Cytopathic Effect and Plaque Formation by Arboviruses in a Continuous Cell Line (XTC-2) from the Toad Xenopus laevis

Department of Entomology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT

Forty-six arboviruses were tested for c.p.e. and/or plaque formation in an amphibian cell line. C.p.e. was observed with a high proportion of the viruses tested. Comparative plaque assay, in the XTC-2 cells at 28 °C and Vero cells at 37 °C, suggests that these systems are comparable in sensitivity and susceptibility to infection. Practical uses of this cell line are discussed.
