Abstract
Primary cultures represent the most reliable method to isolate and propagate field isolates of African swine fever virus (ASFV ). Within the pig ASFV predominantly targets the reticuloendothelial system for replication; therefore, primary macrophage cell cultures are commonly used to isolate, propagate, and study the virus life cycle in the laboratory. In this chapter we will describe methods for the direct isolation of pulmonary alveolar macrophages by lung lavage and the culture of monocyte-derived macrophages from pig blood. We also include a method for the positive selection of CD14+ monocytes as a source for monocyte-derived macrophages from pig blood using microbeads.
