Comments
The presence of a porcine papovavirus in PK(15) cells has been reported in cells obtained from multiple sources including the ATCC.
The Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture has determined that ATCC CCL-33 is not infected with Hog cholera virus or African swine fever virus, and uses this line to screen for those viruses.
The cell line harbors an endogenous C-type retrovirus.
The cells are positive for porcine circovirus (PCV) antigens.
The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
