Practical aspects on identification, cultivation and characteristics of varicella-zoster virus isolates

Until now, it has been considered that infectivity of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is closely related to target cell, and newly formed virus is not released into the culture medium. It is also known that it is hard to grow VZV in cell cultures, due to its slow replication rate and a limited rang...

To study production of infectious extracellular VZV in various cell cultures. Materials and methods. Eight cell cultures were used, including human embryonic diploid lung cells and human embryonic dermomuscular tissue (KM-27), as well as continuous human and monkey cell lines. Crusts detached from vesicular lesions were used as clinical isolates, which were placed into cryo-vials added with transport medium and transferred in liquid nitrogen. VZV infectivity was assessed in cell cultures by using hemo-adsorption assay with erythrocyte suspension isolated from guinea pig or human zero group blood and confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence with polyclonal sera from varicella or herpes zoster convalescents. Results. There were examined 27 clinical samples consisting of crusts from vesicular lesions isolated from patients with chickenpox, as well as one sample from 63-year old patient with exacerbated recurrent herpes zoster. Primary infection with clinical isolates was performed on diploid human lung embryo cells (HLEC) at low temperature. It was found that clinical samples collected within day 1–18 inclusive after the onset of skin eruption were able to induce cytopathic effects in HLEC cell monolayer such as cytolysis around dermal crusts. Specificity of cytopathic effect was confirmed by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Viral antigens were prepared on 7 cell lines infected with the laboratory strain Ellen VZV (USA) to assess the immune sera. A high anti-VZV specificity of mouse sera was detected by ELISA while all the lysates of infected cell lines were used as the solid-phase sorbent. In experiments on VZV reproduction demonstrated that extracellular virus was released into the culture medium starting from day 1 after infection of target cells, and infectivity of the virus-containing fluid ascends during further cultivation.F.
