Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) causes the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease, which is characterized by the appearance of vesicles in and around the mouth and feet of cloven-hoofed animals. BHK21 cells are the cell line of choice for the propagation of FMDV for vaccine production world-wide but vary in their susceptibility for different FMDV strains. Previous studies showed that the FMDV resistance of a certain BHK cell line can be overcome by using a closely related but permissive cell line for the pre-adaptation of the virus, but the adapted strains were found to harbor several capsid mutations. In this study, these adaptive mutations were introduced into the original Asia-1 Shamir isolate individually or in combination to create a panel of 17 Asia-1 mutants by reverse genetics and examine the effects of the mutations on receptor usage, viral growth, immunogenicity and stability. A single amino acid exchange from glutamic acid to lysine at position 202 in VP1 turned out to be of major importance for productive infection of the suspension cell line BHK-2P. In consequence, two traditionally passage-derived strains and two recombinant viruses with a minimum set of mutations were tested in vivo. While the passaged-derived viruses showed a reduced particle stability, the genetically modified viruses were more stable but did not confer a protective immune response against the original virus isolate.

The MVPK-1 cell line, derived from fetal porcine kidney cells, supports the replication of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus. The cell line was adapted to grow in medium containing 5% bovine serum. The susceptibility of the adapted cells decreased as they aged at 37 °C. Various clones were isolated from the adapted cells and their growth characteristics and sustained susceptibility to FMD virus were compared. Clone 7 maintained uniform susceptibility to FMD virus over a 3-day period at 37 °C and proved superior to other clones in the characteristics studied. The clone has maintained satisfactory susceptibility to FMD virus through 40 subcultures. Clone 7 can replace primary bovine kidney cells for routine viral assays, but cannot detect as much FMD virus in animal specimens as primary bovine kidney, bovine thyroid, or swine kidney cells.
