'Tubular aggregates' are morphologically distinct cytoplasmic structures that have been linked to a variety of pathological conditions. This report documents the presence of tubular aggregates in an insect cell line (C6/36 cells derived from Aedes albopictus) following inoculation of the cells with material derived from cell culture passaged homogenized Culex australicus mosquitoes. The tubular aggregates were detected in ∼2% of treated cells and had three morphological forms that were termed primary, secondary and tertiary, with progressively greater levels of structural complexity. The findings indicate that tubular aggregates can be induced in an insect cell culture system by an unidentified agent present in some mosquitoes.
“管状聚集体”是形态上独特的细胞质结构,与多种病理状况相关。本报告记录了在用来自经细胞培养传代的匀浆澳大利亚库蚊的材料接种昆虫细胞系(源自白纹伊蚊的C6/36细胞)后,管状聚集体的存在情况。在约2%的处理细胞中检测到了管状聚集体,其有三种形态形式,分别称为初级、次级和三级,结构复杂性水平逐渐增加。这些发现表明,某些蚊子中存在的一种未知因子可在昆虫细胞培养系统中诱导管状聚集体的形成。
