The phrase "abortive infection" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in medical contexts to describe an infection that fails to produce the expected symptoms or effects, often because the immune system successfully fights it off.
Example: "The patient experienced an abortive infection, showing no significant symptoms despite exposure to the virus."
Alternatives: "failed infection" or "incomplete infection".
Together, the data show that FMDV may disrupt MoDCs at multiple stages along a development pathway, even when they showed only abortive infection (D5 infected MoDCs).
Cytopathic effect was detected after two passages in BHK-21 of supernatants only from cultures at 6 hpi, but at no at other times post-infection, indicating that CD172+ cells at later time post-differentiation (D5 post-culture) are not productively infected by FMDV, therefore an abortive infection is taking place.
In contrast to the abortive infection in WT mice, HCV could infect C/OTg mice (n = 67) with sustained viral RNA levels (see Supplementary information, Tables S3 and S4 for mouse allocation and genome copy numbers, respectively) for over 12 months post infection (mpi), in both serum and liver.
In the CRISPR Cas system, immunological memory is thought to be formed when cells are infected with defective phage particles12, and such abortive infection might also occur in the CroV mavirus system.
Similar to abortive infection in WT mice (n = 44), persistently infected C/OTg mice (n = 67) manifested normal liver function during either acute or persistent phase of infection, as demonstrated by the baseline fluctuation of ALT, AST and ALB levels.
This argued against abortive infection, and suggested that the majority of MHV-68-exposed DCs become latently infected but that their virus then quite rapidly reactivates.
Dy, R. L., Przybilski, R., Semeijn, K., Salmond, G. P. C. & Fineran, P. C. A widespread bacteriophage abortive infection system functions through a Type IV toxin-antitoxin mechanism.
Through its ability to control cell cycling E1A can immortalize mammalian cells when expressed during abortive infection or stable transfection, like other homologous oncogenes from other DNA tumor viruses and cellular oncogenes2,3.
Infection of rodent or human cells, however, results in an abortive infection (an incompatibility between the virus and the host cell) but sometimes induces malignancy (sarcomas or lymphomas) in the occasional cell that is transformed.
To date, there are few known defensive strategies in archaea and bacteria that can be referred to as the multilayer prokaryotic immune system: the restriction-modification system, the adsorption inhibition, abortive infection, blocking DNA injection, and the CRISPRs discovered during 1980s.
Inoculation of freshly isolated monocytes resulted primarily in an abortive infection.
