Abstract excerpt
The in vitro propagation of human rhinoviruses (RVs) is difficult because only few continuous human cell lines are permissive to these agents. We propose an innovative model of epithelial cell infection using a non-transformed continuous keratinocyte line from human origin (HaCaT cells). After infection with RV-A13, RV-A16 or RV-A19, HaCaT cells produced infectious particles without showing any observable...
