Growth and replication of infectious bursal disease virus in the fish cell line as an experimental vaccine.

Recently, several attempts have been made to replace egg-based with cell-based vaccines to prevent and control Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV). This study aimed to evaluate a new fish cell line (M99) for culturing and replicating IBDV. After observing complete cytopathic effects (CPE) on the M99 cell line, virus titers were determined using the TCID50 test, and the presence of the virus was confirmed using an RT-PCR test.
