Key result
Marek's disease virus lost pathogenicity and changed cytopathology after long cell-culture passage in duck embryo fibroblasts, with no cell-free virus recovered compared to chicken embryo fibroblasts.
Population

May affect MDV attenuation models in vitro; leaves open cellular determinants of pathogenicity for in vivo validation.
Marek's disease virus exhibits different cytopathology and cell-free virus recovery depending on whether it is cultured in duck or chicken embryo fibroblasts.
K. Nazerian (1970) studied Marek's disease virus (in vitro). Duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) culture vs. Chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) culture was evaluated on Cytopathology and pathogenicity of the virus. Marek's disease virus lost pathogenicity and changed cytopathology after long cell-culture passage in duck embryo fibroblasts, with no cell-free virus recovered compared to chicken embryo fibroblasts.
