New World Hantaviruses Activate IFNλ Production in Type I IFN-Deficient Vero E6 Cells
17 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hantaviruses indigenous to the New World are the etiologic agents of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). These viruses induce a strong interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) response in human endothelial cells. African green monkey-derived Vero E6 cells are used to propagate hantaviruses as well as many other viruses. The utility of the Vero E6 cell line for virus production is thought to owe to...
