Two healthy tree shrews were sedated and humanely euthanized to collect their lung, trachea, and kidney tissues. Then the primary cells from the fresh tissue samples were isolated and cultured as described previously [30 (link)]. The primary cell monolayers in 24-well plates were infected with 100 TCID50 of HAdV-55, -7, -14, or rAd3-EGFP, for 1 h at 37°C. Then the monolayers were washed twice with MEM and incubated for 7 d. The infected cells were then observed daily under microscopy to check the cytopathic effect (CPE) or green fluorescent signals.
To detect viral replication, the infected cells and the culture medium were harvested at 24, 48, 96, and 144 h post-infection (h.p.i). The viral genomic DNA was extracted with a TaKaRa MiniBEST Viral RNA/DNA Extraction Kit Ver. 5.0 (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the viral genomic DNA copies were determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR), as described below.
To check whether the primary cells produced infectious progeny viruses after adenovirus infection, cells were harvested at 48 or 72 h.p.i and subjected to three freeze–thaw cycles and centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 30 min to remove cell debris. The virus supernatant was serially diluted to infect HEp-2 and the CPE was analyzed between 2 and 7 d by microscopy to calculate TCID50 according to the Spearman & Kärber algorithm method [45 (link)].

Throat swab samples or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAF) were collected from hospitalized pediatric patients with severe or critical pneumonia. The samples were collected and refrigerated at 2–8 °C in a viral transport medium before being transported on ice and analyzed immediately, or stored at −80 °C until analysis. Viral genomic DNA was extracted using a TaKaRa Mini BEST Viral RNA/DNA Extraction Kit Ver.5.0 (TaKaRa, Dalian, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions and then tested for HAdV using the TaqMan real-time PCR kit (Guangzhou HuYanSuo Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China) as previously reported (13 (link)). HAdV-positive samples were further characterized at the molecular level by PCR amplification of the hypervariable regions of the hexon gene (14 (link), 15 (link)). Mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory viruses detected by a real-time PCR assay on throat swab sample or BAF. Bacteria and fungi detected by blood, sputum, BAF or bone marrow culture.

Viral Nucleic Acid Extraction from Fecal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tubes with fecal samples in maintenance medium were vigorously vortexed to homogenize the samples. Samples of each species from the same site were then pooled by adding 1 ml from each maintenance medium sample into a fresh sample tube. Six pooled samples, classified by species and collection site, were then centrifuged twice at 13,000×g for 20 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was then filtered through a 0.22 μm filter (Millipore Inc., USA) twice to remove eukaryotic cell- and bacterium-sized particles. Filtrates were concentrated in a 100-kDa Pellicon II filter (Millipore Inc., USA). To remove the remaining extra-cellular nucleic acids, the filtrates were treated with DNaseI (NEB, USA) and RNaseIf (NEB). 375 μl of the filtrate from each pooled sample was then digested in a mixture of 3 U DNase and 25 U RNase at 37 °C for 90 min in 10× DNase buffer (NEB). The viral DNA and RNA were simultaneously extracted using a TaKaRa MiniBEST Viral RNA/DNA Extraction Kit Ver.5.0 (TaKaRa Inc., Japan).

The virus growth kinetics were observed in A549 cells. In brief, 24 h before infection with HAdV-55, rAd55, and rAd55-dE3-EGFP, A549 cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a density of 2 × 105 cells per well. Cells were washed three times with PBS and inoculated with viruses (MOI = 0.05 TCID50 units/cell). After 2 h incubation, the supernatant was removed and cells were washed three times with PBS and supplied with the medium as described above. Supernatants and cells were collected at 2, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h post-infection separately. Viral genomic DNA was extracted with a TaKaRa MiniBEST Viral RNA/DNA Extraction Kit Ver.5.0 (Takara, Dalian, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The replication of viral DNA in cells was measured by qPCR with adenovirus-specific primers qHAdV-UniF/-UniR and probes qHAdV-UniProbe (Table 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
