| Abstract |
A duck embryo permanent cell line, free from endogenous avian retroviruses
has been established. The cell line, designated as DEC 99 has been
cultured over 140 consecutive passages and it is not tumorigenic for birds.
The DEC 99 cell line is a standard cell culture system that has been used
for research and can be applied for the needs of biotechnology. This cell
line is a suitable model for studies in the field of cell biology,
virology, immunology, toxicology and for the production of diagnostics and
vaccines.
