Figure 4. Replication of NiVs CSUR381 (Cambodia 2003 isolate), UMMC1 (NiV-Malaysia isolate), and SPB200401066 (NiV-Bangladesh isolate) in Vero, HPMEC, NCI-H358 (human bronchioalveolar cells), and PATGV1.12 (bat cells). A) Real-time reverse transcription PCR titer. Cells were infected at a multiplicity of infection of 0.3, and the production of the nucleocapsid gene was measured. Significance was measured by 2-way analysis of variance. B) Kinetics of infectious virus particle production in supernatant measured by Vero plaque assay. The average of 2 independent experiments is presented. C–E) Cytopathic effect of observed by light microscopy 48 h after infection with the NiV-Malaysia isolate (C), the NiV-Bangladesh isolate (D), and CSUR381 (E). Giant multinucleated cells are indicated with arrowheads. Scale bar indicates 25 µm. HPMEC, human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell; NiV, Nipah virus. **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
