title: Establishment and preliminary characterization of a cell line persistently infected with Newcastle disease virus.
abstract: A murine osteosarcoma (OGS) cell line was permanently infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The presence of NDV in the subsequent passages was demonstrated by haemadsorption and by immunofluorescence. Compared to the uninfected OGS line the persistently infected cells had a slightly reduced growth rate and they had a reduced sensitivity to several viruses, shown by several different methods. Interferon sensitivity was considerably reduced in the OGS-NDV cells, both the antiviral activity and the cell multiplication inhibitory activity.
