African Swine Fever Virus Multigene Family 360 and 530 Genes Are Novel Macrophage Host Range Determinants
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates primarily target cells of the mononuclear-phagocytic system in infected swine and replicate efficiently in primary macrophage cell cultures in vitro. ASFVs can, however, be adapted to grow in monkey cell lines. Characterization of two cell culture-adapted viruses, MS16 and BA71V, revealed that neither virus replicated in macrophage cell cultures. Cell viability...
