title: Development of a cell culture line of bovine fetal endometrial cells.
abstract: Monolayers of bovine fetal endometrial cells were established as primary culture cells within 1 to 2 weeks. After the 2nd passage, these cells were inoculated with bovine viral diarrhea virus. Effects of the virus were observed each day with a light microscope. Specific cytopathic effects consisting of degeneration and sloughing of the cells and a well-defined pattern of cytoplasmic vacuolation were observed at 5 days after inoculation.
