Proteome analysis of virus-host cell interaction: rabies virus replication in Vero cells in two different media.

The use of Vero cells for rabies vaccine production was recommended from the WHO in 2005. A controlled production process is necessary to reduce the risk of contaminants in the product. One step towards this is to turn away from animal-derived components (e.

Virus-host cell interactions in vaccine production cell lines infected with different human influenza A virus variants: a proteomic approach.

A proteomic approach was used to investigate the dynamic cellular host cell response induced by influenza virus infection in two different vaccine production cell lines, MDCK and Vero. For identification of proteins possibly involved in global host cell response mechanisms and virus-host cell interactions in these producer cell lines, quantitative 2-D DIGE and nanoHPLC-nanoESI-MS/MS analysis were performed. In particular, host cell proteome alterations caused by infection with influenza virus variants showing differences in replication characteristics in MDCK cells were compared.

Quantitative analysis of cellular proteome alterations in human influenza A virus-infected mammalian cell lines.

Over the last years virus-host cell interactions were investigated in numerous studies. Viral strategies for evasion of innate immune response, inhibition of cellular protein synthesis and permission of viral RNA and protein production were disclosed. With quantitative proteome technology, comprehensive studies concerning the impact of viruses on the cellular machinery of their host cells at protein level are possible.
