Caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus: an efficient method for the large scale production of serological antigens

J Virol Methods. 1987 Jul;16(4):323-6. doi: 10.1016/0166-0934(87)90017-6.

Abstract

Caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) was grown on a large scale in lamb corneal cell cultures. Antigens for use in two different CAEV agar gel immuno-diffusion tests were prepared from the same culture fluid. These antigens were separated on the basis of size by membrane filtration.
