We report the isolation and establishment of Rickettsia felis in the C6/36 cell line. Rickettsial growth was intense, always with 90 to 100% of cells being infected after few weeks. The rickettsial isolate was confirmed by testing infected cells by PCR and sequencing fragments of three major Rickettsia genes (gltA, ompB, and the 17-kDa protein gene).
我们报告了在C6/36细胞系中分离和建立猫立克次体的过程。立克次体生长旺盛,几周后总是有90%至100%的细胞被感染。通过对感染细胞进行PCR检测以及对三个主要立克次体基因(gltA、ompB和17-kDa蛋白基因)的片段进行测序,确认了立克次体分离株。
