Abstract
UK diagnostic laboratories use primary monkey kidney (PMK) cells as their main substrate for virus detection. In an attempt to obtain a substitute, thirty four immortalised Rhesus monkey kidney cells have been established by transfection with the SV40 large T antigen oncogene. Of these, five were found to approach primary Rhesus kidney cells in senstivity to human viruses and are being given further evaluation.
