Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tested various cells and culture conditions to grow murine norovirus, human noroviruses, porcine sapovirus, and human sapoviruses to test the possibility of the virus propagation. During the study, an additional porcine sapovirus susceptible cell line was identified. Furthermore, several cells were susceptible for human norovirus or sapoviruses, because of detectable increase of viral RNA levels. Most of theses viruses and cells were required bile acid for virus propagation.Plasmid-based reverse genetics constructs were also applied for porcine sapovirus and feline calicivirus as an new molcular tool for virus production.
