C.p.e. was observed with a high proportion of the viruses tested. Comparative plaque assay, in the XTC-2 cells at 28 °C and Vero cells at 37 °C, suggests that these systems are comparable in sensitivity and susceptibility to infection. Practical uses of this cell line are discussed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-35-2-335
