Introduction
• Cultivation of viruses in chick embryo • different type of approach.• For all practical purposes they behave as
tissue cultures
History
Burnet
First used for cultivation of viruses by Ernest GoodPasteur and Burnet (1931) F.M. Burnet in thelaboratory in theearly 1950's, wasexperimentingon influenzavirus genetics,using thedeveloping hen'segg.

EMBRYONATED EGG
state of a fertilized egg containing an embryo foetus in its early stages of developments especially before it has reached a distinctively recognizable form).
7
EGGS USED IN VIROLOGY
• HEN EGG• DUCK EGG• TURKEY’S EGG
8
Selection of egg
• must be sterile • shell should be intact and healthy.• should be obtained from non-vaccinated,
disease-free flocks
9
Process of artificial incubation
• incubation - 38 – 39°C and 60 – 70% humidity.• need to be turned at least twice a day or• rolled continually in a specially designed egg
incubator.
10
EGG INCUBATOR
11
Egg incubator• artificially hatched - controlled and favourable conditions• maintain favourable incubation/ environment - constant temperature
over a specified period.• electrically heated – thermostat• intelligent control system - correct measurement of heat quantity ,• - adjusting hatching control
temperature constantly • variation of temperature - ambient to 70° C • controlled by “JUMO”/ EGO” German
Capillary thermostat having accuracy of + 0.5° c.• Capacity:• 50 to 2000 eggs•
12
ADVANTAGES OF EMBRYONATED EGG
Ideal for viruses to grow, offers several sites for virus cultivation Isolation and cultivation of many avian viruses and few mammalian viruses Sterile and wide range of tissues and fluids Economical and Readily available Maintenance easier Less labour (not need feeding and caging) They do not have immune mechanism like animals to counteract virus
infection.
13
DISADVANTAGES
Some viruses do not show growth on primary inoculation into the egg.
Slight amount of bacterial contamination in the inoculum may kill the embryo.
Eggs may be contaminated with mycoplasma and latent fowl viruses which may interfere with the growth of other virus.
14
CANDLING OF EGG:
process of holding a strong beam of light
above or below the egg
to observe the embryo.
done in a darkened room
or area shielded by curtains
Use candling box
15
CANDLING BOX
consists of A candling lamp a strong electric bulb covered by a plastic or aluminium container
with handle and aperture.
16
17
PROCEDURE OF CANDLINGThe egg is placed against the aperture and illuminated by light.
18
• Under the candling lamp, the embryo appears as a dark shadow with the head as a dark spot (eye).
• Incubated eggs are candled daily to see the chicken embryos inside
19
Live Embryonated Egg Healthy embryos will respond to the light by moving.
20
Dead embryo-Candling will reveal a small dark area and disrupted blood vessels.
21
MARKING OF AIRSAC 1. Hold the blunt end of the egg against
the aperture of the candling lamp and note the position of the head of the embryo.
2.Draw a line on the shell marking the
edge of the air sac. 3.Draw an x approximately 2mm above
this line.
22
ROUTES OF INOCULATION
1. Allantoic cavity2. Yolk sac 3. Chorio- allantoic membrane (CAM)4.Amniotic cavity
23
Materials required for egg inoculation• Egg• Egg holders• Egg shell punch• Cotton wool• 70% alcohol• Syringe 1ml• Needles preferably 23-25 gauge• Stationery tape or melted wax to seal the inoculation site• Inoculum• Discard tray

ALLANTOIC INOCULATION1. 9-12 days old egg required
VIRUS WHICH CAN BE HARVESTED
INFLEUNZA
MUMPS
AVIAN ADENOVIRUS
NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS
27
STEPSCandle the eggs
mark the airsac.
28
Puncture the shell over the centre of the air sac.
Insert a 23- gauge needle, 1-1/2 inches in length on a 1 ml syringe, into the egg through the puncture in the shell at a 45 angle to the long axis of the egg and away from the embryo.
29
• Inject O.2ml of fluid into the egg
• Seal the puncture with
- Nail polish/cellophone tape
• Position the eggs and incubate at 37o C.
30
ALLANTOIC ROUTE – INOCULATION SITE DETERMINATION
31
Harvesting of Allantoic Fluid• Eggs must be chilled to obtain allantoic fluid
free of RBCs.• Clean the upper half of the shell with 70%
alcohol.• Cut away the shell above the air space.• Peel away the white opaque shell membrane
lining the air space, exposing the transparent allantoic membrane directly beneath.
32
• Tear the allantoic membrane with sterile forceps.
• Attach a ballpoint needle to a syringe and insert the needle into the cavity.
• Remove the fluid by suction.
• Culture the harvested fluid in a suitable medium for a sterility check.
33
YOLK SAC INOCULATION
• 6-8 days old eggs required.
Virus and bacteria which can be harvested
Rickettsiae
Chlamydia trachomatis
C. psittaci
HERPES SIMPLEX
VIRUS
34
STEPS1. Candle
the egg and mark the position of the airsac
35
2.Puncture the shell over the centre of the air cell
36
3. Insert a 22 gauge needle,2 inches in length on a syringe, into the egg via the puncture
4. Point the needle straight down for depth of about 1-1/2 inches.
5. Express 0.5 ml of inoculum into the yolk sac.
AIRSAC PUNCTURED hole
Yolk sac
needle
37
6. Seal the puncture with nail polish or cellophane tape.
7. Incubate the eggs.
38
HARVESTING OF YOLK SAC
• Disinfect the upper half of the shell.• Remove the shell, shell membrane and
underlying chorio-allantoic membrane.• Lift the embryo up with sterile forceps to
expose the attached yolk sac.• Pull the yolk sac free with another pair of
forceps and place it in a sterile petridish.
39
Chorio- Allantoic Membrane (CAM) Inoculation
• 11- 14 days old eggs required
Viruses inoculated
HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS
POX VIRUS
ROUS SARCOMA VIRUS
40
Candle the egg and locate an area on the side of the egg that is free of large blood vessels. Mark this area with a pencil.
41
grind a hole through the shell, but not the shell membrane , at the site marked.
42
Puncture a second hole at the air sac end, this time penetrating the outer shell membrane.
43
• Place a drop of sterile physiological saline on the side hole and gently tease apart the fibers of the shell membrane with a 27- gauge needle.
• When the shell membrane has been penetrated, the drop of saline will be drawn into the egg as a result of separation of the CAM and shell membrane.
44
Apply negative pressure to the air space opening by means of mouth suction with a rubber tube.
As the air is removed the CAM will drop from the shell around the side hole, creating an artificial airspace , outline the limits of artificial airspace.
Express 0.2 ml of inoculum through the side opening onto the CAM.
Negative pressure
45
46
• Seal openings with cellophane tape.
• Gently rotate the egg to spread the inoculum over the entire CAM under the false air space.
• Incubate the eggs on side with false air space upward.
47
Harvesting the CAM Membrane
• Disinfect the shell.• With sterile scissors, cut through the shell
along the longitudinal axis, about 1/3 down from the upper surface.
• Gently remove the shell to a discard pan.• With sterile forceps,lift the CAM, cut free.• Place the CAM in sterile saline and float free
for examination.
48
AMNIOTIC CAVITY INOCULATION
• 9-10 days old egg required.
VIRUS INOCULATED
INFLEUNZA VIRUS
MUMPS VIRUS
49
STEPS
• Candle the egg and mark the position of the embryo and the outline of the airspace on the shell.
• Punch a hole through the shell at the edge of the airspace directly above the embryo.
• Using a 23- gauge, 1 inch needle on a syringe make a short jab through the punched hole, towards the embryo.
50
51
• When the amniotic membrane is penetrated, the embryo will be seen to follow the movements of the needle.
• Express upto 0.2 ml of inoculum.
• Seal the puncture with nail polish or cellophane tape and incubate at 37o C.
52
HARVESTING OF AMNIOTIC FLUID
• Remove the shell and shell membrane below the air space.
• Remove the fluid from the allantoic cavity , the amnion should then be clearly visible.
• Remove the amniotic fluid with a 20- gauge needle and syringe.
53

55
GROWTH OF VIRUS ON THE CAM• Formation of characteristic pocks.• Variola produces small circular pocks, dome shaped, no
surrounding necrosis or haemmorrhage whereas• Vaccinia virus larger lesions , flattened with necrosis and
haemmorrhage.
• Herpes simplex virus- -small , oval shaped with- no evidence of necrosis
