| turkey herpesvirus infection in chickens: induction of lymphoproliferative lesions and characterization of vaccinal immunity against marek's disease. | chickens vaccinated at hatching with high doses of turkey herpesvirus (hvt) developed viremia that peaked in titer around the 12th day and gradually declined. hvt infection also induced mild microscopic lymphoproliferative lesions in the nerves and gonads. these lesions were most prominent around the 12th day and then regressed. the fact that such lesions were also induced by hvt in cyclophosphamide-treated chicks suggests that they were t-cell-dependent. some of the cells in early hvt lesions a ... | 1976 | 186008 |
| avian cell cultures grown in an open system (dishes) without co2 incubator, and their use for virus cultivation. | an organic buffer, n-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-n'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (hepes), in a culture medium made it possible to culture chick embryo fibroblast (cef), duck embryo fibroblast (def), and chick kidney (ck) cells in an open system (dishes) under incubation in a bacteriological incubator, requiring no co2 incubation. cef, def, and ck cells cultured with this system were suitable for cultivation of avain viruses such as newcastle disease virus, celo virus, marek's disease virus, and turkey her ... | 1976 | 186014 |

| characteristics of jmv marek's disease tumor: a nonproductively infected transplantable cell lacking in rescuable virus. | cells of the jmv marek's disease (md) tumor, originally produced by rapid serial passage of md lymphoma cells in chickens, were characterized to determine whether they were of host or donor origin and to ascertain certain virus-host cell interrelationships. differences noted in blood group b surface alloantigens between tumor cells and host lymphocytes indicated a probable nonhost origin (i.e., transplantability) of the tumor. jmv spleen tumors contained predominantly large lymphoblasts bearing ... | 1976 | 187779 |
