GROWTH OF VENEZUELAN EQUINE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS VIRUS IN HUMAN DIPLOID CELL STRAIN WI-38

It was demonstrated that Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus replicated in and adapted rapidly to human diploid cell strain WI-38. Peak titers of approximately 10 to the 9.8th power mouse intracerebral 50% lethal doses were obtained at low passage levels in Eagles basal medium supplement...

Zusammenfassung:It was demonstrated that Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus replicated in and adapted rapidly to human diploid cell strain WI-38. Peak titers of approximately 10 to the 9.8th power mouse intracerebral 50% lethal doses were obtained at low passage levels in Eagles basal medium supplemented with calf serum. VEE virus replicated poorly in serum-free medium. Propagation of VEE virus was accompanied by the production of hemagglutinin and cytopathogenic effects.
