Abstract excerpt
Cells from various tissues and species are able to bind to Theiler's virus strain DA and allow it to replicate to some extent. Meanwhile, permissiveness in vitro to BeAn strains has not been well investigated. In this paper, the BeAn 8386 virus was subjected to five passages in BHK-21 cells and showed a persistent profile. In order to follow the in vitro infection, real-time RT-PCR to detect the IRES, L* and 3A3B...
