Abstract

A fibroblast-like continuous cell line was established from the kidney tissue of the female Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) and designated as GK cell line. The cells were susceptible to the infection with several DNA and RNA animal viruses, particularly with four prototype strains of dengue viruses and the HEP-Flury strain of rabies virus.
