Abstract
Serial passage of two lentogenic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains in kidney cell lines increased virulence and changed viral biological properities. In two cell lines (BHK and MDBK), elevation in virulence was demonstrated by plaque formation under an overlay with no additives, decrease in mean death times, elevated intracerebral pathogenicity index, and cytopathic effect in chicken embryo fibroblasts. Some other markers not directly correlated to virulence, such as heat inactivation of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, were not influenced by passage in kidney cells. In addition, all strains were slow eluters. This observation emphasizes the importance of preventing the virus from reaching the viscera.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
