
mono-specific Ab's conjugated to fluorescent molecule bind to viral protein mono Ab's bound to cells with viral surface antigens |
|
Enzyme Immunoassay
|
enzyme-conjugated Ab is used; substrate is converted to chromogen that marks infected cells
|
|
ELISA
|
antigen is on bead; virus-specific Ab's are captured; quantitative is sample is serially diluted and compared against known concentrations
|
|
Radioimmunoassay
|
use radiolabeled antibody/antigen
|
|
Latex Agglutination
|
latex beads used to detect Ag/Ab in patient's sample
beads form clumps in +rxn |
|
Shell Vial
|
sample is centrifuged onto cells grown on glass cover-slip
|
