| Abstract: | The monolayer duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells were experimentally infected with new type Gosling viral enteritis virus (NGVEV) and the dynamic changes of apoptosis were detected at different time points after NGVEV infection by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and Annexin V-FITC/PI stained fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS).The result shows that NGVEV can induce infected cells undergo apoptosis and change regularly. A series of characteristic apoptotic morphological changes including shrink of the cells, chromatin condensation and margination, as well as formation of apoptotic bodies were observed by TEM. The typical ladder pattern of DNA fragmentation was demonstrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. And using flow cytometry analysis of Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, the dead, viable, apoptotic and necrotic cells could be analysis quantitatively. |
