## Abstract Four lymphoblastoid cell lines were established from tumors of turkeys inoculated with high doses of the GA strain of Marek's disease virus (MDV). Unlike other MD lymphoblastoid cell lines of chicken origin, these MDV transformed turkey lines appear to be B lymphocytes and produce immun

Abstract
Six new Marek's disease (MD) lymphoblastoid cell lines were established in vitro by cultivation in medium containing 2βmercaptoethanol (2βME). Attempts using primary lymphoma cells were generally unsuccessful; only one of 28 lymphomas yielded a cell line and that one came from an experimentally immunosuppressed chicken. In contrast, two of seven lowβpassage, and two of two established MD transplantable lymphomas grew readily in vitro. A sixth line was obtained using buffy coat cells from leukemic chicken. It was concluded that the use of transplantable tumor cells and a medium containing 2βME provided a combination highly sulted to the establishment of cell lines from MD.
