abortive infection

The numbers of p52 positive cells was also observed to decrease with respect to time, perhaps indicating an abortive infection may be occurring.

Abortive infection, a viral infection that infects a cell without reproducing into more infectious viruses.

No CPE was observed in any of the fibroblast infections, suggesting that an abortive infection was occurring in the BJAB-B1 cells.

The expression system using CNPV is advantageous because it undergoes what is known as 'abortive infection' but at the same time displays the necessary antigens to the hosts immune system.

CMV undergoes an abortive infection in BJAB-B1 cells A CMV abortive infection was not determined for the P3HR-1 cells.

However, the fact that only a small percentage of the B-cells showed evidence of CMV infection along with the lack of virus in the supernatant supports the probability that the CMV infection of the BJAB-B1 cells represents an abortive infection.
