Abstract

SUMMARY The duck embryo fibroblast cell line CCL-141 was found to be visibly susceptible to the agent of duck viral enteritis. Homogenates of tissues from victims of an epizootic were used in a microtiter plate system for direct isolations and concurrent virus identifications by serum-neutralization tests. Definitive virological results were obtained within 60-72 hours. Procedures are described for using this combination of cells and assay system for efficient and economical testing that is not restricted by seasonal scarcities of ducklings or fertile duck eggs.
