RODRIGUEZ, Edisleidy; BETANCOURT, A  and  BARRERAS, Maritza. MULTIPLICATION OF A TRANSMISSIBLE GASTROENTERITIS VIRUS CUBAN ISOLATE IN DIFFERENT CELL LINES. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.1, pp.48-52. ISSN 0253-570X.

In this study we report a wide range of cells from different species, in which a Cuban TGE isolate multiplies. Both primary cultures and continuous cell lines from different species were used. We found out that 11 from the 13 kinds of cultures assessed were sensitive to the Cuban isolate, which not only showed an expected affinity to cells from porcine origin, but also it was able to replicate and produce a cytopathic effect in cells from bovine, hamster, monkey and quail origin.

Keywords : transmissible gastroenteritis virus; porcine coronavirus; TGE; cellular multiplication; cytopathic effect.
