title: Lysis of chicken lymphocytes by infectious bursal disease viruses.
abstract: Infectious bursal disease virus types 1 and 2 were able to induce direct lysis of chicken bursal cells, thymus cells, and peripheral blood lymphocytes in chromium-release assays. These two viruses were unable to lyse two established lymphoblastoid cell lines, although IBDV-1 was capable of multiplying in MSB-1 cells.
