ABSTRACT
The establishment of two Marek's disease herpesvirus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (JMV-1 and JM-1) is reported. Cocultivation with chicken embryo fibroblasts, attempts to rescue Marek's disease virus from kidney cell cultures, and immunofluorescent staining show that JMV-1 is a nonproductive line and JM-1 is a productive line.
