Localisation on foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) of an antigenic deficiency induced by passage in BHK cells.
Passage of FMDV in BHK suspended cells was confirmed to induce an antigenic deficiency on the virion. By immunodiffusion experiments with complete virus, with trypsin-treated virus and with 12S virus fraction it was shown that the induced antigenic deficiency is located on the trypsin-removable part of the virion. These results were confirmed by absorption experiments.
