In this study, we describe the in vitro assembly and recovery of an infectious clone of IBV-H120, the biological and immune characteristics of the rescued H120 virus (R-H120), and the potential to use R120 as a candidate of vaccine vector in the future vaccine development. The IBV strains, H120 and Mass41, obtained from China Institute of Veterinary Drug Control (IVDC), were propagated in the allantoic cavities of the 10-day-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs (ECE), and the allantoic fluid was harvested 36 h post inoculation. Three groups of chickens were challenged with the virulent strain Mass41 to test if the rescued virus could protect the immunized animals from IBV infection. ./cache/cord-305079-foifc8ch.txt ./txt/cord-305079-foifc8ch.txt
