Propagation of feline infectious peritonitis virus in tissue cultures

摘要

This invention relates to a method for the propagation of feline infectious peritonits (FIP) virus by means of tissue culture. It has been found that FIP virus can be propagated in organ cultures, for example, using feline tracheal rings or small intestine, as well as monolayer cell cultures, for example, using feline kidney, lung or embryo cell cultures.
