Abstract excerpt
A field strain of Sendai virus (SeV) Ohita-M1 (M1) was isolated from an epidemic in an animal laboratory by passaging in mice. A mutant strain, Ohita-MVC11 (MVC11), was then obtained by passaging M1 in rhesus monkey (LLC-MK2) cells. MVC11 was adapted to LLC-MK2 cells and produced 20 times higher levels of infectious virus than M1. This increased production of infectious virus in LLC-MK2 cells was associated with...
