3. Incubation of cell cultures Inoculated cell cultures are incubated at 1 5 0 C for seven days. If the colour of the cell culture medium changes from red to yellow indicating medium acidification, pH adjustment with sterile bicarbonate solu­ tion or equivalent substances has to be performed to ensure cell susceptibility to virus infection. Titration every six months of frozen stocks of VHSV and IHNV is performed to verify the susceptibility of the cell cultures to infection.

4. Microscopy Inoculated cell cultures are inspected daily for the occurence of CPE at about 40 x magnification. If obvious CPE is observed, virus identification procedures according to section IV have to be initiated immediately. At the same time appropriate steps are taken to suspend the approved status of the production unit from where the virus positive sample originated as well as from any production units situated downstream. Suspension of approved status has to be maintained until laboratory tests have proved the virus in ques­ tion not to be VHSV or IHNV. A maximum of four weeks are allowed for identification of the virus, including the time needed for examination in reference laboratories.

5. Subcultivation If no CPE has developed after incubation for seven days, subcultivation is performed to fresh cell cultures utilizing a cell area similar to that of the primary culture. Aliquots of medium from all cultures/wells constituting the primary culture are pooled according to cell line following one freeze-thaw cycle of the cultures and 0,5 ml of the medium mixed with equal parts of antiserum to IPN as described in Section II.3 . and the mixture incubated at 15 °C for 60 minutes. The mixture is then inoculated into homologous cell cultures at dilutions 1 : 1 and 1 : 100 as described in section III.2. The inoculation may be preceded by preincubation of the dilutions with divalent antiserum to IPN virus at appropriate dilution. The inoculated cultures are then incubated for seven days at 15 °C with observation as in Section III.4.

IV. Virus identification

1 . Neutralization If evidence of CPE has been observed in a cell culture, medium is collected, cells removed by low speed centrifugation or membrane filtration (0.45 Um) and medium then diluted 1 : 100 and 1:10 000 in cell culture medium . Aliquots of the dilutions are mixed and incubated for 60 minutes at 1 5 0 C with equal parts of the following reagents separately : — group specific antibody to VHSV (Egtved virus) I : 50 (* — group specific antibody to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) 1 : 50 f — specific divalent antiserum to infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) (reference strains Sp and Ab) 1 : 50 (* — medium 1 : 1 C) or as specified by the reference laboratory with regard to the possible cytotoxicity of the antisera. The reagents used have to be of reference quality with regard to titre and specificity. From each virus-serum mixture at least two cell cultures are inoculated with 50 U1 each and then incubated at 1 5 0 C. Development of CPE is checked as described in Section III.4. If the test has not allowed safe identification of the virus within one week, one of the following steps has to be taken : (a) transfer of the virus to a national fish virus reference laboratory for immediate identification ; (b) application of immunofluorescence (IFAT) (Section IV.2.), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Section IV.3.) or other virus identification techniques with reagents of reference quality.
