Abstract :
In this study, microcalorimetric measurements were carried out on PK-15 cell line persistently infected by cholera swine fever virus (CSFV) and BHK-21 cell line infected by foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV). The aim of this investigation was to investigate the difference of energy metabolism between the different kinds of virus infections—persistent infection and cytocidal infection. The thermogenesis curves determined by using a LKB 2277 Bioactivity Monitor were significantly different. From these thermogenic curves, the maximum heat production rate Pm and total heat output Q are obtained. The results show that energy metabolism is different between persistent infection and cytocidal infection.
