To examine the susceptibility of the epithelial cell line to rat coronavirus (RCV), we inoculated sialodacryoadenitis virus and Parker's RCV into five cell lines; JTC-19, rat L2, LLC, RCN-9 and LBC cells originating in the lungs, intestines and mammary tumors of rodents. Both RCVs were replicated in LBC and RCN-9 cells, but not in the others. The infectivity titers of both RCVs grown in RCN-9 cells were significantly higher than those in LBC cells in every passage (2.5-3.9 log rate). Both RCVs replicated in LBC cells showed higher tropism to RCN-9 cells than to LBC cells, suggesting that RCN-9 cells are more suitable for the replication of RCVs than LBC cells. The RCN-9 cell line would be useful for the investigation of RCV infection in rodents.
为检测上皮细胞系对大鼠冠状病毒(RCV)的易感性,我们将涎泪腺炎病毒和帕克氏RCV接种到五种细胞系中;分别是源自啮齿动物肺、肠和乳腺肿瘤的JTC - 19、大鼠L2、LLC、RCN - 9和LBC细胞。两种RCV均能在LBC和RCN - 9细胞中复制,但在其他细胞中不能。在RCN - 9细胞中培养的两种RCV的感染滴度在每一代中均显著高于LBC细胞中的感染滴度(2.5 - 3.9对数率)。在LBC细胞中复制的两种RCV对RCN - 9细胞的嗜性均高于对LBC细胞的嗜性,这表明RCN - 9细胞比LBC细胞更适合RCV的复制。RCN - 9细胞系将有助于研究啮齿动物中的RCV感染。
