ABSTRACT
Fowl adenoviruses, many of which appear to be non-pathogenic, are ubiquitous in birds. In addition, the genome of these viruses is large, making them ideal candidates for construction as vectors for foreign genes. Current methods to cultivate fowl adenoviruses use primary cell cultures derived from embryonated chicken eggs. In order to provide a more suitable culture method, the growth of fowl adenovirus type 8 (FAdV-8) was investigated in CH-SAH, a continuous hepatoma cell line. A one step growth curve demonstrated release of extracellular virus beginning by 18 h p.i. and with a final yield about 100 fold higher than that in chicken embryo liver cells. Viral DNA synthesis was first detected 8 h prior to this. The CH-SAH cell line supported the production of progeny viruses similar to the wild-type virus after being transfected with purified FAdV-8 DNA. This study demonstrated that the continuous hepatoma cell line is an appropriate in vitro host for FAdV-8.
