Growth of Rio Bravo Virus in Cell Cultures

Growth of Rio Bravo virus in cell cultures.

The growth of Rio Bravo virus (RBV) in eight cell culture systems was studied. Highest yields of virus were produced in BHK-21 (C13), L, and Vero cell lines, but L cells were resistant to low doses of virus. LLC-MK(2), HeLa, and human embryo skin cells produced moderate amounts of virus, but FL amnion and primary chick embryo fibroblasts supported little virus growth. Virus was rapidly inactiva...
