Cytolytic Effect of Newcastle Disease Virus Strain V4 (UPM) on Leukemic Cell Lines Cem-Ss and Hl 60

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was classified into the order Mononegalavirales, family Paramyxoviridae, su b-famil y Paramyxovirinae and genus Avulavirus. The genome consists of a single stranded, non-segmented, enveloped negative sense RNA which consists of about 15 kb, encoding six viral protei...

The genome consists of a single stranded, non-segmented, enveloped negative sense RNA which consists of about 15 kb, encoding six viral proteins which are the phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), fusion protein (F), hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein (HN), polymerase (L) and nucleoprotein (NP).
