Potential of Kidney Cell Cultures from Nonhibernating Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrels (Citellus tridecemlineatus) for Virus Propagation ¹

Space Sciences Research Center and Department of Microbiology, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65201

ABSTRACT

Kidney cells were cultured in vitro from nonhibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Citellus tridecemlineatus). These primary ground squirrel kidney cultures were tested for the ability to support the replication of 13 viruses representing nine virus groups. The cultures were shown to be susceptible to every virus tested, either by an increase in infectious virus or by the cytopathic effect produced.
