Antiapoptotic but Not Antiviral Function of Human bcl-2 Assists Establishment of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Persistence in Cultured Cells
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Upon infection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were killed by a mechanism involved in apoptosis. While readily established in a variety of cell lines, JEV persistence has never been successfully instituted in BHK-21 and CHO cells. Since stable expression of human bcl-2 in BHK-21 cells has been shown to delay JEV-induced apoptosis, in this...
