Summary
Sialodacryoadenitis virus of rat readily propagated and induced marked cytopathic effect in a rat cell line, LBC cell culture, which provides a sensitive, practical assay system for viral infectivity and neutralizing antibody, and a satisfactory source of the virus.
Keywords: Cell Culture, Infectious Disease, Viral Infectivity, Assay System, Neutralize Antibody
