Biomarker detection
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
