Comparison of caprine, human and bovine strains of respiratory syncytial virus.
A new continuous ovine kidney cell line allowing the growth of caprine, human and bovine respiratory syncytial virus was used to minimize host cell related variations for the direct comparison of the viral ultrastructures, serological relationships and structural protein profiles. Results show that all three strains are closely related although a closer relationship was found between bovine and caprine RS.
