Cenogenetic processes, on the other hand, include such phenomena as the formation of yolk and the embryonic membranes, the temporary allantoic circulation, the navel, the curved and contracted shape of the embryo, and the like.

From about 1940 Burnet's main interest in virology was influenza virus. 9 He showed that influenza virus could be isolated from human cases by inoculation of throat washings into the amniotic sac, and a year later that virus isolated in this way could be quickly adapted to grow in the allantoic sac.

To those who know nothing of the stimulating power of the Aristotelian biological works, Albert's description of the embryos of fish and his accurate distinction of their mode of development from that of birds, by the absence of an allantoic membrane in the one and its presence in the other, must surely be startling.

APMV-5 Kunitachi virus is unusual in that it lacks a virion hemagglutinin and does not grow in the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
Interestingly, APMV-5 failed to grow in the allantoic cavity of 9-day-old embryonated chicken eggs, which is contrary to all other APMV serotypes. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
APMV-5 failed to grow in the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs, in contrast to all hemagglutinating APMVs, which grow in the allantoic cavity. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference

It is tempting to suggest that there is a link between these observations: specifically, that the lack of a strong HA in APMV-5 renders the virus unable to bind to receptors present on cells of the allantoic cavity. From Wordnik.com. [PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles] Reference
With the formation of the amnion the embryo is, in most animals, entirely separated from the chorion, and is only again united to it when the allantoic mesoderm spreads over and becomes applied to its inner surface.

Interestingly APMV-5 grew in the amniotic cavity rather than the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs: the initial report describing the first isolation of APMV-5 had suggested that the virus did grow in the allantoic cavity of chicken eggs.

Supplementation with 10% fresh allantoic fluid, acetyl trypsin (1-5 µg/ml), or α-chymotrypsin (1-5 µg/ml) did not enhance the growth of the virus, indicating the lack of a requirement for external protease for efficient cleavage of the F protein.

Blood is carried to the allantoic sac by the two allantoic or umbilical arteries, which are continuous with the primitive aortæ, and after circulating through the allantoic capillaries, is returned to the primitive heart by the two umbilical veins.

The growth of virus in each cell type was observed with and without the presence of 10% allantoic fluid, or 1-5 µg/ml of acetyl trypsin (Invitrogen, USA), or 1-5 µg/ml of α-chymotrypsin (Sigma), as potential sources of protease for cleavage of the F protein if necessary.

In summary, APMV-5 Kunitachi strain differs significantly from all other APMVs in the following ways; (i) having isolated only from budgerigars, (ii) the presence of an HN protein with no HA activity, (iii) the inability to grow in the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs, (iv) the presence of unusually long.

The hind-gut is at first prolonged backward into the body-stalk as the tube of the allantois; but, with the growth and flexure of the tail-end of the embryo, the body-stalk, with its contained allantoic tube, is carried forward to the ventral aspect of the body, and consequently a bend is formed at the junction of the hind-gut and allantois.

Whereas the pathogenic potential of APMV-4 to -9 is generally unknown APMV-5 has not been well-characterized but appears to differ from all the other APMV serotypes in two major attributes: (1) the inability to grow in allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs, and, (2) the failure to cause hemagglutination with chicken RBC.
