Susceptibility of bovine rotavirus to interferon

Abstract
Using the plaque assay or the CPE test (cytopathogenic effect), we investigated the action of human, simian (rhesus), bovine and murine interferons on bovinerotavirus adapted to grow on established Rhesus monkey kidney cell line (MA 104) or Georgia Bovine Kidney cell line (GBK). Except for the murine interferon we used, which had no antiviral effect at all, the different interferons tested were clearly active.
