Abstract excerpt
We investigated the mechanisms responsible for attenuation of mouse pathogenicity of Sendai virus (SeV) through passages in eggs. A highly virulent clone, E0, derived from the field SeV Hamamatsu strain, was successively passaged in hen's eggs. Analysis of the mouse lethal dose 50% (MLD50) of virus clones obtained from the viruses at egg-passages 1, 15, 30 and 50 demonstrated that attenuation of E0 by egg-passage...
