Most coronaviruses won't grow in the lab. One group, the human coronaviruses type 2, when first isolated, would only grow in cultures of the human fetal tracheal organ, Dr. Holmes said. The SARS virus is unusual in this respect; it is readily isolated from patients and grows in standard laboratory cells — which should allow scientists to isolate it from animals that harbor it. Dr. Holmes, for one, is delighted. "That is wonderful. It is a gift from God," she said. "Otherwise, we would still be trying to figure out what it is."

spoken like a true microbiologist... :o)
