Abstract
Chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and Vero cells infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) exhibited the biochemical feature of apoptosis. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA extracted from IBDV-infected cells revealed the characteristic laddering pattern of DNA fragmentation, which was more intense in infected CEFs than in Vero cells. The appearance of apoptotic nucleosomal DNA fragments in IBDV-infected CEFs was independent of virus replication and occurred at an early stage following in vitro infection.Entities:
