inhibitor of the lipid peroxidation induced by iron salts and ascorbic acid.7) It has been revealed that mammalian cells in culture do not always Tequire transferrin, ifiTon is provided as a complex with appropriate chelators.8) To design a protein-free medium for hybridomas, we studied the effect of ferric citratc as an alternative to transferrin on thc proliferation of hybridomas. Mouse hybri...

Schmallenberg virus (SBV), an arthropod borne pathogen, spread rapidly throughout the majority of Europe since 2011. It can cause a febrile disease, milk drop, diarrhea, and fetal malformation in ruminants. SBV, a member of the Simbu serogroup within the genus Orthobunyavirus, is closely related to Akabane virus (AKAV) and Aino virus (AINOV) among others. In the present study, 4 Holstein-Friesi...
