FT cells recover more rhinovirus strains than HeLa; leaves open complementary cell-line use for rare serotypes and dual infections in diagnostics.
While rhinoviruses are generally less efficiently recovered in HeLa cells compared to diploid fibroblasts, HeLa cells can detect certain rare serotypes and reveal dual rhinovirus infections.
Cooney et al. (1977) studied this question.
