Title Growth of lymphocystis virus in a sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch) cell line.
Citation Singap. Vet. J. 11:78-85(1987)
Abstract Lymphocystis virus (LV) was propagated and passaged in a cell line (BF-2) originating from the caudal trunk of the temperate fresh water Bluegill fry (Lapomis macrochirus) and a local tropical marine seabass (Later calcarifer Bloch) cell culture which has been immortalised after 77 passages. The seabass cells were found also to be sensitive to the virus and this is illustrated by comparing the virus growth curves in the 2 cell lines.
