Abstract: | Hydroxy and carboxylic acids in the supernatant fluids of mosquito cell cultures infected with four serotypes of dengue viruses (DEN) were analyzed by frequency-pulsed electron capture gasliquid chromatography. The hydroxy acid profiles of all virus-infected cell cultures differed qualitatively and quantitatively from the profile of normal cell culture. Furthermore, the profiles of hydroxy acids in the DEN 1- and DEN 4-infected cultures were type specific. Although quantitative differences of a few peaks could be found between the hydroxy acid profiles of DEN 2- and DEN 3-infected cultures, in the absence of clear qualitative differences the two profiles were considered to be essentially indistinguishable. The carboxylic acid profiles of virus-infected cultures differed from the profile of a normal cell culture, but none of the four serotypes of DEN viruses induced type-specific profiles. Thus, these findings contrasted to previous results with rhesus monkey kidney cell cultures (LLC-MK2), in which serotype-specific sets of hydroxy acids and a DEN 1-specific set of carboxylic acids were released in the supernatant fluids by the infection with dengue viruses. |
