Effect of polyene macrolide antibiotics on invertebrate tissue culture cells. 1977

N I Goldstein, and P B Fisher, and C P Schaffner

The effect of amphotericin B (AB) and amphotericin B methyl ester (AME) on viability and DNA synthesis in three insect cell lines, Trichoplusia ni (Tn) Carpocapsa pomonella 169 (Cp) and Aedes aegypti (Aa), has been evaluated. In all cases AME was less toxic than AB and inhibited DNA synthesis to a lesser degree than AB. However, the three cell lines differed in their response to the two polyene macrolide antibiotic preparations. Tn and Aa cell responded in a similar manner when exposed to either AME or AB, whereas Cp cells were more sensitive to both antibiotics than Tn or Aa cells.

They are the dominant group of animals on earth with several hundred thousand different kinds. Three orders, HEMIPTERA; DIPTERA; and SIPHONAPTERA; are of medical interest in that they cause disease in humans and animals. (From Borror et al., An Introduction to the Study of Insects, 4th ed, p1). Insects,Insect
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002470 Cell Survival The span of viability of a cell characterized by the capacity to perform certain functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, some form of responsiveness, and adaptability. Cell Viability,Cell Viabilities,Survival, Cell,Viabilities, Cell,Viability, Cell
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000330 Aedes A genus of mosquitoes (CULICIDAE) frequently found in tropical and subtropical regions. YELLOW FEVER and DENGUE are two of the diseases that can be transmitted by species of this genus. Aede
