title: Growth and characterisation of human faecal astrovirus in a continuous cell line.
abstract: We report conditions for the growth of human faecal astrovirus in a continuous colonic carcinoma cell line (CaCo-2). Purified particles contained three polypeptides, one of which (24k) appeared loosely held on the exterior.
