Human Bocavirus Can Be Cultured in Differentiated Human Airway Epithelial Cells
28 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
In 2005, a human bocavirus was discovered in children with respiratory tract illnesses. Attempts to culture this virus on conventional cell lines has failed thus far. We investigated whether the virus can replicate on pseudostratified human airway epithelium. This cell culture system mimics the human airway environment and facilitates culturing of various respiratory agents. The cells were inoculated with human...
