The present invention relates to the field of
biotechnology. The present invention provides a
grass carp brain cell line sensitive to
grass carp reovirus type II, which was deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection on October 19, 2024, with a deposit number of CCTCC NO: C2024101. The
grass carp brain cell line constructed by the present invention shows remarkable stability and successfully achieved 60 stable passages. When inoculated with GCRV‑II, an atypical
cytopathic effect can be exhibited. In addition, the grass
carp brain cell line has the ability to efficiently replicate GCRV‑II, and even after
three generations of blind transmission, the generated cytotoxin can still cause grass
carp to become ill and die. Therefore, the present invention has laid a
solid foundation for in-depth exploration of the pathogenic mechanism of GCRV‑II, vaccine development, and
antiviral drug screening, which will help promote further progress in related research and provide a key
cell model and research basis for the formulation of grass
carp reovirus-related research and prevention and control strategies.
