TLDR
It was found that the sera of pubertal quails had no antibody to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), strains Brian, RSV (RAV-1), Schmidt-Ruppin, Carr-Zilber, as well as to Marek's disease and Newcastle disease viruses.Abstract:
Contamination of Japanese quail, strain Pharaoh, cell culture with oncogenous and infectious avian viruses was studied. The susceptibility of the embryonal cell cultures of the Japanese quail, strain Pharaoh, to measles, parotitis and fixed rabies viruses was also determined. It was found that the sera of pubertal quails had no antibody to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), strains Brian, RSV (RAV-1), Schmidt-Ruppin, Carr-Zilber, as well as to Marek's disease and Newcastle disease viruses. No reverse transcriptase activity was detected in the embryonal alantoic fluid of this avian species. The quails were less susceptible, as compared to the chicken, to Schmidt-Ruppin and Carr-Zilber strains of RSV. Measles, parotitis and fixed rabies viruses reproduced actively in the Japanese quail, Pharaoh strain, embryonal cell cultures. It is suggested that the embryonal cell cultures of this avian species can be used as a leukemia-free substrate for experimental studies and manufacturing of viral vaccines.read more

Immortalized avian cell lines for virus production
Sandig Volker,Ingo Jordan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for the production of avian cell lines suitable for production of biologicals or viruses for vaccination, where the cell lines are derived from primary cells which are transformed with at least two viral or cellular genes, one of which causes cell cycle progression whereas the other interferes with innate protective mechanisms of the cell induced by dysregulated replication.
