Abstract

The avian transmissible lymphoid tumor growing in muscle was found to be an excellent source of tumor cells for continuous suspension cultures. The proliferating, undifferentiated lymphoid cells produced type-C virus. Six of the cell lines were maintained for over 280 days in Hanks' minimal essential medium and retained properties characteristic of the original transmissible tumor cells.
