Enteric coronaviruses (CoVs) are major pathogens that cause diarrhea in piglets. To date, four porcine enteric CoVs have been identified: transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and HKU2-like porcine enteric alphacoronavirus (PEAV). In this study, we investigated the replicative capacity of these four enteric CoVs in LLC-PK1 cells, a porcine kidney cell line. The results showed that LLC-PK1 cells are susceptible to all four enteric CoVs, particularly to TGEV and PDCoV infections, indicating that LLC-PK1 cells can be applied to porcine enteric CoV research in vitro, particularly for coinfection studies.
肠冠状病毒(CoVs)是引起仔猪腹泻的主要病原体。迄今为止,已鉴定出四种猪肠冠状病毒:传染性胃肠炎病毒(TGEV)、猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)、猪δ冠状病毒(PDCoV)和 HKU2 样猪肠α冠状病毒(PEAV)。在本研究中,我们研究了这四种肠冠状病毒在猪肾细胞系 LLC-PK1 中的复制能力。结果表明,LLC-PK1 细胞易感染这四种肠冠状病毒,特别是对 TGEV 和 PDCoV 的感染,这表明 LLC-PK1 细胞可应用于体外猪肠冠状病毒研究,特别是用于共感染研究。
