Plaque formation of LaSota pathogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus adapted in chick embryo fibroblast cells

In order to adapt LaSota strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) on chick embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells, 0.1 ml from LaSota vaccine produced in Razi vaccine and serum research institute inoculated to the CEF cells and was passaged five times in the CEF grown in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (MEM). First to third passages were blind but in fourth passage cytopathic effect of virus was observe...

Newcastle disease virus LaSota strain kills human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro with high selectivity.

CONTEXT Pancreatic cancer is highly resistant to treatment. Previously, we showed that Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain 73-T was highly cytotoxic to a range of tumor types in vitro and in vivo but the effects of NDV on pancreatic tumors are unknown. We determined the cytotoxicity of the lentogenic LaSota strain of NDV (NDV-LS) toward 7 different human pancreatic tumor cell lines and 4 norma...

Plaque formation in chick embryo fibroblast cells by Chlamydia isolated from avian and mammalian sources.

Fifteen strains of chlamydial agents, 2 Chlamydia trachomatis and 13 Chlamydia psittaci, were tested for plaque formation on chick embryo fibroblast cells. C. trachomatis strains did not form plaques; 12 strains of C. psittaci did form plaques and 1 strain did not. The distribution of plaque sizes with C. psittaci strains was studied and it was found that the 12 strains could be tentatively gro...

Clone Purification, Characterization and Standardization of LaSota Strain for Developing a Live Vaccine against Newcastle Disease Virus

Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most serious illnesses of chickens. Live vaccines are widely used to prevent chicken from the disease all over the world. To access the effective and potentiate ND vaccine, a homogenous subpopulation from LaSota strain was selected following cultivation of the virus on primary chicken embryofibroblast (CEF) cells. Pathogenicity indices and molecular characte...

Historical note on the origin of the LaSota strain of Newcastle disease virus.

The spread of a pathogenic and an apathogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus in the chick embryo as depending on the protease sensitivity of the virus glycoproteins.

The pathogenic strain Italien and the apathogenic strain Ulster of Newcastle disease virus have been compared with respect to organ tropism and spread of infection in 11-day-old chick embryos. After infection of the endodermal layer of the chorioallantoic membrane by intra-allantoic inoculation with strain Italien, high virus titres are found in all extra-embryonic membranes and fluids and in t...
