Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for in vitro culture of cells infected by a virus associated with multiple sclerosis and to the infected cell lines thus produced. According to the invention, the process includes: a) cultivation of human cells infected by a viral strain to obtain at least one culture of primary cells infected by the viral strain, b) cultivation of non-infected human cells permissive to the viral strain to obtain at least one permissive culture, c) cocultivation of at least one sample of a culture of infected primary cells and one sample of the permissive culture to obtain a first infected derived culture, d) cultivation in series of the first infected derived culture. The invention is used in particular in the pharmaceutical diagnostics industry sector.
