We have developed a human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) assay using the T1H6-DC-SIGN cell line. Infection of T1H6-DC-SIGN cells with HHV-8 induces expression of β-galactosidase, which was used to determine TCID50 levels. Validation of TCID50 values was performed by immunofluorescence assay of HHV-8 infection of immature dendritic cells at various TCID50 doses.
我们使用 T1H6-DC-SIGN 细胞系开发了一种人类疱疹病毒 8 型 (HHV-8) 的 50%组织培养感染剂量 (TCID50) 测定法。HHV-8 感染 T1H6-DC-SIGN 细胞会诱导β-半乳糖苷酶的表达,该酶可用于确定 TCID50 水平。通过在不同 TCID50 剂量下对不成熟树突状细胞的 HHV-8 感染进行免疫荧光检测,验证了 TCID50 值。
