Next steps

Identify/develop cell lines that replace primary cultures for improved virus isolation techniques

Research Question

  • In order to replace laborious and homogeneous primary cultures for virus isolation, cell cultures need to be found that support ASFV replication

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Identify/develop cell lines that replace primary cultures for improved virus isolation techniques

Solution Routes

  • Systematic screening of cell lines
  • Development of recombinant cell lines

Dependencies

  • Discovery of the virus cellular receptors, immune markers of infection, and the pathways involved in virus replication and virus virulence
