At the age of 15 days, groups 1-4 were inoculated intranasally with 0.1 ml per chick containing 10 4.7 -10 4.8 median embryo infectious doses (EID 50 ) at passage level 3 of strains CH/CK/LHLJ/04V, CK/CH/LDL/04II, CK/CH/LXJ/02I and CK/CH/LSHH/03I. The CH/CK/LHLJ/04V strain was serially passaged 110 times by inoculating 9-day-old SPF chicken eggs by the allantoic cavity route as described previously [19] . Virus titrations were performed in 9-day-old embryonated chicken SPF eggs via the allantoic cavity route of inoculation, and titers were expressed as 50% (median) embryo infectious doses (EID 50 ) [9, 37] . ./cache/cord-260145-grz0fe9l.txt ./txt/cord-260145-grz0fe9l.txt
