title: [Isolation of HAV from sea clam].
abstract: Three strains of HAV were isolated directly from clams (Arca Subcrensta Lisckke) collected from sea with cell culture and identified by electron microscopy, immunofluorescent test, ELISA, HAV-cDNA hybridization and neutralization test. The strains were stably passed in 2BS cells with the titer of 4.0-5.0 TCID50/ml. Results indicated that the clams were contaminated by HAV and may cause an outbreak of hepatitis A.
