Porcine Kidney Epithelial Cell Line. Although porcine organs are considered promising their use has been checked by concerns about the transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses pervs to humans. The entry mechanism of jev into porcine cells remains largely unknown.
Pk 15 is another porcine cell line exhibiting kidney epithelial features often used for studying the molecular mechanisms of porcine virus infection or virus production 61 62 63 64. Eimeria tenella infection leads to acute intestinal disorders responsible for important economic losses in poultry farming worldwide. The first xenotransplantation associated studies demonstrating that most of human natural antibodies binding to the porcine kidney cell line pk15 are anti gal were those of cooper and colleague good et al 1992.
Tenella invasion merogony and gametogony.

Porcine primary kidney epithelial cells from cell biologics are isolated from the porcine kidney tissue. If perv from the sjpl cell line is present in the growth medium then the sjpl cell line would not be a suitable candidate for use in influenza virus.
