- Porcine intestinal epithelial cells could be infected by TGEV successfully, and TGEV propagated in IECs remain infectious for ST cells.
- TGEV entered the target cells by membrane fusion and mature viruses budded into vacuoles, and gradually transported to the cell membrane.
- Proliferative rule of TGEV in target cells is revealed.
To gain a better understanding of the replication, proliferation and infection characteristics of porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) in porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), this study established a cell model of IECs infected with the Chongqing (CQ) strain of TGEV. The morphogenesis and proliferative rule of TGEV in porcine IECs were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence assays and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Observations under the TEM indicated that the enveloped viral particles were roughly spherical, with diameters of between 80 and 120Â nm. The virions entered porcine IECs by membrane fusion and the mature viruses in the vacuoles were transported to the cell membrane before release. The results also showed that from 0 to 12Â h after TGEV infection of porcine IECs, the intracellular viral RNA content did not change significantly. Logarithmic growth occurred from 12 to 36Â h, after which it gradually decreased. Moreover, the extracellular RNA content began to rise at 24Â h after inoculation and then reduced gradually at approximately 48Â h. This study provided a theoretical foundation for further study on the infection characteristics of TGEV in target cells.
