Abstract excerpt

The influence of antibody immune selective pressure on Newcastle disease virus (NDV) HN and F gene mutations was studied in cell cultures. NDV field strain TZ060107 was inoculated into chicken embryo fibroblast cells and continuously passaged with (group A) or without (group B) anti-NDV monospeci...
