Abstract

Continuous cell lines that are highly permissive to infection by porcine circovirus type 2 ('PCV2') are described. PCV2 is the causal agent of post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome ('PMWS') in pigs. PMWS has emerged as a major disease that poses a significant threat to the economics of global swine industry. The highly permissive cell lines of this invention provide efficient and reliable sources of PCV2 for use in development of vaccines, therapies and diagnostic agents for PMWS.
