Cytoplasmic changes may indicate pre-lytic polio release in fibroblasts; leaves open in vivo relevance and therapeutic implications.
In vitro observation of polio-infected human fibroblasts reveals specific cytoplasmic changes and marginal bubbling that may represent a mechanism for viral release before cell death.
Barski et al. (1955) studied Poliomyelitis virus infection (in vitro). Types 1 or 2 poliomyelitis virus was evaluated on Cellular lesion development and virus release mechanism. Infection of human fibroblasts with poliomyelitis virus produced a central dense mass in the cytoplasm and marginal bubbling, suggesting a mechanism for virus release before cell death.
