Influence of Glutamine on Multiplication and Cytopathic Effect of Respiratory Syncytial Virus.

A Márquez, G. D. Hsiung

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Glutamine was found to be an essential component in Eagle's medium for the maximal multiplication of RS virus and for the development of syncytia cytopathic effect in Hep-2 cell cultures. The minimal amount of glutamine needed for syncytium formation was only 18 μg/ml. It is suggested that it be ascertained that the culture medium used contains glutamine when Hep-2 cell cultures are used for the cultivation and recognition of RS virus.
