Summary
A nuclear polyhedrosis virus ofHyphantria cunea replicated successfully in theTrichoplusia ni cell line. Restriction endonuclease analysis of the viral DNA obtained from infected cell culture showed the same general homogeneity as that from virus isolated from diseased host larvae. Electron microscopic observations showed that the occluded virus from cell culture consists of rod-like nucleocapsids (31×320 nm) enveloped in aggregates and embedded in polyhedral inclusion bodies from 0.6 to 2.5 μm in diameter.
