Description

Japanese quail embryo (QE) cells were compared to chicken embryo (CE) cells with regard to the production of some group A arboviruses. The virus yield in QE cells was about the same as that in CE cells. The sensitivity of plaque assay of the viruses in QE cells was nearly equal to that in CE cells, although a certain range of fluctuation among individual culture bottles of QE cells was observed. QE cultures were found to possess some advantages for production and titration of group A arboviruses when compared CE cell system.
