Abstract
A process for growing a PRRSV in a tissue culture which is susceptible to infection and replication of PRRSV to an amount sufficient to protect animals against PRRS or be used in diagnosing PRRS or identifying the molecular structure of PRRSV for development of recombinant products, comprising inoculating the PRRSV onto the tissue culture and harvesting the replicated PRRSV.
Claims3
A process for growing a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) designated as ATCC VR 2402 by growing the virus in a tissue culture to an amount sufficient to protect animals against PRRS to diagnose PRRS or to identify the molecular structure of PRRSV for subunit or recombinant products, comprising inoculating PRRSV onto a tissue culture which is of a cloned African Green Monkey Kidney cell line clone 9009B designated as ATCC CRL 11302 and harvesting the grown virus.
