Cell surface changes observed in MC-29 virus-infected chicken-embryo fibroblast (CEC) cultures. 1976

E Podmaniczky, and B Szende, and K Lapis, and G Ferenc

By transmission and scanning electron microscopic studies of MC-29 virus-infected CEC cultures, C-type virus particles were detected in the medium of infected cultures, in infected cells and in intracellular vacuoles. Virus budding was also observed. In the scanning electron microscope (SEM) so-called blebs appeared on the surfaces of the infected cells, in a number proportional to the concentration of the virus preparation. On the basis of the size of the blebs, it could be considered that virus formation was taking place in their center. In control cells, neither viruses nor blebs were observed. This method will presumably be suitable for the titration of virus preparations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
