Viral properties of CVB-RNA populations in the pancreas.
| Pancreas | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days Post Infection | 3 | 14 | 28 | |
| (+)/(−) vRNA Ratio | 44.9 | 9.2 | 2.0 | |
| ss/ds vRNA Ratio | 48.2 | 8.4 | 2.9 | |
| Viral cell-culture challenge (HeLa 229 cells, 72-h) |
Entry Capacity (%) | 73 | 13 | 31 |
| Proteinase K-treated Entry Capacity (%) | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| Fold of normalized genome copy increase | 207 | 4.5 | 9.3 | |
| PFU (PFU/mL) | 9 × 106 | ND | ND | |
N = 3; (+)/(−) or ss/ds vRNA ratio: positive/negative or single/double-strand viral RNA ratio. PFU: plaque-forming unit assay; ND: non-detectable.
