  • Title: Murine virus susceptibility of cell cultures of mouse, rat, hamster, monkey, and human origin.
    Author: Reed JM, Schiff LJ, Shefner AM, Poiley SM.
    Journal: Lab Anim Sci; 1975 Aug; 25(4):420-4. PubMed ID: 168428.
    Abstract:
    Studies were initiated to determine the practicality of using various tissue cultures for the propagation of murine viruses isolated from laboratory animals. The cytopathogenic effects of 10 murine viruses known to cause disease in laboratory rodents were compared in monolayer cultures of L929, BHK-21, WI-38, BSC-1, and Vero cells. The susceptibility of primary hamster embryo, hamster kidney, mouse embryo, mouse kidney, and rat embryo cell cultures was also tested. Seven of the viruses produced effects in at least 1 of the cell substrates. The remaining 3 viruses, namely H-1, K, and mouse hepatitis, produced no effects in the cell cultures tested.
