Differences between these two cell lines were observed in virus plaque forming ability, rate of viral DNA replication, time course of infectious virus production, and the mechanism of virus release from infected cells. Replication of Hz-2V in Ld652Y cells was more productive and more closely resembled in vivo virus replication.}, keywords = {Animals, Baculoviridae, Cell Line, DNA Replication, Lepidoptera, Molecular Mimicry, Time Factors, Virus Cultivation, Virus Replication}, issn = {0022-2011}, doi = {10.1006/jipa.2000.4990}, author = {Lu, H and Burand, J P} }
