AFRICAN GREEN MONKEY CELL: An African
green monkey kidney cell expressing the gene c - src, imaged using Bessel beam plane illumination.
Thus, culturing and propagation of TMAdV were successful in a human A549 cell line, but not in established or
primary monkey kidney cell lines.
The Saudi scientists said they had isolated a virus from the patient as well as from one of the camels, grown both samples in
monkey kidney cells, and sequenced their genomes, which turned out to be 100 % identical.
Despite its isolation from affected titi monkeys, we were unable to propagate TMAdV in both established (BSC - 1) and primary (PMK)
monkey kidney cells (Fig. 4).
