Kinetics of rotavirus replication in primary ileum and colon epithelial cells co-cultured with myofibroblasts. Three days post co-cultivation, cells were inoculated with rotavirus RVA/pig-tc/BEL/RV277/1977/G1P[7] strain at an m.o.i. = 1. At different time points post inoculation, (A) infected cells were visualized by immunofluorescence staining (red represents cytokeratin and green represents rotaviral antigen positive cells), (B) the percentage of infected epithelial cells was determined, (C) intra- and extracellular virus titers were assessed and (D) intra- and extracellular viral RNA loads were quantified by RT-qPCR. Scale bar: 25 µm. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of the results of 3 separate experiments. Statistically significant differences in comparison with the data from 0 h p.i. are represented as *P <0.05 or **P <0.01.
