A method for promoting replication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses using cold atmospheric plasma, including: irradiating a medium for Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells with a cold atmospheric plasma generator; adding the irradiated medium to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells; and adding infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses for incubation. The time required for treatment is 2 min allowing for a simple and rapid operation. The plasma is used for the indirect treatment of cells with a uniform process and a controllable intensity. The replication of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses in the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells is significantly promoted by co-incubation in the treated DMEM for 1 hour, so that the high levels of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses obtained can be used for vaccine production after inactivation, improving the vaccine production efficiency.

The invention relates to a method for the formation of renal tubules by embedding individual renal cells into a synthetic hydrogel, which is based on polyethylene glycol as a component, and the culturing of the cells until tubule structures are formed. The culturing can be continued until the obtained tubule structures correspond in terms of size, structure, morphology and functionality to adult human renal tubules or are at least similar thereto.
