Comparison of pathogenicity and immunogenicity of two strains (TCND and Montana) of Newcastle disease virus propagated in four tissue cell types

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...

Detection of specific antigens of Newcastle disease virus using an absorbed Western blotting method

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an economically important poultry pathogen with a worldwide distribution that may infect a wide range of domestic and wild avian species. The identification of different pathotypes of NDVs plays an important role in the diagnosis and development of vaccines to control and eradicate NDV infections. In our previous study, we showed that mono-specific antibodies ca...
