[Effect of the tick-borne encephalitis virus on the chromosomes and cell division in different cell cultures].

Abstract excerpt

The mutagenic effect of tick-borne encephalitis virus (the Pan strain) was studied in chick embryo cells, Syrian hamster kidney cells and pig embryo kidney (SPEV) cell cultures showing different sensitivities to this virus. The dynamics of formation and types of chromosome damages were shown to be different in latent, subacute and acute forms of infection. Virus-induced chromosome aberrations appeared in the...
