As part of this study, we characterized three feline cell lines-two from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and one from Cornell University-and evaluated the replication kinetics, efficiency of plaque formation, and responsiveness of these cells to interferon (IFN) in order to identify the optimal cell culture conditions for type I FIPV Black. After observing the rapid and uniform development of CPE and release of virus into cell supernatants during infection of AK-D and Fcwf-4 CU cells, we reasoned that these cells would be employable in a standardized plaque assay to consistently determine FIPV Black titer. ./cache/cord-299976-36r794ow.txt ./txt/cord-299976-36r794ow.txt
