| Summary |
Sequential appearance of both swine vesicular disease virus and Coxs-ackievirus BS antigens in a pig kidney cell line was studied by immuno-fluorescence and electron microscopy. The replication cycle of each virus was approximately 3-4 h. Viral antigens were demonstrable in the ytoplasm 2 h after inoculation. A compact mass of fluorescence was seen when cells showed cytopathogenic effect at 5.5 b. After 3 h, a few viral particles, seen by electron microscopy, were in the cytoplasm. Morphological changes of cells occurred at the same time. Cytoplasmic crystalline arrays of Yirus were first detected at 7 h.
