The scientists passaged a bat coronavirus from Laos that is a distant cousin of SARS-CoV-2 through human cells and in mice to see whether it acquired a specific mutation that would help it infect people.

The infected cells were passaged the next day and selected in puromycin for 3 days.

Comparison of airborne transmission of experimental passaged A/H5N1 and 2009 pandemic A/H1N1 viruses in individual ferrets.

Because no airborne transmission was observed in experiment 2, A/H5N1wildtype and A/H5N1HA Q222L,G224S PB2 E627K were serially passaged in ferrets to allow adaptation for efficient replication in mammals.

And passaging in cell cultures often deletes the furin cleavage site or makes viruses weaker.

The Sabin vaccine was created in the 1940s and ’50s by passaging the virus through animal cells until scientists found a suitably weakened form.

Although we observed several other mutations, their occurrence was not consistent among the airborne viruses, indicating that of the heterogeneous virus populations generated by passaging in ferrets, viruses with different genotypes were transmissible.

In those studies, H5N1 viruses were made transmissible via respiratory droplets among ferrets by engineering the virus; well-described and published protocols including reverse genetics, reassortment, and passaging of viruses in mammals were used.

Gay young men, on passaging horses, half drew their swords and growled unintelligible remarks, desisting only at the sight of Claire Agnew's pale face underneath her hood.
