PK-15, MARC-145, 293T, and COS-7 cells were purchased from China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, Wuhan, China). MARC-145 and 293T cells were grown in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum FBS (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA). PK-15 and COS-7 cells were grown in minimal essential medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% FBS. PAMs were collected from PRRSV negative pigs (28 days old) and maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Wild-type highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV) SD16 strain was isolated by plaque purification and grown in MARC-145 cells as previously described53 (link). HP-PRRSV SD16-EGFP recombinant virus was engineered as described previously33 (link). Pig rotavirus (AV-55) was purchased from China Center of Veterinary Culture Collection and was propagated on MA-104 cells54 .
